Nestle, Kellogg’s, and other big food conglomerates have been funding a massive misinformation campaign to make you think their foods are healthy.
Their goal is to get you addicted, and make billions in profits. It’s straight from Big Tobacco's playbook - literally.

As a Registered Dietitian, I dropped my membership through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics over the idea of food company sponsorships. It is unconscionable that the leading voice for human health and nutrition to accept food company sponsorships.
Good for you! My general opinion of dietitians is pretty low, but I know that there are a few good souls like you!
@@frequentlycynical642 you do realize that dietitians are food scientist right? They know more about food than anyone in the industry, so I am not sure why you wouldn't like them.

@@nickgreatpwrful5754 People are fvkn clueless. Where does the American flag come from? That should be your first fvkn question. East India Company, that's where. When North America of the 13 Global territories, Vatican included, was conquered, one white stripe changed to red. Then they changed HQ, British Jack for Union Jack. Viola, the American flag. This is why all the Presidents are from the same fvkn family of King John, who flew an all red flag. This is why the Emancipation Proclomation and the Declaration of Independence are not laws but public declarations of intent with no fvkn legal backing. Why we are all owned by a bank. Cause bonds trade more than flesh. WE ARE STILL A GODDAMN BRITISH SLAVE COLONY. Why do you think the US trafficks more people than the next 4 countries combined. Holy fvk you people need to wake up.
So true
interesting point. but the govt itself. pushes guidelines that are poisonous. anything processed (UPF) wouldn’t matter if they had the cleanest ingredients list. if it has been pulverized. it is harmful. so. all UPF fits that description. impossible for it to not be harmful. a single bite. or. a whole bag. interesting that cereal lowers cholesterol. as if that is a good thing. that means it has over ruled your own systems. cholesterol should never be modified. that is harmful. take a peek at Dr. Chris van Tulleken his latest book is an eye opener. no matter the processed food market u find your self in. should be illegal to call it food. as. food nourishes. that stuff. is anti food.
Note that if an individual prints currency, they get prison. Central banksters get pay raise and ability to share dividends.
Greed is the backbone of modern society
You sound poor.
It’s Toxic Capitalism
All capitalism is toxic.
No it isn’t.
that's just capitalism, and it's not even that new
Scrap it. The American healthcare system, the food industry, the whole damn government. It's beyond fixing. Let's just stop playing the game, and start demanding accountability.
Include the pharmaceutical industry and I'm with you. What would you replace it with?
simple method is to boycott everything, cook at home, fresh healthy foods, avoid restaurants, fast food places, avoid anything that has barcodes in it. This will send a message and things will change rapidly however, people don`t care or try, when life is simple they get used it and the FDA loves it.
I doubt anything other than a French Revolution scenario has even the slightest chance of fixing this system...
And technically we could do that revolution. Trouble is trying to get people out of their artificial camps and realize that the best thing for society is social cooperation. Signal boosting people who have ideas about what's good for the whole room, not just the guys at the head of the table. Start by stripping away anything that's obviously from a time when people believed that there should be a head of the table. This idea that I can't win if that guy is in my way is destroying us.
Good intentioned authoritarianism is still authoritarian.
The food industry keeps the pharmaceutical industry fully supplied with fresh victims.
The sad truth is bayer-monsanto is part of both, "food" industry and pharmaceutical industry since they are a massive chemical company. Now Nestle is starting to produce diabetes medicines while also being maybe the number one "producer" of diabetes.

