The Global Junk Food Conspiracy | Bringing Fat & Sugar to the Developing World: Obesity Documentary
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- In Europe, food manufacturers have signed up to ‘responsibility pledges’, promising no added sugar, preservatives, artificial colours or flavours and not to target children. So why are they using tactics banned in the West in the developing world? There, they have created ultra-low-cost products with higher levels of salt, sugar and saturated fats. Filmed in Brazil, India and France, we investigate the new tactics of brands like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Domino’s Pizza.
This documentary was produced by Babel Press and directed by CAMILLE LE POMELLEC. It was first released in 2016.

I am from India, and I had once consumed such junk from KFC and subway etc. But now have stopped completely. If my daughter wants a pizza, I just make one at home with fresh ingredients. I also am teaching her the difference between healthy and unhealthy food. The next generation can be saved if parents don't give in to the junk food temptation.
She's lucky n you are smart 👍
And education is very important…your daughter is already ahead by you giving her such a good foundation for her health..
Great job! You are doing the right thing, and your daughter will one day thank you. We need more Americans to think this way. Here it's actually less expensive to eat fast food in some urban/big city areas than it is to eat fresh grown and raised food.
Good for you don't let these evil companies trick _u into getting your children hooked on junk food.
Why, KFC js healthy. Tastes good and cheap. I mean chicken us full of protein. Stop bad mouthing food. There are lots of hungry people who have no food so stop bad mouthing food
"Mom, can we go to McDonalds?"
"No sweetie, we have food at home."
Thanks for saying that mom.
No sweetie let's have vada pav instead at least it's not processed crap on a bun
Never liked that crap to be honest, you always feel nauseous and hungry after an hour. The quality of fresh foods is so much better..
It’s a trap
Wahou !
J'ai bien entendu ?
Je me demandais si j'étais la seule à penser que c'était pas de la nourriture.
i dont think its bad to occassionally go to mcdonalds or so.
Advertising to children is both evil and really creepy.
I completely agree with you 100 percent. Marketing to children 👧 should be banned and outlawed.
Agrees and indoctrinating with religion is evil too
Kolkata is the toilet of India.
@@DoodleDoo shut up 🤐
How is it evil explain please
These documentaries are so underrated.
its disgusting what these industries are doing to public health, other countries, children, the environment and animals.
another documentary I would suggest to you is Dominion 2018 here on TH-cam.
@@kittymaid420 If you have pension or investment funds, have a look at the companies they invest.
I definitely agree with you
@@kittymaid420 is dominion graphic..?
EDIT: yes - I couldn’t make it past the pigs. i wish I could be vegan
Underrated by whom?
If we could get tobacco companies to put labels on their products stating that 'Smoking Kills' with a picture of a smoker's lungs, then perhaps it's time Governments take a stronger stance on these fast food giants to put caution labels on theirs.
Yes, we need daddy government to step in to stop people willingly doing things!
Many countries do this exact thing with tobacco products... Edit: never mind you just worded it awkward.
In Russia there are actually warnings and pictures of the deseases on the packaging. It doesn't really help.
Funny is im a smoker, but i can best healthy person who not a smoker in cross country cycling, so the point is exercises routine, atleast 3 or 4 days in a week, 2 hours minimum each times.
@@kobatheape794 ok. id like to see you try besting a healthy Lance Armstrong. 🤣
As an American I’m appalled at the marketing of garbage in schools. The schools here don’t allow soda in the vending machine’s. But the damage is already done
In the US 30 years ago, they had vending machine with sodas and junk food in my high school. I was weirded out.
@@plantbasedanalyst6263 not even sauce. Tomato paste!
Vending machine’s what?
Yet all this crap is American go figure
It's amazes me that people can eat junk food and soda every day
My body doesn't digest all that bread and fat- I get headaches& gain at rapidly
I rarely eat it
Poor people in Philly - have it daily bc it's cheap and tastes good
Salt and grease do taste good
I wish it were banned in USA
I'm so proud that we managed to make Domino's pizza FAIL in no time here in Italy 🎉
That was an insult to our wonderful, healthy pizza 🇮🇹
I can't believe they would try to set up shop in Italy. I lived in Vicenza for 3 years and remember all the great places to get pizza. I always went to places away from the NATO bases where food was "Americanized" with more fat, salt and sugar. I took one Italian friend to a restaurant near the base for lunch. She was sick for much of the afternoon.
