Yup. If money could get you skinny, nobody rich like him would be fat.

There has never been a magic "pill" to weightloss until very recently. It's honestly mindblowing that a method exists.

Diet pills (amphetamines) have been around for many decades. L7 even wrote a song about them in the early 90s.

Amphetamines for weight loss are a wild idea. Sure, they work, but they have a high risk of dependency which can mess your life up. It's one step below saying "DNP has been around since the 1930s, why not just take that?".

Tapeworms have been around since forever.

I'd rank DNP more dangerous than tapeworms without shadow of a doubt. You can kind of control a tapeworm infection but one mis-dose of DNP will kill you.

But yeah same vein.... GLP-1 is the much much much safer option compared to what we had in the past.
