Remember when Pringles said they weren't potato-y enough to pay UK's value-added tax? nytimes.com/2009/06/01/opi… Or when Subway failed to get tax-exempt in Ireland bc its bread wasn't bread-y enough? npr.org/2020/10/01/919… #BigFood's purpose isn't to feed people. It's to make $.

You don't often see Kevin Hall & Dr. David Ludwig on the same paper so when I do, you better believe it's #1 on the reading list. nature.com/articles/s4225… Very thorough synthesis of CIM and EBM. One piece I disagree with is the false dichotomy re: management. Do both. #obesity

Retatrutide shows impressive reductions in ApoB and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins! Excited to see the potential for multifactorial cardiovascular risk reduction with these agents. #ESCCongress
