View submission: Does Slimming World make sense?

View parent comment

I’m not saying slimming world does work. In fact everything I’ve heard about it makes it sound absolutely shite. But its failings are obviously not because curing obesity is a “bad business model”. *Of course* that’s not the case.

The reason Novo Nordisk skyrocketed to the becoming the most valuable company in Europe is precisely because ozempic actually works. Effective weight loss is never going to be a bad business model.

If they could permanently cure someone of obesity in two weeks they’d be the richest company in the uk within a year

But that's the point, they can't, nobody can, not even Ozempic, so they go with the repeat business model.
