United States of Antiobesity
Issue #170
Caffeine and nicotine helped to build the modern world, and they continue to shape it today.
GM🦁 Hey there people. This is Andrew's Apples, the 2-min health email for those who tell people they LOVE Biden and Fauci because… well damn, it’s just easier that way these days and way funnier. Ok, lock in.
🏘️ United States of Antiobesity. An antiobesity injection called Wegovy has become so popular that its maker will cut the supply for starter doses so that it can accommodate existing patients. The “magic pill” has some unmagical qualities to it: a user must take the drug indefinitely or else the lost weight returns; and side effects range from severe nausea and vomiting to warnings for thyroid tumors, pancreatitis, and suicidal ideation. 🍎Andrew's Take. The US adult obesity rate as of 2021 was 42% (recall: overweight = Big, obese = BIIIIIIIIIG). That means, for about half the adult population, walking to the neighborhood café is an Event. Normies are not ready for the conversation that needs to happen: one around hyper-palatable foods (i.e., unhealthy foods that taste artificially, supernaturally delicious). Instead, tens of millions of Americans will smash the red EASY button, ringing the giant cash registers for the Pharma companies. The problem will get bigger and bigger. Keep your eyes peeled for “health officials/experts” spreading sob stories about how we need to sympathize with those afflicted. The only Bananaland I subscribe to is Donkey Kong’s hometown… where they drive fast, eat outdoors, lift heavy, and hang in hammocks.
🕊️ Tweet of the Day. In the context of food, the childless youth care about the environment; it’s their #1. Once they have a kid, the near-antisocial obsession with the environment gets mostly supplanted by nutrition. Let the planet burn in 100 years if it means my Winston eats grass-fed beef and organic carrot mush. Just how it is.

How about them Apples? Hit me with any comments or questions.
