Also respectfully, there’s a lot of things that compound leading to obesity, we (as a generalisation) seem to historically treat it as if it’s a some sort of personal failure rather than a condition. Would you have the same concerns about smoking or alcohol cessation drugs (which afaik ozempic actually does help with the latter)? Food addiction is a thing and we have poor mental health support. The people I know on ozempic talk about it being a life changer for them (which I understand, vyvanse did the same thing for me) if only to help shake their addiction to enable them to make lifestyle changes.


And even for fresh water, you have biofouling to worry about and what to do with the water after you’ve used it, can’t just dump it into the environment untreated.
