- Over the last 25 years, obesity has gotten worse and worse across the globe, specifically in North America. Fast food consumption is at an all-time-high, and this is no mistake. Companies like McDonald's and Burger King have designed a system to get you hooked, starting at a young age, and keep you hooked forever. Let me tell you about fast food - the addiction created by design.

Your body will be craving the good nutrients it needs? Any evidence for this? What is the mechanism for this? I have always thought it was more related to speed of digestion (gastrocolic reflex, lack of fiber), high refinement (glycemics), and acclimation.
My parents kept me off fast food when I was young, so i had my first taste of it when I was a teenager. When I tasted it and felt the dopamine, my first thought was "oh, so this is why so many people get hooked. I wont let this happen to me." So note to parents out there, do not let your children try fast food without explaining to them what it does to you first.
Different experience of never trying fast food here, I literally have McDonald's twice a week now, just let your kids have treats on occasion, definitely not all the time, or never
I had McDonals twice at a childrens birthday and it tasted poisenous. And these JunkFood franchises STINK.
I don't think anyone who doesn't eat that trash from early childhood likes it.
I am 21 and still only eat homecooked meals. Most restaurants use convenience meals instead of cooking real food in their kitchen, even tve pricy ones. Totally not worth it.
I have an idea, order a McDonalds meal for your Child but then add a tones of bitter seasoning to it so they dont like it
@@CordeliaWagnernope, I agree with the original post.
Bad take on the topic. @@catfacethemole9551
I quit soda 5 years ago and now anytime i have a sip of it all i can taste is chemicals and artificial flavor
I’m truly addicted to soda and fast food. I had a relapse after 2 months. Fast food is so expensive it’s about $16 for a combo
limit your intake slowly and then go from there, you got this. Replace your soda with drinks like LemonPerfect or other non sugar and non alters like lemon water or natural fruit juices but moderation is key
Water is king of soft drinks@@757Princess
İ literally typed this while wearing my shoes on my way to get a coke. We truly live in a society
This will sound crazy, but I’m not standing sodas. I cant even drink sparkling water and the thought that soda is the same thing but with a ton of sugar just makes my stomach hurt. So my “peaky eater” nature did something helpful at last
I grew up on restaurant food and food cooked at home. Fast food was a treat for us kids. It wasn't an every day thing.
Same here.
I would always get excited when I get a burger from McDonalds because we rarely eat at McDonalds. It felt like a treat for me
Isn't it funny that complete garbage and unhealthy food is considered a treat.
Same..... but back when I was young, fast food was healthier.... of course home food was far far more nutritious... garden veg etc
I'm 59. I grew up in the 70's and 80's. Places like Burger King, McDonalds, Taco Bell and KFC, were OCCAISIONAL indulgences, not places that you went to on a regular basis. These foods are fine in moderation but the rest of the time, I balance it out with home cooked foods like roasted chicken, fish, fruits, salads and vegetables. As a former athlete, I've learned to make sure that you keep your diet in balance. I live in Philly, the home of Cheese steaks and hoagies. When I get a craving for these things, I have one but limit it to once a month. Same thing with pizza, or dessert .On July 4th, I'll treat myself to a Texas Tommy ; basically a hot dog covered in bacon and cheese, or a chili dog; but I have that only on the holiday. There are ways to enjoy these guilty pleasures and not do major damage to your health but it requires discipline. Another option, would be to try and replicate your fast food favorites at home. TH-cam has recipes that re-create Taco Bell, Chickfil-A, McDonalds and other favorite menu items. When I worked at McDonalds, I discovered that their "special sauce" for the Big Mac, is a variation of Thousand Island dressing. Get back into the kitchen and have fun with developing your own spin on these menu items. Not only will you be healthier, but spending time making meals with friends or loved ones, creates memories that will be healthy for you emotionally as well.
I aint reading allat
Great advice! I’m getting serious about improving my diet and lifestyle, as well as budgeting, and finding them to be similar. It’s all about setting limits on yourself, which was difficult for me when I wasn’t seeing any real consequences.
You are underrated
I appreciate that a lot :)
He is bashing them-that's what matters 👍
No u
Fast food companies payin youtube to hide this from the algorithm
I’m actually done eating fast food and soft drink. It’s just unhealthy. I’m 30 years old and these fast foods are not for me anymore. But i do afraid of Fast food industries will screw young generation health in the future
Already has screwing with my genarations
the younger generations can't afford it either. 11 dollars for a small meal isn't worth it anymore when i can buy chicken vegetables and rice for the same price and it'll last all week.
