yeah but they need to do a better job. this was a complete mess, with various amorphous claims being made without a good organizations structure. I would like to see it like this: 1) history of obesity (people were almost never fat before the 19th century; heart disease was also almost unheard of, can cancer was rare), leading to the question: what changed? This section could also review ancestral diets still practiced around the world that show a massive diversity of foods people can consume without succumbing to chronic disease associated with the western diet 2) a history of nutrition research in the 20th century to try to explain this factor, focusing on the sequential demonization of different macronutrient categories as being causal in obesity (saturated fat is bad. no wait, carbs are bad. now transfats are bad. now it's specifically sugar that's bad. now it's seed oils. or maybe it's environmental toxins that cause metabolic dysfunction & obesity?) 3) a synthesis of the disputes contained in #2 that would suggest that in all of that noise (including in the often-shoddy research, since long term randomized control trials are very difficult/expensive to do) one clear signal is that processed foods are almost certainly a massive causal factor in obesity and metabolic dysfunction

Exactly my thought !! (Sorry for the 2 yr delay)

An update would be great. We are learning more and more every year about nutrition. I eat so much following a whole food plant based diet and am losing an average of 2.5 pounds per week.

Everyone must know this

Absolutely

Agree- great essential info

@@criticalgamerx172 . What?????

👍🏽

Very true 🙏

i don't know if your still here but eatting good I all ready lost 20 pounds :D physically i feel better too... More energy Don't need coffee or refined sugar

Perfect example why it's always recommended to follow the 80% diet and 20% exercise rule.

@@punker4Real I was in a hospital after a nose surgery for 5 days and lost 4 kg. Couldn't eat anything, only berries, watermelon and grinded vegetables (thank to my parents). Obviously no exercises, only 12-14 hours sleep. A bad example of losing weight, yet effective :)

@@TheBarOst it wasn't not only because you eat fruits and less food tho. Body recovery need more extra calorie in order to repairing cells and build new one. If you eat normally like your daily diets, you still will lose weight.

I went to a Mexican restaurant and the amount I received for my meal literally shocked me. It was a meal for two grown men. I took half home and ate it for dinner. All of the portion sizes we get are for at least two people and it's being served to one.

Indeed. Serving size of meat should be 4 oz. Restaurants give you 3x that much!!! It is CRAZY!!! I literally eat 3 to 4 times off of an average size steak. Most people finish it in one sitting AND a baked potato & veggies!! Then they wonder why they gain weight!

I usually make 3 meals out of one restaurant meal.

Doris L that’s why I only eat one meal a day, it’s enough

@@macchris4521 Just leave out the veggies and potato problem solved. Meat in itself is good for losing weight. Lean, unprocessed meat of course.

This is a toxic society. Corporations relentlessly produce and market toxic "food" on every shelf and vending machine--it's like living in an environment where alcohol and opioids are on every shelf around every checkout counter, really cheap. Then corporate treatment of employees makes their lives so harried they have no time, or will, to make good food. One filthy hand shakes the other. The medical-industrial complex depends on ubiquity of bad food and vice-versa.

Good observation that the healthcare professionals themselves can't keep a healthy weight. The answer is actually quite simple and this constant emphasis on fruits and vegetables is coming from a totally sincere place but scientifically completely WRONG! Evolutionarily speaking, fruits and vegetables are not species-appropriate nutrition for humans. We are by evolution CARNIVORES, not omnivores or ruminants. That's why we are doing so poorly. Until I began eating only animals, eggs, and some cheese I was overweight, took medications for high blood pressure, and was always struggling with my food intake and gaining fat. Now I have much more energy on just 2 meals/day and since what I eat has no carbs but lots of nutrition, I am rarely very hungry and don't have to eat much at all. Carnivore is much more economical, simple and all round healthier. It is obviously our natural food= MEAT.

