The Global Junk Food Conspiracy | Bringing Fat & Sugar to the Developing World: Obesity Documentary 

She's lucky n you are smart 👍

And education is very important…your daughter is already ahead by you giving her such a good foundation for her health..

Great job! You are doing the right thing, and your daughter will one day thank you. We need more Americans to think this way. Here it's actually less expensive to eat fast food in some urban/big city areas than it is to eat fresh grown and raised food.

Good for you don't let these evil companies trick _u into getting your children hooked on junk food.

Why, KFC js healthy. Tastes good and cheap. I mean chicken us full of protein. Stop bad mouthing food. There are lots of hungry people who have no food so stop bad mouthing food

No sweetie let's have vada pav instead at least it's not processed crap on a bun

Never liked that crap to be honest, you always feel nauseous and hungry after an hour. The quality of fresh foods is so much better..

It’s a trap

Wahou ! J'ai bien entendu ? Je me demandais si j'étais la seule à penser que c'était pas de la nourriture.

i dont think its bad to occassionally go to mcdonalds or so.

I completely agree with you 100 percent. Marketing to children 👧 should be banned and outlawed.

Kolkata is the toilet of India.

How is it evil explain please

its disgusting what these industries are doing to public health, other countries, children, the environment and animals. another documentary I would suggest to you is Dominion 2018 here on RU-vid.

Underrated by whom?

I can't believe they would try to set up shop in Italy. I lived in Vicenza for 3 years and remember all the great places to get pizza. I always went to places away from the NATO bases where food was "Americanized" with more fat, salt and sugar. I took one Italian friend to a restaurant near the base for lunch. She was sick for much of the afternoon.

@@eadecamp because, as the video shows, fast food is basically NOT "food". I'm sure there are valid and tasty pizzerie in the USA too...just not this crap 🤢🤷🏻‍♀️

@@aisa2954 My husband loves to cook and makes good, healthy pizzas with a thinner crust. He will be traveling for 2 weeks and I'm going to try to make pizza spinaci.

@@eadecamp the thinner crust pizza type is called the romana pizza here. The "plump" crust pizza is the pizza napoletana (the most famous and iconic one). If you by any chance have some nice ricotta cheese, I'd absolutely suggest you to match it with the spinach 😋 Ricotta e spinaci is one of our favourite combo ♥️

@@aisa2954 Thanks. My husband was stationed in Vicenza for 3 years, and the farthest south I ever made it was Pisa. I'll have to try that. Thanks! Also figuring out what to do with the 2 packages of mozarella someone gave us. I'm getting some new cookbooks from the library, and one of them is Mediterranean.

Yes, we need daddy government to step in to stop people willingly doing things!

Many countries do this exact thing with tobacco products... Edit: never mind you just worded it awkward.

In Russia there are actually warnings and pictures of the deseases on the packaging. It doesn't really help.

Funny is im a smoker, but i can best healthy person who not a smoker in cross country cycling, so the point is exercises routine, atleast 3 or 4 days in a week, 2 hours minimum each times.

In the US 30 years ago, they had vending machine with sodas and junk food in my high school. I was weirded out.

@@plantbasedanalyst6263 not even sauce. Tomato paste!

Vending machine’s what?

Yet all this crap is American go figure

It's amazes me that people can eat junk food and soda every day My body doesn't digest all that bread and fat- I get headaches& gain at rapidly I rarely eat it Poor people in Philly - have it daily bc it's cheap and tastes good Salt and grease do taste good I wish it were banned in USA

My parents took me & my sister less than a handful of times as kids and I’m so grateful for that. I went one as an adult and tbh for fast food it’s kinda pricy & not good at all

@@WeThePeople11 That’s very true. I hate the food but I end up there every so often. I ate it as a child and it was actually quite good. I keep hoping to have that experience again.

@@WeThePeople11 this is the best comment of the decade. Thanks. The love for fast food is an illusion.

Exactly man none of the unhealthy crap even taste good it’s just the chemicals in it that keep people addicted it’s ridiculous how unrestricted it is

Ugh , yeah . McDonald's fries suck , I'd happily take my mom's baked chips over limp , soggy fake potato . And the meat ? It's worse than hospital food - like , really , I dont know why anyone would choose that over real meat that is - atleast where I live - much cheaper than a happy meal . We didn't have a McDonald's nearby until I was ten and even then when my dad gave in to peer pressure and took us there the only thing I could stomach was that tiny pie they gave on the side .

