I first saw this article in 'The Daily Mail / UK' [0] a few days ago. I thought it was dark pattern advertising for a weight loss drug...
The DM article had pictures of a couple of attractive older women (skinny, the AFTER shot). Perhaps older women who feel overweight being the main target audience. Plus a picture of a (surprisingly) thin Elon Musk (ie; you too can be successful!)
Many of the comments on that page where people saying that buying less was the result of inflation. Something that makes far more sense. Maybe I'm just being cynical because a search just now [1] shows a few other sites parroting the same.
Or maybe Walmart has a vested interest in this drug because it feels like an odd thing to announce (a baseless claim?).
