I genuinely got shocked at the "less than 25% of americans walk for more than 10 minutes continuously"
IN A WEEK!
Insanity. 45 min walk everyday to school in england and it was normal 😂
@@kingzlayerch3817IN A FUCKING WEEK!
HOW?
HOW ARE THEY STILL ALIVE????
That means walks of over 10 minutes specifically, not the accumulated time spent walking that week, so honestly the week time period doesn't mean much here. Actually the stat also doesn't account for when they walk continuously for 10 minutes at least once in 2 weeks. Honestly, not that hard to imagine if you have been to countries with long distances that rely on cars.
@@Defathomize Hm, alright that makes it slightly better, but that's still horrendous. Like bruh idk about y'all but I literally CANNOT stay completely still for a whole week, I either need to work out, move or both. Sometimes I simply grab my headphones, stop doing whatever I am doing and go walk outside because I simply need to move, or when I go to university I ask to please be left at the entrance to the campus so I can walk or jog towards the building for a few minutes, and then take the stairs as to not have to use the elevator. The idea of less than 10 mins of continuous walking in a week sounds nightmarish.
I am european. I went to the US once and had diarrhea 4 times in 3 weeks. Thanks Delaware
😭
That's bros fault he went to Delaware
The US is a massive country, why would you go to Delaware?? It’s not even a real state. The joke is it’s just a tax shelter
@@johnpedouify I was supposed to be in Philadelphia but the plane got lost or smth
lmaoooooooo why Delaware though
So eating cheap american food for quenching hunger is like quenching thirst with seawater.
As it seems many didn`t catch this but I was referring to the point that they put additives in that food that make people hungrier, causing them to eat more than they should, much like seawater would only make you thirstier.
You hit the nail on the head, no, you even filled the fat American‘s stomach
Pretty much
Only sea water is actually good for you.

Great video. Im American and was obese by age 11. I'm healthy weight now at 20 and have been into working out for 6 years now. Losing as much weight as i have here is tough especially when youre eating food youre told is healthy but really isnt. Its beyond disgraceful what has happened to my country. I will be in europe soon for a while studying abroad and am very intrigued to see a whole new world, and the food not full of absolute trash. Cooking for myself is what changed everything. Things went downhill fast when we went from local farmers markets in towns to massive corporations feeding every american. Our guidelines on food should be much more strict similar to Europes. But our government is controlled by private companies so there is no changing that anytime soon.
congrats on your weight loss! I hope you'll enjoy your stay in Europe
@@chloeg.4640Thank you I appreciate that, also I am certainly looking forward to Europe. Couple weeks I'll be there, never left the continent haha but I'm excited
@@Pfuhler455 You'll most likely gain a bit of weight at first (not as much time to work out, fatigue due to adjustement, the appeal of trying new (and not light in the slightest) foods), but it'll even out once you settle.
Enjoy your stay in Europe friend. If you want some recommendations for any foods, let me know
Where in europe?
In italy we walk every weak at least more than 1 hour on saturday or sunday, america is just crazy they're not winning their battle against obesity, feel sad 😢
Yesterday I was walking in the centre of Athens and I saw two obese American parents with their obese toddlers, feeding them MacDonalds. They were literally less than a block away from quality, healthy food that tastes better and costs less. I was amazed.
They are probably used to McDonald’s anyway. As a travelling American (not obese one, skinny one) we prefer to eat at places like McDonalds and Burger King because:
1. We are used to eating at fast food chains, you can find a BK or McDonalds in every single town in the US, 10x more widespread than restaurants.
2. It's an easy and quick tasty familiar meal (not healthy one though)
3. We don't like having to be accustomed to a foreign cuisine depending on how much it differs.
Sounds like you don't know what freedom tastes like 🍔🍗🍟🇺🇲
Unfortunately a lot of people are afraid to try something new.
See the problem is that they don't know non american food and that the restaurant was a block away.
@@mangosteak by "one block", I meant towards any direction. Place is riddled with better places to eat
Just to add to the sugar addiction of the US. There was a study done to see how rats would react to sugar and coke (ykwim) and they found that the rats literally preferred sugar over snow. So sugar is so addictive that rats will take it over coke, considering how close the human biology is to rats, that's ridiculously worrying.
