Stuffing and gravy!

Ozempic is a serious drug with serious risks.

I wonder how many people still cook a traditional turkey dinner?

there’s way more to be thankful for today than gluttony.

Lazy people are abusing drugs that some of us need, driving up the cost and decreasing the availability. Yes, I will be on Ozempic or its ilk soon, but I’m a type 2 diabetic whose sugars are creeping up.

The guy on the right should be thankful for Medicare, which is there to help cover the costs of his prescriptions.

I’m on Ozempic for my diabetes; any weight loss is a side effect.

Who forgot to set the plates and silverware?

I’m thankful for being old enough to remember when Americans trusted/respected each other.

In 3 – 5 years the headlines will read about the dangers and dependency on Ozempic, and the drug cartels will have a new product to push.

Ozempic is only indicated for diabetes. It has a side effect of weight loss. Wegovy is approved for weight loss; it is in the same drug category as Ozempic and Trulicity (also only for diabetes). The disease of obesity needs to be treated. While bariactic surgery is the gold standard for treament, these medications, along with others, can make a significnat improvemment in the quality of life for those with obesity.

I’m thankful for democracy.

It’s the end of the day and not one comment about over-processed foods.
