The hard truth: Not everyone is capable of those things. Period.
We’re not talking about world class athlete. There a mile difference between world class athletes and not obese.
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.