Did CocaCola force to buy their products or they pour their drinks in your throat by force? It was your choice and you're trying to get rid of responsibility

@@Artyom_K. If course we chose to drink it, it’s addictive. It’s messed up that they put up glowing billboards in schools to get kids hooked, right? We wouldn’t let cigarette companies do that. Also, your username is weird, bro

@@memomorph5375 I got gut microbiome disturbance, vit D deficiency and tooth cavities 🥲

What's even funnier is that you buy things you know aren't good for you, but you blame the companies. It's people like you that rely on government to tell you to wipe your ass.

Junk food is addictive and the more you eat the more you want and it's easy to get hooked and hard to shake p.s it's a hard journey once you are hooked but many things in life are difficult

@@marvinsmith6529 100% agree...this is where the parents need more control on the children's diet. ...I would imagine a lot of the older generation have never tasted fast food...its probably a bigger epidemic than covid

Unfortunately it's become a fad to emulate the western diet. I'm an Indian who will always pick good homemade food over fast food,and when I tell this to my relatives,almost all of them give a disapproving, almost disappointed look. Even the poorest of the poor think of pizzas and burgers as luxuries, and dream of having it, without knowing the crap used to make it all.

@@praveengeorge8413 100%. Unfortunately it's a sign of the times.

High Carb low-fat Vegan for the win!

Biochemistry matters

Well said

I honestly don’t think society, by and large, is going to wake up. When corporations are brought under control, and marketing is heavily regulated, then perhaps the stranglehold over consumers will loosen enough that people can think a bit. But it won’t happen spontaneously.

All by design. Follow the money 😂 it's pathetic.

Funny, we have a million Middle Eastern restaurant's here in the states you don't have to eat McDonald's or Ihop that place is discusting I don't ever eat there. McDonald's I eat about 3× a year, only moderation I eat junk food

So you wanted french pastries again and Nutella? LOL.

Same 😊😊😊😊

That's when you should drink soda once a year.

@@m42037speak for yourself

I am 53, from Germany and when I drive to the next big city I enjoy Indian food in the restaurant. Mc and burger king only 4-5 in the year.

Very good thing. Now they might feel sad but latter will thank you for it after they see others obese.

Its gonna Change... in a few years the government will realize, that this unhealthy Junk food is more expenwive than what they earn through taxes.. the sad Thing is, that IT will Take at least 10-15 years..

I am American and eat Indian Food from the restaurant about four times a week. It is the most delicious food on Earth and has cured me of craving junk food.

But Indian food is pretty gross

Yes , a similar thing to the west is happening . People just don't want to cook - like , who orders takeaway roti ? That's literally the easiest Indian food to prepare . Even if you're busy you can refrigerate the dough for three days . Also , mostly men living alone order food everyday because most Indians only teach their daughters how to cook and clean , they completely forget that in the 21st century boys don't get married at eighteen and therefore they need to learn how to look after themselves .

Healthy??

More numbers would be nice. Here in Germany ONE standard meal at McDonalds costs about the minimum wage - both are about 9 Euro. So... TWO meals for the Minimum wage seems not "absurdley" expensive. But more important: How expensive/cheap are other restaurant meals? Are they so much cheaper? A pizza at a small pizza restaurant always was cheaper here in germany than a MacDonalds meal... since the 80s.

@@BoothTheGrey You dont get it, its not minium wage by hours is 6% of the entire minimum wage per month haha. A standard Meal is 40 reais and for a couple is 60 reais. Our miminum wage is 1.100 reais, so about 6% of the minimum wage. A normal plate of food in a "all you can eat" here is about 20 reais. Pizza Hutt here can go for 80 reais but theres some options for 40/30.

About the Pizzas: A regular pizza on a restaurant is about 30/40 reais. But you can go to a very nice "rodizio" (i dont know the translation) and pay like 55 reais and many waiters with many different pizzas will pass you offering many different types of pizzas until you explode. But still 5% of the general minium wage per month so is acctualy very expensive cause 75% of the population dont even get the minium wage.

@@Mentesestoicas_ uh - I see - the reais is about one sixth of the euro. So 1.100 reais are about 200 Euro. The price 40/60 reais is more what you find over here in europe if you just adjust the currency. I understand now why you think the price for lower income group is too high. Maybe... MacDonalds aims more the mid/top middle class or even the upper class? Which is a bit weird cause this is supposed to be cheaper fast food. They dont do this here in europe and never did this. Hmmm... who knows what their master plan is. Probably... it has to do with making as much money as possible ;) Thanks for the little insight into brazils income dispersion. Yeah - its a shame how the normal people are pushed down with their income. Especially the european/american corporations could do SO MUCH to work together with the people for higher wages in countries where to many people get to little money. But they dont. The opposite is true. They are part of the peoblem. We in europe and at other places had the luck to have strong unions while the employers were much weaker - so the worker could fight for much better situations and even some politic parties supported that - this is decades ago. Today this seems to be a story from a weird fantasy world. Even in europa they lowered the income for the lower income groups in the last 20 years. In germany we created the biggest low income group in europe and we... well... you can say we almost "stole" many jobs from other countries in the south europe where income but also infrastructure prices a usually lower than in middle or north europe. All of this "working marketplace" is a world wide mess in "normal" jobs.

