3. Rubyfalkxo: who's actually monitoring the long-term effects here?
4. Sharmaamir: shouldn't be surprising given all the ads for this stuff on TV lately
5. Zero Rune: GLP-1s for kids? sounds like another cash cow for Big Pharma
6. Liamnilsson: you'd think doctors would prescribe actual lifestyle changes before medication
7. Luna: this is pretty scary - what's causing these reckless prescriptions?
8. Noel: yeah but how many kids actually needed those meds versus just being handed them
