Given the popularity of these medications, it’s still amazing to me that we don’t see more articles about how it has changed the lives of many people. Nor have I seen much about how traumatic the shortages can be to people who have longed for positive results in their weight loss journey for years, only to have that hope taken away by an inability to obtain their medication.

            Isn’t tap water supplied by the city? Was there ever a need for tap water commercials?

            Maybe I’m just having a whoosh moment.

              That’s the point. Basic, health food doesn’t have the same kind of mega corps pushing it. You don’t see advertisements for a head of lettuce, you see it for candy or fast food burgers, so the news has a bias for pushing junk food.
