Welcome to the Ozempic economy. The weightless drugs have become something of a buzzword, with everyone seemingly discussing who is taking it, why and whether or not they, themselves might need it. In just over a year, the percentage of U.S. adults taking drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound more than doubled to 12.4%, according to Gallup.

That’s seemingly good for people’s health, but causing serious concerns in multiple sectors of the economy. The Washington Post reports that industry insiders are gearing up for weight-loss drugs to shake up the consumer economy as they seep into every sector—including apparel, restaurants, grocery, gyms and travel. They are causing a “psychological shift” for the people taking them, said Ali Furman, a partner in PwC’s U.S. consumer markets division. As their bodies change, she said, so are their decisions on how to spend their time and money.

For instance, since the drugs come with some uncomfortable or harmful side effects, including indigestion, nausea and loss of hair and muscle mass, sales for supplements and vitamin-rich beauty products have surged. And with the elimination of “food noise”, which can lead to bingeing and distracting thoughts about eating, GLP-1 users are cutting back on snacks and spending more on healthy items. People on the meds have reported craving a crunchy carrot and tart kiwi over a salty chip.

As they lose weight, they’re interested in shelling out for new clothes, of course. But as the cost of food rises, people on the medication (and even those who aren’t taking them) are suddenly put off by the price. According to recent reports, Americans are now ordering smaller pizzas with fewer toppings. Look, I’m all for people getting healthier, but let’s not take it out on our pizzas.

There’s a “good chance” for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, President Donald Trump said Monday, but his negotiators have hard work ahead—they now head to the Kremlin and still need to iron out key details with Kyiv. America’s special envoy Steve Witkoff is set to travel to Moscow to meet with Putin today, the Kremlin said, after what the United States described as “very productive” talks Sunday with Ukraine.

According to NBC News, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was rallying European support in Paris, though he cautioned that some “tough issues” still have to be worked out with Washington. One of the most “problematic aspects” of the original 28-point U.S. peace proposal was the stipulation for Ukraine to formally renounce its aspiration, enshrined in its constitution, to join NATO—a key Russian demand to end the war and something Ukrainian officials continue to reject.

However, a CNN source says negotiators have discussed a possible scenario in which Ukraine would effectively be barred from joining the U.S.-led Western military alliance via arrangements that would have to be negotiated directly between NATO member states and Moscow. But as negotiators try to hammer out a peace deal, the troops also believe that Russia remains determined to conquer Ukraine—either now, or with a fresh army in a few years’ time—no matter what kind of agreement is reached.

Were your Thanksgiving travel plans hampered by bad weather? Because fresh off the holiday weekend delays and disruptions, a new winter storm slammed much of the north-east United States with rain, ice and heavy snow overnight and is continuing into this morning, forecasters have said, with millions of Americans under winter storm advisories.

The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories along the East Coast. The heaviest snowfall is expected from the Poconos to eastern Maine, which could receive five to 10 inches of snow between Monday night and Tuesday night. Areas of New England with higher elevation could see over a foot of snow.

According to CNN, the third winter storm in a week has already dumped plenty of snow and ice on parts of the central U.S. and will strengthen rapidly into a bomb cyclone as it moves up the East Coast today, with winds intensifying in coastal New England Tuesday night. Cities such as Philadelphia, New York and Boston along the Northeast’s highly populous I-95 corridor are likely to miss out on big snow, but could see flakes fly in the morning. Areas from southwestern North Carolina through western Virginia and into western Maryland were expecting at least a quarter-inch of ice. Be careful out there!
