    A healthy body needs fat. As long as you are healthy, you can have fat. The amount and thresholds can vary strongly from person to person.

      I’d bet the comment was referring to obesity and not just a healthy amount of fat

      I agree, but if we look at the CDC: Percent of adults age 20 and older with overweight, including obesity: 72.4% (August 2021-August 2023)

      72 point freakin’ 4 percent.

      With numbers like that, obesity is more like an epedemic and ozempic is a potential treatment.
