Show Notes
Oprah Winfrey talked about her lifelong struggles with weight gain and yoyo dieting, and her GLP-1 journey. She insists she has an “obesity gene.” Health experts weigh in on her theory that obesity is predetermined by genetics. Spoiler: It has never been proven. “You don’t overeat and become obese; obesity causes you to overeat,” Oprah explained to the dimwits of “The View.” She’s framing obesity as a disease that must be treated, which is handy, seeing as she owns a minority stake in Weight Watchers, which now sells GLP-1s. Is Oprah selling surrender as science? Health and nutrition experts seem to think so. Wegovy now comes in a pill form, and the weightloss company is projected to make $1 billion over the next year. Also, shark attacks are making a comeback in Southern California.
