Don't know if pills are behind it or not, but just as a matter of observation, around the neighborhood area where I live, in just the past few years it seems I've been seeing a lot more people out walking or jogging, cycling, pushing baby strollers, walking their dogs, etc. I mean, just a lot more activity going on. Younger people as well as older.

Mine is the same way too. Even when we go to the park, I think he spends more time sniffing the perimeter of the park than he does playing with the other dogs or doing his rounds to greet all the hoomans.
Sniffing is good for their brains!

There's also "Healthy Wager" which pays people to lose weight. That's a good motivator for some.
Also, GLP-1 meds are great because they can often jumpstart people into action as they learn proper portion sizes. They're starting to use these meds because they've been shown to have cardiac benefits among other health benefits. I think they're great, especially after years of encouraging people to be overweight, thinking there are no health-related problems to carrying so much extra fat.
