00:00What if losing weight also meant slashing your grocery bill?
00:03Ozempic isn't just changing waistlines, it's changing how America eats and spends.
00:08A new Cornell University study shows people using weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are spending less on food.
00:15And not just a little. Grocery bills drop by over 5% on average within six months.
00:20For wealthier households, that number jumps to over 8%.
00:24And it's not just groceries.
00:26Fast food, coffee shops and takeout also see spending dip by around 8%.
00:31Why?
00:32These GLP-1 drugs don't just suppress appetite, they reshape cravings.
00:37Sales of chips, cookies and snacks take the biggest hit.
00:41Even essentials like meat and bread see declines.
00:44But not all foods are falling.
00:46Spending increases slightly on yogurt, fruit and protein bars.
00:50Healthier, high nutrition options.
00:52The trend is lasting too.
00:54Households that stay on the medication keep spending less for over a year.
00:58That's got massive implications for food companies, restaurants and even public health policies.
01:03Could a pill change the way an entire country eats?
01:06We may be watching it happen in real time.
01:09Ozempic might just be shrinking more than bodies.
01:12It's shrinking the business of food itself.
01:14Thanks to everyone.
01:19To all select foods and Onters.
01:21We may be taking another sip pressure from the EU and pre mae.
01:23I try to,
