used to eat fast food almost daily. Drawn in by toys, ads, whatever else. Been Obese my entire life, started cooking and preparing my own meals, excorcise, dieting, etc and have lost 65 pounds by now. not stopping till I'm completely healthy. : )
@TheCoastalAVENGER Congratulations! I wanted to acknowledge your accomplishments. I don’t know how much you want to lose but you are doing well so far. Great job! Keep it up! My weight Fluctuates every few years. At my highest weight I was 148 lbs. 148 lbs may not seem like a lot but I’m 5’0” and was well on my way to looking like a little butterball. I also found that I could not get back to what I considered my normal weight of 107 lbs - 110 lbs. I found the sweet spots of 119 lbs - 125 lbs where I look healthy and my body was toned and I radiated a healthy glow. Continued good luck to you. Always remember and never forget. If exercising and eating healthy were easy, everybody would be doing it.
@@texasrider8530 thank you! this whole weight loss journey has been a fantastic experience for me and the results have definitely driven me to keep going. I love meeting people who haven't seen me in a long time and hearing their reactions haha!!
Congratulations! It's a tough road but it's totally worth it! Plus, now I really enjoy cooking. I used to avoid it because I was too tired after work or school, but now I find it quite an enjoyable way to relax and unwind. :)
@@emilynicholson5437 Thanks! and you're right, once I learned how to cook even basic things I realized that fast food is a total waste of time/money/health. much more enjoyable to cook something at home :D
Still is that way at least in northern and central europe for most people but we also had years of education and regulations along with simply getting used to these things slowly and not all at once from completly home cooked meals to fast food everyday.
Yea when I think about McDonald’s I think about happy memories in the playground and just enjoying burgers and fries and having McDonald’s once in a blue moon. It’s hard to believe people actually like to buy McDonald’s every single day. So bad for your health
That's how it's like here in Norway, bringing the kids out to eat some hamburgers or pizza very rarely, at special occasions. Homemade food is still the dominant (and better tasting) option, and I don't see the kind of obesity here that I see for example in videos that show average people in USA, where obese people seem to be almost the norm, instead of the extreme. American "junk food" is available here, but more popular is Italian and the focus on quality raw materials and really tasty food instead of just sugar and fat.
Growing up, fast food was a luxury. We only had it once in a while if my parents had extra money. At that time, I desperately wished we could eat fast food often , but now I am so thankful that we didn’t have eat it too much. Home cooked meals will keep you at a decent weight and you nourish your body with real food !
Same. Going to McDonalds was a special occasion. Fast food was quite expensive when I grew up (in Europe). Still isn't cheap enough to eat everyday, but it used to have the price of a regular restaurant meal, while not being as filling. Which made people rather go to a normal restaurant instead.
@@ananya255 they ate everything natural 100 years ago and still died at 80 or 60. They LOOKED older too. At 40 they looked 60 plus. It's common now for 40 year Olds to look 20ish.
When I was little, my mum was VERY strict about eating junk food. I always got angry at her for not buying me Maccies (McDonald's), but now that I'm (somewhat) an adult, I'm VERY thankful my mum was the way she was.
Same, I've NEVER been taken to McDonald's as a kid. Meanwhile my classmates would talk about it and bring their happymeal toys to school. Birthday parties at McDonald's were the standard. I really felt like when I went to the swimming pool with my classmates, I was letting them down that it wasn't McDonald's.. it's weird how something like that became a staple in life. But in retrospect, I'm happy I wasn't raised on it either. So I feel you
I feel the same way. My parents saw Supersize Me and wouldn't let my siblings and I eat anymore Mcdonalds. My mom did a lot of internet research on health hazards and we had a lot of restrictions. Some of it was a little obsessive, but she wasn't too strict about it at least.
Somehow i feel lucky to live in indonesia. Fresh vegetables and fruits are cheap. Mineral water is also cheap. No frozen veggies needed. Fast food is quite expensive.
Yes. Tapi jangan lupa ada gorengan, martabak, minuman manis yg juga sama murahnya. Mindset orang2nya udh mulai berubah juga kak. Orang kurus hampir selalu dipandang gak sukses atau gak happy (terutama laki mungkin) dibanding yang gendut. "Kok lu kurus2 aja sih? Stress kerja ya?"
@@Gunso790 hahahaha.... iya makanya, sebenernya kan orang2 di negara asia tenggara dan timur pada khususnya punya banyak pilihan makanan sehat yang murah. Beda dengan US misalnya yang semua serba frozen atau kalengan. Sudah gitu orang2nya ga suka minum air putih. Tinggal mindset kita aja mau manfaatkan kemudahan itu semua apa nggak.
Corporate greed has no limits. It is revolting to even see this stuff. My 5-year old already knows that stuff sold in these places are close to poison. Thanks Endevr
You’re so right on that. I’ve come to despise the corporate food industry and I know based on hard evidence that they are the biggest blame for the obesity epidemic in many countries.
sadly it has become a privilege to eat a healthy, balanced diet. and some of those privileged still have the audacity to shame those who cant afford healthy, mostly vegan alternatives.
@@littlewammity9896 Not entirely. If you keep your portions under control you won't be hungry as often, leading to spending less. A banana is 22 cents. There are ways on a budget.
@@littlewammity9896 Nonense fast food is still expensive. Homemade stews/ hotpots and bread are still healthy and cheaper. When full working many have no energy/interest more to cook. Also we are used too much to sugar and fat intense taste.
I was shocked when the 15 year old was being sent for surgery for weight loss! Why are they pushing surgery instead of healthy eating and exercise?! That’s terrible!
Because at some point losing weight naturally just isn't possible anymore or it immediately dangers the persons health. Btw, the surgery still means you need to eat healthy and exercise otherwise you won't lose any weight. It just helps getting it off. It's sad, but in some cases it is necessary
The statistics on obesity are shocking themselves.. And seeing somebody at that tender age going under knives for weight loss surgery is sad, instead they must just introduce a balanced diet and exercises for him
@@michelleevans5531 Just like Americans can choose to not eat it. Yet, US faces the greatest obesity rates in the world despite being a first world country. The scientific truth is that junk-food is highly addictive. Also, kids don't have a choice in what their parents feed them.
@@BlastinRope You're making over-generalized assumption about some rando on the internet, which tells me you're a fool. I'm in medicine. It's true that US has the highest obesity rates in the world. It's also true that kids can't control what their parents choose to feed them. Denying facts won't make them any less true, you dunce. Go get an education. Your grammar proves that you need it. Lol
This made me really grateful that I wasn’t allowed any junk food til I was 18 lol. Like we could eat some on special occasions but that was it and in very small proportions. My mother always cooked for us and I’ll always be forever grateful. Thanks to her I never struggled with my weight and still am a very healthy individual.
this was all of us in the 80's. I told my kids we only went to Mc Donalds when it was some kids b-day party and they were stunned. They asked 'that was considered a party?' 😱🤣🤣🤣
In my part of Africa,fast food of this class is way too costly to indulge in everyday, that leaves most of us with the only option of cheaper stuff, and that happens to be healthier and cleaner.
I really dislike people that claim that they become overweight because healthy food is too expensive. For example eating those cheap cornflakes that are literally glazed in sugar so they at least taste good instead of the more expensive but healthier full corn cornflakes with fruits, berrys, nuts and fresh fruits. I eat rice with red onions and soy sauce in the morning! It not only fills you up good but it is even cheaper than those sugary cornflakes. Yes rice may have a lot carbohydrate. But this is still far better than industrial sugar.
