Will is evolving and this isn't even his final form. I really appreciate it, too. :)

also the way he does it. really nice! better than most documentaries!

Totally agree, just wish he wouldn't actually eat the food.

Same, i really love his health concern and his ambitions toward a healthier world, love the videos like that.

​@@marc_aussie Let Will enjoy his slop in peace.

Its on purpose

Purposefully

​@MochaZilla it's all abt profit margins, not some conspiracy to destroy lives If healthy food was more profitable then that's all they would sell It's our governments job to regulate these businesses & make sure our food & drinks are healthy but they don't regulate & the people don't pressure the politicians to do anything

Wait till you learn farms across America are being forcibly shut down or straight up stolen

I feel like this isn't the case since home cooking is almost always cheaper than eating out (gonna assume home cooking is the norm in this city).

And the ice cream machines at McDonald's always work! He didn't get the meme

Gallo pinto wasn't even brought up once ..... Lizano was definitely a staple tho for sure! Pura vida!

Pretty much everything I wanted to say and more

I have to add at the start he also went to a local supermarket, almost nobody does grocery there, just snacks or quick stuff for convenience, which explains the stock selection there. Maybe chain supermarkets like Walmart, which do at least keep most produce looking good. But most people would go directly to butchers, produce shops or the local market, specialized shops. Especially there in Guanacaste Province which is like our Texas, Meat is always on the menu, and Supermarket meat would be akin to supermarket pasta to an Italian...

@@perseusbeatkraken Lizano sauce was EVERYWHERE when I went there! I feel like getting me a bottle so I can recreate the CR feeling in my far more northerly home.

I just hope his manager or some other high horse doesn't fire him for saying McDonald's isn't healthy ^^.

I wanted to hate McDonald's but he was delightful

I'm really worried for him, saying those stuff about McDonalds for millions of people to see while being employed by them isn't the smartest idea.

yeah it wasn't cool for will to post that interview with his face, in some countries McDonalds is a career

Yup, but probably fired by now

and lovely accent.

Sounds german somehow is that a thing?

@@rlstrengththat’s what I thought! Maybe she just wanted to get out of stressy Germany.. :D

@@rlstrength came here to ask the same! :D she def sounds german.

@@rlstrengthIm German and I immediately noticed the German accent hahah

I'm from Brazil and we do the same here. If you have to buy fruits and veggies, you head to a "verdurão", where you can buy a huge selection of them for a much cheaper price than a Supermarket, sometimes directly from the farmer. In my town we algo have markets such as shown in the vídeo, but they are more like a "convenience store", no one shops ALL their food there. Also, about gym culture: small/rural Towns dont have gyms because most of the locals already work at Very physical Jobs (such as construction or farming) so they dont see the point in working out. Will had good intentions with this vídeo, but he lacked the compreehension of How latino/developing countries culture operantes to base his veredict.

you described almost every single country except usa

As a Costa Rican, thank you for this comment.

You're gorgeous ​@@MiCh0RoCkS

I’m going there soon and tysm for letting me know! I was a bit worried I’d gain so much weight 😂

Oh and if you don’t mind me asking, what’s the average price for food? I’ll be road tripping from end to end of the country so I’ll be a little bit of everywhere! I’m usually a big healthy-eating type of person, what would you recommend as breakfast/lunch/dinner? Much love! ❤️

It’s amazing and well done. It’s almost like i paid a youtube vip video

Exactly, he's a pro now

The crews are pro, the cameraman, the video editors, are all pro

I'm in the us growing up we got all our produce from the Amish and I'm young this all happened on the past 10 years for me and probably 40 years for my family . We got fresh produce from the Amish everyone did and my family always described it during the 90s early 2000s before that super wide sonic boom from the industry

I'm Costa Rican and it's basically the same here, Guanascaste province where Nicoya is located it's a very turist-y place, for foreigners and Costa Ricans, those stores are just to get snacks and drinks, for "real" groceries there are meat shops and farmers markets... The issue is that those kind of stores are everywhere and access to fresh produce is getting harder in those regions, most of the people grow their own veggies and have chickens for meat and eggs

same in mexico.

Yes there are separate stores for fresh produce only

this is what i was thinking too. a lot rural towns, or less commercialized countries have fresh markets and grocers separated.

100%

Need more of this

Yeah, he does a good job at misportraying situations and laying the blame at the feet of "Anglosation" (white people), so profound!

I couldn't agree more !!!

I just watch KZfaq pretty much 90% of my TV watching time.

Yeah I really appreciate this one. He is so good at engaging and connecting with the locals so they are happy to share their perspectives. And I think this documentary is a super important reminder of where our lives and modern societies go in the wrong direction. Thank you Will for the amazing work! Glad to see your using your platform for something important and good. Thank you for high quality inspiring documentary. Please influence more influencer to be like you ;)

For real. I’ve been watching Will for 3+ years and it’s really cool to see how his content has progressed so far. He’s honestly one of the best fitness influencers on KZfaq ATM.

Kinda like Trek Trendy but for fitness.

Agreed. This was a fantastic video!

Literally lol

frr i was like Will hire me!!! lmao

surely going to costa rica he had an interpreter and it was probably done for the edit laughs. still a great video

A door to pull is just an opportunity to activate a pec with a good push ;)

You caught it too.

"It goes both ways"

I agree with this comment! Nicoya is mostly a touristic place so yes, they need to adapt to have more fast food chains. However, food quality that locals eat in the day to day in CR is way better/healthier than USA. Also, we may not have “walkable” streets but people still walk a lot.

