I agree, it's moralizing. The dependence on pharma is a real concern, particularly in a country (US obv) where they've got us all by the balls, but it's no less/more a problem here than for any other ailment requiring maintenance meds. We're still learning how the American diet and other environmental factors can literally change peoples' metabolism and it makes complete sense to me to treat the symptoms if we have the means to do so.

It’s a peptide like insulin. It’s made through recombinant DNA which can be done with desktop bioreactors, it doesn’t take a whole industry to make this stuff.
