I've been using compounded tirzepatide for some time now, and it has dramatically altered not only how much food I buy, but what kind; in some cases, I'll spend a lot more per unit since I know I'm buying a lot less.
The secondary effects for medical device makers (fewer gastric sleeves sold, more artificial hips and knees) sound promising for everyone's health!
Did Tirzepatide have any negative side effects for you psychologically speaking? I have been on and off the drug because I've found it harder to concentrate and affects my work performance - perhaps the lowered blood sugar gets to me. That and mild depressive effects.
This article is ... strange. It reads a lot like "arms manufacturers discuss concerns raised by emerging world peace".
Like, there will definitely be economic effects in some areas if weight-control-via-consumption-reduction treatments become commonplace. But isn't that ... good? If the goal is increased health, which it seems like these drugs could help many people with, then it seems odd to focus on the financial impacts to companies which profit from unhealth without discussing the benefits (to those receiving treatment and to society as a whole) as well.
"Arms manufacturers discuss concerns.." is precisely the kind of article I'd expect to see in Jane's Military Review, writing from the perspective of a Raytheon investor. It's a striking example of how sociopathic it feels to look at the world as a stock portfolio.
But why would they think about the benefits to society. Corporations only care about their bottom line. Furthermore this article is focusing on corporations reaction with respect to their their shareholders. Shareholders equally don’t care about people getting healthier, they want to know what the company are going to do about potential loss in customers.

I do agree though. It sickening
