Also the Nestle cooperation literally tries to buy land and drinking water sources all over the planet to basically privatize the sources of nurishment people there have used for millennia.

Nestle is really evil, look up the story about how they tried to get the rights on drinking water . They are selling it in plastic for 800 times normal price for one.

Sounds something in a movie lol

It's kind of funny, but also super scaring. They actually know they are killing people, but they keep going, no matter what, just for money

When do you guys eat burgers?

@@neil9381 thank you for replying! I see I think thats very smart.

@@30clipn86 _Here in Asia. We mostly eat fast food for celebrations. We dont eat them for breakfast or as main meal_

Cow burguers?

To answer the question at the end of the video. I live in italy now. Fast food is trying to increase its presence here but sometimes they fail because no one wants it. McDonald's has succeeded but other chains like burger king and kfc struggle to keep more than a few store open. I am noticing that i drink more sugary drinks when I am pregnant or if someone with unhealthy eating habits stays with us because we buy the drinks to help them feel welcome and then i drink with them. I just gave birth so i am looking forward to getting back to cooking for my family and drinking only water.

melodramatic7904 but the massive growth of fast food chains in asian countries were in this decade. even at 2010, there was only 1 mcdonalds in my city. But now, mcdonalds are everywhere. Burger king opened 5 chains only in 2018 at my city. So yeah..

@@melodramatic7904 yeah I am spanish and its the same, I feel they arent talking about Europe though, here they have already done their best and I am glad to say that most people don't eat their food because it is considered unhealthy, but idk about the rest of the world

I'm like you. I don't eat often fast food in France because I know the risks. But I can't lie, fast food are really tasty (they have a bunch of scientist specialized into industrial food, just to have the better taste, so the more addictive). When we know it's dangerous for our health, and all the diseases we can have with nutrition, we automatically get careful with our nutrition. Unfortunately, here, not everyone is careful with their nutrition. There is people who don't care about it, and others people who are trapped into fast food, snacks etc...

By doing that, they create a sense that eating in their restaurants is aspirational - the businesses see this as a sustainability strategy. As people climb out of poverty and middle classes grow, their customer bases will grow too as people will want to be seen to be consuming something which indicates their class status. So... in a way, by carving out this image of themselves in developing countries, they are targeting the poor, by targeting the contemporary middle class.

bear_square No offense, it seems like you were really reaching with that statement. While to some extent that is true, I don't think its a prevalent in their plan as you make it seem.

Do everything you can to spread bad press and not support these companies. Companies like McDonald's, Coca-Cola, and Nestle only care about profit. They don't give a damn about the health of anyone.

I agree so much! I live in Pakistan and Eating unhealthy is Expensive, A kilogram of apples costs like 30 rupees (which is like 0.15 euros). Keep in mind I live in a City, Our Food is relatively expensive compared to other places in our country, like villages. Mean while a Meal at KFC costs 1,400 Rps (7.22 euros). That’s expensive! I hope that these companies never get a foot hold in my country. Also restraint which are healthy and litterally show you them preparing the food, are cheaper. Also parents litterally punish their children for eating unhealthy, if they’re local. So yup, I would rather live in A 3rd world country like Veitnam or Pakistan rather than America any day.

When I lived in America, I noticed it was hard to get vegetables in dishes unless I get a salad. In asia, veggie are better integrated in most dishes.

Hello neighbor! From Philippines here. I wish my country had cheaper veggies. It's insane how a kilo of onion is at 400pesos here. That is almost 10 US dollars. I don't know how much it's that in Vietnam but is crazy expensive here. But fastfood is cheap asf here. Enraging.

@@bolothetitan5009 Oh no, that's how they get you unfortunately. Your country will be heading towards obesity. In Nigeria fast food is expensive while vegetables are cheap unless they are imported, or don't grow well in our climate.

I grew up in the rural parts of China, and healthy food options are much easier to access and is damn tastier than fast food, not that we don't go out for mcdonald's, but only every once in 4-6 months or so.

Thing is in most asian market the fast food restaurant advertised themselves as some "prestigious" place to eat and with most of this country having a majority of their population leaving poverty becoming middle class, many fast food restaurant has become a status symbol. While it haven't completely taken over due to the rich culinary history of this region, them advertising themselves as a lifestyle instead of food. I personally find McD burger the stalest shit ever (I don't really know why people in America hates BK since at least to my tongue they taste way better than McD), street stalls has better food for half the price but you won't get the "first world dining experience" and zoomers eat that shit. It's always the kids, its always the damn kids that are gullible.

u got lucky and pulled thru

people who don't speak english and sometimes have no access to internet? trust me not every nation have words for "junk food"

Gumer Zambrano unfortunately developing countries don't know this.. People are abandoning their traditional healthy food for fast and now obesity and health problems is a reality in these countries.