@@eadecamp because, as the video shows, fast food is basically NOT "food".
I'm sure there are valid and tasty pizzerie in the USA too...just not this crap 🤢🤷🏻♀️
@@aisa2954 My husband loves to cook and makes good, healthy pizzas with a thinner crust. He will be traveling for 2 weeks and I'm going to try to make pizza spinaci.
@@eadecamp the thinner crust pizza type is called the romana pizza here.
The "plump" crust pizza is the pizza napoletana (the most famous and iconic one).
If you by any chance have some nice ricotta cheese, I'd absolutely suggest you to match it with the spinach 😋
Ricotta e spinaci is one of our favourite combo ♥️
@@aisa2954 Thanks. My husband was stationed in Vicenza for 3 years, and the farthest south I ever made it was Pisa.
I'll have to try that. Thanks! Also figuring out what to do with the 2 packages of mozarella someone gave us.
I'm getting some new cookbooks from the library, and one of them is Mediterranean.
There was a CocaCola contract in my American high school so we had their branding and products in vending machines. The company was getting all the money and we were all getting diabetes.
Did CocaCola force to buy their products or they pour their drinks in your throat by force? It was your choice and you're trying to get rid of responsibility
@@Artyom_K. If course we chose to drink it, it’s addictive. It’s messed up that they put up glowing billboards in schools to get kids hooked, right? We wouldn’t let cigarette companies do that. Also, your username is weird, bro
@@memomorph5375 I got gut microbiome disturbance, vit D deficiency and tooth cavities 🥲
What's even funnier is that you buy things you know aren't good for you, but you blame the companies. It's people like you that rely on government to tell you to wipe your ass.
As a kid my mother was against McDonald's. When I was a little older my father took my brother and me to McDonald's. I was so excited. I order a big Mac. Man was I disappointed, everybody was hyped about McDonald's and my expectations were high and than this tasteless peace of taste like paper thing.
My parents took me & my sister less than a handful of times as kids and I’m so grateful for that. I went one as an adult and tbh for fast food it’s kinda pricy & not good at all
@@WeThePeople11 That’s very true. I hate the food but I end up there every so often. I ate it as a child and it was actually quite good. I keep hoping to have that experience again.
@@WeThePeople11 this is the best comment of the decade. Thanks. The love for fast food is an illusion.
Exactly man none of the unhealthy crap even taste good it’s just the chemicals in it that keep people addicted it’s ridiculous how unrestricted it is
Ugh , yeah . McDonald's fries suck , I'd happily take my mom's baked chips over limp , soggy fake potato . And the meat ? It's worse than hospital food - like , really , I dont know why anyone would choose that over real meat that is - atleast where I live - much cheaper than a happy meal . We didn't have a McDonald's nearby until I was ten and even then when my dad gave in to peer pressure and took us there the only thing I could stomach was that tiny pie they gave on the side .
Obesity is also malnutrition. Malnutrition of micro-nutrients like vitamins and minerals. The hunger comes from this micro-nutrient malnutrition and they try to satisfy it by eating macro-nutrients like fat and industrial sugar...isn´t working.
High Carb low-fat Vegan for the win!
Biochemistry matters
Well said
Am french and went to Disneyworld in Orlando. When I got to Disneyworld I found that you had the choice between McDonald's and restaurants where the average price for a menu was at least 40$. Not being a millionnaire I chose McDonald's. After 4 days of à greasy breakfast at the Ihop that was in the hotel with 2 eggs 2 hashbrowns two strips of bacon, two sausages and 3 enormous pancakes I got back on the fourth evening and just asked for a salad and a bowl of soup. My pores were seeping out grease and smelled of the things I'd eaten. Horror !
Funny, we have a million Middle Eastern restaurant's here in the states you don't have to eat McDonald's or Ihop that place is discusting I don't ever eat there. McDonald's I eat about 3× a year, only moderation I eat junk food
So you wanted french pastries again and Nutella? LOL.
Folks better wake up and realize exactly what they are putting in their mouths. Children don't grocery shop or decide what they will eat. You have to teach them. Nutritious foods are easy to prepare. Keep fast food and man-made foods to a minimum if you can't remove them completely from your diet.
