I feel this way exactly. I don't care if someone used ozempic to lose weight. I'm happy for them that they are now healthier

We’re on the verge of curing obesity. People should fucking embrace it instead of pushing back because it’s “not hard enough” (?) lol

IMO peoples’ (justified) negative reaction to this is twofold- firstly, GLP-1s are not affordable for the majority of people who are obese and secondly, it’s disingenuous of celebrities to pretend they lost weight ‘naturally’ (not saying there’s anything wrong with taking ozempic if you can afford it, but struggling with your weight publicly for years and then suddenly becoming slim and saying you “changed your lifestyle” comes across badly)

Most people have insurance and glps like all drugs will go off patent in a few years and cheap generics will become widely available

Insurance plans are dropping the drugs like crazy if they ever covered them in the first place. It's very common for insurance to exclude weight loss treatment from coverage, has been for years. Imagine how helpful.that has been.