Do McDonald's, Pizza Hut e outros pode até ser, mas você não tá lembrando dos podrões de rua de bairro, pastel é o puro óleo vegetal saturado, batata frita igual, crepe, bolo de pote...Tudo isso é bem acessível hj em dia pra quem tem um salário mínimo, não existe mais o monopólio de junk food como antigamente.

U.S.A also it's a Worldly Thing

Well stated .

The US has lobbyist for every brand under the sun, influencing policies. Pretty sure the EU does too. Its why these foods still don't come with the same warning label as tobacco.

Politicians can be bought in most countries

In the us you can buy a whole Congress.

I think I'm lucky because I don't find fast food delicious. When I go out with my friends sometimes I have to eat pizza and McDonald's. For me it tastes like a plastic, i feel full and heavy but not satisfied. I love visiting seafood and steak restaurants, the food is expensive but it is way more satisfying. A good healthy steak and an octopus are way more delicious than fast food in my opinion.

Eat potatoes Rice beans eggs apples bananas😊

Is there evidence to your claim? I don't see it in Germany. People's getting fatter and unhealthier all the time, exept for a minority of a sophisticated elite.

No they're not in decline at all. Take France it's the one of the most profitable country for Macdonald. Here in France we understand fast food aren't bad but the industry behind fast food chains are. It's a question of education and regulation

I disagree.

In the uk it’s getting worse, we recently had Wendy’s joining this list of fast food chains here

I saw in other documentary how child obesity is huge in Great Britain. Besides the obese models providing a bad example for the public. At least in Wester Europe isn’t getting any better. Besides it won’t be fully removed as tourists & many immigrants eat fast foods. Maybe i can imagine that in slavic countries & smaller countries is less consumed.

Water is a chemical. Get some education.

Yea I can’t believe anyone enjoys kfc that place is nasty

lol, no one above the age of 12 actually enjoys KFC or most fast food. Most people eat it because it is fast, convenient and most are open 24hrs for drive through. Most people's thoughts when they buy fast food is not " I really want some delicious KFC". It is "I'm tired and hungry.There is KFC two blocks from here."

I'm American and despise this shit food has nothing to do with this American

I'm in America and I don't eat KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) the chickens are abused and pumped with antibiotics and growth hormone, I eat mostly organic ready meals for dinner (middle eastern food a lot) and Müseli and organic fruit for breakfast not fast food

Imagine how much more vile our fast food has become since you were here? It's almost unbelievable how disgusting most of it is now. Some of it used to be palatable 20 yrs ago. Now, it's not fit for any living organism. And it costs a mint. Whenever I want a burger, I have so few choices of where to buy one that is tasty enough to enjoy. It is so sad that American companies have sunken to this low.

The fat you eat is the fat you wear, High carb low-fat Vegan for the win!

@@user-zy3nv1jy1m humans aren't made to eat carbs

A rat study I watched on it. The rat ate meat and fat was fine...then ate sugar was fine...but eating junk like cake ie. Sugar + fat combined = very fat rat!!

Fats that are heat-extracted, boiled and cooled repeatedly and left to go rancid are terrile for the body. And that's common in industrial deep-frying.

@Skittles Agree! Dr. Berg, Keto and Intermittent Fasting saved my life! Went from 191lbs to 147lbs in 8 months - 2 years ago. Currently maintaining 150lbs and it's the best I've ever felt in my life - I'm 63 years old.