What’s coke? You mean Donk?
No they mean cock
😐what wait what your serious.
the sniffy dust or sugar and rats chose sugar?
wait what? how is that even possible? there's no way that's true...
As russian I feel sorry for americans that have to eat such bad food. Even in Russia a lot of people are addicted to american fast food but if you compare it US it seem like a very small amount of people😅😅😅

@@chasewilliams5128 So your solution is to deprive people that can't afford to pay more than two bucks a meal (one of the big factors for their obesity) from access to healthcare unless they... pay more? Which they can't do? Are we supposed to let them die?
@@k.v.7681 Don't believe everything you see on the media. America's a vastly different than what the media tells you , As far as health care, my healthcare is fine. I'd never went bankrupt, and I had four life threatening surgeries.
@@SmokestackOGDo you have a stable source of income? Would you consider yourself part of 'the middle class'? How much overtime do you usually do in a month? Do you have multiple jobs? Do you engage in physically strenuous activities (professionally or otherwise)?
Do you have a family? If so, how large is it? Do multiple people work/'provide' in your immediate family?
What state do you live in? What type of insurance do you have? Do you pay for it by yourself or is it provided by your job? Are you covered by state or federal public insurance (Medicaid, Medicare, etc.)?
I am asking these questions genuinely; I'm not just trying to be snarky. Sure, YOU haven't had any trouble with healthcare in the US; but is that because of the quality of American healthcare or does it rather have to do with you and your circumstances?
After watching the video I was a bit worried about Estrogen in food and went on a little google research. For those of you who were also worried, I found that
- There are hormones in meat (less in EU produced meat) but the by far biggest contributor to external hormone intake is milk and dairy products. Although the fat reduced variants contain significantly less hormones.
- To the question wether or not those consumed external hormones are disrupting our endocrine system my findings vary. But most meta analysis I found and all doctor's journals agreed that the effects are most likely insignificant as only a small fraction of those hormones actually end up in our blood. Most is destroyed by cooking and our digestive system.
- The biggest contributors to hormonal imbalances are obesity, lack of excercise, stress and bad sleeping habits. Compared to those factors, external hormones in food can more or less be ignored.
- Especially obesity is dangerous for men because the fat cells literally transform our manly testosterone into girly estrogen. So more fat leads to less testosterone.
Hope that helps. Please correct me if I'm wrong and you know more. I am also too lazy to list sources and most weren't in english anyway.
Its always easier to blame some external factors for your problems, i.e. the food has unnatural hormones in it that is making me sick, than taking some responsibility and and admitting that your lack of activity and poor dietary choices is largely responsible. No doubt Americans are given awful food choices and the worst food for you is generally the cheapest but the vast majority of americans have the ability to eat healthier after doing the bare minimum of research and exercising common sense but choose not to. Blamingg the food industry, healthcare industry, government agencies etc. is far easier
Fun fact: due to the estrogen produced during beer brewing, all recycled drinking water in EU contains elevated levels of estrogen.
Also, our bottled water is just tap water in a bottle.
also the estrogen from soy is phytoestrogen, as in plant estrogen. structurally pretty similar to the estrogen found in humans, but ultimately they don't have at all the same effect on us
@@HungerGamesFan88 phytoestrogen from plants foods like soy has many beneficial effects like a protective anti-inflammatory and anti cancer activity on breast tissue, prostate, etc.
2:57 This is exactly why pizza hut and domino's failed miserably in italy
I once knew an American guy who literally almost never drank water: "Why would I, when I could just drink coke/sprite/fanta? That stuff has water in it, doesn't it?" Idk how he was alive, but yeah, he was a BIG boy.
Definitely got heart problems
Here in Mexico I met someone in elementary school who was exactly like that
One time we accidentally bought a water instead of a coca cola for him. We had no money left so we told him to just drink it and we'd pay him later. He didn't drink it even though he was thirsty, and told us that he doesn't drink water
I wonder how his kidneys are doing
Be a good hydrohomie, shame your friends until they drink water.
Crazy.. Those things taste like shit and make you want to drink more because its all sugar. Tea is the best balance between the two.
