This is a good thing. After Medicare, it would go to Medicaid, and then 55 million overweight people on Medicaid would be allowed to get $1,700/month injections costing over 1 Trillion Dollars.
Kennedy talks about why we can't just give people vouchers to buy healthy food and education instead.
Why are you even in this sub? At 21 (now 53) was diagnosed with Graves' disease. Had to have my thyroid eradicated by radioactive iodine. I was allergic to the anti thyroid drugs that could have put the disease in remission. At the time, my thyroid was 97% over active.
Now- post menopause- I have tried to manage my weight and well, despite all efforts, it's become even harder. No working thyroid and all that comes from the wonderful "change of life." My body has continued to betray me. My metabolism just isn't what the normal person's is.
There are a myriad of issues out here where people struggle.
It isn't always about diet or exercise.
Take your food pyramid and find another sub. This isn't your place.