I honestly don’t think society, by and large, is going to wake up. When corporations are brought under control, and marketing is heavily regulated, then perhaps the stranglehold over consumers will loosen enough that people can think a bit. But it won’t happen spontaneously.
It's a shame your documentaries haven't gone viral (yet). They really should!
Proud former Coca-cola addict here.
Haven’t touched that poison in a year and I don’t miss it.
Same 😊😊😊😊
That's when you should drink soda once a year.
@@m42037speak for yourself
I find it incredible that India has some of the most amazing tasty nutritious food in the world and yet they are eating vile take away fast food....unbelievable!!!
Junk food is addictive and the more you eat the more you want and it's easy to get hooked and hard to shake p.s it's a hard journey once you are hooked but many things in life are difficult
@@marvinsmith6529 100% agree...this is where the parents need more control on the children's diet. ...I would imagine a lot of the older generation have never tasted fast food...its probably a bigger epidemic than covid
Unfortunately it's become a fad to emulate the western diet. I'm an Indian who will always pick good homemade food over fast food,and when I tell this to my relatives,almost all of them give a disapproving, almost disappointed look.
Even the poorest of the poor think of pizzas and burgers as luxuries, and dream of having it, without knowing the crap used to make it all.
@@praveengeorge8413 100%.
Unfortunately it's a sign of the times.

Fast foods and sugary beverage just destroyed my life. I was diagnosed with constipation 15 yrs ago i took it easy and today i'm praying price for it. I lost my 1 tooth, 2 RCT and 4 fillings teech due to cavities. Cold drink not just caused me cavities but also vit D deficiency and constipation. I'm now diagnosed with pelvic floor dyssnergia and epididymitis along with chronic constipation. Fast foods and sugary beverage also affect ur brain and gut health 🥲
It's never too late try to avoid junk food as much as u can and eat plenty of colorful vegetables and fruits 🙂
Most parents are so irresponsible!
they choose the easiest way to shut kids up by giving them sugary food/drink!
I am American, but I grew up overseas so I did not grow up eating fast food and junk food. When we would visit the states during summers I would get it everyone once in a while. I usually ended up just picking at it. Being overseas as an adult makes me sad to see how much this crap has infiltrated the rest of the world, and has now caused a worldwide obesity crisis.
All by design. Follow the money 😂 it's pathetic.
The more I learn about the food industry the less I eat 🙏
Eat potatoes Rice beans eggs apples bananas😊
When the mother says McDonald’s is harmless…bloody hell wake up woman 😮
In India today , you will definitely find Domino's , KFC and McDonalds in most of the metropolitan cities in today's world . The youth today usually are more cautious towards health but the obesity is already increasing and India is already the diabetes capital of the world plus CocaCola is found in every shop in India . Kudos to you for putting up this documentary for spreading awareness 👏🙏.
Yes , a similar thing to the west is happening . People just don't want to cook - like , who orders takeaway roti ? That's literally the easiest Indian food to prepare . Even if you're busy you can refrigerate the dough for three days . Also , mostly men living alone order food everyday because most Indians only teach their daughters how to cook and clean , they completely forget that in the 21st century boys don't get married at eighteen and therefore they need to learn how to look after themselves .
What is truly sad is that Indian food is amazing and healthy. It’s a shame the young people are being brainwashed into wanting a western diet.
Healthy??
I love fast food. But sometimes I forget when the last time I eat it. It’s just not on my daily diet. Our tastebud is determine by our diet, so don’t get used to it. Better choose local food and restaurant.
I think I'm lucky because I don't find fast food delicious. When I go out with my friends sometimes I have to eat pizza and McDonald's. For me it tastes like a plastic, i feel full and heavy but not satisfied. I love visiting seafood and steak restaurants, the food is expensive but it is way more satisfying. A good healthy steak and an octopus are way more delicious than fast food in my opinion.
Taking children to farmers market to buy fresh vegetables rather than supermarkets help in making the children like eating their fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are not distracted by the supermarket shelving of sweets and snacks.
The problem is not "fat" but hydrogenated seed and legume oils, sugars, grains, artificial ingredients and toxic chemicals.
Water is a chemical. Get some education.
my father is very stick in this regard and we eat outside food only once or twice a month, and after watching these types of documentaries I will try to reduce junk even more.
