I was wondering when the other shoe would drop.

These drugs are turning into a band-aid on the fact that it's more profitable to sell addictive, high-calorie foods in the US than foods that promote long-term health.

We'll decay people's heart muscles before we put a tax on unhealthy food to help fund Medicare and Medicaid.

What I don't understand about these drugs is:

Ok, you are taking the medicine to lose weight, but are you eating the same shit as before in the process?

The answer is always "pfft no, I am going to eat healthier"

So why don't you just eat healthier now?

"addictive" is an active word in the sentence you quoted.
