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.

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