“I too agree that we should have more innovators in this country, I just want to have a hard cap of $999m on returns” is a different way of saying “we should not have more innovators until we figure out how to reengineer human nature.”

This is accurate, in a way. If doctors were trained in nutrition, they’d know that research has shown that even w/intensive weekly counseling & supervised diet/exercise, mean weight loss settles at -5% of starting weight, so they’d prescribe GLP-1RAs and achieve 90% prevention.

My favorite prompt for getting to the bottom of any nutritional ““science”” claim: “is this observational epidemiology, or is it actual science?”
