The first thing to do is to teach cooking. I was a single mother below the poverty line, and I managed to serve good food to my kids. But I knew how to cook a tasty meal with few ingredients in 30 minutes.
Quite right. My first experinces in the kitchen were of those when my mother cooked. Back then she did not include us much as everything needed to go fast and so we did not learn. Luckily in our school system there was in one year included also cooking, which not all schoolsystems do, but it definetly helped. Then when i was on my own, the first years there was not much cooking done, but over time and due to circumstances i teached more and more to myself. TH-cam for all its flaws, does have excellent cooking channels where not just recepies are being shown but perperation technics and how to work the different ressources. I think that kids should be let into the kitchen from early on and give them jobs. Sorting vegis, cleaning them, after a certain age small knives to clean and cut vegis, later bigger knives for meat prep. Showing them, letting them taste and smell herbs and knowledge about what they do in our boddies, all that and more could be done at home with some patience and time.
I agree, even though I think it’s quite difficult to achieve the same kind of intensity of taste with fresh meals. I’m not sure how to describe it but processed foods definitely have a special taste to them. Luckily I don’t like that taste but I know others that love that and struggle to achieve this. Maybe it’s the amount of fat and carbohydrates in combination?
I know how to cook from scratch, and do it every day. I use loads of vegetables, good quality proteins, not many carbs etc. My job is very, very physical. Yet I'm obese.
I don't even cook. I just put a few vegetables in the microwave and press the button. Takes seconds, when the oven says beep, I eat. I put some beans/lentils and/or grains with water in the rice cooker and press the button. When the rice cookers beeps, I eat. It is all so simple.
I love that book too! In fact, I'm about to finish it. I took the time to read it thoroughly and process all the given information and research. There are pages where my jaw simply drops because I cannot believe what I'm actually reading. Chris, if you ever read this, I'm pretty sure everyone will thank you for such a book.
When i try to explain this situation to friends, i’ll always use the example of a pie. When you buy a pie in the supermarket, you can finish the whole thing by yourself in under 30 minutes. You’ve probably eaten all of your daily calories, but will feel hungry in a few hours. If you make a pie yourself, you would only eat a slice. Maybe 2, but never the whole pie. You’d be stuffed if you did! And the taste is so much better! Its only because you’ve made a cake with whole ingredients, that doesn’t try to seduce you to another bite and then another bite.
Can we please stop with the myth that fast food is cheaper than regular food? All it is is easier. Go get a secondhand crockpot and you can make yourself a beautiful meal with really cheap food.
Exactly junk food is expensive, already because it is empty but dense calories, does not satiate, and people have to eat a lot of junk food and ultra-processed food to have a minimum of satiating effect.
Fast food like McDonalds or something else. But ultra processed foods like a burger to put in the microwave is definitely cheaper than the ones you make from scratch.

A pizza is not a pizza. You can sure from time to time enjoy a "real" freshly made pizza with handmade dough (best case whole wheat), fresh tomatoes, basil, some mushrooms, fish, lean "prociutto", olives, artichoke hearts, some teaspoons of extra virgin cold pressed olive oil on it, it fits on a normal size plate, eaten without haste in your family. No family size or party size pizza and no wolfing down of a frozen whatever piece of processed material on top a lot of undefinable grease. So a pizza is NOT a pizza, it can be food. I am a german woman married to an italian, everytime we saw or even ate pizza in the US we regretted it deeply.
exactly! pizza can be yummy and still be healthy and taste fresh.. i love pizza but when i say pizza i mean the type of pizza you just described. the overly salty with tons of meat and cheese on top isnt what i want when i say i crave pizza
@@niconii3663 I actually crave healthy pizza with a ton of meat and cheese on top, with a lot of salt... this is exactly what pizza makes so healthy, the high protein content. And I mean high quality cheese and meat. Frozen pizzas have a lot of garbage in the dough, same with other processed pizza's, and low quality meats or cheese's, so its not filling but its highly palatable. Can be equally palatable and much more filling and healthier if made right.
This is exactly what I think so too. I live in central EU and well done pizza is from restaurants and pizza places. The worst pizza is frozen, and sometimes rarely from fast foods.
Its sad how my parents make "home made pizza" and call it healthy, while they use ham from store, cheese too, these two by itself have like 10 or more chemicals together with 'E' infront of number. They also used ketchup before i told them to put our grown minced tomato. In last few years they went full ultraprocessed, using microwave and toasts.
I found this video is good for listening and learning English in British accent, especially the last part of the video, which there are only black background with white subtitle.
