A new version of the popular diabetes treatment Mounjaro can be sold as a weight-loss drug, U.S. regulators announced Wednesday.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Eli Lilly’s drug, named Zepbound. The drug, also known as tirzepatide, helped dieters lose as much as 40 to 60 pounds in testing.
‘lmao like how are people homeless, just get a house’
People can have self control. It’s possible through nothing more than willpower to choose to eat less and just do it. Just like how there are people who choose to stop drinking alcohol. They chose to be sober and then they worked at being sober. Some people get help with support groups but there are a lot of sober people who just chose to stop drinking. People can infact choose to eat less. I’m not saying it isn’t hard but it is possible. No one can choose to have a house through willpower alone.
You can downvote me all you want. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Because I think it’s so incredibly weird how every little imperfection now needs the pharmaceutical industry to sell you a pill to fix it. Medicine is one thing. Antipsychotics, schizophrenia, ADHD medications, etc. there are plenty of things that require medication. But weight loss? Come on. Unless you have some diagnosed underlying condition, which I imagine is rather rare, then you don’t need a pill to lose weight. You are capable of doing on your own.
Yeah, just like homeless people can just get a house, overweight people can just eat less. Simple shit with no more nuance whatsoever. No need for any deeper investigation of these complex topics. Let’s keep minimizing both of these groups without any form of empathy like the piles of shit we make ourselves out to be.
