1. Why would someone whose BMI is "not obese" need an experimental weight loss drug?

They claim that Generalissimo Bone Spurs is 6'3" and 238 pounds. That makes a BMI of 29.7, which is "overweight" but not "obese." (Note: if it was 240 pounds, his BMI would be 30.0, obese. Do you think maybe they picked a weight to get a result they wanted at the time?)

There are a number of weight loss drugs that are already approved. Why wouldn't Orange Caligula just use an approved one? Well, my guess is that he already tried them all and none of them could overcome his gluttony. It seems to me that the only reason for a non-obese person to need an experimental obesity drug is that they're all lying to us.
