Why doesn't everyone play piano? Why isn't every person a super athlete? Why doesn't everyone meditate 40 minutes a day? Why doesn't everyone study super hard in school and become an engineer or doctor or lawyer?

The hard truth: Not everyone is capable of those things. Period.

40% of the US population is considered obese. That is a HUGE number. At a certain point, you can no longer blame individuals. There is something wrong, and we identify it as an environmental problem.

So if we have a drug that will make a huge amount of people healthy, what is the downside? And for the record: Ozempic affects appetite so they eat better, that is part of the drug.