DePeaceHunter dude, even as a child I know too much soda and junk food is bad for your health. 😂

cestalia You missed my point. Like I said, not everyone knows the word "junk food" even exists. you might be living in environment where a talk on junk food is common , but there are nations out there where such word doesn't even exist, let alone a talk on it. I was one of those people who didn't know, they didn't teach it in school and internet was not a thing back then. all I ate was junk food in my teen days (and a lot of sodas) until I got autoimmune disease in my early 20, that's when I started to care enough to read and later thanks to Internet I know even more. This is coming from someone with decent english, now imagine people who don't even speak english. Trust me, I know many people who are much more clueless than my teen self.

DePeaceHunter I can't believe people doesn't know junk food, but I guess it exists in several places and different time. Fair I guess, considering in old time, they put a lot of stuff on cough syrup. I mean, our government in here really make sure every children know about good food through education.

Stfu USA sucks

Glassland you are discounting intersectionality; nothing happens in a vacuum without influence from many other issues. Please don't act smart.

Do you know what psychology Is? People will go the easy way, the hard way is too difficult. Fast food is made easier than traditional or healthy food. Plus, they prey on evolutionary tactics that was used back in the old day when things like sugars and fat were a rare commodity ultimately making those things taste better and more sought out for. Now a day, those things are easy to come by, the the evolutionary tactic is the same. Did you even watch the video?

It’s an amazing business model, if i own mc donalds i would do the same thing

Glassland, because it an unfair war. The poorer people in Asian countries have nothing and are not capable to defend themselves against the highly refined marketing pitches of these organisations.

Ridiculous marxist nonsense that seeks to uplift the "unfortunate". Empower the individual, stop enabling weak people.

joke on you you cant out exercise unhealthy diet..

Import sleep and diet as well

It's not just your exercise bro. It's about all body habits. Besides, the gyms here are expensive as hell and if you try to take a jog you'll get run tf over.

Ouch...

not this intense

These companies rely a lot on spreading misinformation, you can't really blame consumers for being lied too. A lot of the fight back against these companies in North America and Europe is that the truth has spread. But the places these fast food places are going, they are working as hard as they can to keep those already known truths a secret.

It's actually both, companies and their lobbyist for not being entirely honest about the risks of what they sell, and the misinformed majority who don't even think obesity and other problems will affect them until it's very late.

what’s literally what they want you to think

lol that's how they shift the blame from themselves to the masses the same way with environmental issues when they literally produce so much waste too

Sedentary behavior comes from the hormone imbalance these sugary junk foods cause. It's proven

Finally some sense. Nobody forces people to eat at McDonald’s or to drink Coca Cola on a regular basis. Plus, most countries have their own version of fast food and they are just as bad as McDonald’s or KFC.

@KFC Man let's see. Ground beef can cost $12.00 and last you several days. If you go to a fast food restaurant and buy a Whooper for $5.00. What are you going to eat the next day. The $12.00 ground beef can be hamburgers one day, tacos, the next day and meatloaf the day after that and sloppy Joe's the 4th day. Now that is 4 days of one food item at $12.00. Now compare fast food 4 days in a row. A whopper is $5.00x4 days is $20.00. Because you have to eat out everyday . So fast food is still more expensive than grocery stores. For $7.50, you can buy a pack of burgers and last you a week compared to going to buy a Big Mac for 7 days at $5.00. That's $35 compared to buying a pack of burgers at the grocery store So how is grocery shopping more expensive again? An Extra large coke at a grocery store is nearly $5.00. You can buy 2 Minute Maid Juces at Wamart for $1.50.

Ingrid P bet you think when kids are bullied at school it’s their own fault too.

@@ellie7646 That comparison didn't make sense. The consumer chooses what he/she wants to eat. The only thing American companies do is sell the food. They don't FORCE consumers to but it. They advertise it to them.

No one is forcing and addict to buy drugs. Should you still sell it to them? Nobody is forcing you to smoke or drink, should you still consciously and agressively target children? Cause junk ood is even more harmful.Maybe good practice in the US, in the civilized world we call that unscrupulous and exploitative.

Yes, thank you for the correction,s

Ben Lawrence parenting too. Once a month, once a week tops. Heavy users is suicidal

ISN’T THAT WHAT THE US DO? Blame whole countries for the actions of a few?

YAR-YAR DRINKS lol American frivolous lawsuit

You're half a step off. The only reason American-based companies are supplying product in these countries is because the folks in those countries want them. Sending product without a demand isn't particularly smart business.

Large multinational corporations don't spend billions on advertising and promotion of their products for nothing. The companies expect results, and they get them, for the most part. People aren't "choosing" anything, in that sense.

Healthier food is actually more affordable after looking at long term medical costs.

Maybe the obviously smarter people in wealthy Western countries need to conquer these dumb poor countries and tell them how to live their lives. Now what shall we call this?....

