Junk food is addictive. Drugs like Ozempic treat addiction. But when will we tackle Big Food like we did Big Tobacco?

"Review: Diet, Drugs and Dopamine: The Promise – and Peril – of the Latest
Weight-Loss Drugs – David A. Kessler (Text Publishing)

Since Ozempic hit the public consciousness as a weight-loss medication, one in
eight Americans have tried it (or a version of it) to lose weight.

This is remarkable: less than five years ago, most people reading this would
not have known these drugs existed. As availability of Ozempic and other GLP-1
based medications has increased, so has controversy. Are they worsening “fat
stigma”? Are they safe in the long term? Why aren’t they more affordable?
Aren’t they just a chemical solution to a man-made problem?"
