    I think this is a wonderful thing,

    Considering there’s healthier ways to lose weight,

    Cheaper ways,

    And overall just BETTER ways.

    Also note, they were originally made to be DIABETES meds.

      Your moral judgment of this drug doesn’t make companies choosing to spend less on employee health a “wonderful thing”

      What a display of ignorance. You assume this is just a problem with will power. Have you ever thought it could be related to genetics or hormonal issues?

      Are you not aware of the other benefits that have been discovered and are not related to weight loss? Evidence that it helps with arthritis, kidney and heart disease. It appears to also help with addiction like alcohol and nicotine. There are plenty of reasons to make this available to anyone who needs it. It can mean the difference in living a healthier and more productive life for people suffering from other problems and not obesity.

      Disclaimer: Never used GLP-1.

    Just ask your doctor where a compounding pharmacy is.

    It's wayyy cheaper then even the coupon discount the company's giving you.