To avoid this stuff, you have to know how to cook from scratch. Schools need to teach cooking to all children and teenagers. The more marketing some food item has, the more it will probably be bad for you. Always read the label. Find out what the ingredients are. Buy some basic cooking equipment, even pound shops sell, cheap cookware.
All our parents know how to cook because they grew up in the 80s-90s, with healthy cooking culture at home. School lessons are fine, but it`s the parents who should teach good habits to their children
Whatever FDA says I try to avoid it. I found myself in this rabbit hole of so many industry lies when I read "The 23 Former Doctor Truths". Its no wonder why Doctor left her career.
One day, as a nation, we will be comfortable listening to a documentary without theatrical music in the background. One day we will just listen to words without the drama added-hopefully in my lifetime.
Umm sorry to crush your hopes and dreams but i'm pretty sure we're going in the other direction. Now we watch short videos with low quality "music" that doesn't have any words spoken at all. Just hope that documentaries even with dramatic music won't become extinct in your lifetime.
That's so much true. I always take homemade lunches with me to university, and my groupmates always ask me if I'm on a diet and restrict myself. Meanwhile, my food is very filling and diverse
If there's a traffic light system for calories, then there should be one for whether or not it is ultra processed... Problem is, everything they sell, aside from fruits, vegetables, pulses, and meats are ultra processed...
Lots of comments saying junk is more expensive than healthy food - I don't think it's that straightforward. A healthy takeaway is waaaay more expensive than an unhealthy one. Healthier ready-meals are more expensive than unhealthier ones. Fruit and veg can be more expensive and go off sooner than crisps and snacks. Freezer space is more of an expense, as are the implements needed for cooking and the energy to heat it. And aside from that, you need time to plan, budget, cook, wash-up and store leftovers from home-made meals as well as think through how to cater for the whole family and avoid wasting precious ingredients. People with disabilities are often at a disadvantage when it comes to shopping and home-cooking. I spend half a day each weekend preparing food for the week, after planning the meals, listing ingredients, checking the cupboards, writing a list, doing the shopping, transporting it home and putting it away. Not many people have the time for that, alongside working and caring for others. Keep in mind, it's not just the price of ingredients. Well done you if you manage to always home cook healthy food, it's harder than it looks! Evidently!
I found that by just planning out my calories cooking and eating exactly that despite being in a deficit I don’t find myself hungry. I think it is that since I planned my meals in advance I got plenty of protein and fiber and weighed it all during meal prepping, it really made all the difference. Also since I only buy what I am meal prepping I don’t have a bunch of snacks around
You're on to an important aspect of diet - too much, is too much. That said, 100 calories of whole almonds responds very differently in your gut than 100 calories of potato chips. The almonds take a lot of time to digest and are not immediately processed, thus your glucose spike is much smaller and corresponding insulin release is less. No fat storage needed for future energy use and body stays metabolically healthy. The protein and fiber will keep you fuller much longer - that's really key.
3:52 This example of sonic branding reminds me of something else. The Nintendo Switch has the snap sound effect. It is very ironic to the Nintendo Switch and satisfying to hear like opening a can of soda. I've also noticed something else in past Pokemon advertisements. The first thing you will hear is Pikachu saying "Pika" as an announcement to grab your or children's attention to watch the actual Pokemon commercial after the "Pika". Just hearing Pikachu as the first thing, you instantly recognized a Pokemon commercial will play. Pikachu is their mascot for their brand anyway.
Try this maybe: blend 1 cup soaked cashews, 2 cups water, dates, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch salt. Everything can be adjusted to your preferences. Use high speed blender- yum
@@debbiejohnson4034 Thank You so very much. If I can stop drinking booze Hopefully I can quit this addiction. because I know what's in these creamers I was too scared to read the ingredients. 4 years no booze or cigarettes. Thanx Again
Best way to stop is not to buy these in the first place. Then it also becomes easier to buy and cook healthy, as you are not constantly reminded you have those easier tastier options around anymore.
The only thing in life that feels good is eating since my mom died and I got burned out because of bullying at work. I am not overweight but I really understand how people go there. Mad world.
Dnt eat much . Ur response is an antidote to depression actually. Rather go out and run and walk and travel . Make that as an addiction. Sending u lots of love . I know life is nothing without our mom ❤️
What I noticed is that many people who eat a lot of ultra processed foods, prepackaged and ready to eat can’t actually cook! They haven’t learnt how to make nutritious foods from natural ingredients, and therefore heavily rely on the food industry to make it for them! And, they don’t know what else they are putting in them. I think that one of the solutions to tackling the rise of obesity is to start teaching people how to cook, and show how easy it can be to make amazing nutritious foods from scratch.
