Yeah, I actually love that these medications treat obesity.
Yeah.
I think it's opening up the dialogue in a way that we've never seen in a scale larger than we've seen before and breaking down the stigma of addiction.
If we compare obesity and addiction, the similarities are so striking.
There are things that throughout generations we've told people that it's something that you are doing.
You are lazy.
You are not eating correctly.
No self-control.
No self-control.
Yeah.
Drugs, Nancy Reagan, just say no.
It's your moral fiber.
These are things that are wrong with you.
For the first time with an effective medication, we've been able to say, actually, this isn't just about you.
This isn't just that you are doing something wrong.
It's the system.
It's actually really, really hard to maintain a BMI of 45 if you can't walk into a restaurant and order 5,000 calories in one plate of food.
It's also really, really hard to be a drug addict and an alcoholic if you're not in a society where dopamine has basically been sold to the highest bidder for the past three generations.
So I think we're at a point now where we can, as a society, start clawing back some of that agency from the highest bidder to now giving it back to the people.
And that's where I think that this conversation is amazing.
