PP had it right. We need to ask what's gone wrong in food production and regulation in the US and UK. This is not really very usefully understood at the level of individuals. Look at the population trends and look at the changes in food production over the last 30 years
I agree. Food isn't food any more. It's awful stuff, meat is full of water (in fact, it's advertised as 'not with added water' if it isn't!), meat is less nutritious, vegetables bred to be watery and bulky, apples, carrots, hardly anything is as delicious and as nutritious as it was in the past, and that's what research shows.
I also know, though, that the food industry has been allowed to run rampant through society, supermarkets make their money on mainly processed 'enhanced' foods and 50% of what babies and toddlers eat is UPF.
So, there's going to be no major change to this food landscape. Weight loss injections (soon to be pills) are a partial and not ideal solution to that, but we clearly don't have very many others if the majority of people are overweight or obese once they hit middle-age and above.
I would love to see far more government intervention around food. It's not happening though.
I don't think anyone sees these drugs as a miracle cure for society, perhaps a miracle in their own lives given what they've been through. Ideally, we would have access to better quality food, not have to work dual income families to afford rent/housing (so one person can prepare food at home), not have such long working hours, but in the absence of this, and in the absence of any real solution to increasing obesity in the past forty years, I think these drugs are probably good rather than bad.