For many folks, they are working two jobs and shuttling children from school to activities... too busy to cook. The 70s is about where women started entering the wider workforce as well. It because faster, easier, cheaper to buy processed food. Also, that's when the microwave became popular. So our way of life has changed and our foods changed to keep up with it.
I've been hopelessly addicted to eating processed foods because that is what our society told us was normal and OK. I drank soda with practically every meal of my life until about 2010.
I got here from tiktok and I need to ask questions..... this documentary was 3 years ago, so did the organization or the scientists have more proof on ultra processed food and real food? bcs I'm getting worried
@@pegapage9603 Yuka can also teach you what to look out for, if you have the time and you're not too tired/lazy to read. People are just overworked and don't have the time/energy to look after themselves anymore. It's sad.
In mid-1970's they told us that meat and fat is unhealthy and we should eat grains, preferably with seed oils. There you have it. The cause of all our present woes.
Is that why meat consumption is higher than ever before? It's always been about calories in vs calories out. Snacks and a sedentary lifestyle have caused this obesity crisis in the US.
@@wollahmeh8823 "Calories in vs calories out" might be true when you eat carbs. If you're in ketosis, some of the ketones you just pee out, so it's not about mathematics anymore. And when you have a fatty meal, you don't crave for snacks, so your daily calories intake can be controlled more easily. I lost 66 lbs eating mainly meat and animal fat. My diabetes is gone.
My joint pain is gone and nausea is almost dissipated. It’s truly amazing! My mental heath got WAY better way faster than I thought possible. I was able to get on and off SSRIs within 8 months, despite the horrible fluctuations in doses I had.
Smell is a big thing that attracts us to food. There's a reason you can smell McDonalds food prior to entering a restaurant. The same goes for pizza. The meat is deliberately designed to give off scent
Well, yeah, but plain coffee is zero calorie, and chocolate is an obvious treat not pretending to be something it isn't. These sugary cereals advertised to be "part of a healthy diet" are a different matter, as are the chips which hide all sorts of sugars and fats.
Sugar is the worst of all. I can be completely stuffed with food and then you give me some sweets and I can shove in another 500 or 600 calories with ease. It's scary!
AHAHAHA, the ending part of the response regarding "not enought research" is hilarious xDD cuz it very often (increasingly so) seems to me as if there is already so many leaps fwd in research areas that they just simply decline changing things up (sometimes even perhaps a bit more radically) in order to continue fuelling the existing industry, as in "it ain't broke; don't fix it" motto xD (looking at massive petrol companies here as well...though off topic) I feel like nowadays, one of the must-learn skills for the generations to come is to read between the space in between the lines (cuz the fine print seems to still not fine enough it seems xD), ideally without us all becoming overly cynical in all aspects of life...
This is another exceptional series with Sir David Attenborough , this time about Asia. Spectacular scenes and outstanding if watched on a big screen . Thoroughly enjoyed the first episode, looking forward to seeing more.😊
SALT! We need to do something about the levels of salt in food. I did the six weeks with no added salt thing, and I've never looked back. I don't need salt on my chips or rice or pasta anymore, and flavours are so much better. Processed foods now taste poisonous to me.
It’s a cultural thing. I got a healthy breakfast at home, a home-cooked (well, ”school-cooked”) lunch at school, and then a home-cooked meal at home for dinner. When we ate out, we went to a real restaurant. We had pizza for special occasions, sweets on Saturdays only, and McDonald's on road trips, if we nagged enough. Because of that, I cook my own food from scratch as an adult, and fast food gives me a guilty conscience. Your kids will have the same relation to food as you, good or bad.
Interesting 🤔.... But look at the French, they eat a lot of butter, sweets etc . But most took the time to enjoy a meal. The original Napoleon pizza is thin crust, focused on very few ingredients, mozzarella, tomato 🍅, basil, olive oil
What is the difference between the way our food and those of our dogs and cats are processed and marketed at us? We are just as vulnerable to the power of science/ psychology-based corporate behaviours as our pets.

When peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or cheese sandwiches, or similar were not enough. Why do they always show a hamburger? Take 80/20 ground beef, a good quality bun, lettuce, tomato and such. It is not that unhealthy.
I'm so lucky to live in Greece, the food here is on another level, it doesn't compare to all the cancer coming from Western countries, what they call snacks and all their fast food junk.
As the man demonstrated, they are soft foods - crunchy at first, but they quickly break down and are rapidly digested. They have a high glycemic index, like most bread.