BEST COMMENT
Getting rich from making people sick is as evil as you can get. 😮
Not quite, there is mass murder, war, genocide, nuclear chemical biological and forced abortion. Food design is just slavery. Voluntary slavery and addiction. There may be some mass killing going on but it is usually animals. Don't even look into that. If slaughter houses had glass walls. If people had to have their windows down as they drive through cattle industry country.
I am a nurse in the US, it makes me very sad to see how sick all my patients are, I try to teach them to at least avoid ultra processed foods and many patients say that they are too sick now to cook so they just eat bags of chips and frozen meals. It's self sustaining downward spiral for so many people ( even seen very young patients 30 years old bed bound). It's sickening what is allowed in this country.
Call me crazy, but at some point, you have to start wondering if this is deliberate.
Leaders don't care.
I clean for a veteran like this. He's so unhealthy, smoking has taken most of his teeth. He has diabetes, and has already lost 3 toes. When I clean his fridge it's full of Pepsi, candy bars, frozen dinners and chips. He no longer smokes now but the damage is already done. He needs hip surgery but he was told he needs to lose 10 Lbs to get it. That's never going to happen, he can barely walk. He uses his scooter to get to the grocery store for chips, Pepsi, candy and lotto tickets. Nice guy but he's a hot mess.
And then "they" make TV shows about all the unhealthy people.
@@susanwenger8448They trashed the smokers first.
I spent some time in a coma. I had to relearn to drink, eat, walk, etc. It also reset my ability to taste food. Most everything tasted like chemicals and metals. Our food is foul.
Hope you recover, I nearly fell into one recently, thank god I toughed through it long enough to get to a hospital. Makes you appreciate things in life hard.
I’m sorry you went through that, but it probably saved you in the long term, if it caused you to change your diet I live in Europe, and prior to changing my diet to wfpb vegan, I tried some M&Ms after not eating anything from America for several years and they tasted like salt. It was crazy but it’s true. I don’t eat American foods anymore, ever. Not even “pure” foods like peanut butter. It still has preservatives, sugar, added oils (?Why?), etc. You’re one of the lucky ones, imo. You discover the truth. Sending you good vibes for your health
Cutting out sugar is hard. It's in almost everything. If it's labeled low fat, more sugar is added to improve taste. Years ago I switched from Diet Coke to Regular Coca cola. I lost 50#. Now, I don't drink soda period. Even eating whole foods is questionable in America and other countries. The soil is depleted of nutrients. Corporate farms don't rotate crops, and or put nutrients back in the soil that grow our food. Even Certfied Organic doesn't mean much. IMHO that was just a scare tactic and a way for these companies to charge a higher price. Coffee creamers are not made equally. Read your labels. Canola oil is bad for you. Its made from rapeseed oil, which is very bad. Remember when they promoted Heart Healthy? Pay attention to how foods you eat make you feel.
It’s unfortunate we had to go through extreme illness to give up industrial food-like products and eat right.
That tracks. Not the same thing, but when I came out the other side of covid I couldn't - and still can't - stomach ultra-processed stuff. It's like the disease hit the factory-reset button on my nose and my tongue.

@@NeoFryBoy Still, it's only with the help of chem engineers that companies are even able to make us sick with their carcinogenic food. It's not the managers, owners or CEOs that build the cR@p they want us to call 'food'.

WOW what a marvelous quote, where did you find it. A long time ago they did not realize the danger of legalizing alcohol.
@@bunniesandroses499 If alcohol were evil, God wouldn't have told Jeremiah to tell the Kenites to drink it in Chapter 35 or us to do it in remembrance of him during Passover. It is not handled well by some people and they shouldn't partake of it. Also because of that it shouldn't be socially accepted that it be used overtly or too much. But it shouldn't be "illegal". Alcohol is only truly evil to control freaks like Kenites n Karens.
Yes, just look at the weirdo alphabet cults and all the weirdos forcing us to celebrate it.
I'm from Europe. When I was 19 I went to the US for 6 months. That's the only time in my entire life I gained weight and became a bit chubby. When I went back home, I lost that weight again without even doing anything. Food culture in the US really is insane - and I've seen my own country import more and more of it for the last 15 years... with predictable results. Take care out there.
I don't think it's just the culture, but the actual food supply itself that's a problem. So many people are actively trying to lose weight but just can't pull it off. Why? On such a massive scale you cannot simply dismiss that as a willpower issue.
EU shithole, have the same problems as US
I went to Germany in 1996. The food there was incredible. Must more tasty, even the McDonalds. There’s so much garbage in our food. Aldi has been changing ingredients on their products, adding garbage. It started out as a great alternative to US grocery stores, but now they’re falling in line with all other American bad eating habits and ingredients.
@@sabrinapittsley2304 There's 'garbage' in european food too. You can't trust labels because each country has different labelling requirements by law. Additionally, not everything in our food is bad - even additives - it all depends on your diet as a whole.
Thank you!
I am a regular person. I must admit that now, at 67 years of age, I FIRMLY believe that our FDA and the systems in place to be of benefit to me, as a US citizen, are DESIGNED to hurt me and those I love. This, from my own limited exploration... And COMMON SENSE.

