Health secretary announces trials to assess impact of medicines such as Ozempic or Mounjaro on worklessness
It is certainly true that obesity is becoming a bigger and bigger problem every year and that puttting our collective heads in the sand over it isn't going to help any...
But I can't say I like the idea of forcing body altering drugs on people who seek unemployment assistance, even if it's meant to be for the sake of their health. It feels like one hell of a slippery slope.
It's not a slippery slope at all, this is one drug recall away from a Rifftrax of Logan's Run.
Didn't really sound like it would be forced upon people? That would be pretty outrageous.
Sounds like a politician that yearns to profit from pharmaceutical companies like his big brothers in the corrupt United States.
Well why would you do something stupid like make healthy food more accessible when you can line the pockets of pharmaceutical companies AND stab poor people.
worklessness
Is this the new term being used to stigmatize the unemployed and disabled? Sure sounds like it.
i don't understand what weightloss has to do with unemployment 😶
Everyone knows that fat people just sit around all day not working!!
Or, you know, you could offer free unprocessed food to the unemployed? It'd be easy to lose weight and improve your health if you got nothing but veggies with a bit of meat