Wake up America n thè rest of the world, u being screwed " WAKE UP" !!!
damn bro u make me realize everything in this society icl. u made me quit vaping, and cut down on fast food and social media.
I’m really glad I could help :)
When I was a child we almost never ate fast food. I used to get upset when my parents made me eat fast food. I would tell them this is not real food.
Sure. As if that ever happened. Kids wouldnt turn down nuggets. 😂
We put a McDonald’s cheeseburger on the counter and left it there for a week. Nothing happened, bacteria didn’t even want it.
How does this have no likes or comments 😂😂
@@joemamaa4505 We did this as an experiment, it was frightening.
Dude, your content is amazing, I was watching random videos while doing something else, and as a was watching, I was like "Seems like a pretty cool video, I think a lot of people would agree". But once I saw your likes and subs I was shocked. Your content is the same quality as somebody with a full team of editors, and 5 million subs. I am surprised you aren't famous yet. I love your content, and I cant wait to see how far you go!
Danggg thank you so much for saying that - that's so kind :)
Bro hop off the glizzy. Damn
The Mcstomach™ ache is a real thing.
I adopted the carnivore diet last year and began exercising daily.
No soda, candy, fast food, or junk food.
Went from 200 to 150 lb and I've got a 6 pack.
Never been happier and I don't have brain fog.
Also I do not drink alcohol either
I mainly eat steak (I try for grass fed exclusively), cage free eggs, and thick cut bacon.
No seed oils
💪
Bacon is the unhealthiest food on the planet apparently. Sorry to tell you.
I think I’d like to try this out but with vegetables and fruits because I couldn’t go a day without them
1k views?!?!?!? ONLY? He is one of the best essay TH-camr EVER!!! How does he not have tons of views?!?!? TH-cam is wild ngl😂, love ur stuff bro!
I really appreciate that so much! :)
Hey Ben, I’m absolutely gobsmacked you’ve only got 60k subs, this is quality content god damn. Keep building up your back catalog with quality and when you get the recognition you deserve the algorithm will fucking shoot you to space
It happens out of nowhere, keep up the good work!
As I was watching this video TH-cam suddenly interrupted it with an ad for KFC 😂😅
I was hooked last year bad on fast food. I was 195 last year and I felt like pure shit. Now I'm 148 baby! WOOOOOOOO! GYM AND DIET BABY! I feel 10 years younger. Btw I'm 28
Congrats❤
@@MsButterflyJan1976 thank you 😊🙏
What kinds of things do you eat now on an average day, and did you just go cold Turkey on the junk food?
@@Keeks4 My average day of eating I would say I eat more protein like nuts or dark chocolate or Peanut butter type of foods for a snacks. I also stopped eating Breakfast, but if I feel like eating it its usually something small and healthy like a banana or Oatmeal. I don't eat breakfast for the most part though. I like to drink a lot of water threw out the day! I say water is what helped me lose weight the fastest. Drink 1 gallon a water everday! Chicken anything, turkey anything, whole wheat anything, fish usually Baked and not fried. (Try not to eat fried anything) salads with low calorie dressing usually also with cheese and onions and whole wheat croutons on it. If I eat chips or something like that it's usually veggie chips. Also I excise a good bit. That's literally what help me lose weight the most! My diet but, Every blue moon I'll eat junk food like ice cream, chips, fast food but that rarely. 👌 this diet and working out change my life. Hope this help
As someone who was nearly pushing 350 sophomore year of highschool due to low activity and a nearly uncontrollable fast food addiction, I am always happy to see more influencers addressing these types of issues! Proud to say im 22 at about 235 and still going!
Subbed
Very nice! That's awesome dude!! Thanks a bunch for the support
currently im already avoiding fast food but this is great stuff to know about to help me not eat much of it. mad underrated bro im glad i found this video
This is the best and most concise video I’ve seen on this topic, straight to the point.
I don't tend to comment on videos but I'm honestly shocked that content this well produced has only two thousand views. Keep up the good work!
I only comment when the quality is extraordinary!
That makes this video and it's creator so very special! Thank you!
This was great man! one of my favorite videos of yours. Love this direction more and more!
What always creeps me out is when people comment on videos about TrashFood:
"My best childhood memories are when my poor as could be parents took me to a JunkFood franchise!"
Creepy because that creates a very high level if addiction and it shows the parents had very questionable values.
Creepy that we live in a culture were some people rather spend money on making billionaires richer than creating experiences of value for the child.
I am lucky, my family is against JunkFood and I learned how to cook healthy meals. My parents rather spend their money on activities like outdoor museum and zoos and toy exhibitions than making me an addict of stuff tvat causes cancer.
This will be viral. Great work Ben! 🔥
Thanks bro!!
