He's responding to a shit ton of anti-zionist twitter accounts through his instagram stories and throwing a tantrum about them. Go to r/h3snark to see more of them

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Also, not that this is even a negative thing on its own, but it's bold of someone who struggles with weight and is an unhealthy food enjoyer to shame someone for food they buy. It's a complete non-issue and not reflective of someone's character, but of course, Ethan has to find any angle to attack someone he feels threatened by
He apparently does not talk about how he lost all the weight that he lost, but it's pretty clear the subtext is he used something like Ozempic.
Now, I think that's great. Ozempic is doing wonders for people I know, and I support his use of it, but it's also very clear that he believes or has believed in the past that it is a form of cheating. It's also entirely possible that he believes he'll be accused of cheating. He is so critical of other people's weight that, too then openly admit his struggle with weight loss and the necessity of something like Ozempic would make him look like a total ass, unless he also acknowledged and apologized for all of the hateful things he said about overweight people in the past.
I don't think that's very on-brand for him though, so we won't see that any time soon.
He has talked about ozempic in positive terms. And he has been open about his weight loss. I believe he personally didnt use ozempic and he really hasnt shamed anyone else for using it, that i can remember. His weight loss started before the ozempic craze, but it took a year before people noticed he was getting thinner.
He definitely has an unhealthy view of food, calories, and weight though
Fair enough. I remember him doing dozens of types of diets, getting a trainer, being on Wellbutrin and complaining the whole time that he was getting nowhere. From what I was reading on the H3 Snark the loss came on sudden and fast, 5lbs a week, but this was after I stopped watching so maybe I've got the wrong idea.
I don't know the specifics but I remember him detailing it a while back. It seems more like he lost 10 or less lbs per month, and has just been doing basic caloric restriction. Before I remember him doing intermittent fasting and other stuff before, but I think this was pretty much just normal calorie counting.
He is constantly body checking, fat shaming, food obsessed. He lost weight but still has a disordered view of food and weight, and obsesses over it (not as much as he obsesses over being a zionist though)
