Drugs Won't Fix Our Diet #shorts

Last night someone was talking about a drug that they were on called Contrave.

I don't know.

If you know this drug. I don't. But it's basically Naltrexone or Narcan. What you give to people who are having a heroin overdose. And you give that to someone who's overweight, it blocks the effect of sugar to hit that opioid receptor in the brain, which.

Is what it's doing. And that's sort of this implicit acknowledgement.

That these are addictive foods. The next logical question is going to.

Be, is there a better way to achieve this outcome? And we basically created the worst diet on the planet and are exporting it everywhere. And we have to understand why, right? Low cost, super convenient, tons of added sugar, fat, salt, make it largely addictive. And then you pour billions of dollars of super sexy marketing around the whole thing and it becomes fun as well. What we're trying to change is not just one or two communities or one or two insurance programs, but actually the culture of food and the food industry at scale. And it'll take a while to happen, but we're going to pursue it together.