It’s shitty that all the food in the grocery stores are processed sugary junk. Everything healthy is so expensive
I am from India, I am 55 and sadly we are the last generations eating home cooked delicious indian food, my kids are in 20s and they eat both Indian and western junk (Mc etc) but their children only about 3 to 5 want only junk to eat. Later myself and wife stepped in and strictly banned junk and soda for everyone in our family now .
I am 53, from Germany and when I drive to the next big city I enjoy Indian food in the restaurant. Mc and burger king only 4-5 in the year.
Very good thing. Now they might feel sad but latter will thank you for it after they see others obese.
Its gonna Change... in a few years the government will realize, that this unhealthy Junk food is more expenwive than what they earn through taxes.. the sad Thing is, that IT will Take at least 10-15 years..
I am American and eat Indian Food from the restaurant about four times a week. It is the most delicious food on Earth and has cured me of craving junk food.
But Indian food is pretty gross
Regarding the overweight kid, people don't realize the impact that gastric bypass surgeries have. An acquaintance had this done and kept on with the junk food. The family was certain that the ensuing stench was the result of a sewer leak. Then the embarrassing truth came out :-/ 🤢
And what was that embarrassing truth?
@@untalfelipin5202 right lol
surgery should be the last resort
@@untalfelipin5202 the dreadful smell was her gas :-ñ
....well, what was it? Was he leaking?
The problem with third-world countries is you can buy a whole politician....
U.S.A also it's a Worldly Thing
Well stated .
The US has lobbyist for every brand under the sun, influencing policies. Pretty sure the EU does too. Its why these foods still don't come with the same warning label as tobacco.
Politicians can be bought in most countries
In the us you can buy a whole Congress.
When Capitalism and greed are more important than public health, most notably the health of children, we are completely lost. How did we get to the point where eating "fast junk food" full of carcinogens is more affordable than fruits and vegetables? To truly educate yourself about the madness of humanity is only to become completely depressed.
The most unbeliveble thing is that Junk food is very expensive in Brazil. Mcdonalds is asburdley expensive, like a meal for two ppl is 6% of the minimum wage here and most ppl don even get the minimum wage, Burguer king and even Pizza Hutt are almost luxury brands for mosts Brazilians so the fact the we, as Brazilians, still buy this brands makes me belive that its pure manipulation of media.
More numbers would be nice. Here in Germany ONE standard meal at McDonalds costs about the minimum wage - both are about 9 Euro.
So... TWO meals for the Minimum wage seems not "absurdley" expensive.
But more important: How expensive/cheap are other restaurant meals?
Are they so much cheaper? A pizza at a small pizza restaurant always was cheaper here in germany than a MacDonalds meal... since the 80s.
@@BoothTheGrey You dont get it, its not minium wage by hours is 6% of the entire minimum wage per month haha. A standard Meal is 40 reais and for a couple is 60 reais. Our miminum wage is 1.100 reais, so about 6% of the minimum wage. A normal plate of food in a "all you can eat" here is about 20 reais. Pizza Hutt here can go for 80 reais but theres some options for 40/30.
About the Pizzas: A regular pizza on a restaurant is about 30/40 reais. But you can go to a very nice "rodizio" (i dont know the translation) and pay like 55 reais and many waiters with many different pizzas will pass you offering many different types of pizzas until you explode. But still 5% of the general minium wage per month so is acctualy very expensive cause 75% of the population dont even get the minium wage.
@@Mentesestoicas_ uh - I see - the reais is about one sixth of the euro. So 1.100 reais are about 200 Euro.
The price 40/60 reais is more what you find over here in europe if you just adjust the currency. I understand now why you think the price for lower income group is too high.
Maybe... MacDonalds aims more the mid/top middle class or even the upper class? Which is a bit weird cause this is supposed to be cheaper fast food.
They dont do this here in europe and never did this. Hmmm... who knows what their master plan is.
Probably... it has to do with making as much money as possible ;)
Thanks for the little insight into brazils income dispersion. Yeah - its a shame how the normal people are pushed down with their income. Especially the european/american corporations could do SO MUCH to work together with the people for higher wages in countries where to many people get to little money. But they dont. The opposite is true. They are part of the peoblem.
We in europe and at other places had the luck to have strong unions while the employers were much weaker - so the worker could fight for much better situations and even some politic parties supported that - this is decades ago. Today this seems to be a story from a weird fantasy world. Even in europa they lowered the income for the lower income groups in the last 20 years. In germany we created the biggest low income group in europe and we... well... you can say we almost "stole" many jobs from other countries in the south europe where income but also infrastructure prices a usually lower than in middle or north europe.
