On: How long til we're all on Ozempic?

Sure, but so what? Until we can permanently change aspects of our brain, like our proclivity for addiction, then all interventions are bandaids on top of an underlying problem.

Even behavioral changes like avoiding fast food don't fix the underlying problem in your brain. It's topical.

It's amazing how the subject of Ozempic brings out such trivial claims uttered with a serious face.

The "obesity is a moral failing" argument has an exceptionally strong hold on people.

Way to strawman. That's not what I said.

Alright, what is the root cause we are putting a band-aid on, exactly?

[giantg2 → eightysixfour]

The combination of bad diet and lack of exercise. Specifically in the context of this conversation, its about how ozempic will not fix a bad diet. Eating less of a bad diet is better than eating more of a bad diet, but is still a bad diet in the end.

Right - why do people eat a bad diet?

[giantg2 → eightysixfour]

Preference

And using ozempic without those diet changes is the same damn thing. You need to work on it from both directions.
