HOW OZEMPIC MAY AFFECT THE FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY
It’s in the news right now: will weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy cause a major ripple effect on the food service and restaurant industry? Wal-Mart’s CEO seems to think so. Industry expert and consultant Brian Hutton joins us to unpack the layered implications.

Hutton believes that while the short-term impacts may not trigger an industry-wide quake, the long-term behavioral shifts remain a wild card. We also navigate the shifting sands of food service trends, such as the decline of the all-you-can-eat buffet and the rise of health-conscious dining.
And it’s not all salads and sunshine; we tackle the pros and cons of pharmaceutical intervention for weight loss, from the promise of reducing the need for joint replacements to the cautionary tales of health risks and overexertion injuries. With a nuanced look at knowns, known unknowns, and those ever-intriguing “unknown unknowns,” this BONUS episode is a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of food and pharma.
