Did you watch the South Park special on Ozempic?
I found it pretty entertaining, but humor is, of course, highly subjective 
Nope. I loved South Park because it seems nothing is sacred there, but haven’t seen it (or much of anything) in years.
I found this short clip - Randy gets shamed into trying it and now is convinced it’s the best thing ever.

It’s just 40min long. As with most SP epis, it’s a bit… over the top 
But anything featuring Randy is going to be good, and The Bare Midriff Ladies are a hoot.

After seeing that SP video, I realize that I have been using Ozempic all wrong.
LOL!

Since these drugs haven’t been tested for long term use, hope is what we have.
Phen Fen, ephedra, human gonadotropin, HGH had high hopes, too. Not to mention crazy nutrition theories.
Everyone wants what they want, immediately and without effort or discomfort. Why diet and exercise when you can pop a pill that will slim you down and put you among the cool kids?
Again, there are undoubtedly patients whose conditions are so dire that this kind of intervention is an acceptable gamble. My own hope is that society gets its nutritional and exercise acts together, and these drugs are only need by a few.
Ha, that’s rich. Not like the furtive GLP users aren’t furtively judging the obese.
That’s a nice thought, but that is never going to happen. Not with the food industry & lobbies here who put sugar and crap in everything, with snacks and XXL-sized food bags everywhere, not with food deserts, food insecurity, and malnutrition.
As long as those factors aren’t also dealt with, you’re expecting a lot from the individual. The proverbial boot straps do not exist in a vacuum.

Yeah, yeah, we’re all doomed by Big Ag, Big Insurance and Big Pharma and their ilk.
In reality, everyone has some bootstraps to pull themselves up by. All it takes is eyes to see and a little learning.