I agree, in India as well fresh vegetables are cheap, in city area it's expensive, but if we see future costs on health, it's still chepa to eat wholesome fresh food. Also I think people hog in fast food stores. I was strictly restricted by my parents to eat it, I moved out during college and apart from campus, the only place to hang around was restaurants. Mumbai has very few public places like gardens, they are Crowded as well. So it was lack of public space that I started eating burger.

And if you had the choice between fast food and carrots, what would you eat?

Heroin is not being advertised on TV and other places, so your comparison fails. But, education about healthy and unhealthy food choices is indeed important.

Ruslan Rubtsov because fat people aren’t beautiful

I'm Lebanese by the way and we still have some rural areas that do not have proper education. There is always room for improvement. We still have a lot to do for education in Lebanon.

If there are 10 doctors for every 1 person there IS a problem in your education system. ;P

Artbug yes they had their less fatty own variants until KFC, McD etc came claiming excess cheese as the way of life. So in a way these corporations have destroyed local fast food businesses too and people have knowingly or unknowingly traded for much worse health.

But now it’s American fast food

"Less fatty variants?" geez you are really selling it hard

So you are saying we shouldn't try other countries food and have a closed door policy?

I’m Peruvian and I love Peruvian food but I also love sushi, Italian, Chinese, French, Ethiopian, Indian and, once in a while, fast food. Heck, we have our own fast food chains. I will have donuts once in a while too. And I love the convenience of supermarkets as much as most Americans. I love to have options like most humans. I am completely against people telling me that we shouldn’t be allowed to be able to make our own choices.

SRM7092 We are genetically designed by nature to crave fat and sugar because food was so hard to come by before the Agricultural Revolution. Obesity and its related diseases are a 'good problem' in the 21st century.

Both sugar and fat (and even salt) were expensive in the past. The BIG difference is they are now produced cheaply. Increased Abundance + Same Craving = Problem!

I can't stand eating too much junk foods, if I eat too many chips I want fruits if I eat too many sweets I want something savory.

It's not the US or corporations. It's just whether we can control ourselves.

If I feel I've had a bit too much Coke or KFC, then I stop for a while and eat & drink something else. It's just moderation.

Artbug This is doing something about world hunger?

yeah mcdonalds and kfc is solving world hunger A+

Yeah and selling people houses is solving homelessness. Nice twist.

chairshoe81 feeding people something that isn’t nutritional at all is not solving world hunger rather it is worsening it.

Didn't listen, did you? Fast food is not a solution to world hunger, they are empty calories, no nutrition.

So........ we shouldn't talk about it or think about ways to encourage or incentivize them not to?

academyrulz But people ARE influenced in their choices. Psychology. Economics. Sociology. It's basic stuff. People aren't islands making completely sovereign decisions independent of the social and economic environment they are in. I assume (maybe wrongly?) that everyone values improving the quality of life in their societies, and that entails a little bit of nudging people to make better, healthier decisions and creating enabling environments for that to happen. That might mean regulating advertisement of fast food to kids, putting taxes on sugary beverages etc..

bear_square No, the business does nothing wrong by advertising a product they sell and taxing a product to limit it's sales would be sacrificing economic growth for health if you actually want to change people's minds how about education? Green foods are much cheaper actually.

Elijah Bailey What did that have to do with anything I said? The reason people buy fast food is because wealth yes that is a factor but what people don't realise is a vegan diet is actually cheaper I'm a liberal by the way.

Andy Davis - I value living in a society where people are healthy and happy. I imagine you do to as a self-described 'liberal'. That is why we live in societies in the first place - because we are better off cooperating socially and economically with each other than living everyone for themselves alone in the woods. But living together, and creating conditions in which people have the opportunities to be happy and healthy means setting some ground rules including regulating markets and business. Where the lines are drawn is dynamic and shift over time as the values of a society change, or new problems (like obesity and non-communicable disease or environmental damage etc) emerge. I'm sure that you would agree that it is a good thing that toxic waste isn't allowed to be dumped into rivers and streams (although regulations on this have been scaled back under Trump)? This represents a sacrifice of some portion of some companies' profits in order to keep people healthy. If a society cares only about profit and economic growth above all else, they're likely not to end up in very good shape. You mentioned education. Yes, health education is good, and we should have more and better quality health education, but that alone isn't going to be enough. Because a vegan diet or 'greens' is cheaper than fast food doesn't' make it realistic that people who are addicted to fast food and soda are just going to swtich. Price is only one factor. Maintaining a vegan diet has other kinds of transaction costs beyond price. Time for instance. Fast food is convenient and everywhere. Being a vegan isn't very convenient and takes a lot more time and a energy to maintain. Buying and cooking greens isn't realistic for a lot of busy working and middle class families, the poorest of whom live in 'food deserts' where they don't even have access to markets where they can buy healthy foods.
