I totally agree that our lifestyles need to change. Unfortunately, as you note, the factors influencing lifestyle are deeply baked into our society. Like sure, I would love to wholesale rearrange our transportation infrastructure towards walking and biking while also somehow (???) changing American food culture to value healthier meals.
That’s not going to happen in our lifetimes though. Sorry.
In the meantime, tens of millions of people will have hundreds of millions of years cut off their healthy lives by heart disease, diabetes, liver disease, strokes, etc etc etc. Semaglutide will alleviate that. It’s exceptionally distasteful that the only way we get this is by pharma companies extracting as much as possible from us. Nonetheless, I prefer that over having countless lives destroyed while I keep my principles.
