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

    The “mass” in “mass destruction” is referring to the quantity of the destruction, not what is being destroyed.

    The definition of mass being used in this context is an “a large quantity, amount, or number”

    Think of it like, “massive destruction”

    So, you’d have to be thinking of an amount of weight loss beyond what anyone has seen before.