This channel is so high quality. I'm surprised this does have more views.
Appreciate that!!
I watched a video that said the Supersize guy was a crock. Apparently, he was an alcoholic and the damage to his liver was due to that, not the food. I'm not defending McGarbage, just saying.
Super engaging and your narration was excellent. good work!
we covered food deserts and swamps in environmental health class (MPH student), so that boosted your credibility even more for me.
well well done!
also i'm living away from family and share the kitchen with a territorial old lady which -esp. during finals week- has led me to make incredibly poor diet choices. i'm talking 4-5 takeouts/week for close to a month now. (if not longer).
its super upsetting to me i hate how it makes me feel especially as a medical professional :')
this has motivated me to delete my app and just go down the street to grab legumes or veggies which i love but hate bringing back cus the lady gives me eyes .-.
thanks again, Ben.
Very glad it helped motivate! Really appreciate you watching :)
This video is so underrated and its messed up that fast food companies are doing this to people when they are eating their food and great video Ben Farr :]
Appreciate you watching :)
I just saw your video on vaping and started checking out your other vids. The content is super interesting and structured well too- keep up the good work! 🌟
Thanks so much :)
i’m so glad i never liked soda as a kid because the carbonation hurt my throat. Now, if I take a sip of it all i taste is chemicals and artificial flavors.
I get why fast food is so popular, but in my personal experience it tanks your energy like NOTHING else cuz your body puts 100% of its energy into digestion
My guy, I just found you and I love you! Keep up the great work!
One thing underrated:their harmful packages and cups.Its especially toxic if you order something hot-like coffee or tea.Its disgusting seeing them running like cattle to these junk food restaurants to buy something that's literally garbage. When i ride on my bike pass a McDonald's or KFC or whatever i spit in their direction."you won't get MY health,you damn,greedy crooks" is what i say to myself.
I barely eat fast food anymore like once a month but ive cut out alot no sodas either
I'm trying to stop drinking soda or cut back😓 I drink a lot of water too but I always double up on the soda
@ladylady7848 u won't miss it after a couple of months but those first 3-6 months are gonna be tough but it does help if you already drink water tho you got it tho!!
The only way I'll ever eat McDonald's again is if I ever travel to France, where they have to obey that country's food laws.
I would also eat McDonald's if I had a time machine to go back to the 70s and earlier. 😅
Whole Foods charges DOUBLE the price of everyone else, not 10% to 20% more
I enjoyed this video! As a person working in marketing I learned a the concept within marketing called the buyers journey which consist of Awareness, Consideration, Decision. It becomes a consistent cycle to guide the customers to choose your business everytime.
Danggg this was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it brotha!!
9:01 That's the reason why you see TONS of fast food coupons/deals in early January.. look for it this next year, you'll notice!
thank you - i am an adult male 5'11" tall. I should weigh between 155 and 190, but have only ever been at 145. i have trouble finding pants that will fit me without falling down. Now I know what to do - eat way more fast food so i can gain weight. So glad I saw this video.
I feel the same way about fast food as I feel about "The Jab": THERE'S NO WAY I'M PUTTING THAT IN MY BODY.
Really loved this video!!
Crazy how most of the countries ban weed while letting these fast food chain to thrive with little control. Fast food abused would cause heart attack while there is no case of any person died cause of weed
If know more about the history of weed it makes sense, weed wasn't illegal for the health of the public. It was more about money, control and and segregation.
True
Having to go a mile to the grocery store doesn't put you in a "desert" of food, that's the stupidest thing i heard in a while
Excellent video and a topic that only RFK Jr. is speaking out about. Obesity is an epidemic and all this processed junk food and fast food is at the core of the problem. We subsidize farmers to grow (and not grow) corn, wheat and soybeans. This drives down input costs for processed food companies and thus they maximize the use of the least expensive inputs. So we have highly processed foods full of white flour and corn syrup etc. I consume only unprocessed foods and power walk everyday. I feel great!
oNE OF THE MOST UNDEREATED yt OUT THERE
Dude thank you that's so kind :)
I used to eat fast food two or three times a week until I realized how much I was spending on it. It takes a bare minimum of $15, often closer to $20 and sometimes more, to get enough food to fill me up at any fast food place nowadays. When I saw a bank statement earlier this summer and counted $259 in fast food expenses for a single month, I decided I was going to start eating at home whenever I could help it. Lately I've only been getting fast food about twice a month. My bank account is starting to recover but it is going to take months.
