Someone please explain what ozempic is. Are we going to cringe at it 10 years from now like all the other diet stuff in the past?
Ozempic is the main reason Denmark isn’t currently in a recession. it’s made by Novo Nordisk, the biggest company in Denmark and also one of the biggest in Europe. It technically was developed as some type of diabetes medication and then was discovered to help people lose a LOT of weight very quickly.
They’re going to ban Ozempic for purely capitalist reasons aren’t they. I guess we’re about to see who is more powerful, the pharma industry or the agriculture industry. The agriculture industry is going to have allies in the entire fast food industry as well here so I have to imagine they’re going to be the winners
they’ll do it as a moral panic type thing. play up the side effects and shame fat people for not being able to eat less.
What a profoundly stupid country this is
This would be really funny. I mean they let COVID spread rampantly for capitalist reasons so I don’t see why obesity curbs would be any different.
Capitalism when people dealing with medical conditions:
This is bad for business
Also:
Why cure anything when you can milk insurance for treatments for whatever it is for the rest of someone’s life?
This has permeated the medical/pharmaceutical industry so much that it affects the way we conceive of disease. It’s most pronounced in mental health.