It's the big companies who are creating a problem first and then coming up with a product to appear as the morally superiour saviours.

Food, food everywhere! And yet, even with more food than humanity knows what to do with, we are starving for better health.
no body is starving... these people are very happy eating this garbage.... the info is available everywhere and people love the lies.
I cut out sugar from my diet and a lot of my health issues cleared up. My friend cut out processed foods and she's been lossing a lot of weight. If I could make more of the foods I can safely eat than I will. It's a lot cheaper too. My mom grows a lot of her own food and she's thriving.
I knew processed foods were purposefully designed to be addicting. I didn't know they were owned by tobacco companies for a long time. That explains so much.
I worked for Kraft at one point in my life and can vouch that your statement is correct. Kraft was owned by Philip Morris at the time. We had a smoking breakroom with cigarette vending machines that sold their cigarettes. It was cheaper to buy them from their vending machines rather than going down the road to the convenience store.
Addicting how, isn't all food addicting? You have to constantly eat to stay alive, not because you're addicted to eating food.
my two biggest addictions, vaping and reeses puffs
@@JeffreyAllanBackowski not only that, carbs or sugar withdrawal creates killers, we have to have it (moderation )
@@JeffreyAllanBackowski sugar has addictive components as a consequence of the way our brains interpret flavors. Evolutionarily, sugar and fat are basically condensed energy, especially sugar. And for most of human history it was rare enough, and so frequently in the form of fruit or vegetables, which have tremendous nutritional value, it was really difficult to eat an unhealthy amount of sugar. But these days sugar is in everything, especially in the US; apparently our store bought bread tastes like cake to Europeans. It’s not addictive in the sense that meth is addictive, but it’s addictive in that our brains believe it to be something we need to have and, especially in unfilling or nutritionally poor foods like soda and candy, push us to eat more than we need to. That’s why mindfulness in eating is important; your brain isn’t automatically logical, you have to make a conscious effort. Just watch how much soda you drink and try to avoid sugary snacks; fruit is great instead, it has other nutrients that candy lacks so you can help to offset the metabolic effects, and you’re more likely to actually feel full and stop eating.
Once I went to Thailand and ate 100% natural food. It took about a week for me to realize how bad our food is. I could ‘feel’ the results in my body. It’s like going to the dentist, getting your teeth cleaned, and realizing you never had a clue about how unclean your teeth really were.
Even countries like these started using Maggi cubes, MSG and other additives to make them tastier. Don't be fooled
@@fraizie6815why is msg bad? Your tomatoes have msg. It’s found in nature.
@@fraizie6815 That is true. Everyone is doing it now (using MSG). But I was very rural. The food was 100% home grown and the difference was extremely noticeable, otherwise I would not have posted.
You should try going vegan for six weeks if you want to feel real results. I did it in early 2020 before cancer destroyed my liver and after six weeks, not only the cancer symptoms went away, but everything else that used to bother me like athlete's foot, heartburn, indigestion, or the occasional headache. I have not needed any kind of med since then and have felt great every day.
@@mgoh1984 diet has nothing to do with a fungal skin infections like athlete's foot, unless you had it tested and confirmed it was fungal, it was likely just something like psoriasis which can be impacted by diet.

Nausea, food cravings, stomach pain, this is ridiculous. I used to love cooking. I now hate cooking and eating. It feels like a chore.
You are completely correct. I was 400 pounds a few years ago, I stoped eating anything I did not prepare myself and I lost a ton of weight, now I’m sitting at 220 with a 15% body fat. Food is killing us all

I’m from the US and have been traveling in various countries on the African continent for the last ~2 years. When I first went to a supermarket I was astonished at how cheap fresh fruits and vegetables were… truth is, they should be cheaper than ALL processed foods because they go directly from a farm to the supermarket versus processed foods that take so much time and marketing to create/sell. Yet, in the US, fresh fruits and veggies are ridiculously priced to encourage buying cheaper, disgusting processed foods. Shame and sham!!!!
same in the UK too
Don’t know what world you are living in. But fruits, vegetables, Whole Foods and meat are cheaper than trash food. You can get like 7 bananas for 2 or 3 dollars while a back of small trash chips are 3, tie that with a soda and youl end up spending 7 bucks. Then you will end up hungry 30 minutes later after eating trash.

