Weight loss drugs will probably shake out as the most important invention of the 2020s in terms of impact on the market. The prospects of fast food companies and anyone using a bunch of HFCS and fat and other pseudo-addicting additives to consumables will take a huge hit downward, and an enormous burden will be removed from the healthcare system due to all the expensive diseases caused by obesity that will be prevented.
If you don’t know, this stuff is basically narcan for goyslop. People with lifelong obesity who fail every diet and lifestyle change they’ve tried suddenly have self control, stop feeling the same cravings, and shed a ton of weight. Soon it will be available as a daily pill instead of a weekly injection.
So many elements of the economy will be impacted. Fashion, clothing, transportation (thing the average weight of every passenger in the US going down 50-100 lbs), food, healthcare.
Wouldn’t be surprised if a ton of lobbyists try to get this stuff banned. This is almost the “engine that runs on water” of nutrition.
