Scientists calling for warnings, ad bans on ultra-processed foods

Researchers say ultra-processed foods that are high in fats, starches, sugars and additives now make up 73% of the U.S. food supply, even though they are linked to health issues like diabetes, obesity, cancer and depression. Scientists say these foods should be regulated with tobacco-style warnings and advertising bans. Trish Cotter, global lead for the Food Policy Program at Vital Strategies, joined CBS News to discuss ultra-processed foods.

@rembeadgc Күн бұрын

The problem isn't that whole foods need to be cheaper... it's that people need to place greater value on their health. People need to stop thinking of the cheaper stuff as "food". If you compare them by nutritional value and the cost of eventual healthcare you'll see that the "cheaper" food isn't actually cheaper. You're paying less money because there's less "food" in what you're purchasing. Everything you can eat shouldn't be thought of as "food". Also, there used to be classes in school called "Home Economics". If you teach people how to use money effectively in regards to health and nutrition you'll have people who know how to acquire better value for their money and how to preserve and extend the value of what they purchase. My grandmother did it, as a widow, raising her grandchild and I never went hungry or had less than a full plate of food. Plus there was a network of family, relatives and neighbors and a garden tended to faithfully. There are many controllable variables to the home making equation that people today tend to ignore and focus on something "somebody else" should do to make things easier for them.

My great / grandparents were farmers, ate unprocessed foods, cooked their own meals, raised their livestocks, and lived up to 103 years old. When my parents came to America, the health issues arose from the American diet. Processed foods left to right, that nearly cut down the life expectancy of my parents in half. My mom suffered 3 strokes. Diabetes, high blood pressure, my aunts and uncles suffered from strokes, cancer, diseases. You name it. When I look at my grandparents, great grandparents, they were very healthy because of their lifestyle.

@@duckmercy11 Eating healthy isn't necessarily more expensive. It's an illusion. You can buy a ready made meal for cheaper than buying all of the ingredients that went into it, but if you were to buy all the ingredients then you would get more than one meal. Processed food is marketed as tasty, cheap, filling and even touted as 'healthy' because it has eggs or meat or something green resembling a vegetable in it. People on a low income buy it because often fresh food is not available where they live, they are rushed for time, they might not have cooking equipment, etc. but also because processed food is made to look appealing, quick and easy. If you cut animal products out of your diet, you food bill will be a lot lower - beans and lentils are cheaper than meat and dairy. We found this out quite by accident when we decided to go vegetarian years ago. Our food bill went down significantly even though we didn't eat 'expensive' meat before that.

People aren't going to change because of a warning from the surgeon general. The thing that drove down smoking was killing advertising for the tobacco industry. A similar change needs to occur for ultra-processed foods if you want systemic change. However do you put that on Frito-Lay or fast food joints? How about the small restaurant that's cooking a fake chicken patty for a vegetarian? Changing advertising regulations for ultra-processed foods would be quite difficult since it encompasses so much pre-made food (the scientist even mentioned breads with more than 5 ingredients). We need to make healthy pre-made options easily accessible to people *and* we need to create a risk/reward system for food producers so they have incentives (whether to avoid fines or to receive grants from the government) to make healthy options. Broccoli and apples have always been good for you and cheap but people are busy and don't want to take the time to prepare these. Of course no one is going to go for a lentil soup if all they have is McDonald's in their area.

actually it is impossble to walk through ANY supermarket and not walk past the processed food. They are allways placed right at the entrance as well as at the the end and ofc. in between as well. Supermarkets these days are designed so that pretty much any shopping list will send you through the entire market just searching for what you need. They know what products customers will usually buy together and will place those intentionally as far appart as possible apart form each other. The best advice imo would be "write a list of what you need and just stick to it!"

Frozen broccoli isn't causing diabetes. Whether its "processed" is 100% irrelevant. Messaging in this piece is going to confuse many people. According to this piece processed food is bad therefore the healthiest food is unwashed. If its made mainly of cheap vegetable oil or pure carb and fat, then thats a high risk if habitual.

Everyone attacks corn syrup. I don't think many people understand the effects of it versus sugar. I highly recommend deep diving into the processing, nutritional info, and contents of corn syrup. Things like glucose and the lot are becoming negative in the eyes of many, but I don't think many even understand what they're being told. News loves to tell a fraction of the story. This story didn't explain why these are bad, they even used emulsifiers as a negative. Emulsifiers are ingredients that help things mix. Water can be an emulsifier, but by the view this video pushes, it's a bad word to those who don't dig deeper. To anyone who sees this and is shocked, don't be. It's old news that's been public information for a very long time. It's that the public never looks into it, and purely relies on outlets like this, who spin words and basic information to push fear. Most big words on the backs of food boxes are there for a reason. It's to prevent confusion in an official context. Every single plant, mammal, etc. has names like this. Do ya research folks, a single video like this isn't even 1% of the story. Don't let it be 100% to you.