I shop on the outside wall of the grocery store. I only do bout 90% carnivore, 10% keto. Lost 70+ pounds, blood work great, never go back.
Good for you but do you know if or what chemicals are in your meat?
@@BandiMasha I understand, but the amount vs. In the middle of the store will be miniscule in caparison. I prefer the real food over processed garbage.
Do you know how much antibiotics go into your meat and what your meat is being fed before it is killed? Your meat isn't safe lol.
And you'd probably be healthier if you did the same thing with the outside of the grocery store but not keto and not fully loaded with saturated fat.
What's really shitty is this processed food is often cheaper and more convenient than cooking your own healthier meals at home.
LOL 😂, I buy my chicken on sale along with my hamburgers and eggs. Sorry, I eat cheaper now than when buying 7 dollar boxes of cereal and 5 dollar loafs of bread.
The correlating problem with ultra-processed food is marketing has spent billions to convince people that they don't have time to cook for themselves anymore. It's a way to make their products "essential" to the modern audience. On top of that, corporate jobs have pushed the boundaries of work life balance, making it harder for people to cook for themselves. It's all related.
AND... If you work more you can borrow more and spend more. More money in the economy gives the impression the economy is good. If you spend less, borrow less, there is less money circulating, you have more time and might even save some money. You are better off and less controllable. All of that is bad for the economy and overlord. Just remember, Every message directed at you is created by someone who wants you to think and act a certain way. Not just ads, every single message directed at you.
As someone that cooks every week (enough for 6 or 7 days) i’ve often lamented how the hell i’ll have time to cook when I have kids and more mouths to feed. I can certainly make time, but the thought itself is almost stressful.
@@MisterGamesso the cultural shift from sustenance farming to being 100% reliant on corporate food is a conspiracy; you don't say?

"Natural Flavoring" can mean any one or more of 10,000+ ingredients, the food manufacturers DO NOT have to legally divulge.
I’ve now noticed some ingredient labels saying they contain a “bioengineered food product/ingredient without saying WHAT IT REALLY IS.
@@sabrinapittsley2304 There's a lot of nonsense activist groups that think GMO and Bioengineering food is guys in lab coats with chemicals mixing up DNA. Really all it means is cross breeding plants by rubbing pollen between their flowers just like bees do except they keep track of it seeing how the new plant grows. Sometimes its new plants, sometimes its just bigger sweeter corn. when it does a good job instead of letting it keep mixing in the existing population, they pull it out and try to grow more of it. Keep doing that eventually things get bigger and yummier. it's really the obvious solution that anyone would come up with. Some plants just wont cross pollinate, looking for plants that can cross pollinate and trying lots of combinations is what makes it science. Kinda like if you want a really fast horse you breed 2 really fast horses and hope for the best. In that way, it doesn't really matter what is bioengineered. People just lobbied for labels.

Google every ingredient that you don't know what it is. I was shocked at what I was finding. It's taken me 3 years but I changed everything about what I eat.
Last year I made a hard decision. I'm just going to eat foods that I prepare myself. I occasionally buy premade items that I can't easily make yet, but the mastery I gain in preparing foods that I want to eat the less I feel the need to buy much beyond the basics: flour, butter, oil, beans, rice, fruits/veg, etc.. The cost of doing this is time. My new hobby is cooking, which I avoided doing much of for 5+ decades. YT has a huge selection of cooking videos and if you search, you can find someone who fits your style/tastes and learn from them. Don't be afraid to buy tools that will make your food prep easier and help you enjoy the learning journey. Over the long term you can save money, but the adding cost of getting the right tools will initially consume the savings. For me, shopping expenses are down by one-third as I am evolving my diet based on what I like and my body responds too.
The tools are imperative!
Even as a kid, I always found it off how cereal commercials constantly talked about its so-called health benefits. I mean, the stuff is essentially pieces of candied bread.

