The Moment Everything Changed
At a glittering Hollywood party in winter 2022, something felt off. Everyone looked thinner-dramatically so. When I joked about a citywide Pilates craze, a friend pulled out a light blue plastic tube with a tiny needle: Ozempic. That moment crystallized years of personal struggle, dating back to that mortifying Christmas Eve in 2009 when my local KFC staff handed me a card reading "To our best customer." Financial analysts are now comparing these drugs to the invention of the smartphone. Nearly half of Americans say they'd take them, with projections suggesting 20-30% of Britons will use them within a decade-potentially creating a $200 billion global market by 2030. Yet something gnawed at me. Obesity kills between 112,000 and 678,000 Americans annually, far exceeding gun deaths. But we didn't get here through disease-we got here through transformed food systems, unwalkable cities, and crushing stress. Are we simply injecting one poison to counter another? We know shockingly little about long-term effects, and scientists aren't entirely sure why these drugs even work.
