Sir Chris Whitty Warns Against Obesity Drug Relyance

0:00On March 6, England's chief medical officer, Sir Chris Whitty, warns that turning to weight-loss drugs like Wagovi and Manjaro to fight obesity would mark a major societal and medical setback. He calls the drugs transformational for a very small group who truly need them, but relying on them for the masses is the wrong path, especially with two-thirds of UK adults now overweight or obese. Back in the early 1990s, the UK and France had similar obesity rates, but while France has kept level steady for decades, the UK's have skyrocketed. Meanwhile, the National Health Service provides these drugs only through specialist services for the highest-need patients yet a huge private market exists, with about 1.6 million people trying them in the past year. Sir Chris urges shifting focus to prevention, like France's success with healthier eating habits, tastier low-fat and low-shigger foods and curving, aggressive junk food marketing
