It's somehow Ozempic and not the always rising, already high prices for everything required for daily life?

Also that consumers are increasingly aware of how atrocious the American diet is and want to eat food that's made out of food, not just endlessly processed nutrient-void corn covered in fucking sugar.

Is this speculation or you live seen large shifts in consumer sentiment that coincide with Ozempic?

[bobthepanda]

They are correlating it with Ozempic purchases according to TFA

[pclmulqdq]

Ozempic purchases happen to also be correlated with rising prices, though.

Presumably they're looking at comparable shoppers before and after one starts Ozempic during the same time period. Or are you implying people are starting Ozempic to avoid buying food?

How is Walmart obtaining data on when individual people start taking Ozempic? That seems like quite a HIPAA violation.

[drewbug01]

I’d suspect it has something to do with signing up for an Ozempic discount card (which many people did / still do). Pretty sure they’re allowed to sell that data (their privacy policy seems to allow as much).

I read a recent article that said it cost $1,000/mo. So doubtful this would be a good strategy to save money.
