It's true, it isn't a free lunch. You, or your insurer, has to pay for it. It needs to be injected. It won't work as well if you insist on eating a pint of ice cream three times a day. And so on.

Yeah, good luck with that.

GLP-1 agonists reduce your desire for, and for many people, your ability to consume things like “a pint of ice cream three times a day.” That’s kinda the point.

The sarcasm in my reply did not come across it would seem.

"No free lunch" does not in any sense imply that there are no positive-sum decisions to be made.

Whoosh. I’m slow.
