Seems like a positive move, but I wonder if reformulations might be undertaken to disguise the addition of GLP-1 optimized ingredients. This issue is not getting enough attention.
For those who don’t know, “Big Food” has seen an economic downturn as people turn to GLP-1 agonists to lose weight, thereby consuming less food. They have turned to ingredient manufacturers and suppliers for additives that would bypass the appetite suppressing effects of drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro. They’re just fighting back against Big Pharma, right? WRONG… This is another assault on our bodies. GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone, with many different functions, affecting several processes in our bodies. What happens to those processes when a substance that would override the effects of GLP-1 agonists is added to the food supply? Everyone, even those not on fad medications will be hungrier, have more cravings, consume more, and inevitably, we’ll become a fatter, sicker, society.
That isn’t even the worst part… Food manufacturers are under no obligation to disclose the addition of these ingredients, much less their intended purpose. Ingredient suppliers are not required to provide details of the companies that they are working with or what substance has been added to which raw material.
Looking for more information on this? Good luck… Information on this issue is hard to come by and shrouded in secrecy. If you’re determined (and lucky), you might stumble upon a recording of an investor call where it was openly discussed or, perhaps, a video of a top executive, bragging at a conference seminar that they had found a solution to strike back at the pharmaceutical companies.
We need to demand, at the very least, that manufacturers be forced to disclose the use of these ingredients. Better yet, let’s get these poisons banned from our food supply.
