Excellent read. I agree with you👍👍👍 I'm still rofling at the govt trying to do Feng Shui in Asda. "No no no you can't put the KitKats under that stairway, Suella, that's Heaven Chop!"

I follow your point and think this drug should be available in the UK but isn’t the problem all the ‘nice foods’ are high calories and it’s easy to over eat without being careful?

It would be great if we could get the same taste and enjoyment with less calories. You go out for a steak dinner and with wine and dessert you are at 2500 calories easily- a man’s RDA. Surely science should look at how we reduce calories in food and not just look at putting less in through hunger suppression?

What do you think?

I absolutely agree, we should be encouraging as much innovation in these areas as possible. It's really cool that this stuff seems on the cusp of possibility - I'm particularly excited about lab grown meat. Our food is on the verge of becoming a lot more creative!

Surprising I’ve seen more calories per 100g in a lot of the current plant based meats than their low fat meat alternatives.

Also I think we need to see low calorie beer... that’ll fix it...

Yes, plant based 'meat' is total snake oil. I'm much more excited about real meat grown in labs from cultures of real animals - the biggest game changer in food since artificial fertilisers. And yes, low calorie beer is of paramount importance!
