If you're worried about the possible, unknown side effects of GLP1s, check out the inevitable, well-known side effects of being morbidly overweight.

Thankfully, this is not a binary problem where those are the only two options :)

You don't need to start with GLP1s. You can start with smaller portions. Folks need to learn how to eat, not another drug.

All available evidence suggests this does not work at population scale.
Even more than that, dosing hundreds of millions of Americans for life is one insanely expensive and ridiculous solution.
Side note, is there good research on the effects of microplastics on the body? I'm holding out adding that to my plate of concerns until this is the case, and last I heard we were pretty in-the-dark on the topic.
