How Ozempic Changed Food Forever... And the Pill Is Next

How Ozempic Changed Food Forever... And the Pill Is Next The Uncomfortable Truth About Big Food and the Weight-Loss Pill Ozempic already changed how America eats. Now there's a pill starting at $149 a month, and it's coming for your snack aisle. One American home in five has someone on these drugs, and those homes buy about 10% less chips and sweets. So why are PepsiCo, Conagra and Hershey not panicking? Because they're already redesigning the aisle for the people on the pill.

Mondelez, Piper Sandler and EY-Parthenon figures are forecasts. LesserEvil's ~$750 million is a reported price (terms were not disclosed). Market values: early Nov. 2026.
