This is a very serious question. Since what we usually refer to as "weight" is actually mass if we use weight-loss drugs are we technically using weapons of mass destruction? :3c

No - As Einstein proved, mass can neither be created nor destroyed, they’re more weapons of mass transfer or weapons of mass conversion…

More showerthoughts material than anything, but I can't see an error with that argument.

I’m not clear where the “weapon” part comes in.

They are carbon positive. With people losing weight, that fat gets released as CO2 into the air

Damn fat jabs destroying the environment!11

Doubtful since they decrease appetite, which will decrease carbon emissions far more than the tiny amount your body releases.

Consider the carbon cost of manufacturing and distributing the drug too. The most carbon friendly thing you can do it store as much carbon as you can in your body. After you die we can seal you in a drum and throw it into an exhausted oil well.
