“Join us in the fight for a healthier America.”

That’s the last line of the ad from hims and hers for their weight loss drugs during the Super Bowl. It’s an ad that provoked so much outrage that Good Morning America took note. NB: The GMA piece doesn’t mention the racialized aspects of the commercial AT ALL…just the missing safety information. (The hims/hers drug is a compounded semaglutide, which does not have to undergo rigorous FDA approval.)