@@bibliotheek357 Yeah as a kid we never had any sodas at home, and I only got to drink them on special occasions, for example at a restaurant on a birthday, but even then just 1 can. This was considered normal where I grew up.
As a rural Cretan, I can tell that Americans need some tzatziki and calamari, paired with some water and fresh tangerines. Κρητη μονο! Κατσικακια μονο!

@@kaijuslayer3334 yep, that's what I said in Portuguese
I was in U.S. for a month visiting my friend and I gained 10 kg just because of a big breakfast, big packages of food, no walking, no water drinking, 10 types of sugar soda at home, big portions in restaurants and more :D I have lost the overweight once I came back to Europe because I walk a lot in my city.
I was just a week in the US and came with 3-5 kg more back to Europe. And i never went to any fastfood restaurant. 😂
In a privatized healthcare system there is no incentive to have the citizens be healthy, quite the contrary, it is good for business to have lots of sick people. With a publically funded healthcare system like in Europe it makes economic sense to support policies that reduce strain on the healthcare system, so the system is biased to actually keep you healthy, instead of keeping you sick like the Murican system.
Seems a little reductive and one-sided. It could be argued that treatment-delays and overall care quality is higher and more efficient under a private healthcare system.
@@mr.goldenproductions_0143please tell us why that would be the case
Doctors make way too much money
The US healthcare is actually heavily regulated on the state and federal level.
The issue is that it's a jigsaw mess of private and public, where regulations drive up cost and the companies arent held accountable.
Way I see it, if you have a business that sells a necessary service people require to survive, ie Healthcare, water, etc., eventually a sociopath will take it over and monopolize it, then charge people ludicrous prices as they have no other option if they want to live. It's existence allows for power over people, therefore it will attract morrally corrupt people who will do everything they can to abuse it.
By having a well funded and regulated option available for "free", you reduce the opportunities for those situations to arise, although I guarantee there will be vile people that try to defund, discredit, and dismantle the free option to try and get their monopolistic grip on that necessity.
Plus, regulation is what prevents corpo rats from pushing out a dangerous minimum effort max profit product - like what happened when Thatcher sold England's water infrastructure. Quality actually dropped to the point where people were effectively getting untreated/unsafe water or outright sewage, but the lobbyists were making record profits on wildly inflated fees. There was no monetary incentive for them to provide a good service, so they simply didn't.
The worst part is, while there's plenty to go around, too many people are obsessed with ever-surging "profits" instead of improving logistics; as though they could pay off their moral bankruptcy with gold.
I moved to the Eastern World and lost so much weight😅though there are some "obese" people here its not terribly common like in the USA. The ingredients are very different here I spent two weeks detoxing from all the American garbage I was literally sweating yellow 🤢When I ate fast food in USA I got major stomach issues, here when I eat KFC I feel totally fine I am like WTH!!? Its crazy how sickening the food is in the USA. After watching this video it reinstates one of the main reasons why I left and don't want to ever go back 😂I would rather have healthy food than the "American Dream"
And if you look closer to what "American dream" really mean
It's disaster
(spawl suburb and car dependency)
As a Canadian who’s just lost a lot of weight and always thought the idea of beans on toast repulsive, your last line almost convinced me of its existence from a pragmatic perspective
I'm british and beans on toast is not eaten all that often here (at least where i am) its more just something americans whine about
as an american i am disappointed that none of the politicians on either side give a fuck about public transport.
well you can always move to the EU, we need people that can do math, weld, do plumbing, carpenting, install solar panels, or anything else. very easy to get work visa from USA, and you can escape your failed state.
Oil companies. If politicians support public transport they could potentially lose their lives, that's what happened to scientists who invented hydrogen powered cars
its not a very capitalist thing tbh
@@TheSuperappelflapironic
@coows while I agree the lack of public transport and its supporting infrastructure is a problem, by far the largest problem relating to obesity is the grip sugar lobbying has on the US. Sugary soft drinks are as bad, if not worse than alcohol and they really need to be treated as such, but the sugar lobby would never allow that.

The reason the American government does not care about it's peoples health is because healthcare is private instead of publicly owned. Out of all things health care is one of the worst things to privatize.