I randomly decided last week to stop eating ultra & processed foods and cook as much as possible. Then I see this video recommendation. Thank you so much for confirming what I have internally been feeling. This non-food is slowly killing us!
As a layman, most people don't know what this video tells us. Fortunately, my spouse and I have been adherents of natural, unprocessed foods for the majority of our diet. As a result, I'm 65, take no medications, and regularly exercise. Great video! Our oligopolistic food industry has produced a rate of obesity that defines Americans as unhealthy.
They not just poisning us with food, but also with sleep deprivation.
And pharmaceuticals
@@thecatdoctor7700I’d say this is the bigger issue. I’m a teacher and most of my students’ parents are on adderall/vyvanse and antidepressants
Who? Why are you blaming random powers that be for your sleep deprivation? Are you poor and working 2-3 jobs? Quit one of them and start watching budget food prep on youtube. Your health will improve and you can save money.
@@Cocoisagordonsetterbecause processed carbohydrates disrupt sleep.
Stop exercising,the dumbest trend recently.people are sleeping ridiculous hours because of it
Rule of thumb: if it's being advertised, don't buy it! The shorter the ingredient list, the better. Edit: some people are taking this WAY out of context; my point is an oversimplified explanation of a complex and broken system. My point is that food should not be adulterated or ultra processed.. Rather, it should be as close to nature as possible.
No nutritional label is healthy.... natural foods
That isn't necessarily the case. For example when I cook at home from scratch most of my recipes have anywhere from 10 to 40 ingredients, and its all about knowing what each one does. A much better tactic is googling things on food labels so you understand what they do. Take soy lecithin as an example, just reading that it sounds vaguely scary. Like what is it, is it a preservative, a poison? All you would know is that soy was involved at some part of this process. In actuality its an emulsifier, its job is to bind together oil and water which helps with preservation, creaminess, and overall textural experience. On the other hand modified corn syrup is a sweetener linked to many cancers, as well as obesity concerns. It has many names on a label so generally speaking you need to be a bit more aware of it. There are also many foods with one or few ingredients that are incredibly unhealthy, like cured meats. Cured meats are typically made by salting and smoking meat to achieve a desired flavour, and they are also a type one carcinogen. Reading the ingredients you'd probably see around 3 to 10 ingrediente depending on the brand. TLDR: google whats on your labels to better understand why something is there and what the health risks are
@@jensanruby6739 Appreciate the in-depth explanation and example.
Soy is bad for boys and men anyway.
@@jensanruby6739 If your food needs an emulsifier like soy lecithin for texture that means it's highly processed. Highly processed foods are unhealthy not just because of specific unhealthy ingredients but also because of high calorie density which messes with your body's natural ability to know when you've eaten enough. So the rule of thumb is still correct. If it's being advertised, don't buy it.
No shit. In the grocery store I almost get run over when I read labels. And the so-called fresh foods make me sick.
If americans skip one processed meal or snack a day, and it only impacts sales by 7%, then ya'll eating too often.
That professor of nutrition has a very ironic name, Nestle. Way back in the bad 'ol days, my mom used to say eating the box the cereal came in was more nutritious.
So basically, these CEOs from those huge corporations don't give a rat's a$$ if people die, as long a they're raking in the billions. I mean after all, people are but only consumers 😢
We have the industrialized world's most unhealthy population in spite of being the wealthiest nation and having the most expensive health care. A huge part of the problem is our terrible diet filled with the processed foods pushed by the corporate food producers, our FDA and the farm bill. This issue is huge and it is just one of the reason I am voting for RFK Jr and his running mate Nicole Shanahan who are both committed to cleaning up our food supply and our soil to address the chronic disease epidemic that plagues 60% of our population. That number was 6% in the 1960's when JFK was president. They are the ONLY candidates sounding the alarm about this and having a plan to course correct. I hope everyone will look at their platform and give them your vote if you care about the health of your family, your friends and yourself.