"food that dont exist in nature" you can do some of these food yourself and make a healthy variant of it. pizza doesnt need to be unhealthy at all.. its just the ultra processed supermarket pizza that is bad, but pizza itself is not a bad food - make your own healthy pizza at home. also chocolate isnt that bad at all. the cacao itself can be really healthy - you can make unsugared bitter chocolate. a healthy pizza or bitter chocolate can taste amazing, people are just so used to sugar and salt that theirtaste buds became so numb that when there isnt enough sugar or salt in it they dont like it.
Seed Oils, Cholesterol is bad, Let's make everything SUPER addictive. Texture is KING. Something that is easier to eat means less expenditure of energy. Feeds into the adage of the path of least resistance. Taste buds trigger emotion. Emotions overrun Logic. Furthermore, eating with your eyes. Displays of Fast food curated by specialists to make the display look as appetizing as possible. Plays on every single part of the human psyche to leverage those food types regardless of how they affect you later that evening or the next day. All in the namesake of Convenience. It's only the one time, it'll be ok. (Don't think about the compounding effect) 😎
The good news is we can retrain our taste buds to enjoy healthy food by simply replacing snack "food" with real food. It may take a while to adjust, but if you persist, eventually fruits and veggies can become just as satisfying as the crappiest crap.

My Health Recommendations: -No sugar (only fruits and raw honey but very little) -No alcohol -No smoking (all types) -Red Meat & Chicken 2-3 times a week max (only organic) -No artificial sweeteners (cola light, zero etc) -Fish: eat only wild fish no farm fish (2-3 times a week) -No Canned Food (BPA, Salt, Preservatives) -No Processed food or processed meat at all (hot dog etc) -No fried food (only fried in olive oil and very rarely) -Cook at home preferably (controlled environment) -Eat organic legumes (soaked in water overnight due to lectins) -Eat organic vegetables (slowly cooked or steamed is better for digestion) -Dishwasher residue : wash dishes with hot water before use -No plastic bottles or containers (be aware of sun effect) -No sun screen, only mineral sun screen (oxybenzone risk) -No artificial perfume/fragrance only essential oils (phthalate, paraben) -shampoo , shower gel : organic with no chemicals -Water in jar only not PET -Use organic soap with essential oils -Carbon filter tap water (filters hormones, micro plastic, pesticides) -No Teflon pans, use only stainless steel pans and cookware (PFAs) -Organic Cacao drink with water good to replace coffee (+1 tsp of coconut oil) -Very little coffee (organic espresso) or cappuccino with organic milk (2 hours between meals) -Self made organic bread (wheat water salt yeast olive oil and 24 hour dough rest) -Breakfast: Organic Eggs, Grass Fed Organic butter -No Margarine, only grass fed organic butter -No soya, sunflower, canola oil, cook/fry only with extra virgin olive oil -One shot of extra virgin olive oil in the morning (1 tbsp) -Vitamin D+K2 drops every day 2000 IU with olive oil for better absorption -avoid endocrine / hormone disruptors -> no chemicals, plastic -Avoid pesticides (like glyphosate) -> buy organic wheat, vegetables, fruits -Some vegetables and fruits are highly contaminated with pesticides -Like tomatoes, berries, leafy greens, apples -> buy organic -Avoid any type of medicine -> use herbs and spices like ginger garlic oregano -Avoid antibiotics at all cost -> use herbs and spices like ginger garlic oregano -Eat probiotic food like raw kefir, yoghurt, kimchi but don't abuse (may cause bloating) -10min workout every morning (30 burpees and 30 push ups) -Try raw milk (cow, goat, camel) and traditional non homogenized milk but don't abuse -No vegetable milk like soya or oat milk (hormones and added vegetable oil) -Avoid screens before and after bed -Reduce screen time at minimum
your diet should be based around fatty red meat. That is our oldest evolutionary food type so it makes no sense to limit it. The research linking it to cancer is useless, like almost all nutritional research. They show correlation, not causation. Its why we have studies and populations showing the opposite. Hong Kong for example. The diet should be low, to zero carb. Very few fruits if any, and basically no vegetables. If you look up the history of the plants we eat they are all man-made, they look nothing like their wild-types which often dont even exist. Mimic our evolutionary diet for a couple of months and see how you feel. Its night and day. Worth a go.
This is exactly the kind of health advice that is too expensive and unattainable for most people. You can eat perfectly healthy without following half of these.
Porridge is not as healthy as many people think and as it's portrayed in adverts/marketing. Check the label on your packet and you might be very surprised. Sure it's high in fibre but it can also be very high in sugar content, has a high calorie count and a high carb count.
