Why won't their chefs just cook them something healthier?*
Previous Message How do you think that research was funded to discover Ozempic? Just look at Abbvie and Humira. Humira was a cash cow for them, generating billions a year in pure profit. Their patent has just started to expire but in the last few years they took that profit and spent it buying up other early stage pharma companies with drugs that look promising but need funding and plowing billions into their own research. Drugs and medical advances that will do wonders for humans. I know this level of thinking is hard for you to understand, same with personal responsibility on saying yes to a salad, but just try to think more than one layer deep.
