Asking Eric: My friend group regularly meets for dinner to catch up. GLP-1 use is complicating that.

GLP-1 use is complicating a friend group's regular dinner tradition, transforming their catch-up meetings into a rushed experience. Because many members are on weight-loss drugs, eating has become a race, often influenced by waitresses noticing when others finish. Despite attempts to pivot the group's activities toward craft classes or walks, these alternatives have failed to work out. The shift in appetite caused by GLP-1 has fundamentally altered the dynamic of their beloved dinner club.