Fast food prices have been creeping up little by little over the past 20 years or so, to the point where they have at least doubled with consumers hardly noticing. I'm like the proverbial frog who just now realizes that he is being boiled alive. Remember Subway's $5 footlong? It seems like you were seeing ads for it just a few years ago, but on my last visit to Subway about a week ago, the cheapest footlong they had was well over $10. Likewise, McDonald's "Dollar Menu" has become fast food history. It has really gotten out of hand, I could barely pay my bills back in June and was forced to start living frugally. Going to any fast food outlet now feels like splurging. It isn't much of a stretch to say that Taco Bell will be considered an upscale restaurant in the future, just like in Demolition Man.
And as prices skyrocket, the sizes of some of the food items seem to be doing just the opposite. At the aforementioned Subway, the sub I got felt noticeably smaller than how I remember a footlong sub. The bun felt more like a hot dog bun. My sub was $17 and this was such a huge ripoff. It seems as if the practice of shrinkflation has now extended to fast food as well. Will not be going back to Subway any time soon.
A calorie doesn't equal to the calorie. The same amount of calories have different impact on your body if you eat sugar or protein & fats. Just take a glucometer and you see different blood sugar spikes. Your insulin release decides who to do with the calories - to burn them or to store them as a body fat
Why does fast food need to be unhealthy?
It doesn’t.
And the reason it is, when you get past the cover story of “cost”, is an ugly trip down a massive rabbit hole.
But I expect the junk food industry to collapse within 10 years.
American's are always pressed for time, so fast food fits the bill...
Problem is::: It ruins your health..
McDonald's thanks neglectfull parents for their terrible parenting skills.
Wasn't Supersize me considered the wrong way to conduct an experiment ? Something about the numbers were inaccurate, and the main guy behaved as if the impact was worse than what it was? (Not that eating fast food for every meal, everyday is correct, just in terms of presenting information in a documentary)
To be honest, I didn't know that, thanks for sharing! For what it's worth none of my research was based off the movie just used as a cultural reference. Thanks for watching :)
@@benfarrytwas only asking. love your presentation. Will watch more.
The numbers were skewed because the Spurlock was an alcoholic.
This was the real cause of all his liver damage.
He did not disclose this in the documentary.
Hey man! Crazily was eating a slice of pizza and asked myself, why is this stuff so good. Welp, I think now it’s time I go down a rabbit hole now
Great video! Thank you for it.
Living in europe i could never compare fast food to real food i can find, and it's a bless bc this grew me up to not like fast foods.
everything thats simple and lacks options frustrates the shit outta me
Incredible content! Thank you❤
Nestle owning Jenny Craig isn't surprising. Companies which produce nicotine gum, patches, and other methods to quit smoking are owned by big tobacco.
Hey man! I left a different comment because that was one I started when I first started watching the video but had to finish some homework andnow I’m back to ask my original question. Bro…how did you do this? The quality, the editing, everything is top tier. I’m 19 and I’ve literally been wanting to do this I’ve just been scared, this is the life I want I just need to learn how to edit, how did you start my guy?
That is literally the cost of capitalism, it's the logical consequence of profit b4 prople
And then there's communism
People live in poverty 😅
I have a 24 hour McDonald's near me. It's so bright at night, it can be seen from the international space station. And the drive thru line is active the entire 24 hours.
This was excellent man.
Thanks so much!
your videos are fking great, been watching them for a while and i can def say u dont dissapoint 🔥
Really appreciate your kind words! Got a few more coming soon & I'm really steppin it up!
Australia stoped marketing McDonald's at certain times on tv when i was a kid same as kfc .but with the rise of mordern phones and apps with delivery they just raise prices with less of value and called it a junck food tax .
Interesting!
I think the worst thing to happen not only in the US, but also Europe, is the fact that basic education doesn’t teach the thermodynamics of calories and bodily energy expenditure. I feel like if people understood what a calorie is earlier in their life, they’d make more informed decisions
Donnie’s Depends, are busy collecting those Big Mac’s 🤔💥🫨🫨🫨
This is very underrated. Hope you start to get more views soon.
I love McDonalds and KFC. It tastes so much better when you have long periods of time between indulging. The key is moderation. Only once every now and then
This ONLY has 2,000 views?! This video was amazing, Both editing and message wise!
Dude thanks so much!!
@@benfarryt You'll go far on this platform man. I genuinely mean that. All the best mate :)
Low value carbs are high glycemic carbs. low glycemic carbs are the opposite effect in your body and super healthy.
The rubik's cube in the background is now a staple part of this channel.
