COLUMBUS, Ohio – Taking anti-obesity drugs has led some U.S. adults to throw away more food than they tossed before starting the medications, a new study has found. In a survey of people currently on GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, 25% of respondents agreed they had wasted more food since taking the drugs, compared to 61% who disagreed. People who were nauseated by the drugs were more likely to report increased food waste.