@jaker3151 It's usually highly satiating for it's calorie content which can make it a good choice, but there's several kinds and can be cooked differently. Carbs is nothing to be afraid of, a preferred energy source for our body.
Vanishing calorific density, sonic branding (snap, crackle, pop),....have to struggle to stop eating them, reward power of processed foods,.... Great info to caution all consumers to be careful about ultra processed foods to take care of our overall health. In India we donot have so much of UPFs compared with the west. Still why the Diabetic population is the largest, its because of polished rice and its products such as idli, dosa, gundu pongalu, pongal, baths etc which are even more harmful than UPFs. The obesity in India is rising especially post green revolution. Rice is given free ...... so people eat volcano of rice...

They also used ketchup before i told them to put our grown minced tomato. In last few years they went full ultraprocessed, using microwave and toasts.
I found this video is good for listening and learning English in British accent, especially the last part of the video, which there are only black background with white subtitle.
To avoid this stuff, you have to know how to cook from scratch. Schools need to teach cooking to all children and teenagers.
The more marketing some food item has, the more it will probably be bad for you. Always read the label. Find out what the ingredients are.
Buy some basic cooking equipment, even pound shops sell, cheap cookware.
100%
Perfect
All our parents know how to cook because they grew up in the 80s-90s, with healthy cooking culture at home. School lessons are fine, but it`s the parents who should teach good habits to their children
@@katenpp Depends on the school and whether cooking is taught or not. It also varies from country to country.
Excuses .. there’s a new invention called air fryer
Whatever FDA says I try to avoid it. I found myself in this rabbit hole of so many industry lies when I read "The 23 Former Doctor Truths". Its no wonder why Doctor left her career.
Totally agree with you on that
COULDNT BE SAID BETTER
Who needs the FDA to know you should not eat processed foods?
One of the best ways I've found to stop eating it is not to buy it.
When I clicked on the link to watch this up popped an advert for Dorritos before the vid opened.
Definition of irony!
I had a nestle chocolate mousse 😂
One day, as a nation, we will be comfortable listening to a documentary without theatrical music in the background. One day we will just listen to words without the drama added-hopefully in my lifetime.
Humans have lost the ability to focus or be bored lol
Umm sorry to crush your hopes and dreams but i'm pretty sure we're going in the other direction. Now we watch short videos with low quality "music" that doesn't have any words spoken at all. Just hope that documentaries even with dramatic music won't become extinct in your lifetime.
When you eat real food people consider it a diet
That's so much true. I always take homemade lunches with me to university, and my groupmates always ask me if I'm on a diet and restrict myself. Meanwhile, my food is very filling and diverse
If there's a traffic light system for calories, then there should be one for whether or not it is ultra processed... Problem is, everything they sell, aside from fruits, vegetables, pulses, and meats are ultra processed...
Lots of comments saying junk is more expensive than healthy food - I don't think it's that straightforward. A healthy takeaway is waaaay more expensive than an unhealthy one. Healthier ready-meals are more expensive than unhealthier ones. Fruit and veg can be more expensive and go off sooner than crisps and snacks. Freezer space is more of an expense, as are the implements needed for cooking and the energy to heat it. And aside from that, you need time to plan, budget, cook, wash-up and store leftovers from home-made meals as well as think through how to cater for the whole family and avoid wasting precious ingredients. People with disabilities are often at a disadvantage when it comes to shopping and home-cooking.
I spend half a day each weekend preparing food for the week, after planning the meals, listing ingredients, checking the cupboards, writing a list, doing the shopping, transporting it home and putting it away. Not many people have the time for that, alongside working and caring for others. Keep in mind, it's not just the price of ingredients.
Well done you if you manage to always home cook healthy food, it's harder than it looks! Evidently!
Snap crackle and pop is what we hear in yoga class now in our 40's. 😅
hahaha
And in our fifties, sixties etc.!!!😅😊
😂😂😂😂
You need to look after your joints with healthy fats. Some joint care that’s why Ayurveda was always studies side by side to yoga.
What surprised me is these kinds of contexts are underrated
I found that by just planning out my calories cooking and eating exactly that despite being in a deficit I don’t find myself hungry.
I think it is that since I planned my meals in advance I got plenty of protein and fiber and weighed it all during meal prepping, it really made all the difference.
Also since I only buy what I am meal prepping I don’t have a bunch of snacks around
You're on to an important aspect of diet - too much, is too much. That said, 100 calories of whole almonds responds very differently in your gut than 100 calories of potato chips. The almonds take a lot of time to digest and are not immediately processed, thus your glucose spike is much smaller and corresponding insulin release is less. No fat storage needed for future energy use and body stays metabolically healthy. The protein and fiber will keep you fuller much longer - that's really key.
huge thanks for creating such an amazing video
Nice BBC,this has a good edge to it! The addictive chemicals added,is messing with our brains.