@Harley Ed Thank you for the typ. But I am quite aware of Müsli. (i am swiss, it was invented in Switzerland) i am just to lazy to make it myself and to buy it is even more expensive as cornflakes. But seriously. If I could I would start everyday with some orange juice and Müsli. More delicious than all the cornflakes that exists.
It once was too expensive in America, back in the 70s. Don't worry friend, the prices will come down soon enough so all of Africa can suffer the same fat(e) as America.
Imagine someone candidly filming you on the beach and you think ur gonna be in a cute video or something and instead you find yourself in a documentary about obesity 💀
@George Mandrake When the response is the bare minimum it deserves criticism. Or you can just “be happy” with anything and let garbage slip under the door.
@@InnuendoXP it's like people think corporations are evil entities. They operate on the bottom dollar. If people want their product they thrive, otherwise they die. If they stopped buying McDonald's or fast food, it would go away. How is this the corporations fault by their ability to provide what the people want.
@@bentline look up manufactured consent. Also what people want and what they actually do rarely measure up. People aren't rationally driven, they just follow the path of least resistance. They don't get fast food because it's the most pleasant or the cheapest, they get it because it's consistent, easy & reliable.
We can't stop fast food restaurants from opening in our neighborhoods but can educate and encourage our children to stay away from fast foods as much as possible and develop healthy eating habits. Everybody has to take an action in this including parents, teachers, government and most importantly media.
We never had fizzy drinks as kids and going to McDonald’s or Pizza Hut was a birthday treat. I guess that’s why we aren’t fat. I worry about kids today
Growing up we were only allowed to have a can of soda on Friday night with our treat of a takeout pizza. Every other day of the week was focused on healthy cooking. Now when life is busy, you can get a burger for $1 without even getting out of your car. Makes it much harder to say no for today's overworked families. :(
Right! When did it go from being a treat to being part of people's everyday diet? Sadly even the salads at fast food restaurants aren't really that healthy
@Asherah 1147 we must have good parents. I Can’t imagine giving a baby coke it’s tantamount to child abuse. The kids I teach go to McDonald’s 3-4 times a week as a ‘treat’ Then they expect us to teach them when they’re full of sugar. Poor kids.
Yes, it is like a cycle of companies that make profit based on our bad habits. We must pay attention to our bodies and minds and see the way we have been manipulated from a very young age
You're right about that. Once they get them sick from all these junk food, the pharmaceutical companies will swoop in with all their side effects. Hook them for life with a gazillion pills.
I am concerned with everyone being fascinated with having a clean,clear, glowing skin... We are busy applying chemicals that we don’t even know their name to achieve a clear skin
@@kgabojacobeth2542 clear skin is a sign of good health if done naturally, you should not need lots of facial products, maybe a raw natural oil like olive oil at night but that is it
Yup, when you get diabetes type 2 from refined fructose and alcohol - then they'll tell you it's irreversible and gonna feed you drugs till you lose limbs, sight and die. While all you have to do is cut out those 2 things and eat better foods. It's 100% reversible. Cuz it's not a disease, just a result of visceral fat accumulation from fructose and alcohol.
We have a saying in Bulgaria, I'm not sure I'm translating it accurately and it says - Don't eat anything your grandmother wouldn't eat. And indeed, junk food doesn't even look like food to my grandparents, as if they still have some important instinct for self-preservation that we, the super-consumer society, have lost a long time ago. Thank you for the video!
I love that my parents made the effort to cook and to teach us how to cook. You save hundreds of dollars each and every meal and the quality is superb. Much better than anything offered in fast food restaurants. It's quite expensive when you consider the nutritional content and how long it actually fills you up, which isn't that much. Add on the costly medical bills due to poor health that come up later in life if all you eat is fast food, and it's actually really expensive
@@Legend1148 My family is two parents and three siblings. My parents had high-income jobs but we still ate in because of how much food cost going out in my town. We did not like fast food because it's gross and unhealthy, so we would go to nicer restaurants but once every two weeks or so to keep it in the budget. If your not eating in a McDonalds or some crappy fast food place than it can easily reach hundreds of dollars
@@Legend1148 Plus, you save hundreds of dollars via leftovers. When my parents would make salmon lets say, we usually have leftovers. Going out, to feed all of us, that salmon dish would be 25 per person, and there is five of us. So 25 times 5=125, not including tips, appetizers, wine, etc. You're already saving hundreds because you get way more value for your money. It's not hard to comprehend why it's cheaper
@@Legend1148 Even fast food staples like burgers are cheaper if you make it yourself when you factor in all the costs. At Mcdonalds, you only have to pay like 3-5 dollars for a burger. But how much meat do you really get? It's paper thin and the size of a small CD. Not much value. Making burgers at home means it's actually made of meat, it's bigger quantities, and you don't waste gas going to the fast food place. You can stay home and enjoy a good restaurant quality burger for half the cost and get double the quantity. Not a bad deal
Lol blaming the companies when it’s your own fking choice to eat Junk food. In a matter fact there are plenty of people who eat junk food weekly and have the body of an athlete.
Growing up my parents didn’t let me drink soda or anything like that and raised me with drinking mainly water…. Seeing how much people are addicted to soda shocks me
I remember @ Uni, I was in the Faulker English class, and there was this morbidly obese girl there who always came to class with a 2L of coke. It was pretty sad actually.
A Nanny State. We already have that. Not to worry. After the Vax Card we will be monitored on what and how much food, energy, automobile mileage, etc that we will be permitted to consume.
I'm from the Bahamas and I can tell you we have a serious obesity problem here relating to fast food. The most popular fast foods here is Wendy's, KFC and Pizza
I'll forever thank my mother for choosing me to learn her cooking. She knew she was dying and she told me that I would have to learn to cook for the family. She taught me how to cook so many things from green chili to hand rolled noodles. I remember it all, I don't remember the exact amount of spices and whatnot but the actual labor of cooking for a big family, that I do remember and cook for myself, my roommate, and my girlfriend whenever they are all over at my house. I think it's funny when I cheat and cook Ramen noodles and add some vegetables, proteins(like eggs or steak sometimes SPAM), and spices and they think I've made a 5 star dish but really it's actually an extremely bastardized and lazy dish I'll make when I'm worn out after work. It's the weekends I'll make some real food. Like true homemade pizza, with myself making the sauce and dough all by myself. It's a labor of love.
I was surprised at how many older women in the USA don't know the basics of cooking. I got confused one day about if I needed all-purpose or self-rising flour to make a cake so asked a few older women and they looked at me as though i'd asked them to do calculus.
i was “addicted” to McDonald’s for a long time, it started to make me feel weird, like no matter what other foods i ate i still felt hungry, the only thing that filled me up was McDonald’s. luckily i pushed through and broke that “addiction”
That is really interesting because I have the opposite - whenever I eat in MD I feel like I ate some "empty" food - my body notices it didn't get any good nutrients. I still like to eat in MD though, like twice a year or so 😄

