A person can take a shot every week.

What’s a person supposed to do about a problem that’s probably tangled up in several major areas and would require large reforms across the economy? We can’t even get mandatory minimum paid leave or healthcare for everyone (both of which might well be components of fixing it “right” anyway!)

This is likely a problem that spans our food culture, business culture, economic structure, built geography, and social benefits system, among other things.

You can spend a lifetime fighting those and be fat the whole time because despite massive effort and objectively incredible achievements you and your movement only got us 5% (that’s a lot!) down the road towards fixing these things, in fifty years.

Or you can take a weekly shot and be well on your way in a month.

Working on the “real” fix is definitely something we should do (it’s not like the causes of this aren’t causing other things to suck, too) but even people doing that would probably like something available that they, not just their great-grandchildren, can have.
