The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has reminded healthcare professionals about the side effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and declared them effective but carrying risks. The House of Lords food, diet, and obesity committee declared a public health emergency on obesity, recommending a tax on junk food and advocating for responsible use of weight loss drugs like semaglutide. They also proposed banning junk food ads and implementing a comprehensive legislative framework to tackle obesity. Dr. Sheena Meredith, a medical writer, editor, and consultant, supports these measures and advocates for prioritizing public health over business interests in discussions on food, diet, and obesity prevention.
