I wasn’t talking about nutrients at all. I was referring to the problems of over processed foods with lots of chemicals to increase shelf life and improve color and make them more addictive.

I’m not against Ozempic. But without it maybe the continued expansion of the obesity epidemic would have pushed the discussion.

If this accidentally prevents that discussion, I think that’s a problem. I’m not suggesting any change to the drug’s availability. Only concern over an important discussion.

It's been forty years, how much longer would it take to admit that's not happening?