All of this "working marketplace" is a world wide mess in "normal" jobs.
Do McDonald's, Pizza Hut e outros pode até ser, mas você não tá lembrando dos podrões de rua de bairro, pastel é o puro óleo vegetal saturado, batata frita igual, crepe, bolo de pote...Tudo isso é bem acessível hj em dia pra quem tem um salário mínimo, não existe mais o monopólio de junk food como antigamente.
its scary how people would go to surgeries rather than excercise.
It is apparent your understanding about weight loss, exercise and nutrition is limited. Weight loss is 80 % about nutrition, diet and lifestyle and only 20 % about exercise. I am 6 feet and weighed 145 Kg (320 lbs) in 2015 and at that time I was walking for 10 Kms in a day, going to gym for 10 hours per week but still there was no result.
Then I changed my approach, approached this in more scientific manner. Had get metabolism tested, every 3 months Hba1c tests, monitoring nutrition. I am 75 Kg now with lot of lean muscle. Exercise helps me retain muscle and control metabolism but main key is nutrition. From last 6 years, I have not touched wheat, rice, sugar, cold drinks, ice cream, fresh fruit juice (as its all sugar), sweets or any sort of fried food. The only time I had 2 piece of dessert was in 2022 when my brother was getting married. I work out 15 hours a week (3 hours, 5 days per week) that includes 15 Km (10 miles) of running, and rest all strength training and HIIT. I cook my food everyday, which is free from all sugar/oil that I mentioned above. I have not eaten any sort of outside food from last 6 years.
Not everyone can have this level of commitment. So the end goal is to loose weight and have healthy life. If someone achieves this by surgery, its still good. I know few people who lost their weight with surgery, and they are living a happy life now. And surgery is no magical wand either, it is just a tool. My brother had that surgery in 2012, when he was just 15 and had metabolic disorder. Doctor had given him 3 months to live, but with surgery his life was protected and now he lives a healthy life. But he has to follow strict diet to keep off the weight.
@@rohanbansal9563 good to hear bro ...absolutely loved your journey
I'm 33 and I remember when I was in middleschool, we had vending machines just outside the school doors selling Cocacola, etc.
There are high fructose corn syrup solids in baby formula so it's no surprise people grow up to be junkies for sugar.
Shame on Fast Food Chains and Junk food industries. : ( Disgusting!!!! I'm Not Surprised : as bottom line, it is NOT the well being of the Consumer but the Pockets of those taking the lead & owners of those companies .GREED !!!!
The pollution at the rivers is appalling. Even with no money can have respect for nature and use bins, can't they?
Naturally, not a word about dangerous vegetable seed oils.
I remember we visited America in 2001, and I wanted to try KFC, specifically the wings. They always looked so good.
When we actually tried them, they were oily, chewy and gross.. I thought we must have had a bad restaurant, but they we realized this is what Americans actually enjoy eating… omg.
Yea I can’t believe anyone enjoys kfc that place is nasty
lol, no one above the age of 12 actually enjoys KFC or most fast food. Most people eat it because it is fast, convenient and most are open 24hrs for drive through. Most people's thoughts when they buy fast food is not " I really want some delicious KFC". It is "I'm tired and hungry.There is KFC two blocks from here."
I'm American and despise this shit food has nothing to do with this American
I'm in America and I don't eat KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) the chickens are abused and pumped with antibiotics and growth hormone, I eat mostly organic ready meals for dinner (middle eastern food a lot) and Müseli and organic fruit for breakfast not fast food
Imagine how much more vile our fast food has become since you were here? It's almost unbelievable how disgusting most of it is now. Some of it used to be palatable 20 yrs ago. Now, it's not fit for any living organism. And it costs a mint. Whenever I want a burger, I have so few choices of where to buy one that is tasty enough to enjoy. It is so sad that American companies have sunken to this low.
Governments have to regulate fast food and a ultra processed foods. And parents need to take responsibility for their children.
My friend is a kindergarten teacher. Once she asked a mother if she ever takes her kid out of the house. The mother answered „of course, we often go to Mc Donald‘s“. The kid had never been to the woods.
I fully and 100% agree! I really have become disgusted with the food manufacturers, and they should be treated and regulated like the tobacco industry.
