Your point about interest payments on the debt doesn't seem to support the assertion that we should go into more debt. It's not like we have a choice about continuing to make interest payments, which makes it a false comparison. R

If this works, I expect Big Food to boost the hell out of it. It has some plausible benefits over GLP-1s (avoiding uncomfortable side effects, which in rare cases continue after patients go off the drugs), and obviously it's better for
