Ozempic shouldn't be the main way to reduce obesity in a population. Ozempic is needed in the US because there it is almost impossible to stay thin since companies are allowed to put high fructose corn syrup into pretty much anything. Regulating and banning such behaviour will result into a healthier population, without needing controversial drugs that you basically have to take for your whole life and can have severe side effects. Ozempic should NOT be normalized and should only be prescribed when nothing else helps.
Kurzesagat has a explanation of the situation. GLP-1 drugs should be the standard, because the alternative is considerably worse. Besides, the behaviors you speak of is highly genetically determined, not a failure of morality or discipline.
