The only positive here is that diet is being considered. With GLP1s alone, we will see more harm than good. Back in 2023, I wrote how the DASH diet was just as effective as GLP1s — while being safer and cheaper as well. Hopefully the DASH diet will be tried extensively before these drugs are implemented: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-hidden-struggle-in-health-care
But overall agree: if this is just a way to get people, then its horrible. Ironically, GLP1s shouldn't be pushed on seniors, but if done, then you're right — this will harm seniors :(
And yet it is the people who get in line...just like SHEEP. No one is putting a gun to their head either. I am blown away by the amount of DRUGS America takes for its tiny size (345 million on a planet of 8.2 BILLION). 2/3s of PHARMA drugs consumed are in AMERICA
Oh dear. Seems like Dr. Oz is up to his old tricks involving drugs. The only side effect of GLP-1 that I saw mentioned in the article involved muscle density, while I've read that it has many more side-effects, including stomach paralysis and kidney damage. If you're going to demand strict cost-benefit analyses of vaccines, maybe do the same here? And while we're at it, can we be brutally honest about human nature? This drug addresses almost the entire panoply of mortal sins (gluttony, greed, sloth, envy, maybe even lust) yet is being analyzed as if it were to be used and prescribed by robots. Medicare may have strict limits on its use but experience tells us that within 24 hours both users and prescribers will have figured out how to game these rules. It will filter from Medicare to Medicaid and finally become a mandated insurance benefit; the entire country will be like the morons in Hollywood making their thin selves thinner; manufacturers will find new uses for it; half our GNP will be GLP (which would be a good slogan for the opposition); and people who are fat because of Pepsi and Twinkies and the screens they stare at will still be living on Pepsi and Twinkies and staring at screens. Oh joy! Novo Nordisk is probably already working on drugs to increase muscle mass and improve our intelligence so we don't have to lift a finger to make our own lives worth living. Why is this seen as a leap forward into anything good?
These GLP drugs are NOT good! I have diabetes and my dr prescribed them to me. In 4 months my Pancrease no longer makes enzymes to absorb vitamins from food. DO NOT TAKE IT! For your health. The Pig Enzymes I have to take cost me 4k a month now. Please, I BEG you - DO NOT DO IT! 💯
Its JUST surreal how people never learn. The amount of adverse events and consequences we will be seeing over the coming years with such a PUSH on these drugs will be over the top!
Obesity is a a condition, one of choices and consequences. The disease is that we think obesity should be fixed with pharmaceutical interventions instead of diet and habit changes.
Wouldnt a quick pill to lose weight just cause people to think they can eat even more junk? Which would cause all kinds of additional problems? Seems crazy. I dont want to pay for people to eat more. Insane.
This does not address the cost of eating whole foods! Seniors are eating processed foods because that's all they can afford. This is a bandaid for poor eating habits that some are trapped into
Again, MAHA is doing such great things on the farming and food side for the most part. Why are you aligned with the Republicans and now weight loss drugs? Please!
For anyone interested, info regarding class action lawsuits involving toxic fragrance in public spaces
Cole & Van Law Firm is pursuing class action lawsuits against various types of organizations including businesses, medical facilities, hotels, and employers etc, on behalf of individuals who have experienced respiratory issues from scented products such as air fresheners in public spaces.
These cases will focus on situations where scented products contributed to breathing problems or respiratory conditions. The goal of this type of litigation is to seek accountability for affected individuals while encouraging safer environmental and workplace standards.
They just filed the first lawsuit against the Marriott. (many places such as airports and hotels are infusing toxic fragrance through HVAC systems)
To cause obesity in laboratory mice all that is needed is MSG. It causes obscenely massive obesity. McDonald's is the world's largest purveyor of MSG. Duh
Junk food, made to be addictive, with chemical additives, but no nutrition, is where the cigarette companies moved after they lost the regulatory war on cigarettes.
The smokers mostly died off over time.
Would it be the same with the elimination of effective subsidies for junk food, outlawing advertising for it, and heavy taxation?
Another way to kill off seniors and enrich pharma. Lord have mercy. WEFers are rejoicing.

Have you seen the side effects people are suffering from these drugs?
No.

Apparently, they have new microdose versions that have fewer side effects...
MAYBE STOP SCREWING AROUND W OUR FOOD!!!

This is not good news. The government-led low-fat craze led to this problem, and now the government is going to fix it with a pill?
Disappointing!

Take away the inticements; Sweet, Salty, Sticky, or Crunchy, maybe
