With more and more weight loss pills and products hitting the shelves and big pharm companies like pfizer jumping on board, the obesity problem might start to take a different turn in the not so distant future. Since health experts are now ranking obesity on the list of America's most pressing health concerns I have a feeling that someone is going to start demanding that weight loss treatments be included in insurance plans. I'd predict that within the next 5 years we'll see a few very expensive medications that are reasonably effective at taking off the pounds. All that would be left to happen would be for some doctor to call it a 'cure' for obesity and then we'll all be footing the bill.
