Healthy, Wealthy, and Wicked

The moralisation of semaglutide weight loss is nothing new. As of writing, these drugs (Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro) still need refinement. They do not yet come in oral form and must be injected. Yet, I am surprised by how short the lag has been between their introduction and the emergence of moralistic concerns. i.e.: They constitute an ' easy way out ' of healthy lifestyle choices. They exemplify, perpetuate, and exacerbate economic inequality. (Post-2020,  everything is apparently about economic inequality.)