The unhealthy food to always tasty..in Africa we are more into fresh foods and even if we have the fast foods this is mostly for the rich .funny but being overweight today in Africa is a disease for those that see you .
Exactly. People are just too lazy to take the time to cook. It's also a fallacy that a fast food diet is cheaper than fresh food. It's not. Eating fresh fruit, veg & meat is cheaper. But again, people are just too lazy to take the time to cook
@@eoinoconnell185 sounds like a lot of unnecessary judgement coming from what is definitely a single perspective if you would cite the relative costs of goods

@@koushikdas1992 it's not as simple as "indians worshiping white people" western products are valued in a lot of developing/poor countries. Not just india.
3:16 McDonalds made a counter film to Supersize Me and pushed for U.S. schools to show it alongside the former. They also provided meals for calorie-counting exercises at fat camps in the U.S. Also in schools, the FDA approves whatever the lowest bidding name brand is, so brands compete to provide to schools with the cheapest ingredients for free advertising. Despicable
Junk food fills a vacancy. Always remember that. If your fresh food is expensive; if your people are overworked to the point that they cannot cook when they get home; if you do not make fresh food readily available, then you create an opportunity for fast foods.
Candy, hamburgers, pizza and a cola are treats to have in moderation. I drink a can of soda every day but I don't eat those foods every day and I also exercise daily. If everyone didn't overdo it there wouldn't be any health problems.
jesus christ you people don't understand simple food science. its a sucessful business model because its given to you on demand and has absurd amounts of sugar in it. look at what sugar does to the human brain
Ridiculous. Veg is insanely cheap, cooking is simple. Lazy is the word you are looking for. You should quantify which country you are making that assertion from.
I lived in Brasil and the volume of coke that they drink was obscene! Being Irish and growing up with soft drinks was one thing but the Coca Cola company are deliberately and aggressively pursuing a policy of domination in South America which will see diabetes and obesity reach US proportions in a decade.
It makes me very anger that the Brazilian government is allowing this tragedy to happen in the country. Brazilians gave always had healthy diets. The US companies such as McDonald's are destroying the world.
@@pipocadock7094 Those people can decide to put down the fork and not eat that food. I very rarely go out to eat. I prefer my food I cook myself that is fresh and from scratch. No one is holding a gun to my head to eat junk food.

I feel so lucky having been fed by my parents fresh fruits and vegetables and mostly home-cooked meals. Junk food was occasional treats when cousins were around. If majority of the population are like me, these fast food stores are out of business now ☺️
In 1999 when I was in 4th grade at a small private school in Norton Massachusetts, they had us do a blind taste test of Coca~Cola and Pepsi. Whichever one we preferred, that’s who we wrote a letter to complimenting them on their product. I remember that myself and the other kids who wrote Pepsi received no reply where as the ones that wrote Coca~Cola received letters thanking them, coupons, t-shirts and other marketing merchandise. All of the kids including myself got the impression that Coca~Cola “cared” for their customers and appreciated them unlike Pepsi… scary to think of how much influence these companies have at such an early stage.
doing a blind test beteen two junk food brands at school, really, that sounds wild from the perspective of the average french, no junk food brand has any business inside a school or public institution, no matter what.

I'm Jamaican and we make sure we tell everyone that fast food causes disease and I'm not sure about anyone but I only had junk food on special occasions like school trips and birthdays. When I moved to the U.S, the most affordable thing I right now is junk food and my body has blown up so much and my health has gotten low
I kept wondering why my grandkids always want something to eat when they are on their iPad? Now I know. They are bombarded with junk food ads. They are already addicted to the internet and junk food. Like other young parents, my daughter is too busy to notice that the internet and food manufacturers are literally killing their children day by day.

I moved overseas to a developing country and lost a ton of weight, mostly due to change of diet. Sadly, many of the children in the country are eating nothing but junk, and I've noticed locals are packing on more pounds as more western chains and fast food restaurants are popping up everywhere.
Human stupidity (weakness maybe) is the problem. I agree that refined sugar and tobacco are bad for your health, don't use them and take personal responsibility, don't blame others (business) for peoples bad choices.
That statement about, "From no food to bad food" is so true. And it's a shame coz you can't necessarily price fast food up. So ultimately it'll always be a cheap go to option for people who are poor or simultaneously across the demographics when you want a quick meal. Coz even for me before I started eating a lot healthier I found myself eating fast food a lot because of lifestyle, where I'd just be too busy to care about cooking coz I'd come home late from work and so it was easy to just grab fast food be it a cheap meal or a more expensive meal. But eventually I started eating a lot healthier and doing even meal preps to stop myself from getting into that habit of coming home late from work and just going for fast food rather than warming up a meal from prep. It's gonna be one of those things that I don't think we'll ever get under control necessarily coz even with the whole healthy choice movements some people aren't fortunate enough and have other things to worry about that may then lend to unhealthy eating habits. Hopefully though it eventually goes back into what it originally was of being like a special occasion sort of thing and not a "imma eat this every other day" kinda thing 🙏🏿❤️
The Brazilian CocaCola campaign is clever: build a strong emotional memory connection by linking to the competition…a virtually permanent physiological association formed between the product and memory.
Coca Cola is repulsive and its marketing campaigns are unfortunately very clever. It’s sad what you’ve said they are doing in Brazil, where they know football, sports, competition are an importan part of brazilian culture as I understand. Same thing that they do at a global scale every Christmas, bulding an association with family, love and hope. I hate Coca Cola, in many third world countries where the company is settled as in industry they devastate the ecosystems too with garbage and deplete and waste water.
It's genius. The French are trying to say it's a bad thing, but at the end of the day the product is just sugar water. There are much worse things those kids have to deal with in Brazil.
True and they even appear as the "good" guys since they sponsor the event and even give monetary prizes to the schools who are in despereate need of that money because their government is busy signing corrupt deals with big companies like coca cola instead of focusing on education. Plus the price money is literally less than peanuts to coca cola compared to their revenue
advertising to little kids maybe to get then saying that. they always try to think of new packaging for products. drinking coke all of the time cokes and not water they said causes appendicitis where they have to have their appendix taken out. a woman she had her's out that's how we knew that. they said if she didnt' go to the ER that her appendix would have burst and she'd have died.
@@dinacharlayne1912 i had that problem too ready to burst. I had to beg both parents to take me to a hospital. I felt like i was going to die from the rediculous abdominal pain 2 weeks later. i finally got to a hospital.
Education should be Brazil and other countries in a similar situation first and only priority at this stage. It's the only way to combat an issue like this. Even as a kid here in the states I knew junk food wasn't healthy, despite it being advertised as simply meat, cheese and bread. That was due to education though and my parents knowing such. I wish Brazil the best with this problem. It's going to be an uphill battle, especially with how addicting fast food and junk foods are.
All parents need access to the resources and education to make the right decision for them and their children's' diets without it breaking their wallets.
"People are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food." Wendell Berry
The irony right? More research now shows that the type of food you eat impacts the gut microbiome which affects your mood/mental health. And you wonder why the USA where almost 3/4ths of the population is either overweight or obese is ranked top 3 on mental health issues and substance use like opioids and heroin in the entire world. And when you go to the doctor, they rarely go over the diet because 1.) they're not taught much about nutrition in school and 2.) patients get offended or don't take you seriously if you tell them to eat healthier.
No, both industries are owned by the pharmaceutics industry that creates pesticides, herbicides and other artificial chemicals put into you food as well as the medicine and equipment used to treat you. Why wouldn't they want more customers and work together?
As a Brazilian I can say that the reason a lot of adults are overweight is because there is a *HUGE* culture around beer. People drink beer whenever they go out with friends, when there is a soccer game, if they plan to spend the day at the beach, if its sunday... Like yeah Brazilians are known for being soccer-obsessed but they didn't show how much the beer industry is linked with soccer in Brazil. Boys playing soccer as a kid grow up to be men in bars drinking beer as they watch their team playing. Now days McDonalds costs a fortune, someone living of off a minimum wage isn't going to spend on one McDonalds burguer the money the could use to buy a pack of rice for the family.

