I&#x27;m sure human&#x27;s &quot;biology&quot; has changed over the last 50 years. Those skinny doufusses from the 70&#x27;s with their intake restriction diets had it all wrong. &#x2F;s<p>Let&#x27;s face it. You&#x27;ve been hacked by big agrofood, and if you consume less they will up their game.

The distinction isn&#x27;t as clear as the headline suggests. Willpower itself is also biologic, in many senses. Including the sense that it has a large genetic component contributing to it.

I bet there is now a massive battle for who manages to break through the &quot;Wegovy wall&quot; and unlock appetite back, among the food processers...
