We live in this "microwave society" where we want everything to be fast and easy. Pharmaceutical drugs offer that. Now, the diet craze drug is GLP category as it is causing some temporary weight loss, but does it cause a lifestyle change? No, it does not. Please recall that the FDA has approved other diet drugs in the past, such as Redux, Phen-Fen and Meridia only to later take them back off the market because THEY ARE DANGEROUS.
