Only the wealthy can afford to use that stuff. I did a check of the price for Mounjaro... it runs around $1100 per 2ml dose.

Yeah, that means around 90% of the population cannot afford it. Yes, some insurance covers that. The insurance that would cover such thing is also out of reach for most of us.

Yet, they are still making 'fake' foods, and stuffing the foods we have with crap that is making us sicker. Of course, we won't do anything about that, now will we?