Hahaha yuuuup
Great Presentation! Well spoken. I like this channel
I grew up working in a family restaurant and we served ice cream both soft serve and scoop but along that we served hamburgers and hotdogs with french fries and corndogs of course . I ate a big mac when I was young and was hooked and loved it . I tried last year at 2 different locations and the big mac at one had lettuce you could see through and it was very dry , the second had patties that looked aged and the bottom part of the bun was like a cookie (stale) . I will never eat their fries or big macs again . The problem lies in the employees , they can't keep a good one so they rehire a lot and it dilutes their food product . Most of them sadly are children . Good luck Ray you fouled up an American classic .
I avoid fast food, if possible I wanna avoid it throughout my entire lifetime.
Waste of money and bad for health. I haven't eaten fast food for more than 4 years already.
Better use that money to buy more protein food such as eggs and meats.
I ate fast food obsessively all the time when I was a kid but lowkey I rarely eat it now, I honestly prefer just cooking my own food it’s more rewarding. We just need to pickup better eating habits
We like to blame the profit incentive as to why they produce perceived "poor product" but the reality is that's the culture code of their audience. Another thing i feel like we harsh on the titans as olympians we should learn without judgement from our predecessors they had to pave the way with no guidance
this is crazy good for 1000 views deserves atleast 1mil
ay I appreciate that!
Walmart justin timberlake? Lol
The guy from supersize me was a raging alcoholic
People can decide what they are comfortable eating. You van not dictate to people what they eat.
American food standards of qualify are very low compared to EU... Living in Italy I can tell the huge difference
Yo man! First of all my compliments for your efforts to make a video to really help the people, but the main problem is that people got an i.q. under 10 and most one think "oh is good what he says" and than they forget because is Sunday and they brought the children on new fast food, also here in Italy, I live in a little town every Monday Farmers sell theirs products but people prefer bad food because "life is so hard, why am I should also care about the food?" It's sad see junk food that still rules in a period where everyone can see the side effects of this
Absolutely fantastic video
you’re a master of your craft
Thanks a bunch! Really appreciate you saying that :)
I only use whole wheat hamburger rolls. That's one reason I dont eat restaurant hamburgers. I never eat any kind of white bread.
No harm in eating junk food. All things in moderation.
Bros the most underrated man on earth 🌎 😢
Appreciate you :)
Last weekend I was staying at a friends weekendhouse by a lake. I try to stay away from fast food, but I didn’t want to be a partypooper, and I was a bit hungry, so we all went out for some McDonald’s proposed to me by the rest of the guys. Since then, I had acne breakouts all over my face, and been craving junkfood. I try to go for less harmful alternatives, mainly options that help me hit my protein goals. Stay away if you can guys, I’m going back to eggs, steak, chicken, pork, fish, with quality carbohydrates and tasty veggies.
Big corporate businesses can't tell us where or how to spend our money.
McDonald's food is trash.
This is a great channel.
Thank you so much! Appreciate it
Tobacco companies and the fast food connection is worth looking into.

The only "fast food" place I used to go was Subway. But no longer go there after getting sick from their sandwiches. Now i just cook and make all meals at home. Its so much better!
Thanks! This motivated me into stopping to eat fast food!
Supersize Me has turned out to be a hoax. The creator admitted he was a longtime alcoholic before dying recently, including while he was filming Supersize Me. The effects of the McDonald’s diet on his health were extremely exaggerated due to his alcoholism. If you watch it again, the doctors in the movie even raise some eyebrows about his results from his physicals, saying they didn’t expect a change in diet to be so influential on his declining health.
Not saying fast food isn’t bad for you, but citing Supersize Me is not reliable or accurate evidence.
Utterly shocked to see only 2,524 views on this vid, when its the kind of stuff big channels put out
That’s so kind of you to say - thank you!
It might be surprising, but, the last time I ate McDo was 4 years ago. I tasted It, and I was like : the taste is lame, and I'm still hungry. I payed 16$ to still be hungry. That's a shame. So yeah I much prefer restaurants, even thought It means It's more expensive. I just wait longer, but I know my patience is worthy
well they once had the TV monopoly today everyone has his own TV channels, so you cant influence people that easy anymore the time is over, you can only influence people if you are a good restaurant and friends recommend it further. good means a perfect mixture of Price and Performance that is individually different, so just believe in god and do your work daily in a meaningful way to become rewarded.
When you use the term "cold hard facts" in the same breath as Supersize Me, you get an automatic thumbs-down for ignorance.
The prodcution value is crazy good
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching :)
I live in Brazil and im too broke to fall victim to the fast food industry around here
Why only McDonald’s gets blamed for junk food?
so fast food is a problem, but not THE problem. most americans dont eat fast food everyday, maybe not even more than once a week. fast food is expensive and most americans are living paycheck to paycheck and dont have much money. whats truly making americans obese is the food in the grocery stores.