All facts said here

Thank you for this comment

legal yo igual hice un comentario explicando, nos dejo mal 😂😂 como ticos

its happening all over the world incl marokko ,the younger generation dont care they want the fast life ! fast is life is fast death

I'm also Costa Rican and in my family fast food isn't even an option because the cost is so high. These places have been coming in for decades setting up shop at ridiculous prices and i believe its more because of the massive tourist economy in those areas. I personally haven't seen any costa Rican traditional restaurants change to accommodate Americanized food (especially the places I've been going to for 15 - 20 years). I think there is to much false reporting and so many dramatized stories which have lead to this "doc". I also don't know what you are referring to when you say you cannot walk in San Jose since nobody visiting for the past 20 years could walk it without the risk of getting robbed. Its always been dangerous especially in areas like Hatillo but locals like my grandma do just fine. Spreading this weird rhetoric making Costa Rica look bad has frustrated me and so many locals who thrive on the touristic economy. Moreover, i believe that this doc was literally just a tax write off so he could go on vacation for free and deduct all else as a business expense.

@@Carlos-we5tv I'm not trying to argue with you, but it feels you are twisting what I said and adding extra things that I never wrote about, so I'll engage. And I reiterate, this is from the perspective of someone who had been away for a decade. You CAN still find places that are traditional, inexpensive, yada yada (shout out to El Pizote), but, from my experience, I did find several places with jacked up prices, or prices in $ and with very obvious Americanized menu options. Are they all like this? No, of course, it's easy to avoid them if you know where to go. It's not an "all or nothing" brother. And I never said "you can't walk in San Jose" lmao, I said "there's a decline in outdoorsy activities", in the decade I was out, I lost 2 friends to murder near/around La Sabana, so it made sense to me when I saw a reduced amount of people over the weekend running and doing activities, for example. My point was that it makes sense not seeing as many people out and about since "the streets have become (more) dangerous", not one single park around my neighborhood had children, people doing excersice or even 'mejengeando', what you did see were the tables with 5+ shady looking people/teens 'chilling', so to me, it makes sense when Will pointed out no one was doing shit in the park in Nicoya. None of this is/was intended to be fearmongering, or to "damage local tourism", heck, I've been even promoting my friend's restaurants, tattoo shops and businesses to all the people I've heard are going down there to visit. I personally want more people to go there, but you can't sell the same "old paradise" to people who have never experienced it first hand, let alone people who lack the knowledge you or I may have on our country. It's still a good damn paradise if you are just a tad bit more careful. That's all.

​​​@@Carlos-we5tvthere's nothing in this video that's going to turn people off from visiting Costa Rica. If anything, it might turn up more interest. Western influence hit East Asia hard decades ago, where my family is from, and there's still a large tourist industry. At the end of the day, when we modernize we're going to be changed by it, for better or for worse. And we do need to think critically and challenge some of the changes or else we might end up on a path to somewhere we don't want to be

Agreed!!! So humble and authentic.

Direkt den deutschen Akzent gefühlt, haha

Egal, was sie sagt: es klingt so fokussiert und fleißig! 😂 Und ihre Lache bei den Flachwitzen mit Gordon Ramsey und der Massage….. 😅

😂😂 Erstmal die Kommentare abgecheckt

Ja, nun. Wir und Südamerika, nich' wahr

Ja!

What you say is true for some countries (e.g. Italy and the Netherlands) but we always used commas to separate thousands when I went to an English school.

@williamwallace4080 as you said, in English school (or English spoken countries). Almost everywhere else in Europe they use the opposite system. But yeah, I generalized it too much by saying "Europe uses comma for decimals". Anyway, with your commentary people will get the point.

Expensive even lol. A 4.5/6 star mexican bakery near me sells pan dulce for $1 each made fresh every day.

Yes I was looking at the McDonald's prices for the premium burgers it was over 10 dollars. More expensive than the US even

Thats business. The people dont need to eat the food

@@greenfingers1 its not "business", it's capitalism. ppl talk about it like its an inherent characteristic of society. its a human construct thats barely been around a couple centuries. we dont need to prioritise intangible goals like economic growth when we literally have the resources to care for every human and the fact that we dont is a failure as a species.

@@walidrazaq3395 youve lost your mind if you think we have enough resources for everyone

YOU ARE NOT FROM COSTA RICA, LIAR!

Americans have a choice though we a large amount of fresh and processed foods

I'm American and it kinda sickens me how much fast food advertises to kids to get them hooked early. More parents need to keep their kids away from that stuff except for an occasional treat.

@@TopG-Official(for reference im 23 yrs old welder in Texas ) i think the problem lies with the schedule of the average working class American we are so busy most of our days and nowadays with the younger generations both man and women work full time jobs (8-16 hours)to pay for our bills and lifestyles often times i know i’ve found myself taking the easy option of grabbing fast food over fresh healthy home cooked meals on the way home because i’m simply too tired to cook and then clean which my wife and i make enough for leftovers to combat this issue many are simply too lazy to stand for another hour or so to create a meal better for their health and longevity

It really is, I would never imagine Costa Rica having so much.. commercial processed foods, theres always "unhealthy" local foods at places, but its so sad to see this happening

Science disagrees though... Grassfed or not doesn't make an important difference in saturated fat content and red meat is a class 2 carcinogen... the saturated fat and cholestrol is clogging arteries and causing heart diseas...Even unprocessed white meat develops cancer causing byproducts when cooked in basically any other way than boiling... I would suggest you look into guidelines by actual health organizations, they all recommend cutting down on meat and animal products, most people should not eat them every single day, preferrably not at all.

There is also some evidence that heme iron (the kind of iron that is found in animal foods) is detrimental to human health and should be replaced by non heme iron sources aka plants...
