    Gotta be Ozempic.

    Too many famous people who’ve been overweight for decades suddenly losing weight in the last couple of years.

    Nothing wrong with it though, hopefully it will start helping regular people lose weight as well.

      Or he was eating to compensate his frustration to promote software for Windows and since they made Proton, he is happy again.

        I 'm with you, truely.

        But what you’re describing is just how science works in a world where we’re trying to make discoveries quickly due to our lifespans only being around 75 years compared to the billions or millions or thousands of years for everything else existing.

        As long as we continue making discoveries along the way, this is progress. It sucks that we keep getting things partially wrong sometimes, like with asbestos, but we’ll eventually get it right as long as we keep following the process.

          The examples given are not problems with science and time-scales. They are examples of the corrupting influence of money. Companies push their product as being fantastic, and deliberately cripple any science that would challenge their profits. Cigarettes are probably the most famous example of this.

            That is a fair point for sure. No disagreement from me.

      He lives in NZ and therefore isn’t eating American poison that is sold as food

          Hasn’t been for a while. He was in NZ when the pandemic hit and has since made it his primary residence.

      I just wish I could afford it, but my insurance won’t cover it.

      People like Gabe are exactly the type that semaglutides were made for. Good for him either way.