I like the very last line of text🙂
3:52 This example of sonic branding reminds me of something else. The Nintendo Switch has the snap sound effect. It is very ironic to the Nintendo Switch and satisfying to hear like opening a can of soda. I've also noticed something else in past Pokemon advertisements. The first thing you will hear is Pikachu saying "Pika" as an announcement to grab your or children's attention to watch the actual Pokemon commercial after the "Pika". Just hearing Pikachu as the first thing, you instantly recognized a Pokemon commercial will play. Pikachu is their mascot for their brand anyway.
what is the name of this documentary ?
I'm going on 5 years whole foods. However I'm still hooked on flavored coffee creamers and sugar.
Try this maybe: blend 1 cup soaked cashews, 2 cups water, dates, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch salt. Everything can be adjusted to your preferences. Use high speed blender- yum
@@debbiejohnson4034 Thank You so very much. If I can stop drinking booze Hopefully I can quit this addiction. because I know what's in these creamers I was too scared to read the ingredients. 4 years no booze or cigarettes. Thanx Again
M so thankful of bbc documentaries. So full of knowledge ❤
Why can’t I find this doc, in its entirety, anywhere??
tried viewing per the link above - only valid if in the U.K. apparently.
Best way to stop is not to buy these in the first place.
Then it also becomes easier to buy and cook healthy, as you are not constantly reminded you have those easier tastier options around anymore.
Exactly🎉
Where can we watch this outside the UK?!
More Chris and Xand Van Tulleken, forever 🤍
What I found hysterical was the pizza ad after this…
This combined with the sin of not telling people what to do has ruined so many lives!
Wow, this is super fascinating
The only thing in life that feels good is eating since my mom died and I got burned out because of bullying at work. I am not overweight but I really understand how people go there. Mad world.
Dnt eat much . Ur response is an antidote to depression actually. Rather go out and run and walk and travel . Make that as an addiction. Sending u lots of love . I know life is nothing without our mom ❤️
thank u bbc
What I noticed is that many people who eat a lot of ultra processed foods, prepackaged and ready to eat can’t actually cook!
They haven’t learnt how to make nutritious foods from natural ingredients, and therefore heavily rely on the food industry to make it for them! And, they don’t know what else they are putting in them.
I think that one of the solutions to tackling the rise of obesity is to start teaching people how to cook, and show how easy it can be to make amazing nutritious foods from scratch.
For many folks, they are working two jobs and shuttling children from school to activities... too busy to cook. The 70s is about where women started entering the wider workforce as well. It because faster, easier, cheaper to buy processed food. Also, that's when the microwave became popular. So our way of life has changed and our foods changed to keep up with it.
Sure would be nice to watch the full program and not just a clip
What you're calling food isn't real food. That's junk. True food is nutritious and medicinal, benefiting all animals, including humans.
I've been hopelessly addicted to eating processed foods because that is what our society told us was normal and OK.
I drank soda with practically every meal of my life until about 2010.
As a compulsive over eater I find this to be spot on.
Where can we watch in full ?
I wanna know too
There are a couple of podcasts with Chris - youtube and others
I got here from tiktok and I need to ask questions..... this documentary was 3 years ago, so did the organization or the scientists have more proof on ultra processed food and real food? bcs I'm getting worried
The only balance in the food is when weighed in a container.
I scan barcodes of supermarket products with Yuka. It tells you if the food is: Excellent, Good, Poor or Bad for you.
Well, just don't try to really understand what's in them right? An app doesn't make you understand your food.
@@pegapage9603 Yuka can also teach you what to look out for, if you have the time and you're not too tired/lazy to read. People are just overworked and don't have the time/energy to look after themselves anymore. It's sad.
could you please add subttitle ,( I know there is subtitle button, but some is wrong) , some words really hard to hear clearly for un natives.
In 1970 tobacco compagny bought alot of food compagny
My classmates even take those snacks as their lunch everyday.
In mid-1970's they told us that meat and fat is unhealthy and we should eat grains, preferably with seed oils. There you have it. The cause of all our present woes.
Is that why meat consumption is higher than ever before? It's always been about calories in vs calories out. Snacks and a sedentary lifestyle have caused this obesity crisis in the US.
