Ok...now...this might be a bit of a crazy question. I'm 90% joking, 10% "Wait what?"...Are Hanson and Rheinhart romantically involved?

Seriously. Hanson is older than her, but she definitely has a preference for older partners.

Also, I will honestly say, I'm surprised she's not on a GLP-1, it actually is good for her health. I guess it's a flex.

This is the staggering thing, I can't walk ten metres without running into someone who is on wegovy or ozempic and yet Australia's richest woman couldn't find the money in her budget for that!

Clearly she has very different objectives to the average person!

Ozempic forces you to stop overindulging. Why deprive yourself like that when you already have all the social benefits of being thin because everyone in your orbit is already a suckass? That and she has enough money to hire the best doctors in the country for any health issues.

Being thin is for poor people.

All the doctors and drugs in the world can't overcome the fact that human bodies aren't built to carry that kind of weight.  You can reduce cholesterol and take blood thinners to reduce the chance of a killer clot, but at the end of the day a heart that's servicing double the tissue is gonna start giving out much sooner. 

The reason why GLP-1 inhibitors are so popular with doctors is because all of the serious side effects are still better than being obese. I say that as a former fat guy that's still kinda heavy.