​@@407alfredo Sorry, no. Most humans evolved to be opportunistic meat-feeders: when meat was available, we ate it, and it provided a good hit of energy. However, a great deal of energy was expended on getting it in the first place. Most of our calories came from gathering (roots, fruits, etc.), which could be a fairly leisurely activity. It's useful to consider human teeth and fingernails. Our canines and incisors (the animal-killing and meat-tearing teeth) aren't up to much, whereas we have a lot of flat teeth further back, evolved for grinding plants, and our fingernails are pathetic. Carnivores have massive canines and, frequently, sharp claws. Some scientists also think that our way of drinking (sucking) allies us to the herbivores, as opposed to the carnivores and some omnivores (lapping and gulping). However, geography has a great deal to do with the human diet. If you're an Inuit, very few plants are available and you'll live mostly on caribou, seals and fish. If you're lucky enough to grow up in the Mediterranean, the climate obligingly provides abundant fruits, vegetables, and grain, and people raise goats for meat and milk (the rocky hills are no good for cows, but goats eat almost anything), and if you live by the sea there are plentiful fish. Although the Inuit are adapted to meat-eating, historically they've had shorter lives than those Greeks and Italians--though other factors like extreme weather may play a role. Anyway, meat-eating is unquestionably a major factor pushing the planet toward ecological breakdown. Humans can live on a diet of no meat or very little, and it's selfish to be so relentlessly carnivorous (and you might want to consider the horrendous suffering of factory-farmed animals). By the way, your diet may be working for now, but dieticians will tell you that it's seriously lacking in fibre (heart disease, bowel cancer, etc.) and you'll probably get gout (accumulation of uric acid). And unless you're buying very high-end meat, you'll be ingesting a lot of antibiotics and other nasties.

It always amazes non-Americans that so many poor people continue to vote for corrupt politicians in the pocket of Big Food. The bloated orange thug comes to mind. What a masterpiece of brainwashing.

Red88Rex yes. You know..the food industries and lobbyists say they use corn to speed up food production and to avert starvation in the world..i dont understand why fresh fruits and veggies cant be grown properly and sold along with processed food...why cant people choose? Why are farmers being told not to use healthy stuff to grow healthy food..why is it always about money? Why are people who would be normal weight in developing countries..end up grossly obese? i hope my kids and my grandkids have a long life..but look at the bad stuff being put in food now. And one other thing..in some of the major cities in the U.S...restaurants and supermarkets throw out perfectly good food..and wont let people get the stuff without calling security..they say they are afraid of getting sued. Why cant these places just have a food giveaway day where they could give the food away. That is what they do in France. Sometimes the way this country does when it comes to food sucks.

Red88Rex ... Corn farmers shouldn’t be punished because people can’t control their eating.

I have roommates who drink a 12 pack of beer every day, plus the eat pizza and smoke cigarettes.

Alisa Ottman At least there are boxes to take home your leftovers, so you make several meals out of one restaurant order.

SaxonVoter v

good thing to do is ask for a box when you get your plate then immediately put half in the box. eat that another time.

lol then youre an idiot

Gaius Scipio So It’s the government’s fault and companies’ fault that you’re fat????

@Stutz Victor - Agreed. Much is due to sheer laziness.

@@genli5603 both gain a profit by holding you fat, lazy and, on some level, even stupid by just eating trash, but it is only possible, because you let it happen by buying lies and fast food - so who is to blame than all three parties

ya at 2:17 it even says its part 4 heh

Ooooh HBO done messed up 😂 slight error I suppose

stay hungry,stay foolish.

Not either-or. BOTH. Exercise is NECESSARY, especially to maintain weight loss, and absolutely for cardiovascular health and boosting metabolism/keeping insulin low, not to mention mood improvement and just plain filling up time you'd otherwise snack in. It won't, however, make you lose weight. Calorie restriction is the ONLY thing that will do that. Of course, that also means eating good food because there's no room for junk on a low-cal diet.

I think it's also important for people to realize that eating fruit isn't a solution either. Fruit still has lots of sugar, though it is better than eating candy. It's funny that I saw all the food in this documentary, but the first time I wanted to eat was when I saw that sliced melon.

So true

@@leerwesen the fruit has a protective factor with the fiber, it’s not the same as eating pure fructose that is extracted from food. The fiber prevents you from eating too much fruit. We should enjoy fruits when they are in season.

"Your dollar", not "you're". "You are" committed, not "your".

also this is the dumbest idea, because people already are voting with their dollars, and they are choosing animal products.. it need to be outlawed

Anna Szablewski I can, for myself, and I do. I urge people like me to do the same but how do we help the kids that aren’t in a position to do this? I have such sympathy for the kids that are helpless and such anger for adults with healthy food accessible and affordable (for them) that still choose to buy and eat junk! They are perpetuating the problem. This lights a fire in me to fight to change it!

Sounds easy, but most obese people live in poorer areas. Moreover, there are more fast food outlets in poor neighborhoods where the folks who are working, work two jobs to pay the damn rent. F-food is cheap, accessible, and instant - perfect if you are exhausted. Furthermore, in poor areas, the markets/stores don't sell fresh, unprocessed, produce and meats.

this is the only way

We can lobby for it without too much political interference from outside lobby groups of big business..