If anyone is curious why Cheerios sport the Celiac Foundation logo, tldr: they were selling glutened food as gluten free for years and made people sick, then got caught and now donate to the Celiac Foundation. It’s allowable to take failing product and mix it down until it just passes tests. This is how factory food is made!
Cheerios is full of GMOs, just read the label. I expect that sometime soon the requirements labeling GMOs will end to protect the conglomerates. EVERY major brand, GM, Kelloggs, Quaker, Post, all use GMOs. I would NEVER feed them or any of these to kids. There's maybe 10% if even that, in grocery stores that us actually healthy to eat. I buy virtually no traditional name brands. Once I stopped eating them I lost 10 lbs in a week from bloating, my puffy eyes and cheeks went away, I was no longer bloated like I was 8 months pregnant, and I wasn't chronically fatigued. It takes label reading and rethinking what you buy and how you prepare your meals, but truly make you feel better. Lunchables is one of the most disgusting foods ever made, sold, and eaten by kids. I couldn't believe how awful this product tastes and how unhealthy it is. I gave up sodas more than 25 years ago. I don't, can't, eat fast food. It literally tastes disgusting to me. School lunches are horrible. Then every physician wants to put you on drugs to counteract the scrappy foods eaten. In 1980 hardly anyone was obese. Look at now. It's an epidemic in this country.
Not unlike Wal Mart trying to trick employees to work off the clock, and then got caught. Now to CYA, you will be punished or fired for working off the clock.
Cheerios has forever chemicals inside.
In 1989, just days after my father died from emphysema from smoking, I opened a magazine to see a full page ad by Camel cigarettes. It was mocking people who are sensitive to cigarette smoke and giving smokers snappy comebacks to say to these folks. It was absolutely disgusting. Food companies and tobacco companies aren't any more virtuous today. Never forget that the goal always was and always will be to make more money. Their tactics are just a whole lot more devious.
Glad I grew up Mormon. We didn't need to wait until 1998 to know tobacco was shit for people.
The goal is to make us sick, money is just an excuse to hook us up into frenesy
@Cocoisagordonsetter Same.
@Cocoisagordonsetter I grew up in Provo and smoked weed before church. Glad I'm still Mormon and shit.
@@reidellis1988 I'm not sure what to make of your comment. LOL Good for you????? Provo sucks though man, my condolences. I have 3 aunts that died from smoking related cancers. Hopefully that won't be your demise.
I don't know a single person who thinks that any of these foods are healthy.
I've learned 2 valuable lessons: 1) Generally stay away from something that is heavily advertised. 2) If a product is free, then you are the product.
The craziest part for me is that when I stopped eating this stuff for a while, most of it became totally unpalatable to me. It may be engineered to be addictive, but the engineering is tailored to the food environment in the context of a general trend over the last century to eat a lot of things that ancient humans wouldn't even recognize as food.
Same for me, nothing appealing about doritos or a jolly ranchers, and I wretch if i imagine eating a chicken nugget or pop tart. But boiled whole grain oats make my mouth water
Yeah, I went to a third world country where most of our food was handmade by necessity. I couldn't believe how foul North American food tasted when I got back. American bread is especially bad!
@@noleftturnunstoned our bread mostly tastes like Styrofoam to me if I haven't had it for long enough
We say we can "taste the fake". It's so true that the healthier you eat to more aware you become. I recently ate some Oreos because they were available free at a place I was waiting, and for the first time in my life I did not enjoy them. I could totally "taste the fake". However, do you think I stopped eating them? (I've heard that they are more addictive than crack, and I believe it)
As a teenager, I mostly stopped eating fast and processed food and when I smell something like a Dorito, it’s no different than a portapotty in the summer. Absolutely disgusting.
My new motto is now "If it comes from the farm, buy it. If it comes from a factory, pass on it."
Local farm/ farmer. Where you can see what goes in to your food...
... and what about 'factory farms'
when it comes from a farm but they bought it from the grocery store to sell at a higher price
@@DrTofutybeastfactory farms is the same as corporate process food it's bad for you
@@DrTofutybeast these are not factory farms. Small farms.
I gave up processed foods including grains and sugar 6 years ago. I eat lots of meat, veggies, fish and small amounts of dairy and nuts. I'm healthier in my 40's than I was in my 20's.
PREACH! I’ve been warning people about these large food corporations for decades.
They've always lied about nutrition. They also skimp on the amount given. Had some soup last night that was significantly less meat and noodles than I've had before. We pay more for less now.

