US moving in the wrong direction. 10th highest in the world (men) and children/adolescent 4x increase. Healthcare as a percentage of GDP approaching 20%. Several variables driving that but this is a big one.

Which is why Eli Lilly is going to crush it for the next decade. Obesity is the biggest health issue which leads to so many diseases. In the end, it will be cheaper for insurance companies to cover the costs of monjouro and other weight loss drugs.

Yup, that is our culture. Solve everything with a pill or injection instead of dealing with the causes. You can only trick your body for so long, and that doesn’t even factor in long term side effects. Everyone is happy…drug industry; food industry.

A financial planner told me years ago to invest in markets that you have some insight as to how it works. Investing in Pharma has worked out pretty well.

when the question of obesity comes up, it would be doing a disservice to not mention the big offenders no?

its a massive drag on our country. its why our employer healthcare deductible are so high, what fuels companies to keep promoting unhealthy food, keep making the miracle drug. a lot of those states contribute nothing to the country to balance it out. their big enterprise of church doesnt even pay back taxes. they ALL are voting for trump, which not only bad in itself but guaranteeing a biden win which is also putting this country back YEARS. the list goes on and on. all of the northeastern and west states are on the right end of this. what values do they share? what values do the southern states share? theres a pattern.

so its not lame , its true. so when you talk about subjects in which southern states are main offenders lets just call it out.
