Junk food companies 'freaking out' as people on weight-loss meds eat better: columnist

Raw Story  

Junk food companies are starting to get nervous over how many Americans use GLP-1 medications to lose weight. Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell walked through shocking details of the economic impact of drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic cited in a new study by Cornell University and Numerator. Meanwhile, the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, which makes Ozempic and Wegovy, made so much money that it impacted the country's economy. "Put another way: Overweight Americans unintentionally helped Danes get cheaper mortgages," wrote Rampell.