@@wollahmeh8823 "Calories in vs calories out" might be true when you eat carbs. If you're in ketosis, some of the ketones you just pee out, so it's not about mathematics anymore. And when you have a fatty meal, you don't crave for snacks, so your daily calories intake can be controlled more easily. I lost 66 lbs eating mainly meat and animal fat. My diabetes is gone.
My joint pain is gone and nausea is almost dissipated. It’s truly amazing! My mental heath got WAY better way faster than I thought possible. I was able to get on and off SSRIs within 8 months, despite the horrible fluctuations in doses I had.
Smell is a big thing that attracts us to food. There's a reason you can smell McDonalds food prior to entering a restaurant.
The same goes for pizza. The meat is deliberately designed to give off scent
I am totally in love with coffee and chocolate, and I am not sorry :) I will keep eating them with great relish.
Well, yeah, but plain coffee is zero calorie, and chocolate is an obvious treat not pretending to be something it isn't. These sugary cereals advertised to be "part of a healthy diet" are a different matter, as are the chips which hide all sorts of sugars and fats.
Your choice by trying it on chemo with Alzheimer's...
jesse welles song 'fat' summarizes this perfectly
Sugar is the worst of all. I can be completely stuffed with food and then you give me some sweets and I can shove in another 500 or 600 calories with ease. It's scary!
The graphic at the beginning is an evidence in itself. But still: YOU CAN RESIST. Fight.
🤘🔥
AHAHAHA, the ending part of the response regarding "not enought research" is hilarious xDD
cuz it very often (increasingly so) seems to me as if there is already so many leaps fwd in research areas that they just simply decline changing things up (sometimes even perhaps a bit more radically) in order to continue fuelling the existing industry, as in "it ain't broke; don't fix it" motto xD (looking at massive petrol companies here as well...though off topic)
I feel like nowadays, one of the must-learn skills for the generations to come is to read between the space in between the lines (cuz the fine print seems to still not fine enough it seems xD),
ideally without us all becoming overly cynical in all aspects of life...
This is another exceptional series with Sir David Attenborough , this time about Asia.
Spectacular scenes and outstanding if watched on a big screen .
Thoroughly enjoyed the first episode, looking forward to seeing more.😊
SALT! We need to do something about the levels of salt in food. I did the six weeks with no added salt thing, and I've never looked back. I don't need salt on my chips or rice or pasta anymore, and flavours are so much better. Processed foods now taste poisonous to me.
I am asian and addicted to rice. We gotta have rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner.... and snack on rice cakes and rice porridge. Help.
It’s a cultural thing. I got a healthy breakfast at home, a home-cooked (well, ”school-cooked”) lunch at school, and then a home-cooked meal at home for dinner. When we ate out, we went to a real restaurant. We had pizza for special occasions, sweets on Saturdays only, and McDonald's on road trips, if we nagged enough. Because of that, I cook my own food from scratch as an adult, and fast food gives me a guilty conscience. Your kids will have the same relation to food as you, good or bad.
Simple rule: *"Don't eat processed food".*
Hard to manage, especially in the beginning, but worth the fight, so get to it!
Tax on processed food and subsidy fresh food would be a solution.
Interesting 🤔.... But look at the French, they eat a lot of butter, sweets etc . But most took the time to enjoy a meal. The original Napoleon pizza is thin crust, focused on very few ingredients, mozzarella, tomato 🍅, basil, olive oil
I love my energy protein bars...love eating eggs!
I bet people who get a stroke will never eat fries again 😂
Food addiction is underlooked
It's funny how she sneaked in pizza, LOL.
Watching this whilst devouring a pizza 😂
What is the difference between the way our food and those of our dogs and cats are processed and marketed at us?
We are just as vulnerable to the power of science/ psychology-based corporate behaviours as our pets.
There is no difference. The food is quite literally made by the same companies (Mars, Nestle, etc).
What is the citation for the graph of obesity rates across decades at the beginning? Thanks in advance.
Informative
I'll never give up my Doritos and gummy bears!
I keep to vegetables ,fruit and porridge, no dairy ,meat ,suger, fat takeaways, processed biscuits, sweet chocolate, and i dont smoke or drink., im a veggie vegan and i make my own food, never eat in restaurants or from the high street cafes
I lost 80 lbs on keto diet and still have cravings, it sucks
That is very serious issue for world nice attempt
I can't have gummy bears in the house.
The drink and food that each can affordable for each day and night.......
When peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or cheese sandwiches, or similar were not enough. Why do they always show a hamburger? Take 80/20 ground beef, a good quality bun, lettuce, tomato and such. It is not that unhealthy.
