One in ten Americans is now casually poking themselves with GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro — not just to ditch carbs, but to fight heart disease, dementia, and even addiction. Experts warn, 'We are entering the Ozempic era,' but also caution about unknown 20- or 30-year effects. While some claim these meds zap junk food cravings—hello, baked beans obsession!—others wonder if suppressing desire might turn us into 'emotionless robots.'