According to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, more than 2 in 5 adults are obese, and nearly 1 in 5 children are obese. Furthermore, 19 states in America have obesity rates over 35 percent, increased from 16 states just last year. A decade ago, no states had obesity rates above 35 percent!

United States, just search it up@@222MovieMan
Not to try and run defense for obese people but what tends to happen is that the definition of obesity gets changed and suddenly more people qualify and people will get spooked by the sudden increase wondering where all the fat people popped up from.
I know this happened around 2000 but maybe something similar happened again 10 years ago.
The fact that there are reality shows with multiple seasons about obese people in USA says a lot, it's actually crazy how unhealthy people are there. I think people in Eastern Europe where I'm from eat very unhealthy but USA is on a wholeee another level.

Dude, the ameno background slowed theme works amazingly with your memes
I think I'll speak for many of us Brits who have travelled to the US for short period (one of two weeks), be it for business of pleasure, and were horrified to find that despite eating a reasonable amount when there, ended up a stone heavier upon our return to old blighty. But being able to experience un-modified, 100% authentic Froot Loops like we had back in the early 90s was definitely worth it.

You forgot to mention about the reason Turkey is becoming obese lol; more fast food chains, more food/restaurants in the streets as well as people wanting to become more “modern” and choosing laziness. This is also seen in middle aged men and younger teens. It’s sad to see really :(
It's a problem everywhere nowadays tbh.. people would rather have a quick unhealthy meal than cook something healthy at home. Also every family owns at least two cars now, nobody walks anywhere.
@@Igor19485 It’s what happens when countries who were in the past undeveloped, poor and looked over at become suddenly developed, have a decent currency, and no longer looked over at have big brands visit them and make restaurants in their nation for the people who haven’t tried the food before to try it and once they like it they’ll start having more and more, causing obesity and a downright addiction to fast food.
@@Igor19485traffic is terrible here in my country. My family also owns two cars and a motorcycle. They urged me to learn how to drive. No thanks, id rather use public transport on my way to work.
Car dependency is a big problem too, like I've never seen a bike lane in turkey
I disagree about it being fast food related. In Türkiye the local cuisine is very much based on fattening carbs and oily meat (think about a döner for example). Besides that, since people are poor all they can afford are cheap carbs such as pasta and bread which they gorge on. Something else to mention is the gender imbalance for obesity where men are 20% obese but women are 40% probably since men go out to work more where as women stay at home and cook. Unlike most of the world, if I were to guess from personal experience, İ would say that obesity is far more prevalent in the countryside than the city.
I’m european and i wanna say that beans on toast are fucking absurd.
Glory to Moldova 🇲🇩
from UK and can totally agree from that.
I'm not american but it's probably not that bad, it's probably better on french bread though, my family used to eat it, it's also common in europe to eat bread with a lot of foods
from america god bless our mold brothers we must defeat beans on toast at all costs
Something as simple as fresh bread and olive oil is ten times more tasty. Only the British know why they like these things
i used to be really depressed about not owning a realiable method of transporation but I really do enjoy walking as it is relieving and since I do not have time in the day with college , work , internships and extracurriculars to go to the gym doing 40 minutes to an hour and a half of walking makes me feel good.
This may sound like a joke, but it isn't: I was already overweight when I moved to the US, and then in one year I gained 35 kg as a result of stop walking and mostly eating fast food. Then I went back to my country for a whole month for Christmas and I lost 7 kg. I might be the first person who losed that much weight over Christmas, instead of gaining it.
And it is not like I starved myself or anything. I ate like a pig, but I also walked everywhere, and what I ate was so, so much naturally healthier (meaning, that it was good food, but without double the calories due to High Fructose Corn Syrup).
My doctor calls it the SAD, Standard American Diet.
HFCS is EVERYWHERE. I bought bread crumbs to bread some chicken breast and IT HAD BOTH SUGAR AND HFCS. WHY??
As an American, I would also admit that our consumption of tea is by far iced tea sweetened so much you'd think you're taking a glucose tolerance test. This goes for our coffee as well.
Snapples are addicting, I started just drinking unsweetened tea. You kind of get used to the taste after a while.