Kids that live nearby usually do play at the school when the school is closed but they're not supposed to. Are you sure you were supposed to go to the catholic school playground? Or did you just go because it was nearby? How could the government force the church to let the public use their playground?

and it tastes amazing

When i was in school, 1960s, 1970s, PE was full of sadistic bullying. I dropped out. Yes, PE needs to be fun and inclusive.

Or parents could parent?

Can't outwork a bad diet

I agree. The sad part is they're only going to be more depressed as they age and die a horribly slow death still very early.

That's totally true! cooking with raw ingredient only only makes food nutritious also you keep move

While I agree that eating fruits and veggies are essential. (I'm a blender addict), there has to be places where kids can learn that physical activity is fun. They need the sun for vitamin d and fresh air. Beyond that, at parks, there is no advertising, and that matters immensely.

The amount of VD needed equals to about 4 minutes in the sun

And yet, in Britan, rickets is on the rise, mostly because kids are raised from mother's milk to junk food, and because they don't get out enough to get their 4 minutes of sun. Besides, you can't overdue. The body can store vitamin d to a degree, for days, seasons when there is no sun. People in northern climates often lack it, which causes depression as well. Parks don't hurt, they only help. Certainly, they are only part of the problem, but they are a part of it.

Exactly, Charlee C. I say , that to my mother who is overweight, possibly obese for her height. I jog for 30 minutes as soon as I wake up. On bad weather days I work out to a fitness video on KZfaq for 30 minutes. I ask my mother to join me and she dismisses it. Won't be so dismissive once she gts diabetes. Or maybe she will adopt the fatalist f*** it attitude my grandmother had. It's a self imposed prison and it is sad how many excuses people will make to not care for their health. They don't see they are robbing their children, friends, employers, and communities from their full presence.

Where are you and your husband from? Just curious for the comparison. I’m Canadian myself.

@@britt905 Spain and Germany. And Germnay has big portions! In Spain we love mediterranean food and we put olive oil in everything

@@maferdash It kind of depends. I remember always splitting meals at a steakhouse with my g/f. But that's a steakhouse. If I eat fast food, I never order drinks, and very rarely fries. One of my indulgences is a triple burger in the late morning some days after a workout...just a burger, a glass of water, and nothing else. Just two days ago, I ordered "super nachos" from a Mexican restaurant near me. Ate about half, got a box, the next half was my lunch yesterday. I don't know too many people who actually eat the whole portion of food in some of those places. The last time I ate a dessert in a restaurant I think it was Cheesecake Factory. I don't think I ate anything but the dessert...because that's what you go there for (even though they and others serve main meal food too). Other Americans do it differently, but every single one of us will know the term "doggie bag" which I am told is unique to the US (it's a bag you ask for leftovers to go into so you can take them home and have later).

its african american actualy....... just sayin

I get your point, but he's not wrong.

Knowing things are fucked up on a systemic level and being to solve your own problems caused in part by that (weight loss is simple, but not easy) are two very different things.

+Red88Rex "simply wasn't much else to do other than go outside and play with the other kids" YES. THERE. WAS. Play super nintendo. No time to meet kids, need to grind secret of mana to level 60 or so (impossible). I'm around your vintage as well ;)

I played the absolute hell out of my SNES and still do all the time (playing FF6 right now). It's just I balanced my time out. I loved to swim every day in the summer and ride my bike all over town, plus I played several sports and was quite good at them. I'm still super fit to this day and I play games while I'm doing my cardio! fwiw my next door neighbor was into the same games, it was a great time :)

Red88Rex Hehe, can't remember that line, though^^ I presume that's Locke too, but in which scene? Mine was right at the beginning in Figaro castle, I believe. When I think about it, it's just the two beacons of greatest story telling of all time, (alongside excellent gameplay): FFVI and Chrono Trigger. I'll always remember these. I think they even influenced what kind of person I became (they had non-black and white morals too, unlike the still much fun, but not as valuable Zelda series IMHO.) I think as a person, I became a kind of Magus. With hints of Maduin... Best wishes, sis :)

Chanel Reid Because they had to invest in a new addiction. 😂

ForgottenKnight1 In my supermarkets they have the prepared salads for 2.50-5.00 ad it has multiple servings in there, that is cheaper than a McDonalds Value meal. Of course the problem with fat people eating salad is the dressing, they figure it is all healthy and even if they use alot it is less than their lunch. The only thing it is is less filling even if you use a bottle.

It's not ridiculous. Quality is always more expensive. People just use it as an excuse to justify eating fastfood. Even if healthy food is more expensive nobody is forcing people to buy fast food.