I grew up in the Bay Area, CA, and I can count the amount of times I've had fast food on one hand. It's amazing how much culture, education, and economic status affect the rates of fast food consumption and resultant obesity among populations. When I travel to certain low-income towns/neighborhoods the amount of fast food joints I see doubles.
38:10 the Boy litterally telling his mother That his Game psychologically triggers him to want to eat fast food of a specific brand... and she just scoffs as if she was saying „what do you know? You are the Child, I am the parent, and I approved this game, and I am right!“... adults are so ignorant when they made up their minds, it is mind boggeling
I agree. But sometimes it is the other way round. My daughter who is just 12, wants things or want to do things that I beleive she is too young for or that it is not safe for her. So far I am managing to convince her but when she looks at her friends, she finds their lifestyle more appealing. Lets just take the example of a smart phone. I dont beleive that a 12yr should have one. It is not only safe but she doesnt even need it at this age. Our children are becoming like adults at 12. When I discuss with her friends parents - those that are sensible - tell me that they are losing control over their kids. One of the reason is the new laws - schools are asking children if their parents are mean with them, spank them (of course I am against abusif parents but ffs a slap is not abusive) and so on.. when children see that society is with them, they rule their parents. Some adults are messed up in the head and some, genuine ones, are losing control and they are not at fault. Basically, we are builing a VERY f**ked up society for our children

I was shocked when i realized many don't understand how bad soda is for you. My father in law here in the USA even doesn't drink water only drinks soda and he said its fine because it's a "thirst quencher" (says that phrase on the bottle) i couldn't believe it.
It's terrible for you. Me and my bf are both caffiene addicts. For me, coffee and soda sometimes. For him, soda and tea. Both drink energy drinks. We know most of this stuff is bad for you. But we still drink them.
Thank God I suffered from diabetes and later changed. I learnt how to eat healthy. I cut out sugar and use unrefined sea salt . I feel healthy this days. My child used to cough every night, but since I cut off ALL sugar sweet stuff, the problem ceased. She only goes to school with a bottle of water. She is now emotionally and psychologically stable. For heaven's sake leave junk food and eat healthy stuff which is cheap in the long run.
I notice that too. My asthma is worse of o est junk food and I cough a lot at night if I have too much sugar. I'm fine with organic honey amd agave and small amounts of sugar in home made goods. But the store bought cookies amd chocolate with extra junk amd chemicals makes me cough and triggers acid reflux which then makes me wheeze cuz I'm asthmatic and inhaling my stomach acid. It's a vicious cycle. But like you I'm glad I'm aware of these things so I can do better to take care of my health.
Barua, congratulations for making good choices for you and your child!!. Your example really is the solution to the problem. Ppl taking personal responsibility for their choices and the consequences that come with the choices; not blaming society, the government, capitalism, or anyone else for being "victims". Small changes can have huge benefits for those wise enough to discipline themselves. Your child will have a better overall life by following your example!!!
@@loryndabenson2118 Hey, we have the same condition i think. I have asthma too Lorynda and also GERD. This condition lead me to eat more healthy by cooking my own fresh food. I have asthma since i was kid, maybe about five years old. Because of that, i never have cheese burger of my entire life 😂. One time, i really want to taste some fried chicken (you know the brand ofc) in fastfood restaurant and ended up having an asthma attack. Lol :'(
@@rizkyrahmalita772 its crazy how the fda tells us these overly processed foods are safe to eat when they clearly aren't. If you want to try homemade cheese burger there are some good organic vegan cheese options or you can make at home if you like to cook. And you can yse ground chicken or Turkey to make your patty and make the buns from rice or sweet potato or yams. If you doubt eat meat any combination of nuts/or beans/pureed veges you can use to make a vegan "meat" patty. Walnuts/black beans being the easiest recipe I've seen and then just add whatever herbs and spices for flavor. It's best to make at home cuz even the vegan food at the grocery stores a lot has added garbage to it that can make your asthma flare.
I could still remember those days when Mc Donald's and KFC first came to South India. OMG we used be after our parents to take us there.. it was so much addictive. I knew friends who had it literally every day.

While the US has gone through a phase where everyone got fat, I have noticed a trend of fitness being cool with the younger generation. Eating is still an issue, and schools should emphasize more on teaching nutrition and proper eating along with teaching how to manage your finances, investments, and general finances. I think this would help the upcoming generations so much.
We're in the middle of a cultural transition. Food culture evolves more slowly than technology. We have cuisine developed with the assumption of long hard working days that require densely caloric food. And we have cultures based on the idea that food is scarce because until recently it was. Fast food companies and other restaurants have commercialized that cuisine and made it readily accessible, but really it's a reflection of what people would be preparing in their homes anyway. It's going to take a while for the cultural change to happen.
We'll only know in many years if that trend reverses the obesity trend in the US or ends up creating new addictions. I'm afraid you are over-optimistic or guilty of giving too much importance to a few outliers. Very few countries in the world have been able to reverse obesity - Denmark, South Korea - only with strong political intervention that is non-existent in much of the world.
@Epicdude did they teach you how to treat burns? You seem like the kind of person who just blurts out mean-spirited bigotries in a desperate attempt to disguise your complete and utter lack of personality so I imagine it's something you're accustomed to.
I grew up in a poor family, so eating fast food or drinking any fizzy drink was only a dream. Now as an adult, I'm still fine without it. Healthy balance diet and regular exercise is the key.
Rich people usually buy high end brands that contain more organic ingredients in their grocery baskets. Also they are likely to dine out at restaurants, eating freshly cooked food. That is more healthy than fast food.
@@fredgalaxy7632 Those are rich people in Rich countries. Rich people or well to do people in poor countries think eating like westerns is a status symbol.
I'm from a developing country and this is how I used to think about fast food 18:03 since they usually have their stores located at populated shopping malls, also with half opened kitchens so they seemed clean to me and this became the main reason why I preferred chain fast foods over a lot of other local restaurants. But later on I acknowledged things like the nutrition in fast foods and the general ideas of processed foods, I rarely visit fast food places.
The truth is if you eat at an international fast food brand anywhere in the world the hygiene standard is high, doesn't mean perfect but the standard is known especially for any tourist. Nutrition on the other hand is variable and tends to be as bad as the national government of a particular country allows. In the wealthy world it seems the US has the lowest standard.
A main factor is asymmetrical information. Parents don't get properly informed (by the government and the companies) about health issues that can be caused by excessive consumption of sugar, fat and saturated fatty acids as well as salt. So the government might be the one to blame
These multinationals bribe the government officials/politicians to bypass all the safety stops. They also have all sorts of promotions to get them started. Once they’re addicted, especially young, then they have a customer for life. They also steal water from locals, sometimes in drought areas where people lose their ancestral farms and livelihoods. There have been all sorts of cases where they come in and kick out the strong politicians that were standing against them and put in proxies, which also leads to other issues those crooks create afterwards. There’s a lot behind the curtains.
Back when fast food and processed food began parents didn't have enough information. Currently, lobbyists work very hard to control information so people keep rationalizing. As well,, the food is addictive AND television has subliminsl messages to lull you into comfort. That's the downside of Free Marketing.
I'm 73 and i got up to 209lbs after I became disabled after a work injury. I don't like the taste of California water and would drink cokes. I stopped drinking soda and in six months I had lost the weight. Dropped below 130lbs and still couldn't be physically active.
@troy krentzs That's the problem with soda. People can easily drink 2 liters of soda in the same time they would drink 0.5 liter water. Soda makes you more thirsty so you drink even more to quench the thirst.

Agree ! The secret is adding FASTING to your lifestyle . It was the only way I was able to get rid of food addiction . You do not realize how addicted you are to food until FASTING becomes part of your lifestyle 👍
I'm so thankful my parents didn't keep snacks or soda in my house until I was old enough to know about nutrition. Indian home cooking is delicious and healthy :)
I growed up with my grandma always buying fruits and vegetables, and she chopping them for me so I had to eat them always after lunch, thanks for everything Margarita
As a professional Chef, "real food" is the standard in our house, like i was used to it from my childhood. My first McDonalds was when i was 16.

