I have great sympathy for loads of people I know and loads of people I know are out there who have been trying to lose weight, who can't lose weight.

They diet all the time.

They go in this regime and that regime.

They try to run.

They try to walk.

They're trying to get active.

It's incredibly difficult for them to lose weight.

So I have huge sympathy for them.

I really understand anybody who goes on these drugs because...

it basically psychologically, emotionally, physically, financially, you feel better because you are better.

In fact, I remember talking to a doctor who actually said you should put it in the water.

No, he didn't.

He said it's brilliant.

He said that most of his...

problems are weight related.

High blood pressure, bad tickers, all that sort of stuff.

So these things, these drugs are really powerfully positive for society.

That's the first thing.

And the second thing is they are powerfully positive for the individuals who take them because psychologically and physically, this is achieving something that people couldn't achieve prior to this.

There are purists who say, well, you shouldn't be overweight.