Parents also need to be firm with their kids if the kids keep pestering them for fast food or sugary things like soda, and even if the kids complain or protest, parents need to be firm that they should be eating mostly healthy foods.
Now I remember why I don't watch such videos/documentaries..it makes me sad ,I always felt like this from a very young age ,I remember Jamie Oliver trying to show kids back in the days when he was in his prime ,they never wanted to listen ..these corporations control the world now .
even after watching this, deep inside we are still craving for those kinds of foods...
and this is very sad......
Not everyone- I never crave it
It's poison
I don't crave it, I know it's poison and I don't want to eat poison. It doesn't taste good to me, it tastes like chemicals and garbage. Sure, sugar tastes good but if I want some sugar I'll make something, I'll bake something. It won't be health food but it will be a whole lot better than manufactured processed garbage. If you eat real food for a month, delicious real food, the cravings will subside.
hell no. fight it
Nope, not me!
I know it's wrong but I want it as well but I just try to keep fast food for special occasions
the real question is how are these brands not sewed for crimes against humanity
Exactly
What i have learned from this video is that education is powerful.
In my country the junk food industry are not allowed to advertise their products in the schools, this is good 👍
Small children can’t buy their own food. It’s up to the parents to feed them healthy food.
That teen boy could have easily cut calories and exercised that fat off. Nobody has an easier time burning calories than an adolescent male surging with testosterone. Shame on his mother. She’s about to find out gastric sleeves can be stretched and her son will regain the weight.
Fast food chains in Europe are on a serious decline. The golden years of KFC. McD, Burger King, Subways and co. are definietly over. People resort back to quailty food, both local and internatioanl cuisine. Sad to see the opposite happen in countries like India and Brasil.
Is there evidence to your claim? I don't see it in Germany. People's getting fatter and unhealthier all the time, exept for a minority of a sophisticated elite.
No they're not in decline at all.
Take France it's the one of the most profitable country for Macdonald.
Here in France we understand fast food aren't bad but the industry behind fast food chains are.
It's a question of education and regulation
I disagree.
In the uk it’s getting worse, we recently had Wendy’s joining this list of fast food chains here
I saw in other documentary how child obesity is huge in Great Britain. Besides the obese models providing a bad example for the public. At least in Wester Europe isn’t getting any better. Besides it won’t be fully removed as tourists & many immigrants eat fast foods. Maybe i can imagine that in slavic countries & smaller countries is less consumed.
As an american who grew up in europe, I think thats literally the only reason I'm not fat, because I had a mediterranean diet for most of my life, and it made me hate fast food. Moving to the US was a huge culture shock with how big the portions and how horrible the food is for you.
No no no, that depends on what you eat I live in America (Michigan) and I eat a lot of Mediterranean food also! I think it's better here than over there, what do you have just a small selection like Döner boxes we have Chicken Shawarma, Tawook, Kafta, much to name. I been to Germany I see the selection on the street in Berlin. You guy's eat a lot of cold cuts full of cancer causing Nitrates and high fat cheese. I eat Müseli and organic bran flakes and organic fruit in my cereal for breakfast with unsweetened almond milk.
More and more people in India should watch this video 😶 i never understood why KFC is so popular in india . I dont eat kfc chicken .. but mcd isy fav .. but after watching this video i will always reconsider my crave . Thank you guys for this video.
Brands have so much power it's terrifying.
well.. you point out all the dangers but .... you could show that the problem lies in the system in which the consumer lives.
imagine them investing that much money and focus on making us healthier not sicker. what a wonderful world that would be !
It wasn't the ads by the tobacco company that got kids smoking, it was watching their parents do it. God forbid parents actually step up and teach their children about nutrition. You weren't raised with good nutritional principles? Too bad we didn't have a vast, free database of knowledge that included videos and pictures and recipes and all kinds of information about nutrition.… and may be called it the Internet.
If we don't buy it, they won't sell it.
The parents aren't blameless in the first clip. I'm pretty sure they know how to read nutrition labels.
That is partially correct. Most people cannot even pronounce a lot of ingredients everything from box foods to drinks.
I think you can’t really blame them since they were never shown the real risk and danger of junk food. I feel like lots of parents are just trying to put a smile on kids faces not aware that they are really causing them harm and implementing bad eating habits. But of course they are responsible to show their kids how to eat healthy
@@nazekker182 That is true. The other problem is parents can't teach their kids what they don't know themselves.
