Oprah Winfrey's Candid Journey: Confronting Weight Stigma and Embracing Change

Oprah Winfrey's new ABC special promotes the use of expensive weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound, while also addressing fat stigma as a disease akin to alcoholism. However, her endorsement of weight loss drugs is met with skepticism due to their high price point, potential long-term effects, and her history of endorsing junk science. The special's message is appealing, but it's unclear if there's any financial incentive for Winfrey to endorse weight loss drugs, given her past involvement with WeightWatchers.