@@veganaise2383 I disagree, many people find that complete exclusion of animal foods from their diet negatively impacts their health. That was the case for me, and it was heartbreaking to learn. Plant based nutrition may be working for you, but it's simply untrue that it's sustainable for every person and claiming as much can really hurt people. I used to make the same claims before I realised how I was damaging myself.
@@Mejoche I think factory farms are atrocious, we agree there. It doesn't follow that all animal foods are harmful or unnecessary, my experience and that of countless others is that they are necessary and nourishing to the human body. If it's working for you, I'm genuinely happy for you. Pushing it onto others and insisting that you in all your wisdom are right and that no one needs animal foods? It makes you look foolish to anyone who's lived experience tells them otherwise.
I was so shocked on the result of the lab that the "pizza" didn't contain any cheese at all, not to mention the exorbitant amount of fat, and other chemicals in them. That's what they're feeding to their consumers?! I feel disgusted :/ People need to consume real food with good nutrition, not these junk. Goes to show how powerful these companies' marketing strategies are. It's so effective.
@@corriedebeer799 Well real pizza isn't the healthiest nor is it unhealthy. It's basically bread, tomato sauce, and cheese, which all three are healthy ingredients when consumed in the right amounts, and whatever else you add on it can change it's dietary makeup. If you add just basil, mushrooms, chicken, olive oil, garlic, then that's a pretty healthy meal right there. But if you add bacon, ham, bbq sauce, buttered crust, etc., then you have a pretty unhealthy meal. But my point is the fact they're using some chemically-made ingredients to replace natural and healthy ingredients like cheese, is the problem. Pizza isn't unhealthy as a dish itself, it's how you prepare it, the type of ingredients you use and add on it, and how often you eat it in your diet.
@@alistairt7544 All pizza is unhealthy. A slice of pizza has anywhere between 300 - 400 calories in it. An intense 45 minutes cardio session burns 600 - 800 calories. A whole day's worth of exercising can be undone by two slices of pepperoni pizza. Pizza is one of the worst things you can put in your body.
@@corriedebeer799 No it's not LOL. I guess you are American and never tried real, Italian pizza. It mostly contains healthy ingredients like Alistair T mentioned. The problem is the superprocessed ingredients that can turn even a salad into an unhealthy meal. As long as you keep it natural and the rest of your diet is a healthy one, an occasional, authentic pizza is fine.
@@aliena2.031 I guarantee you you will never lose weight if you eat pizza. Authentic or Unauthentic, you will remain unhealthy and overweight if you eat pizza. Some Papa Johns's pizzas have 3K worth of calories in them. I currently only do about 1.4K worth of calories per day, Just so I can be in a calorie deficit

I was pretty shocked visiting India after 12 years (2018, last time being 06) and seeing how quickly American fast food brands had taken a tight hold on India. Tailored menus, higher fat/sodium content, MUCH cheaper prices to appeal to locals... Almost terrifying.
@Bożydar Grabowski point being they'll try to sell food at relatively the same cost where they can. In the US people will piss away a few dollars on fast food and I was shocked that it was similarly affordable in India to go to McDonald's or dominos etc.

@@justinsnider9772 OMAD (one meal a day) has so many health benefits, you'll have to research it, it consist of giving yourself 1 hour in the day to eat a big meal, and then fasting for the remaj of the 23 hrs. You can drink water, coffee, and zero calorie energy drinks like Aspire. Bro you get such a good rush from it. Kills depression, increases your energy, removes anxiety, etc
@@BinaryTechnique I gotcha, similar to intermittent fasting. Have quite a few people I know who do that. I usually eat one large meal a day but I snack quite a bit the rest of the day.

I've lived in both Singapore and Canada and the difference is astounding. In Singapore, convienience stores offer cheap healthy choices like japanese onigiri for 2 bucks (my favorite), sandwiches etc and sell non sweet drinks like green tea. In Canada, convince stores mostly sell corn dogs, pizza etc, healthy foods are almost 10 bucks, no other choices than sweet carbonated drinks. The west should really try and become more like Japan, Korea etc by making good healthy foods more available and affordable.
Healthy food are almost ten bucks, yeah right where do you shop? You can buy a pound of bananas for 88 cents, a dozen eggs for 3 dollars, a pound of apples for less than two, five pounds of potatoes for less than four dollars, just small examples of healthy food that is easy to find and that is cheap at any grocery store. Apparently people in Singapore shop at different places than we do, not sure why you would find that so astounding. There are many aspects of living in Singapore that no Canadian would put up with for very long.
@@freddexta3363 im talking about convenience stores not the supermarket, and neither am I trying to attack another country 🙄 Why tf you gotta take it so personally lmao Supermarket food and convience store / fast food are different.
I agree...Korean convenience stores have rice rolls (kimbap), microwavable chicken breast, roasted eggs, and microwavable lunch trays. At least there is an affordable choice in the stores.
It's being done on purpose, don't you understand? The West wants more sick people, it gives more reason for the doctors and pharmaceutical companies to kill you slowly with their pills.
Subway has a LOT of sodium in its breads, meats, dressings, and cheeses. Plus, chemical and preservative additives. Added sugar gets a lot of attention, but added salt and fat are still just as dangerous. Is Subway a healthier option because it offers veggies, yes. But nothing compares to home cooking where you can control the ingredients.
44:00 basically talks about training kids to enjoy seeing a logo, like when you train a dog by using a treat to make them sit, speak, shake, etc…this is sick.
How about teaching your kids what they're doing? Most of the world has access to the internet and are able to learn from videos like these. It's a basic learning curve. They are enjoying the options from globalization while developed nations judge them for enjoying their own foods.
This method is called conditioning, and our environments and parents condition us to act certain ways and believe certain things, and as adults many of these behaviors go unnoticed, unchallenged, or just become so engrained in us that we can’t stop acting those ways. Conditioning is not necessarily bad as it is used to adapt to the environment and adopt habits and skills required to fit in and do well in our circumstances, but it can be abused and manipulated. Humans get conditioned easily, especially with our reward system, which is why social media tends to be addicting and why software programmers make it more addicting to increase usage. It is unethical, and it is a capitalistic way to manipulate human psychology for profit.
@@bentline what can you teach a 5-6 year old?? All they see is shiny and they want it too. They like it and all their friends like it. And how many parents are aware it's all poison?
I feel when women started working in the 50s and 60s, men did not start cooking in the kitchen. going to fast-food restaurants became a norm. schools should start to heavily focus on teaching how to cook. cooking is truly a mystery for most western civilizations and the rest of the world is catching up with this trend.
@@katiemurphy1197 if living costs hadn’t gone up, perhaps a parent could still be at home. Women don’t have the be ones to stay at home anyways, men can learn how to cook, treat children, and clean. It isn’t imperative for a woman to do these things, moreover, there was a lot of spousal abuse and domestic violence back then too and women couldn’t even get a house or a bank loan without a man’s permission. This problem shouldn’t be placed on women, but society as a whole.
It’s closer to brainwashing than marketing. Not stating the value of your product is no better than just lying about it. They take on the least educated for a profit. Bastards.
@@sant-oyo387 I definitely hear that but if you ask them, is this junk food or healthy food they’d likely say it’s junk food. And they have mirrors, they know what they’re doing to their bodies but the trouble is with addiction, the negative outcome isn’t a deterrent. The good feeling of eating that junk overrides the good feeling of health.
@@arturogomeztagle9250 You are so right about that. I wish more people like you would speak up and help the young kids escape the addiction trap. God bless!
It is excessive marketing especially to children that leads to addiction in many people. Both children & adults are almost constantly bombarded with advertisements for foods that are not healthy, lack nutritional value & are damaging to their physical health. So i disagree, it is marketing & it is one of the main problems causing these diseases worldwide. Children are targeted because they don't know the damage these foods will cause to their body's in the future. Targeting children & advertising unhealthy foods should be illigal Worldwide. There is a reason these companies spend millions of dollars on advertising unhealthy food to children/ adults & the reason is they know it works.

