Christopher Snowdon: the truth about Ozempic, obesity & the NHS

from Reality Check

Lifestyle economist Christopher Snowdon joins Michael Simmons to explore how weight-loss drugs like Ozempic could reshape health, policy and the economy. From the WHO’s call for mass production to flawed obesity cost estimates, failing ‘nanny state’ interventions and the future of food companies, Snowden argues that these drugs are a genuine game-changer — and warns that much of current public health thinking is fast becoming obsolete.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