Color me surprised after learning that normal milk doesn't even have more calcium than a cup of broccoli, despite the Got Milk? and marketing about how full of calcium and bone healthy it was. Milk substitutes like oat and almond milk have far more calcium than normal milk so all that stuff was just bunk marketing for the farming industry.
I just avoid anything out of a can. Make your own soup
@@dao8805 Is RFK jr still running? I thought he dropped out

I've been told by pedeatricians that they have to tell parents that most juices marketed towards kids are actually ultra-processed, high in sugar and therefor not recommended for kids. They give to kids, even toddlers, thinking it'll be better that making juices at home because the box says things like "healthy! High in vitamins!"... Edit: since people are fighting in my responses, what I've heard is: no juices for children when they're going from breastmilk/formula to food, homemade or otherwise, they're learning how to eat and having juices will make them feel full with little nutritional value while making them dislike plain water. For older kids, homemade juice is fine but the main drink should be water.
When I see parents give their kids juice I did a little inside. They've just created a lifelong addict 🥺
The survival of the fittest at work. Poor kids, they don't even get a chance to move past their parents irresponsibility.
That's because the "parents" are irresponsible, lazy, mouth-breathing morons.
@@chenanigans Bro. Humans crave sugar, fat and salt. We will always crave sweet, salty, and fatty.
It's true that juice is good for you but even if you make your own juice you're still going to have too much sugar. Just eat the fruit, it slows the sugar intake
I consider marketing people as the worst scumbags ever ! Worst than lawyers , even politicians!
Marketing people have absolutely nothing to do with the formulation of the food. When placing blame, a large part goes to those who buy the raw food with lots of herbicides and pesticides, those who formulate the recipe to preserve the food for years on end, and those who walk down the grocery aisles and put the food in the grocery baskets. Sadly, if we stopped using pesticides/herbicides, 2/3rds of our food supply would disappear with next years crops. And if we did not use preservatives, the food would all go bad within a week, well before it even reached the grocery shelves.
Bro why is this surprising to anyone? Maybe it's because I didn't grow up on a standard American diet, but I thought it was common knowledge that any and all ultra-processed foods are bad for you.
My wife and I started trying to grow our own food, and to cook at home more back in 2019. We almost immediately started losing weight, and I haven't had to take antacids for a couple of years, when I used to have to fight heartburn every night. Since we started making our own food, we have felt better, had more energy, and the lost weight looks great on my wife and I. (She lost 70 pounds!) The sad part is that there are so many out there who do not have the time, or the space, or the money to do the same as we are. We know people are being poisoned, and not everyone can avoid it.
Right on. Since you do have free time, please consider making videos or articles about what you've learned. The online gardening cultures are too saturated with speculation and vague statements with no science or proof. If you show people a cheap or energy-efficient way to grow something, they'll take note. There's always something a person can do, no matter their living situation. Even a micro apartment can grow a staggering density of stuff if the right plants are chosen and the plants are properly cared for & trained. The bit I always tell people is "Windows block UV light. The light through a window looks fine to us, and can even burn us sometimes, but it will never provide enough light for most plants. Get the plants outdoors or get UV grow lights."
So is that why if I have meat from hunting, mushrooms from foraging, and vegetables om my backyard garden, I find I’m properly satisfied in full from a shocking little amount of food, but then I go to McDonald’s and I can have six cheeseburgers and three big cokes, and still find I’m hungry?
When they pulled Zantac was my wakeup call. None of the other products worked and I suffered reflux that always hit me in my sleep. There's just nothing like waking up after inhaling clear acid and feeling your throat start to close. I had to examine every aspect of my diet, even my beer. When I had Zantac I could drink any beer I wanted. Today the only beer that does not cause me stomach issues is Guinness, of all things. It tastes like liquid Pumpernickel but it doesn't do anything to my gut. So I learned to like it. I also went low-carb but had a hard time being true to it. Eventually I zeroed in on the biggest culprit, refined sugar. I turn into a were-pig with as little as a single Skittle. The worst when I'm sugar-fiending is when I make peanut butter fudge and eat so much I'm depressed for days. Switching to off the shelf low-carb candy and shakes made all the difference. They actually fooled the sugar demon, even when I'm were-pigging. I learned self control readily after discovering what too many artificial sweeteners can do. In two years I lost 50lbs. Today it's 70lbs. I still give into sugar once in a while but most of the time I'm able to avoid it by comparing it to how many beers I won't get to drink! One thing about shedding blubber is when you realize the sensation of being able to exercise painlessly and without feeling like passing out or requiring CPR.
@@brianmead7556 I think it has a lot to do with the chemical complexity of natural food. Nothing has been processed out, so you get a huge variety of chemical compounds. Your body only has so many liver enzymes and metabolic pathways to process it all at a given time. This means the food breaks down more slowly and more steadily over time. It takes the body a lot more time to turn it all into sugars it can use. Processed food is made to be shelf-stable and consistent. Some parts are taken out and some are added, but depending on the food, this may or may not matter a whole lot. We're making it in a way that allows us to make a huge amount of it and keep it for a while. Sacrifices have to be made for this to be possible. We're basically trading a portion of the quality to ensure that our food will be consistently safe to eat and consistently metabolized within the body. People like to pretend this is all about money, and money is in there for sure, but ultimately it's about trying to feed a growing global population. Most sugars in processed food & drink are not strictly bad for you, at least not more than most other kinds of sugar. The body runs on sugars and people need to understand that "sugar" is a rather broad category of organic chemicals. We cannot possibly live without them. The main differences are in how the body makes the sugars usable - what kind of chemistry has to be done to turn it into something good. Fats take a long time and a lot of metabolism to turn into sugars, which makes them the best overall macronutrient or energy source, and this is why animals store fat specifically for survival. Eating lean meat alone will make you starve, but eating fatty meat will ensure that you only ever need to gather a few fruits, tree nuts, or whatever to get the rest of your important nutrients.
Lol
It’s ALL frankenfood. If your great great grandma couldn’t identify it, don’t eat it.