Go for it! Fastfood should be a luxury if people ever eat it. Water, tea and coffee, or fruit flavoured water are sufficient, and fresh local food is the best, you support your local farmers, and apparently eating local food helps prevent allergies from local illnesses/insect bites etc. It's a conspiracy theory too that governments want people to be fat and ill so they go to the hospital and become lifelong dependent on medication to keep that circle going. It's sickening to think about. Stick to healthy local food, eat what your grandparents would eat, and those before them.

McDonald’s was a treat or special occasion when I was a kid. Something to look forward too. Never a daily or even weekly thing
Still is that way at least in northern and central europe for most people but we also had years of education and regulations along with simply getting used to these things slowly and not all at once from completly home cooked meals to fast food everyday.
Yea when I think about McDonald’s I think about happy memories in the playground and just enjoying burgers and fries and having McDonald’s once in a blue moon. It’s hard to believe people actually like to buy McDonald’s every single day. So bad for your health
That's how it's like here in Norway, bringing the kids out to eat some hamburgers or pizza very rarely, at special occasions. Homemade food is still the dominant (and better tasting) option, and I don't see the kind of obesity here that I see for example in videos that show average people in USA, where obese people seem to be almost the norm, instead of the extreme. American "junk food" is available here, but more popular is Italian and the focus on quality raw materials and really tasty food instead of just sugar and fat.
Better learn how to cook and do it with kids together...
I would rather eat at a high school cafeteria than McDonald's.
It's ghastly .
Growing up, fast food was a luxury. We only had it once in a while if my parents had extra money. At that time, I desperately wished we could eat fast food often , but now I am so thankful that we didn’t have eat it too much. Home cooked meals will keep you at a decent weight and you nourish your body with real food !
Yes, same where i grew up. Homecooked meal all the way! Now as an adult i respect this hard.
Same, in a weird way we are kind of the lucky ones. Who would have thought
Same. Going to McDonalds was a special occasion. Fast food was quite expensive when I grew up (in Europe). Still isn't cheap enough to eat everyday, but it used to have the price of a regular restaurant meal, while not being as filling. Which made people rather go to a normal restaurant instead.

Same for me it was for special occasions
I feel the same way. My parents saw Supersize Me and wouldn't let my siblings and I eat anymore Mcdonalds. My mom did a lot of internet research on health hazards and we had a lot of restrictions. Some of it was a little obsessive, but she wasn't too strict about it at least.

Because at some point losing weight naturally just isn't possible anymore or it immediately dangers the persons health. Btw, the surgery still means you need to eat healthy and exercise otherwise you won't lose any weight. It just helps getting it off. It's sad, but in some cases it is necessary
Most of those people on the posters were overweight not morbidly obese. That's shocking too, surgery must be extra cheap.
American are lazy.... working out is 'hard' 😐

This made me really grateful that I wasn’t allowed any junk food til I was 18 lol. Like we could eat some on special occasions but that was it and in very small proportions. My mother always cooked for us and I’ll always be forever grateful. Thanks to her I never struggled with my weight and still am a very healthy individual.
Yes we as a kid also fast food on occasions , or homemade
I'm happy for you
No junk food til 18 is crazy 💀 you gotta live a lil
this was all of us in the 80's. I told my kids we only went to Mc Donalds when it was some kids b-day party and they were stunned. They asked 'that was considered a party?' 😱🤣🤣🤣
In my part of Africa,fast food of this class is way too costly to indulge in everyday, that leaves most of us with the only option of cheaper stuff, and that happens to be healthier and cleaner.
Kenya for example
I really dislike people that claim that they become overweight because healthy food is too expensive. For example eating those cheap cornflakes that are literally glazed in sugar so they at least taste good instead of the more expensive but healthier full corn cornflakes with fruits, berrys, nuts and fresh fruits.
I eat rice with red onions and soy sauce in the morning! It not only fills you up good but it is even cheaper than those sugary cornflakes.
Yes rice may have a lot carbohydrate. But this is still far better than industrial sugar.
@Harley Ed Thank you for the typ. But I am quite aware of Müsli. (i am swiss, it was invented in Switzerland) i am just to lazy to make it myself and to buy it is even more expensive as cornflakes.
But seriously. If I could I would start everyday with some orange juice and Müsli. More delicious than all the cornflakes that exists.
It once was too expensive in America, back in the 70s. Don't worry friend, the prices will come down soon enough so all of Africa can suffer the same fat(e) as America.
and for sure tastier

@@InnuendoXP it's like people think corporations are evil entities. They operate on the bottom dollar. If people want their product they thrive, otherwise they die.

@@bentline look up manufactured consent.
Also what people want and what they actually do rarely measure up. People aren't rationally driven, they just follow the path of least resistance. They don't get fast food because it's the most pleasant or the cheapest, they get it because it's consistent, easy & reliable.
well, those global companies' main goal is turn everyone to slaves and make the most profit out of it.
We can't stop fast food restaurants from opening in our neighborhoods but can educate and encourage our children to stay away from fast foods as much as possible and develop healthy eating habits. Everybody has to take an action in this including parents, teachers, government and most importantly media.
and then make a game to them addicted!
We never had fizzy drinks as kids and going to McDonald’s or Pizza Hut was a birthday treat. I guess that’s why we aren’t fat. I worry about kids today
Growing up we were only allowed to have a can of soda on Friday night with our treat of a takeout pizza. Every other day of the week was focused on healthy cooking. Now when life is busy, you can get a burger for $1 without even getting out of your car. Makes it much harder to say no for today's overworked families. :(
Right! When did it go from being a treat to being part of people's everyday diet? Sadly even the salads at fast food restaurants aren't really that healthy
@Asherah 1147 we must have good parents. I Can’t imagine giving a baby coke it’s tantamount to child abuse. The kids I teach go to McDonald’s 3-4 times a week as a ‘treat’ Then they expect us to teach them when they’re full of sugar. Poor kids.

Yup, when you get diabetes type 2 from refined fructose and alcohol - then they'll tell you it's irreversible and gonna feed you drugs till you lose limbs, sight and die.