It is apparent your understanding about weight loss, exercise and nutrition is limited. Weight loss is 80 % about nutrition, diet and lifestyle and only 20 % about exercise. I am 6 feet and weighed 145 Kg (320 lbs) in 2015 and at that time I was walking for 10 Kms in a day, going to gym for 10 hours per week but still there was no result. Then I changed my approach, approached this in more scientific manner. Had get metabolism tested, every 3 months Hba1c tests, monitoring nutrition. I am 75 Kg now with lot of lean muscle. Exercise helps me retain muscle and control metabolism but main key is nutrition. From last 6 years, I have not touched wheat, rice, sugar, cold drinks, ice cream, fresh fruit juice (as its all sugar), sweets or any sort of fried food. The only time I had 2 piece of dessert was in 2022 when my brother was getting married. I work out 15 hours a week (3 hours, 5 days per week) that includes 15 Km (10 miles) of running, and rest all strength training and HIIT. I cook my food everyday, which is free from all sugar/oil that I mentioned above. I have not eaten any sort of outside food from last 6 years. Not everyone can have this level of commitment. So the end goal is to loose weight and have healthy life. If someone achieves this by surgery, its still good. I know few people who lost their weight with surgery, and they are living a happy life now. And surgery is no magical wand either, it is just a tool. My brother had that surgery in 2012, when he was just 15 and had metabolic disorder. Doctor had given him 3 months to live, but with surgery his life was protected and now he lives a healthy life. But he has to follow strict diet to keep off the weight.

@@rohanbansal9563 good to hear bro ...absolutely loved your journey

They too lazy to exercise. It's a mental disorder and he will fatten again.

I fully and 100% agree! I really have become disgusted with the food manufacturers, and they should be treated and regulated like the tobacco industry. Parents also need to be firm with their kids if the kids keep pestering them for fast food or sugary things like soda, and even if the kids complain or protest, parents need to be firm that they should be eating mostly healthy foods.

No no no, that depends on what you eat I live in America (Michigan) and I eat a lot of Mediterranean food also! I think it's better here than over there, what do you have just a small selection like Döner boxes we have Chicken Shawarma, Tawook, Kafta, much to name. I been to Germany I see the selection on the street in Berlin. You guy's eat a lot of cold cuts full of cancer causing Nitrates and high fat cheese. I eat Müseli and organic bran flakes and organic fruit in my cereal for breakfast with unsweetened almond milk.

Not everyone- I never crave it It's poison

I don't crave it, I know it's poison and I don't want to eat poison. It doesn't taste good to me, it tastes like chemicals and garbage. Sure, sugar tastes good but if I want some sugar I'll make something, I'll bake something. It won't be health food but it will be a whole lot better than manufactured processed garbage. If you eat real food for a month, delicious real food, the cravings will subside.

hell no. fight it

Nope, not me!

I know it's wrong but I want it as well but I just try to keep fast food for special occasions

That is partially correct. Most people cannot even pronounce a lot of ingredients everything from box foods to drinks.

I think you can’t really blame them since they were never shown the real risk and danger of junk food. I feel like lots of parents are just trying to put a smile on kids faces not aware that they are really causing them harm and implementing bad eating habits. But of course they are responsible to show their kids how to eat healthy

@@nazekker182 That is true. The other problem is parents can't teach their kids what they don't know themselves.

That’s based on the assumption everywhere exists a nutrition label

@@werewolfstrike7 In Brazil things do have nutrition labels. However, there’s not broad nutrition label literacy.

The upper echelons don't want education to liberate the working class, as they claim them as their slaves in silence.

Sure, let's find something funny about the cruel war that Russia is waging on the innocent country of Ukraine. You have a weird sense of humour.

Same for Vietnam though it's a matter of preference. I visited and saw very little western chains. The ones that are opened were mainly Starbucks. I asked my cousin and she said typically the taste of western fast food is too greasy and heavy. Most people in Vietnam are not used to that; they prefer their own fresh veg, herbs, rice dishes.

Truth is France is the european country with the 3rd highest McDonalds per million citizens ratio just behind Austria and Sweden

@@naturalspanish1049 yes that's true but there is an explanation: France has way less fast food options compared to say the UK or Germany. We only have 4 main chains: Mc Donalds, KFC, Dominos (disgusting) and Burger King (who re-opened after 15 years of absence). Paris especially has a ton of Mc Donald's, but Burger King is gaining market shares, it is after all a bit less trashy then Mc Donald's.. Taco Bells are rare and Five Guys doesn't seem to work here, too expensive, and fast food is already expensive in Europe, it's more of a treat for idiots and not a way of life like in Kkona...

Excessive salt is extremely dangerous.

@@marilynwillett804 so is a salt deficiency. Gotta understand the purpose of salt as a nutrient, your current metabolic state and stay within limits. Proper hydration is a given. When you are "dieting", restricting carbs or fasting and are no longer getting excess sodium from a junk diet, a deficiency can become a reality. Dietary sugar, however, is not needed by the human body at all...in fact it is the excess sugar consumption that is the key factor in making salt and fat intake a deadly combination.
