I saw this in the Dutch news two days ago and almost started looking for an English-language article to post here - but i figured someone else will do it sooner than later lol. But great news though, also for the climate ;).

Great news for the climate when not only fuel required drops, but also food intake

Would be cool if there would be a study on this, what amount of emission is saved by handing out ozempic and the likes and whether that is a good way of spending money aside from the health benefits.

Don't even need the ozempic if overweight people could just reduce their intake