That’s based on the assumption everywhere exists a nutrition label
@@werewolfstrike7 In Brazil things do have nutrition labels. However, there’s not broad nutrition label literacy.
I think it falls a lot to parents to regulate their childs food. There will always be predators everywhere. It's our jobs as parents to teach our children to recognize this.
I am praying for the whole world to have mostly good quality healthy food available for a good price. As a mum, i am fed up with going out with the kids and only being able to offer junk at playcafes, malls, swimming centres etc. I want more cafeterias like france and then we might have a chance.
I’m giving up 🆙 and boycotting all junk and processed foods including ice cream 🍨
Nothing wrong with a nice italian ice cream as a treat...too many people eat bad food every day tho!!

They too lazy to exercise. It's a mental disorder and he will fatten again.

Fats that are heat-extracted, boiled and cooled repeatedly and left to go rancid are terrile for the body. And that's common in industrial deep-frying.
@Skittles Agree! Dr. Berg, Keto and Intermittent Fasting saved my life! Went from 191lbs to 147lbs in 8 months - 2 years ago. Currently maintaining 150lbs and it's the best I've ever felt in my life - I'm 63 years old.
I don’t understand how these companies are to blame , they don’t force you to consume . Maybe society should teach people about health instead of useless subjects the majority of people won’t use .
The upper echelons don't want education to liberate the working class, as they claim them as their slaves in silence.
you DONT UNDERSTAND HOW COMPANIES ARE TO BLAME????
THEY MAKE THAT SHIT SUPER HYPER ADDICTIVE AND THEY GOT THE WORLD HOOKED BECAUSE IT IS ADDICTIVE!!!
Very informative and useful documentary! Thank you for opening the humans' eyes! I have learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of your documentary! Respect for France! Shame on junk food producers! You have no dignity!
But the nutritionist doctor from france is over weight himself? How?
Bit like the NHS here in the UK, more overweight Nurses than not
sir u r doing favor to humankind by spreading awareness about fastfood..keep it up sir..thankuh soo much
Very good documentary. Sincerely the companies only care about profits. The belief is always that they are not forcing people to eat their food. People take their own decisions on what to eat.
Like doing lethal drugs or drinking too much
These days everybody puts “conspiracy” in every shit…. This is just economics… like every drug seller, get them hooked and get rich, that’s it…
Thanks to the creators of this video for taking the initiative to make this video
Subscribed to curiosity stream but end up watching your guys channel most of the time. Nice work
Fast food is tempting, but when you put in the work and just cook yourself a good, simple and healthy meal at home and start drinking water and tea instead of those sugary drinks, after a while fast food starts to be really unappealing.
Excellent information. Thanks a lot for such an amazing video.🙏🙏
This documentary should be shown in every school, starting from primary school, through to high school.
Instead of indictrinating our young and innocent children into sex and gender confusion.
Unnatural food-like substances with harmful additives is the problem. Ingestion of prosessed seed-oils, and transfats - in combination with refined grains and sugars; this is what leads to obesity, T2D, and Heart disease (Metabolic Syndrome).
Healthy natural fats are essential for maintaining good health, while drinking refined sugar with high % unbuffered fructose, not only causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, but leads to chronic inflammation, suppressed immunity, etc. etc.
Also, it is not high time we stop blaming essential Salt for the harm done by non-essential Sugar?
Java Discovery: The Global Junk Food Conspiracy
Me: Puts freshly opened Coke away
I got a McDonald’s ad for the first time ever when I clicked on this documentary! Did the evil corporation do this on purpose!!!
Lol, after reading your comment I am hoping that I will also get to see one now.
Algorithms!
7:30 5000 Brazilian Real is about 800$ by the way. So CocaCola could easily give it to every school and wouldn‘t even notice it.
Nicely done, need to spread this more. Also SAVE SOIL !!!! All of our lives depend on it.
Stopped all carbonated drinks at home and have cut down on fast food. We have to start from ourselves
Well we have got to the stage where obesity kills more than smoking in most countries, how the fuck did we manage that.
These fast food companies know the full extent of the damage these foods cause. They prey on our gullibility, thinking that "its not that bad". Teach your kids or you are just as guilty as them!!
