....or until they discover these drugs cause a myriad of other sicknesses or cancer that makes being overweight less of a problem......

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.

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…

I suspect issues like this are behind the constant barrage of hit pieces claiming Ozempic is bad for you, causes cancer, makes your face fall off, makes you grow horns, etc.

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.

“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.

Eat lower carb diets.

Your blood sugar won’t spike so much giving you sugar cravings when it plummets.

I can’t believe that doctors are pushing these drugs as well as Bariatric surgery! I listen to these doctors on SiriusXM satellite radio, channel 110.

I realize the docs feel very frustrated because of the fast growing obesity problem in US...even among our children. But to push drugs! and surgery! when the problem is sugar and processed foods. I walk through the grocery stores and notice the aisles and aisles of processed food. All have sugar added. Plus people eat all the time 3 meals a day, and snacks between meals. Constant eating.

Research the food industry esp sugar industry ie what changes have been made in our food since 1970. Food is so refined! ...so that we will eat more. Plus many of the medical folks like dieticians don’t mention that sugar as well as sugar substitutes are highly addictive.

I listen to doctors on YouTube who are discouraged about the medical profession. One that I can think of is Dr Suneel Dhand. He has yrs of clinical experience in UK and now US. He reviews the flaws of research done.

Pls research. We need to change these industries, and the way we eat, what we eat. People are so fat. What are we doing to ourselves???