I love that my parents made the effort to cook and to teach us how to cook. You save hundreds of dollars each and every meal and the quality is superb. Much better than anything offered in fast food restaurants. It's quite expensive when you consider the nutritional content and how long it actually fills you up, which isn't that much. Add on the costly medical bills due to poor health that come up later in life if all you eat is fast food, and it's actually really expensive
Hundereds of dollars each and every meal huh? Where were you folks eating at that costs hundreds per meal lol
@@Legend1148 My family is two parents and three siblings. My parents had high-income jobs but we still ate in because of how much food cost going out in my town. We did not like fast food because it's gross and unhealthy, so we would go to nicer restaurants but once every two weeks or so to keep it in the budget. If your not eating in a McDonalds or some crappy fast food place than it can easily reach hundreds of dollars
@@Legend1148 Plus, you save hundreds of dollars via leftovers. When my parents would make salmon lets say, we usually have leftovers. Going out, to feed all of us, that salmon dish would be 25 per person, and there is five of us. So 25 times 5=125, not including tips, appetizers, wine, etc. You're already saving hundreds because you get way more value for your money. It's not hard to comprehend why it's cheaper
@@Legend1148 Even fast food staples like burgers are cheaper if you make it yourself when you factor in all the costs. At Mcdonalds, you only have to pay like 3-5 dollars for a burger. But how much meat do you really get? It's paper thin and the size of a small CD. Not much value. Making burgers at home means it's actually made of meat, it's bigger quantities, and you don't waste gas going to the fast food place. You can stay home and enjoy a good restaurant quality burger for half the cost and get double the quantity. Not a bad deal

I'll forever thank my mother for choosing me to learn her cooking. She knew she was dying and she told me that I would have to learn to cook for the family. She taught me how to cook so many things from green chili to hand rolled noodles. I remember it all, I don't remember the exact amount of spices and whatnot but the actual labor of cooking for a big family, that I do remember and cook for myself, my roommate, and my girlfriend whenever they are all over at my house. I think it's funny when I cheat and cook Ramen noodles and add some vegetables, proteins(like eggs or steak sometimes SPAM), and spices and they think I've made a 5 star dish but really it's actually an extremely bastardized and lazy dish I'll make when I'm worn out after work. It's the weekends I'll make some real food. Like true homemade pizza, with myself making the sauce and dough all by myself. It's a labor of love.
I’m sorry for the loss of your mother however the cooking was great to hear I just wanted to let you know spam is also very processed and unhealthy
I was surprised at how many older women in the USA don't know the basics of cooking. I got confused one day about if I needed all-purpose or self-rising flour to make a cake so asked a few older women and they looked at me as though i'd asked them to do calculus.

McDonalds made a counter film to Supersize Me and pushed for U.S. schools to show it alongside the former. They also provided meals for calorie-counting exercises at fat camps in the U.S. Also in schools, the FDA approves whatever the lowest bidding name brand is, so brands compete to provide to schools with the cheapest ingredients for free advertising. Despicable
Blame it on the lobbying of the fast food industry to Congress.
Junk food fills a vacancy. Always remember that. If your fresh food is expensive; if your people are overworked to the point that they cannot cook when they get home; if you do not make fresh food readily available, then you create an opportunity for fast foods.
Candy, hamburgers, pizza and a cola are treats to have in moderation. I drink a can of soda every day but I don't eat those foods every day and I also exercise daily. If everyone didn't overdo it there wouldn't be any health problems.

In 1999 when I was in 4th grade at a small private school in Norton Massachusetts, they had us do a blind taste test of Coca~Cola and Pepsi. Whichever one we preferred, that’s who we wrote a letter to complimenting them on their product. I remember that myself and the other kids who wrote Pepsi received no reply where as the ones that wrote Coca~Cola received letters thanking them, coupons, t-shirts and other marketing merchandise. All of the kids including myself got the impression that Coca~Cola “cared” for their customers and appreciated them unlike Pepsi… scary to think of how much influence these companies have at such an early stage.

That statement about, "From no food to bad food" is so true. And it's a shame coz you can't necessarily price fast food up. So ultimately it'll always be a cheap go to option for people who are poor or simultaneously across the demographics when you want a quick meal. Coz even for me before I started eating a lot healthier I found myself eating fast food a lot because of lifestyle, where I'd just be too busy to care about cooking coz I'd come home late from work and so it was easy to just grab fast food be it a cheap meal or a more expensive meal. But eventually I started eating a lot healthier and doing even meal preps to stop myself from getting into that habit of coming home late from work and just going for fast food rather than warming up a meal from prep.
It's gonna be one of those things that I don't think we'll ever get under control necessarily coz even with the whole healthy choice movements some people aren't fortunate enough and have other things to worry about that may then lend to unhealthy eating habits.
Hopefully though it eventually goes back into what it originally was of being like a special occasion sort of thing and not a "imma eat this every other day" kinda thing 🙏🏿❤️
The Brazilian CocaCola campaign is clever: build a strong emotional memory connection by linking to the competition…a virtually permanent physiological association formed between the product and memory.

Coca Cola is repulsive and its marketing campaigns are unfortunately very clever. It’s sad what you’ve said they are doing in Brazil, where they know football, sports, competition are an importan part of brazilian culture as I understand. Same thing that they do at a global scale every Christmas, bulding an association with family, love and hope.

"People are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food." Wendell Berry
The irony right? More research now shows that the type of food you eat impacts the gut microbiome which affects your mood/mental health. And you wonder why the USA where almost 3/4ths of the population is either overweight or obese is ranked top 3 on mental health issues and substance use like opioids and heroin in the entire world. And when you go to the doctor, they rarely go over the diet because 1.) they're not taught much about nutrition in school and 2.) patients get offended or don't take you seriously if you tell them to eat healthier.
The health industry only pays attention to your symptoms not your actual health

As a Brazilian I can say that the reason a lot of adults are overweight is because there is a *HUGE* culture around beer. People drink beer whenever they go out with friends, when there is a soccer game, if they plan to spend the day at the beach, if its sunday...

I grew up in the Bay Area, CA, and I can count the amount of times I've had fast food on one hand. It's amazing how much culture, education, and economic status affect the rates of fast food consumption and resultant obesity among populations. When I travel to certain low-income towns/neighborhoods the amount of fast food joints I see doubles.
38:10 the Boy litterally telling his mother That his Game psychologically triggers him to want to eat fast food of a specific brand... and she just scoffs as if she was saying „what do you know? You are the Child, I am the parent, and I approved this game, and I am right!“... adults are so ignorant when they made up their minds, it is mind boggeling
I agree. But sometimes it is the other way round.
My daughter who is just 12, wants things or want to do things that I beleive she is too young for or that it is not safe for her. So far I am managing to convince her but when she looks at her friends, she finds their lifestyle more appealing.
Lets just take the example of a smart phone. I dont beleive that a 12yr should have one. It is not only safe but she doesnt even need it at this age. Our children are becoming like adults at 12.
When I discuss with her friends parents - those that are sensible - tell me that they are losing control over their kids. One of the reason is the new laws - schools are asking children if their parents are mean with them, spank them (of course I am against abusif parents but ffs a slap is not abusive) and so on.. when children see that society is with them, they rule their parents.
Some adults are messed up in the head and some, genuine ones, are losing control and they are not at fault.
Basically, we are builing a VERY f**ked up society for our children

Thank God I suffered from diabetes and later changed. I learnt how to eat healthy. I cut out sugar and use unrefined sea salt . I feel healthy this days. My child used to cough every night, but since I cut off ALL sugar sweet stuff, the problem ceased. She only goes to school with a bottle of water. She is now emotionally and psychologically stable. For heaven's sake leave junk food and eat healthy stuff which is cheap in the long run.
I notice that too. My asthma is worse of o est junk food and I cough a lot at night if I have too much sugar. I'm fine with organic honey amd agave and small amounts of sugar in home made goods. But the store bought cookies amd chocolate with extra junk amd chemicals makes me cough and triggers acid reflux which then makes me wheeze cuz I'm asthmatic and inhaling my stomach acid. It's a vicious cycle. But like you I'm glad I'm aware of these things so I can do better to take care of my health.
Barua, congratulations for making good choices for you and your child!!. Your example really is the solution to the problem. Ppl taking personal responsibility for their choices and the consequences that come with the choices; not blaming society, the government, capitalism, or anyone else for being "victims".

@@rizkyrahmalita772 its crazy how the fda tells us these overly processed foods are safe to eat when they clearly aren't.

If you doubt eat meat any combination of nuts/or beans/pureed veges you can use to make a vegan "meat" patty. Walnuts/black beans being the easiest recipe I've seen and then just add whatever herbs and spices for flavor. It's best to make at home cuz even the vegan food at the grocery stores a lot has added garbage to it that can make your asthma flare.

