So far, fear has driven investors to sell consumer-exposed stocks. A basket of such companies — including Oreo cookies maker Mondelez International Inc. and Modelo beer producer Constellation Brand Inc. — is down nearly 9% since early August with losses roughly double those of the S&P 500 Index, while makers of things like insulin pumps have wiped out close to a third of their value over the same stretch amid concerns that fewer people will need their products.

Ozempic type of treatments are extremely effective. Not only does it cause weight loss but it causes drastic reduction in appetite.

eh, with most weight gain it happens over a long period of time. If one gains like 5lbs/yr after 20 years that's 100lbs. A short term solution might help reduce weight to a place where they can learn to stabilize their weight.
