These drugs have been around for more than a decade.
It’s not something “new.”
The VA offered me this option. Thanks to a video I saw by Tucker Carlson I turned it down.
“This rush is eerily similar to the fen-phen craze, a temporary weight loss drug later pulled from the market for causing severe heart and lung issues.”
indeed ... i’ll never forget that ... best to wait to evaluate long-term effects of weight-loss drugs ...
and then of course, GLP-1s have one tiny little drawback aside from being exorbitantly expensive and causing a plethora of negative digestive side-effects that cause a large percentage of folks to quit taking them before a year is up, namely you have to take them the rest of your life because the minute you stop, you’ll soon gain all the lost weight back!
We used to have healthy food, until about 50 years ago, but now with all of the GMO and cross-breeding, about the only healthy food we can eat is meat, fish, and animal-derived products (such as eggs, cheese, etc.). The problem with today’s Frankenfoods is that they’re so new that our bodies haven’t had time to adapt to them...hence we get obesity and diabetes epidemics (and no, women didn’t go Planet Fitness 50+ years ago, nor did they need to).
People want a quick fix for their own mistakes. TV, Social Media and everything you see or read inundates folks hundreds of times daily to take a drug for something.
Folks dumb enough to buy the BS get what they deserve.
The FDA head was at this quaint little private meeting.
They all knew about the side effects back then, they all remembered fen-phen, they all did not care. Profit was the driving factor.
CEOs tend to be sociopaths.
Why pick on Ozempic? Mounjaro seems to be more effective as a weight loss drug if you are into that. Victoza, another GLP-1 has been around for 17 years, not pulled for adverse effects yet.
Skinny people do not like it when fat people lose weight. How can they feel superior if the fat people become skinny people??
A Tucker Carlson interview with Casey Means.
Casey used to be a lobbyist for the government and knows how big pharma, big ag, big medicine, and big food work together.
He reveals a lot about what’s going on behind closed doors. This interview is 41 minutes long, but is very good.

That’s Calley Means. His sister is Casey and she knows the medical complex from the inside, being a surgeon.

I know a few diabetics, but I know no one who was prescribed these drugs for that (or anything else FTM). Supposedly, this weight loss thing was found as a side effect.
It just seems strange to me.
Spoke with my neighbor yesterday. He was on Ozempic for 2.5 months without any problems. He lost 30 lbs. Stopped Ozempic. Gained 5 back due to Christmastime eating. During Ozempic, he was eating healthier with more large salads. He continues this healthier diet. He feels the 30lbs are off for good.
I have heard that Ozempic can cause blindness. In the wake of CoViD and the medicine hustle connected, one wonders if such a side effect was minimized or even hidden.
Don’t tell me, they added “added sugar” on top of “total sugar”. Read packaging cause that’s exactly how they describe it!
I suppose there’s something in there somewhere about Ozempic. It’s possible. Saw that word in the headline.

What are the eery similarities?
I have suspected this for a long time. Every time I make Hamburger Helper no mater how much I eat I never get full.
I know it's death on a stick but it tastes so yummy and yes I'm 25 pounds over weight.
“corn, wheat, soy, and canola ... are unhealthy”
Hmm.
“contribute to major health problems like diabetes and obesity.”
I think eating too much is what causes most diabetes and obesity.