@@johnt3psu I used to put 1/4 cup of honey in my daily 16-oz whole-leaf tea to bring it up to sweet. Once I stopped that I lost 15 lbs without additional effort. That was 3 years ago and the weight is still off. Some soreness in joints disappeared as well. I learned it takes way more sweetener to sweeten a liquid than a solid, like a cookie. If you can cut out sweet drinks that is a gigantic stride in the right direction.
@@thzzztthanks! I never thought of it that way. I go through periods where I give up soda but then I go back to it. I didn’t realize that liquids contain more sugar than solid foods. I will keep that in mind next time I want something sweet.

The only thing she have told me about her experinces there is that the food they ate at home and at school was trash. We're talking about stacks of chips, snacks, cakes, you name it. They also drank coke for every meal there since milk was "too expensive".
if you get stuck with a family that promotes eating this way then theres nothing you can really do besides eat less, but theres also plenty of ways to eat healthy for cheap in america as well
@@sumkid9263It's difficult when the trash McDonald's food makes you hungrier when you eat it.
@@brandonkibet3801 true it's really hard to get satieted eating fast food since it's just a shit ton of carbs and fats
@@brandonkibet3801 Sometimes you just have to accept being hungry
@@sumkid9263 bro wut a mcdonalds burger and fries is like 2000 calories lol
i feel sick for half a day afterward
I'm Brazilian and I've been living in the United States for 2 years, and I can say for sure, when I moved here, I "thought" I was eating the same amount as I did in Brazil. I didn't diet in Brazil, and I managed to maintain my normal weight for my height. but oh my goodness...I'm serious, 2 months later living in the United States, my jeans no longer fit me🥲 and I hadn't paid attention to the fact that I had gained around 5 kilos🥲 and I even "thought" I ate the same amount. And I say more, even reading labels... calories etc...There seems to be something in the food here that makes you "flame".. I don't know how to explain 😐 well, I had to go on a diet...😑🤷🏻♀️
The flame is probably from seed oils, for some reason almost any food you can buy off the shelf will potentially have them so you really have to go out of your way to reduce your intake of them.
They're bad for you because they basically mess with the ratio of other fatty acids such as omega 3 and also mess with how well your body processes the nutrients from food causing inflammation.
Dieting is tricky in the US. I know it is expensive but try to cook for yourself more often as it is really the only way to know what you are eating.
my European mind cannot comprehend the American food, I will decompose when I eat ONE American McDonalds meal.
not so fun fact, the island at 8:20 was a Japanese prison island known for especially terrible treatment of POWs. The 'Zamperini dining facility' is named after Louis Zamperini, an Olympic athlete and crew member of a B-24 bomber. He survived crazy suffering in Japanese hands after being shot down. The book and film 'unbroken' are about him.
He also met the funny mustache man once.

the Sugar Tax is literally taught in American schools as one of the reasons for the revolution lmao
wasnt it the tea tax?
@@Gigachad-mc5qzyes
@Gigachad-mc5qz there were multiple taxes like the stamp tax. But yeah, the tea tax specifically (or more like the repercussions that resulted from the Boston tea party) was sort of the final straw.
it sounds bad but nower days we have less obese people and more money to spend on the NHS because of it
7:08 here in greece it takes 10 minutes to walk to school
Okay I'm usually not into these type of modern meme kind of videos, but 3:27 the part with the sugar tax and imagining how americans react to it was simply wonderful 😂
Fun fact: England is also having a obesity issue in younger people
The average british diet is pretty dire tbh. Lots of processed food and beige food.
So is China!
when the mars bar got deep-fried...
The British economy is totally fucked due to 14 years of a psychotic government. There are people in this country now not having food to eat every day due to poverty. Watch general health levels crash here in the next few years.
Germany as well
I was telling my dad (he's fat I'm bordering on being fat, we're American) about this stuff. He got kinda upset with me and kept saying the same thing over over again "People here are more fat because they eat more," he was just ignoring the fact that Europe puts a shit load less of bad addictive stuff in their food, and I asked him to stop like three times then he stopped for a bit then he said it again, and I said "Dad, you can stop telling me this." He then said fuck you left the room.
