alt Hacker NewsWell, I'm describing how I perceive the world to be right now and ozempic is a technological solution to a societal problem. If as a society we can make steps to fix it (more walkable cities, less work in general, cheaper society, encourage smaller portions) then sure, maybe we don't need ozempic. But people have to organize and get involved in government to make this happen, which is harder than making a pill (it seems).

What society does or does not do has no impact on me consuming less calories on a daily basis.
I have the opportunity to buy soda 50 times a day. I choose not to.
I have the opportunity to buy a burger and fries for lunch. I choose not to.
Society could make many such things illegal or whatever, but at the end of the day what goes into my body is up to me. The buck stops with me and my choices.