Unfortunately the only thing that will put a stop to this is if the families say NO, and the family learns how to cook delicious, healthy meals at home. It helps if you don't have a TV set or anything else that can advertise this stuff. I follow a youtuber in the Netherlands and am shocked by how many fast food restaurants I saw there. I counted 2 KFC's, 5 McDonalds, and 1 Burger King, probably all in Amsterdam alone.
wow! brilliant doccie, thank you!! kids follow as parents do, as a kid my parents lived healthy and ate healthily and it left us kids to love healthier foods. I really question if fast foods like mc donalds should even be allowed to 'feed the nation' if even mould is allergic to their burgers, as a burger left for a week remains as is! not hating of junk food industry, just why is this not better controlled. are our governments so busy with saving our countries that these crimes are simply ignored, or is their major earnings for goverments in is allowing this. I ask
It's NOT the " COKE" it's the SUGAR !! If Coke had NO sugar whatsoever... NO one would buy it.
I’m so thankful my parents only took us to Mc like once in a blue moon or so…it didn’t have that much of a culture in our post-szoviet union country in the early 2000’s to go out and eat junk often. Now as an adult I only eat it very rarely
And the worst, is that fast food actually tastes like sh*t. I once tried one and it was like cardboard, how can people eat that
I had eaten so called their junk burger, after eating I got food poisoning. Got sick for serval days then I decided no more. Proud on Indian hot and healthy meals.
Junk food, smoke, alcohols, drugs, poison etc bad things always sale fast.
Correlation does not equal causation.
You know you are more likely to get food poisoning from raw vegetables, right. That is what most outbreaks come from.
@@12012channel bullsh.
I don't understand: India has one of the best food on earth and they choosing this plastic (McDonald, KFC), etc....
I'm from Brazil and work as a paralegal. Funny enough Brazil has one of the best consumers law in the world, and it veemently prohibits advertising for children. Those who promote products and services for children have to pay some very heavy fines. Notice how the guy at 9:07 corrects himself from saying the target audience is children to teenagers? Unfortunetly big brands always find ways to promote their products and services at the expense of vulnerable people by saying they're promoting dreams etc. This is all very concerning
It's ridiculous that sports events and even scholarships sponsored by cigarettes companies/ sugary drinks company, some claiming as a healthy drinks for sport, some cliaming as a way to have good times.
Evil.
These fast food restaurants just about every one of us, have gone and eat through out the years and got obbese and some of us died, from heart disease and never got to see senior years. Please dont get you're kids use to fast foods.
This type of Documentaries i have been looking for a long time ,this is well researched and tbh This crony food corporates are slowly killing pur generation
Slow-form genocide.
I remember when India was about herbs and spices and and homemade food now it’s all fast food
One thing that is being missed is if we promoted everyone who drinks soda, to cut it with half water!!!
That is what I do, I never drink it straight.
It only took me a few weeks of drinking it with half water for my taste buds to adjust and get use to it.
That was a decade ago, and I find it’s more refreshing and healthy and less harmful for my body and weight gain and half the price and lasts twice as long!
If we want to save people’s health, we need to point out that the soda is sold concentrated and it not meant to be drank full strength!
my son does that with juice.
Junk food is not just a way to introduce obesity related disease into developing countries but also a way to introduce westernization and by extention, western values.
That’s why I’m glad I’m a plant-based eater and gave up fast food. I lost 20 lbs and feel so much better in general.
nothing wrong with grass fed beef,
Great documentary should be more like this
Wasn't aware of the "Nutritional double standard between India and France. I live in Canada.....seems we are also a part of that double standard.....and even we weren't aware.....maybe we should be !
What documentary !
Love from Kolkata India
The sad fact is India is being exposed to unhealthy fats such as vegetable seed oils and shortening (artificial butter) which have more trans fats. It isn't the saturated fat killing people. On top of that we are talking about countries that haven't really used enriched bleached flour up until now. Stick with healthy fats, real butter, and avoid processed flours because our bodies cant break down the other stuff and that is why there is an obesity epidemic. Fast food companies want to save money and cheapen on everything - including your safety.
i see it every weekend in the mall ........forget women even 14 15 yr old girls are fat like sumo wrestlers their fat bulging out of their pants ...their parents are LOVINGLY bringing them pizzas n burgers ...we also eat junk but occasionly
15:19 respect for putting up the picture
