[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s sad. These people are going to be on this medication for life. Many will never develop healthy exercise habits which are as important as weight.

+1 True. And, now that these drugs are approved for young people, the next generation will think this is normal. [/quote]

You know what's not normal?  Feeling hungry ALL THE TIME.  Wegovy lessens that feeling and makes us NORMAL.[/quote]

What did people do 30+years ago when the overweight and obese were outliers? This is unsustainable. As soon as you go off those drugs, the hunger comes back. Soon we're going to have a large chunk of the population who will say they NEED these drugs because it's the ONLY way.

Medicaid/Medicare cannot sustain this cost. Forget national healthcare. I don't want it if it means we have to pay for this.[/quote]

Agreed. It just isn’t an economically viable solution to resolve all this with the huge amount of resources it takes to evaluate, invent, test, get through regulatory approval etc… in the end an economy is humans doing things and exchanging that via whatever medium for other humans doing other things.

If the default is to have a bail out, the overall results are not going to be particularly optimal. The solution is to work towards a population that doesn’t manage to get itself into this obesity predicament in the first instance. [/quote]

Ok. Ban the junk food. Done.

But we’re not going to do that are we? [/quote]
