Since Ozempic hit the public consciousness as a weight-loss medication, one in eight Americans have tried it (or a version of it) to lose weight.
This is remarkable: less than five years ago, most people reading this would not have known these drugs existed.

Aren’t they just a chemical solution to a man-made problem?
