Our New Year’s resolutions include ingesting more protein. Like that found in eggs. Remember when eggs were bad? Then they were good. Then they were expensive. Then they weren’t. And now they’re expensive again.

Where do they hurt? In the wallet. Around 65% of folks taking drugs like Ozempic quit within a year. Not because they don’t work or because of side effects. It’s because they’re expensive, like a grand a month, and most health insurance doesn’t cover them for weight loss. For diabetes, they generally do.
The policy is likely penny-wise and pound-foolish because the cost of obesity has got be enormous. Heart disease, diabetes, cancer, broken chairs.