"European junk food" is also unhealthy, but from time to time it's OK. We drive also A LOT. so, what you can do and it might be even cheaper than what your family is spending: Try to avoid sugar, especially stop drinking coke, drink water (or I often replace it with Gatorade -> here it has almost no sugar, read the label). Don't eat after 5 or 6 pm. When eating burgers, dont eat the bun (its the source of sugar -> Hamburger is from Europe and the innovation was just that a random guy added a bun to it - we eat also burgers without buns, and it is still superb 😂 😂). Avoid too many dips, sauces etc., use spices, they are also cheap and do not include fat or sugar. So, it can be fairly easy. Chips - eat them, but once a week or so.
The more sugar and fat you avoid, the better will be your taste after some time.
Easy and cheap food: Cook potatoes, add a bit of salt or sugar free joghurt or make an omlette without anything (no cheese, no meat, nothing, just eggs).. make pasta only with tomato sauce, thats it. Spices... as many as you want.
Check out some european or asian cook-books - they are awesome and almost no sugar or fat is inside and you can prepare it quickly.
The vegetables are probably the same as in europe, so there are tons of super simple and delicious meals. Meat maximum 2-3 times per week.
If you just try a part of it for say 1 or 2 weeks, you will start to feel better, more stronger.
Every time I visit McDonald's here, I feel so tired (and I love to eat it), thats why I do it maybe once per 1 or 2 weeks as well 😂 all the best from Austria (possessing also a heart-attack-cuisine)
@@sebaestschn1 Danke für die Tipps, Mann, einiges davon mache ich schon. Da ich Deutsch lerne, dachte ich mir, ich versuche es einmal einzugeben, da ich davon ausgehe, dass es Ihre Muttersprache ist.
@@ebenmoore9770 ja super, Deutsch zu lernen ist bestimmt nicht einfach. Planst du auszuwandern?
Ja, das Essen, das ist so eine Sache... Bewegung, wenig Fett, Zucker... bei uns ist "gesund Essen" auch sehr im Trend, allerdings weiß man meistens was gesundes Essen ist, weil man es noch Oma und Mama kennt. Früher gab es einfach kein Fast-Food und das bleibt recht eingeschränkt. Die Hersteller dürfen auch tatsächlich nicht so viel Zucker beimengen, was McDonalds bei uns vermutlich auch "gesünder" macht.
Alles Gute.
If he's acting like that it means he knows you're right and doesn't want to admit it. Keep at it and try not to be confrontational. You may save his life if you can talk him round.
@@snipermagoo Trust me he knows and is aware.
Mexican American here. I have tried beans on toast before and it's surprisingly good
Another big factor is how unwalkable the US is. Sidewalks and public transportation are non existent. But of course all of it is by design
American Foreign Policy in a nutshell: "Can't beat em' with bullets, beat em' with burgers".
God damn this is absolutely brutal
And based at the same time
I have never felt so roasted, but enlightened at the same time. Subbed.
I’m surprised the uk has an obesity problem considering our food is practically inedible
US ingredients lists are basically the periodic table in disguise 😂
😂😂😂
Every time I travel to Europe, I’m amazed at how good their food is. It’s REAL ingredients! Last time I came back to the US, I had stomach problems for 2 weeks. My intestines were probably screaming.
Feel bad for you bro, living in America must be dookie
@@BraveMoji it will def MAKE you dookie
Where tf did you eat
um actually it depends where you go sprinkled with luck
@@DanielKolbin Who are you talking about?
As an Australian high schooler studying nutrition in health class, I really wish I could show your video to my class.
To be fair, Europe has a super high variety and many choices of foods. From obvious British and Italian, there are German onion cakes and apple cakes, Hungarian foods, the whole Spanish cuisine, French, Balkan variety, Polish, from stuffed cabbages, meat loafs, stews, hearty goulash, till desserts without any sugar added.
I Used to live in the texan city of Hoston Texas before moving back to la Paz. Many Americans here had access to over 31 Kfc's, and dont get me started on how many mc'donalds there are. As a bolivian living through the concept of the U.S bieng the greatest nation on earth is very untrue as many people hear idolise and envy over the american dream, however, no matter where you are in the world the truth is you can make your dream if you make it your own and not someone elses.
