Did you see that Procter & Gamble is buying the vitamin company Thorne for $3.8 billion?
Its reason for buying it is to expand its presence in premium, personalized health and “Medicine 3.0,” so they say.
The real reason for buying it: GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy) frequently cause rapid weight loss that includes a substantial loss of lean muscle mass, as well as gastrointestinal side effects. Supplement companies are rushing to capture this market. For instance, Thorne’s core portfolio—which features premium whey protein, amino acids, creatine, and gut health probiotics—perfectly aligns with what doctors recommend to prevent muscle wasting and support digestion while on these drugs.
So, Big Food has manipulated society into eating unhealthy foods with all the advertising and manipulative tactics.
Everyone eats crap, becomes obese, gets sick and diseased, and ends up on medication.
The pharmaceutical companies create a drug which forces people to stop eating food by stopping digestion, which causes a slew of other problems. Then, instead of the doctors saying, “YOU NEED TO EAT WELL AND EXERCISE,” they just tell them to take the shot instead of actually putting some effort into fixing the problem.
Then the doctors tell the emaciated, muscleless patients to start taking handfuls of vitamins to counteract the side effects of the GLP instead of just saying, “You need to eat well, period—no ifs, ands, or buts about it.” And then the pharmaceutical companies just buy up the vitamin companies so as to capitalize on the misfortune of the people—misfortune which they created in the first place.
“Everyone is a fuckin’ puppet, and that’s exactly how they want us—like we just wheeled ourselves out of a concentration camp, holding our shit-filled colostomy bags, hooked up to an oxygen tank on the back of the chair, still eating shit, taking the shot, and not exercising. But as long as we take our vitamins!”