@@sandief3671 It's all our fault according to the people who replied first. Hope you get better.
While the US has gone through a phase where everyone got fat, I have noticed a trend of fitness being cool with the younger generation. Eating is still an issue, and schools should emphasize more on teaching nutrition and proper eating along with teaching how to manage your finances, investments, and general finances. I think this would help the upcoming generations so much.
We're in the middle of a cultural transition. Food culture evolves more slowly than technology. We have cuisine developed with the assumption of long hard working days that require densely caloric food. And we have cultures based on the idea that food is scarce because until recently it was. Fast food companies and other restaurants have commercialized that cuisine and made it readily accessible, but really it's a reflection of what people would be preparing in their homes anyway. It's going to take a while for the cultural change to happen.
We'll only know in many years if that trend reverses the obesity trend in the US or ends up creating new addictions. I'm afraid you are over-optimistic or guilty of giving too much importance to a few outliers. Very few countries in the world have been able to reverse obesity - Denmark, South Korea - only with strong political intervention that is non-existent in much of the world.
@Epicdude very true, that is obviously not a gross exaggeration by an out of touch boomer at all.

I grew up in a poor family, so eating fast food or drinking any fizzy drink was only a dream. Now as an adult, I'm still fine without it. Healthy balance diet and regular exercise is the key.
Hmm I think both the poor countries AND the rich countries are getting fatter because of those junk foods.
Only the poor people in rich countries are getting fatter
@@arnie3631 And the well to do people in poor countries are getting fatter. Poor people cannot afford it, they remain malnourished/thin .
Rich people usually buy high end brands that contain more organic ingredients in their grocery baskets. Also they are likely to dine out at restaurants, eating freshly cooked food. That is more healthy than fast food.
@@fredgalaxy7632 Those are rich people in Rich countries. Rich people or well to do people in poor countries think eating like westerns is a status symbol.
@@arnie3631 Yes. I think this is largely true.
I'm from a developing country and this is how I used to think about fast food 18:03 since they usually have their stores located at populated shopping malls, also with half opened kitchens so they seemed clean to me and this became the main reason why I preferred chain fast foods over a lot of other local restaurants. But later on I acknowledged things like the nutrition in fast foods and the general ideas of processed foods, I rarely visit fast food places.
The truth is if you eat at an international fast food brand anywhere in the world the hygiene standard is high, doesn't mean perfect but the standard is known especially for any tourist. Nutrition on the other hand is variable and tends to be as bad as the national government of a particular country allows. In the wealthy world it seems the US has the lowest standard.
It's not about poor countries. Vietnam and Thailand are 2 opposite examples, no fat pigs in Vietnam.
@@Frivals ah, i get your point but please don't prefer to fat people as ''pigs'' 😅
its sad that basic business psychology works on the masses or the average joe.
As much as I blame the companies, everything does start at home
A main factor is asymmetrical information. Parents don't get properly informed (by the government and the companies) about health issues that can be caused by excessive consumption of sugar, fat and saturated fatty acids as well as salt.
So the government might be the one to blame
These multinationals bribe the government officials/politicians to bypass all the safety stops. They also have all sorts of promotions to get them started. Once they’re addicted, especially young, then they have a customer for life.
They also steal water from locals, sometimes in drought areas where people lose their ancestral farms and livelihoods. There have been all sorts of cases where they come in and kick out the strong politicians that were standing against them and put in proxies, which also leads to other issues those crooks create afterwards.
There’s a lot behind the curtains.
That's how they trick you into taking responsibility instead of them. Don't be a sheep.
Back when fast food and processed food began parents didn't have enough information. Currently, lobbyists work very hard to control information so people keep rationalizing. As well,, the food is addictive AND television has subliminsl messages to lull you into comfort. That's the downside of Free Marketing.
It’s the parents responsibility to stay informed and communicate with their children

I was so shocked on the result of the lab that the "pizza" didn't contain any cheese at all, not to mention the exorbitant amount of fat, and other chemicals in them. That's what they're feeding to their consumers?! I feel disgusted :/ People need to consume real food with good nutrition, not these junk. Goes to show how powerful these companies' marketing strategies are. It's so effective.
Is it news to people that pizza is unhealthy? Do you need coke to go through a mass spectrometer to realize that is unhealthy as well?
@@corriedebeer799 Well real pizza isn't the healthiest nor is it unhealthy. It's basically bread, tomato sauce, and cheese, which all three are healthy ingredients when consumed in the right amounts, and whatever else you add on it can change it's dietary makeup. If you add just basil, mushrooms, chicken, olive oil, garlic, then that's a pretty healthy meal right there. But if you add bacon, ham, bbq sauce, buttered crust, etc., then you have a pretty unhealthy meal.
But my point is the fact they're using some chemically-made ingredients to replace natural and healthy ingredients like cheese, is the problem. Pizza isn't unhealthy as a dish itself, it's how you prepare it, the type of ingredients you use and add on it, and how often you eat it in your diet.
@@alistairt7544 All pizza is unhealthy. A slice of pizza has anywhere between 300 - 400 calories in it. An intense 45 minutes cardio session burns 600 - 800 calories. A whole day's worth of exercising can be undone by two slices of pepperoni pizza. Pizza is one of the worst things you can put in your body.
@@corriedebeer799 No it's not LOL. I guess you are American and never tried real, Italian pizza. It mostly contains healthy ingredients like Alistair T mentioned. The problem is the superprocessed ingredients that can turn even a salad into an unhealthy meal. As long as you keep it natural and the rest of your diet is a healthy one, an occasional, authentic pizza is fine.
@@aliena2.031 I guarantee you you will never lose weight if you eat pizza. Authentic or Unauthentic, you will remain unhealthy and overweight if you eat pizza.

To be fair, they also do it with adults
This method is called conditioning, and our environments and parents condition us to act certain ways and believe certain things, and as adults many of these behaviors go unnoticed, unchallenged, or just become so engrained in us that we can’t stop acting those ways. Conditioning is not necessarily bad as it is used to adapt to the environment and adopt habits and skills required to fit in and do well in our circumstances, but it can be abused and manipulated. Humans get conditioned easily, especially with our reward system, which is why social media tends to be addicting and why software programmers make it more addicting to increase usage.

Water, tea and coffee, or fruit flavoured water are sufficient, and fresh local food is the best, you support your local farmers, and apparently eating local food helps prevent allergies from local illnesses/insect bites etc. It's a conspiracy theory too that governments want people to be fat and ill so they go to the hospital and become lifelong dependent on medication to keep that circle going. It's sickening to think about. Stick to healthy local food, eat what your grandparents would eat, and those before them.

This would be a good time to be a cardiologist in india and brazil.
I wonder if this is also why india is having such a bad time with covid cases right now. Extremely densely populated in a lot of areas plus poor diets. This is what experts say about americans too. Poor diets and obesity, most bad cases of covid/covid deaths were among overweight and obese people.(I'm not including elderly in this and other comorbidities)
@@loryndabenson2118 vast majority of indians have good diets
You must be a capitalist, showing a lack of morals like that. Psychopaths all of you.
I wonder what state dental health is with all those fizzy drinks and sugar 🤔
@@axle4662 though Indians are mostly vegetarian, the Indian diet is very high in saturated fats(ghee is mostly used for cooking in Indian cuisine) and is high in salt, hence India has such high diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension prevalence.
I don't think this is limited to "poor" countries. We have a world wide obesity problem.
I’m seeing too many comments saying that they’re thankful they weren’t born in a poor country....have they ever walked down a street in the west?? Obesity galore!
