i don’t disagree. Just pointing out that (obviously) this should be a last resort drug. AFTER someone has tried lifestyle interventions for a few years IMO.
The problem is when someone does NOT put in the effort to talk to their doctor, meet with a dietician, learn about healthy eating, and put in an honest effort to improve their life before just popping a pill.
That said, i think it’s great that’s it’s helping people who otherwise would just be obese and have many other health issues due to that. It’s a big risk factor.
