I think we live in a society where everything is processed and appeals to our dopamine reward system when we eat food. It's why I was a binge eater, because I would feel happy while eating (followed by shitty feeling afterwards...). I think GLP medications play a huge role in regulating dopaminergic behavior and they are an equalizer in a society where the availability and engineering of food is essentially wired to get us fat.
Unfortunately there is such a stigma with anything medical, whether it's mental health, weight loss, dieting, etc. It is a tool to get us healthier, and it seems to have other positive health effects as well (Lilly is doing a trial on a similar med for alcohol use disorder)
