Using the term "hooked" to describe using a prescribed drug for a chronic condition is pretty moralistic.

Are cystic fibrosis patients hooked on Trikafta? Are people with high blood pressure hooked on ace inhibitors? Or are they taking a medication to control their symptoms and improve their health?

Technically you don't need to take a drug to control your weight, and you could do it all naturally (although this is also debatable, given genetics). However, the reality is that most obese people don't have the time, money, circumstance, genetics or willpower to control their weight themselves. Ozempic is a shortcut to better health outcomes in these patients, why shouldn't they take it?

You are making a false equivalence.

You do not need pills to lose weight.

Pills used to lose weight do not address root causes. At all.

Pills used to lose weight do not address the damage caused by everything that got someone to become obese.

The root cause are processed industrialized foods that poison everyone over time. The damage done by these foods to the body permeates the entire body, from the gut to the brain. Pills do not address this at all. Therefore, bad behaviors continue, damage continues to be caused and the person gets sicker and sicker while using a fake solution for weight loss.

Period.

If you want to argue against the claim that pills are not needed, you have to argue against all known human and animal biology, chemistry and physics. Get a grip.
