And these incretin memetics, GLP-1 drugs and others, have really taken the market by storm, taken our population by storm.

So I realize that much of this is in response to an obesity epidemic that we're facing in this country.

But it turns out that these incretin memetics may actually have other systemic benefits.

And they're now, I think there's 60 indications that they're being tested against, including kidney, neurological, cardiac.

I mean, there seems to be a lot of benefit potentially in using them for other disease indications.

Can you speak a little bit about your view on where this market, where this class of therapeutics is headed?

Is this something that some people have estimated are 60% of Americans are going to be on?

And if it is the case, does that mean we failed with our food system?

Yeah.
