Always be manufacturing the next crisis.
....or until they discover these drugs cause a myriad of other sicknesses or cancer that makes being overweight less of a problem......
I’m still here doing my part. Pass me another Reeses will ya? 😂👍
Wegovy and Ozempic cost about $1000 per month and insurance usually does not pay. If the prices are slashed to $250, then tens of millions more will take them. And really kill the junk food industry. Which employs so many food scientists perfecting these junks, and how to make them more alluring and more addictive.
If you had the symptoms these drugs cause, and weren’t taking them, they would be looking for what was wrong with you.
These things are going to be proven to be bad news when used electively for weight loss. I can already hear the class action lawsuit commercials about 10 years from now.
No. Just no.
We’re too addicted to ever go back to eating healthy.
I struggle with it and lost 40 pounds. Am at my ideal weight. I still see the chips and candy bars and I want them.
I wish I didn’t but I do.
On of the many side effects is GAS ,
Awwwwww...... can’t have people getting too healthy!!!
Not to worry - I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a Trojan Horse in there somewhere.

I suppose I’m a fortunate one, I take Ozempic for diabetes and have never been over weight except at birth (10 lbs 10 oz) It has helped greatly with my A/1C and I pay $5 monthly co pay, zero deductible
Too many gastric bypass patients regain weight after surgery …
Ozempic users will regain eating.
And are there any 10 year longitudinal studies on cancer while using this?
Banks should stick to projection monetary and investing trends where they suck less than Tory do with health trends…
The reality is that there isn't much worse for longevity than being obese. We're the most advanced nation in the history of the world with the most advanced healthcare industry yet our life expectancy continues to fall compared to our peer countries which is almost exclusively due to our obesity epidemic. Big agriculture is making billions selling us junk food which is killing us. Anything that will cut into those profits will NOT be tolerated, hence the deluge of fake news articles about these drugs and increasing insurance denials. We can't have Americans getting on medication that will stop them from stuffing their face with junk food, it's too profitable.
And top it with sugar free Reddi Wip.
As a diabetic I can tell you that the healthy but yummy option
is do-able - and delicious!
So NO whining!
“Two-thirds of people on weight-loss drugs....”
Visual evidence in all directions suggests that those drugs don’t work worth a damn. “Morbidly obese” is still the new “fat”.
Despite the obvious unhealthiness, the media has doubled down on glorifying fat ugly women as normal and beautiful, of which they are neither.
Until the Democrats go nuts with “fat taxes” and put the cost of swill out of reach — which they can’t do because it would piss off their voters — purveyors of fast food garbage such as Mickee Deez, etc. (and other producers of junk) have *nothing* to be worried about.
Fast food’s biggest problem right now is novelty and food quality.
Ozempiic and Wegoofy are going to kill a lot of people.
Lol. Does everyone out there agree to injecting their stomach?
Ozempic scientists: "We don't know why it works. We don't know how it works. We just know it works."
Sounds reassuring.
I've also read that people while people on Ozempic lose weight, they're also losing bone density and muscle mass along with the fat.
But, who cares? Lazy Americans just want to take a pill. Beats diet and exercise!
Eat lower carb diets.
Your blood sugar won’t spike so much giving you sugar cravings when it plummets.
