I cannot recommend this piece on obesity interventions enough: https://www.grid.news/story/science/2022/09/14/why-arent-medical-breakthroughs-in-obesity-a-bigger-deal/

In short, there is a perfect storm of reasons why the first real break-thrus for obesity treatment are not understood and trumpeted and it is killing Americans. As someone who has been prescribed semaglutide and cannot afford $900 a month, this piece resonates.