As an American I would complain about the innacuracy of this video, but I’m too busy injecting high fructose corn syrup into my bloodstream
One of the funniest channels I’ve ever come across !!
This is the best video I’ve ever seen man, thanks for doing this for us and showing the yanks how the rest of the world actually views them
It’s so normal in America I feel out of place being skinny in some places
As a USA I can confirm I have to run a 90km marathon for every meal to stay in shape.
Thanks USA
7:10 i believe that David Goggins alone keeps the bar where is it now. Otherwise will plumet more
Let's add to the fact, that in US food companies put literally deadly compounds into their products, for example: in US Mountain Dew you can find bromine
As an American I came into this video expecting the same fat jokes I hear from everyone else. But this was a very informative video Geopold thank you. At least the positive of this is the more obese people the less people I have to deal with when hiking.
Made me remember on how grumpy I become some hours after a sugary meal - those food processing companies have so much in common with your local drug dealer. Could be worth a collab 👍
Thank you for proving me that I am rightfully racist towards Americans.
I'm Pole.
I can always count on your vids to make me die of laughter
American here. I lived in China for three years and was skinnier than ever. Now that I’m back working a regular day job, I I have to actively struggle to not buy one sugary snack per day. I knew about the marshal Islands being irradiated but I didn’t know how their food was replaced with processed garbage The more I learn, the more baffled I am by how anyone can actually be proud to be “American” in the first place.
Were you skinny in china because you were 'eating' cooked rocks or spicy ice?
Don't believe me? They suck on rocks because they have no food, look up Suodui. It's real... cooked rocks.
And if you don't believe me about them eating ice with spices (again, lack of food) Just google Chinese grilled ice.
The more I learn the more I understand why chinese are proud. Because if they are not, they are killed.
There's the truth, Wumao. Hey at least you still have the humiliating memories of being a 'white monkey' (their term) for them.
Yeah as a skinny American who does enjoy my fair share of engineered "food", I'd say the key really is moderation. Shit is so calorically dense from all the oils and shit you just gotta trust you've eaten enough because 1 quarter pounder is like most of a days calories but most people could probably slam 3 without thinking. Staying active is also quite important because you gotta work off what you eat regardless of what is it, your body stores what it doesn't use, aka fat.
People just need to read the nutrition labels. Obesity is really just an IQ test most of the time.
@@SomethingCool51 no cap 🤣🤣🤣
@SomethingCool51 don't forget self control. I'd argue it's equally as important.
@@SomethingCool51 Similar case in Japan, but it is more obvious what food is healthy and what food isn't.
@@shuenshuen I'd say self control and moderation are two sides of the same coin
people always tell me americans are fat. and indeed a lot are. but then I look at pictures of the average UK person and it's like, damn, they look just like us
This man's videos always kill me 😂 MERIKA!!!!!
7:08 that is genuinely fucking insane
As a British person who is not overweight I never want to visit america

@@heycidskyja4668 No, I'll have my Herrgottsbescheißerle now, thank you very much.
Indian, Italian,Thai and French food=best food
Russia, Hungry,Romania, Ukraine is 80% home food,not from supermarket
no way french food comes before spanish, greek, turkish or morrocan 🤣🤣
Here in the Netherlands fast food is plenty but people just don't eat that much or restrict fast food to once every 2 weeks
As an American I find it extremely funny that this video came out as I was eating a double cheeseburger and fries
There are a lot more details to add here, like the fact that the American food industry is absolutely *filled* with ingredients that are straight up banned in Europe.
Things like their orange fanta not having actual orange juice or even the most staple food, the bread, containing tons of sugar and chemicals to make it last and """taste""" better.
But I'm not sure about the taste, tbh. I've tasted it and it is just cheap garbage. Like, the moment you put it in your mouth and start chewing, your body immediately feels something wrong.
Or maybe it's just that I'm used to Spanish food and I've become too sensitive on that regard.
thats one of the reasons americans feel healthier and lose weight when they come to europe, and gain weight and get ill when they go back
In these days when everyone is so divided on political opinions I am extremely glad to see you taking jabs at every direction pless you good man 🙏😂
