>The share of U.S. households reporting at least one user rose from about 11% in late 2023 to more than 16% by mid-2024.

I was wondering how you could get such a high impact overall. But it seems one in 6 households are on GLP-1 drugs in the US.

In my friend circle in Germany I don't even know one single person on this stuff.

It's insane to me that so many people need these to get off the processed foods killing them in the US.

I am not American, but I think you are unfairly dismissing the massive benefits GLP-1s have for people who struggle to maintain a healthy diet. It really feels like a miracle drug.

> It's insane to me that so many people need these to get off the processed foods killing them in the US.

Your comparison of your friends in Germany vs "insanity" in the US doesn't feel relevant

It does not read dismissive to me. They are surprised, yet not necessarily judging those who use it.

There can be a discussion about the perverse incentives of systems without judging the individuals.

He implies that people who are using Ozempic are eating too much processed food. And more or less also that mostly Americans eat processed food?

It's actually true that American's eat mostly processed food ... (Canadian's are not much better at just under 50%)
