I mean, with Ozempic and Wegovy, maybe it is quicker, but these are not the solution. The solution is not to become obese and then take a drug to reduce the obesity. It is not to become obese in the first place, but your point is critical. Right now, a 3-year-old has a lower life expectancy than a 60-year- old had at the same age. That is because our adults are getting these chronic diseases at an increasing rate. That 3-year-old, if we don't change the trajectory, will have much less of a chance to live to the same age as their grandfather did or their father did. We cannot accept that in America. We are actually in a situation where our children have a lower life expectancy than us. This is the opposite of everything anybody does anything for. As a father, you want to do everything for your children so they have it better than you. We are kind of intentionally, because we are intentional in how we spend dollars, forcing our children to a lower, shorter life expectancy than we have. Shame on us if we don't fix this.
