Sales are down in sweet baked goods and snacks, and the industry is weathering a downturn.

They might just have to be happy making healthy food available

But they are concerned they are losing their addicts. Trying to engineer addictive food specifically for glp1 patients seems kinda evil. Like the drug dealer giving away free hits to people trying to get clean

Larry Wynns is now buying mainly fruits and vegetables, he still turns to Healthy Choice frozen meals in a pinch

These patients really need to be shown the value of whole food diets in preserving their muscle mass and avoiding triggers.

Not kinda evil, it's completely evil!