3:22
😔❤️Sherlock theme
Thanks for letting me know. I knew it sounded familiar ❤😮
Put a cap on profit able to be made on food and pharmaceutical products or ban profit all together. Solved.
I'm so lucky to live in Greece, the food here is on another level, it doesn't compare to all the cancer coming from Western countries, what they call snacks and all their fast food junk.
Can someone tell me about Rice/Corn cakes? They’re my potent snack….
As the man demonstrated, they are soft foods - crunchy at first, but they quickly break down and are rapidly digested. They have a high glycemic index, like most bread.
They break down to simple sugars immediately. Sorry.
2:38 stop calling candy food!
Big Food are now paying 'experts' to tout the benefits of ultra-processed foods, in an effort to create doubt about their harms.
Sometimes I dont stop myself for certain foods but when i eat this food i thinking it is a unhealthy and i stop.d
"food that dont exist in nature" you can do some of these food yourself and make a healthy variant of it. pizza doesnt need to be unhealthy at all.. its just the ultra processed supermarket pizza that is bad, but pizza itself is not a bad food - make your own healthy pizza at home. also chocolate isnt that bad at all. the cacao itself can be really healthy - you can make unsugared bitter chocolate. a healthy pizza or bitter chocolate can taste amazing, people are just so used to sugar and salt that theirtaste buds became so numb that when there isnt enough sugar or salt in it they dont like it.
Seed Oils, Cholesterol is bad, Let's make everything SUPER addictive. Texture is KING. Something that is easier to eat means less expenditure of energy. Feeds into the adage of the path of least resistance. Taste buds trigger emotion. Emotions overrun Logic. Furthermore, eating with your eyes. Displays of Fast food curated by specialists to make the display look as appetizing as possible. Plays on every single part of the human psyche to leverage those food types regardless of how they affect you later that evening or the next day. All in the namesake of Convenience.
It's only the one time, it'll be ok. (Don't think about the compounding effect) 😎
RJR buying general foods? That should be all you need to know.
Addicted to food. Now phones. 😢
The good news is we can retrain our taste buds to enjoy healthy food by simply replacing snack "food" with real food. It may take a while to adjust, but if you persist, eventually fruits and veggies can become just as satisfying as the crappiest crap.
Why are you surprised?
It's what the whole of your life is built on.
The basic principles are to consume or be consumed.
And the worst part - all sides are the same.

your diet should be based around fatty red meat. That is our oldest evolutionary food type so it makes no sense to limit it. The research linking it to cancer is useless, like almost all nutritional research. They show correlation, not causation. Its why we have studies and populations showing the opposite. Hong Kong for example. The diet should be low, to zero carb. Very few fruits if any, and basically no vegetables. If you look up the history of the plants we eat they are all man-made, they look nothing like their wild-types which often dont even exist. Mimic our evolutionary diet for a couple of months and see how you feel. Its night and day. Worth a go.
Are you kidding? No normal person and certainly not any family can do these.
@@suzannegagne8692 that’s the spirit
- don't live
This is exactly the kind of health advice that is too expensive and unattainable for most people. You can eat perfectly healthy without following half of these.
drinking game, drink a drink whenever you hear the word 'product'
Its like putting milk in front of a cat, then blame the cat she/he drank the milk.
because we like it. call me sherlock.
👍🏿💯
Omg😢
Porridge is soft food. It does not have bad day to help the swallowing process.
Birdy
Porridge is actually oats, which contain plenty of fibre.
Compare having a hand full of porridge and a hand full of Cheetos and how it feels in your stomach. It’s not the same softness
This whole episode is kinda missing the mark a bit. 😄
Porridge is not as healthy as many people think and as it's portrayed in adverts/marketing. Check the label on your packet and you might be very surprised. Sure it's high in fibre but it can also be very high in sugar content, has a high calorie count and a high carb count.
@jaker3151 It's usually highly satiating for it's calorie content which can make it a good choice, but there's several kinds and can be cooked differently. Carbs is nothing to be afraid of, a preferred energy source for our body.
It’s also texture. Junk food, like crisps, usually have a texture and crunch (like when biting into them) that is absolutely addictive as well
Just eat food and leave all the snacks
Vanishing calorific density, sonic branding (snap, crackle, pop),....have to struggle to stop eating them, reward power of processed foods,.... Great info to caution all consumers to be careful about ultra processed foods to take care of our overall health. In India we donot have so much of UPFs compared with the west. Still why the Diabetic population is the largest, its because of polished rice and its products such as idli, dosa, gundu pongalu, pongal, baths etc which are even more harmful than UPFs. The obesity in India is rising especially post green revolution. Rice is given free ...... so people eat volcano of rice...
