    Why?

    Because by the nature of how human fats work - there is hardly a safe way to get rid of them without working out. This is why every weight loss drug has had serious side effects.

    GLP-1 is like the first one that's supposedly safe for general public (hence the miracle), but we are already seeing lawsuits and what not from bad side effects, so might not be too big of a miracle after all.

    This is without even getting into the cardiovascular system and how this enables lazy lifestyle (instead of working out) that inevitably leads to early death for many

    Nothing is free, the difference between medicine and poison is dose.

    I would bet my life that there are unknown unfortunate side effects that a lot of people won't like; time will reveal. There's a race to sell all that they can now before those side effects are widely known

    I was interested in GLP-1 at one point, but after seeing the possible side effect of "hair loss", I decided my hair was preferable to 20 lb. weight loss.

    GLP drugs just reduce appatite, right?

    This.

    Fentanyl will fucking kill you with micro-grams of a dose spliced into that line you're about to snort.

    It'll also help your brain feel happy after you suffered a traumatic injury and you're laying in a hospital.

    I honestly don't even know how they work as they really aren't common in Europe. That being said, US is positioned in quite a terrible place when it comes to nutritionism, so on average for every pound American eats, they get like 70% percent of the nutrients and vitamins as opposed to someone from UK for example. This means that if Americans start eating less simply because of GLP, malnutrition is going to spike. For many the daily food is so bad that for you to not be deficient, you will be obese.

    Looking online, the stats look worse than I remembered, so I'm not sure how accurate it is.
