Super dicey proposition. Society today is pushed toward medication and surgery for some good reasons, but also a lot of very corrupt reasons. There's an obesity epidemic for societal reasons, more sedentary lifestyles primarily, but also probably for chemical reasons, food and environmental adulteration and pollution, etc. I may be wrong, even very wrong, but it feels like allowing interests - in all likelihood monied interests - to push medication and surgery on children and the parents of those children... may be a very bad mistake, and additionally akin to paying money to an investment manager that lost your money in order to get advice on who to hire to manage your children's investments. Or something. I mean, it may be fine, or it may be the only workable answer at this point... but it's just so close to paying the people that caused the problem to solve the problem that it seems likely to be... a bad idea.
This is wrongthink, book yourself into re-education camp at your earliest opportunity.
Seriously you're pretty close to the mark. On a bigger scale I think we're in The Matrix and we are all emotional power cells as per Morpheus holding up a Duracell. When we get cancer and suffer then that creates a kind of energy they, our spiritual overlords, feed off of. When we become fat and gluttonous then that's another flavour of the energy.
Treating children for obesity is just another twist on squeezing new flavours of emotions from us.
Money itself is a kind of energy. It represents the energy of human labour. Coal is free but after humans have dug it out of the ground and delivered it to whoever pays to be able to burn it, that's what gives money it's value. What ever it is humans make the product or service have monitory value by their efforts.
I envisage a world were obesity becomes the primary driving force for generating money and powering The Matrix. All those people in pods will be eating and becoming larger. Their pleasure from their increasing obesity will provide the spiritual and monitory energy.
Any of these corporations hurting children to provide spiritual and monitory energy should be resisted. If the kids are getting fat then just leave them alone, they are having a nice life.
