Solving obesity is free. For the vast majority of people, Ozempic or Wigovy is solving a motivation/discipline problem, not an obesity problem.

Any other authoritarian ideas? What a great way to destroy innovation.

I'd invert that: on the scale of a population, motivation and discipline are empirically not the cure for obesity. The statistics and the studies are on my side here. I agree that it would be convenient if that strategy, which we've been trying for about 80 years now, suddenly turned out to work. But my guess is doubling down on it wouldn't be any more effective than it has been, so let's take this new approach, which appears to work much better, seriously.
