I agree with you in principle, but, at the same time, Americans are fat as frick. And I have little hope that greater than 5% of Americans are going to do anything to improve their diets. Maybe you are anticipating a wave of healthy eating and personal accountability but I am not so optimistic.
As cold as it may sound, IMO, all these new weight loss drugs are dependent on cost/benefit. Do the potential benefits of these drugs in regards to money saved on treating chronic diseases caused by obesity outweigh the side-effects?
Americans aren't going to change their lifestyles. That's on them. Will these drugs help curb the ridiculous amounts of money spent on healthcare for fat people? I don't know, but if so they should put it in the tap water.

Perpetual reliance on the drug isn't the answer. Since they do not change their lifestyle, they will have to stay on the drug 24/7 or just become a huge fat-arse again.

Some may rely on it because they will always be lazy. Others might actually decide to change their lifestyle because they haven't been this skinny in their entire adult life. Keeping everyone fat doesn't exactly solve anything either. At least this helps everyone to potentially push them into a new life they used to know or never knew.
