#3I had the thought there are gonna be some people on these drugs who will still find a way to have bad diets that keeps them fat and unhealthy. Since they have less appetite instead of a sandwich and a milkshake they will skip to the milkshake only.

#6> A policy of cost-restriction and access guarantees would bring massive public health benefits.
Ah yes price controls, the best way to keep something inaccessible to everyone except those with personal connections.

When I was on Ozempic, I just didn't want the milkshake. It rewires all reward centers.

It’s not about either or but portion control and limiting caloric intake. Also with alcohol it’s reduced consumption.

#9I'm not very familiar with the approval process for new drugs, but as far as I know it involves some initial step where the safety is assessed, and then the effectiveness. But I don't think either of those are actually long term processes (like, longer than 5 years).
So it scares me a bit when something like Ozepmic pops up and tons of people jump on it, without knowing the long term effects that might appear. I read the other day there's an entire subreddit devoted to Ozempic side effects, and those are only short term ones (maybe those being discussed there were already discovered during the trials, I don't know to be honest).
Are my fears unfounded and just the result of my lack of knowledge around the approval process and/or the inner workings of drugs?
