Join us in this episode as we talk with health reporter Martha Rosenberg about the complex dynamics behind obesity, junk food advertising, and the surge of new semaglutide-based weight loss drugs. We explore the implications of these drugs on public health, their potential long-term side effects, and the societal and economic impact of prioritizing quick fixes over sustainable health solutions. Martha provides an eye-opening look into the history of blockbuster drugs, the influence of advertising, and why addressing the root causes of obesity is more critical than ever.
Martha Rosenberg is a health reporter and the author of Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Lies and Born With a Junk Food Deficiency.
She discusses the KevinMD article, "Are rapid weight loss drugs hiding the real obesity problem?"
