I wonder how long it'll be before there's a class action lawsuit against WW for their decades of selling an unsustainable diet as THE answer to weight problems.

It sounds like they're trying to do damage control by switching to drug based adherence to their diet, rebranding overweight as a medical condition that can only be treated with drugs - absolving themselves of any responsibility for the shame and blame they put women through at those meetings by trotting out "we were wrong, we just didn't know it wasn't your fault and was actually a disease"

(What happens when the weight loss drugs have similar - or far WORSE problems - will WW just point to the drug mfgs and deny any responsibility again?)