@@Tom-cn4cmlol, a better way to say it is "if the average great-great grandma couldnt make this in a kitchen with Farmer's Market ingredients, maybe this isn't very healthy." 😂

The problem is not food being "ultra processed". Its that everything is full of sugar.
Okay dude typically these ultra processed stuff have stripped of all nutrients and flavors. They then add sugar, salt, and/or fat back in to make it palatable. You cannot separate between the two; they go hand in hand
Salt isn't bad for people and isn't why people are obese. You don't see professional athletes on low salt diet. Drink water and work out and salt is perfectly fine for you in large amounts.
I used to work in food production. Cookies, cereal, beverages etc. Mostly from "healthy" companies based in California. There are a ton of things we added to the food to make it mechanically more suitable to the equipment. For instance, oil, water, salt and various emulsifiers are added to make the slurry of grain and nuts form and maintain shape in a manner similar to Play Doh. Then we can extrude it, bake/fry/airfry it. And package it. Also we constantly used caustic agents and chemicals to clean and rinse the equipment. This cleaning and rinsing is not part of the ingredients list on your granola bar. And it is at a high dilution. But I'm certain that it affects the amount of iodine that you get in your diet. As well as the amount of forever chemicals you are exposed to.
😮😮😮
The cleaning is standard food grade stuff. You boiled out lines with sodium hydroxide solution right? Wanna see some real nasty stuff? Go look at a bean crushing plant where they make peanut oil or soybean oil. That is a nasty process.
Easy to remember: "ultra processed" refers to ingredients you do not usually or never find in your kitchen: most flavours, coloring, stabilizers, modified starch etc.; those ingredients are not only shown to harm you longterm, but - and that may be more problematic short term - make you eat more. Thus people get fat and obese. "Processed" on the other hand isn't a bad thing, it just means you prepare food in some way to make it easier to digest or to give it texture. So it is also called cooking or baking.
thanks i should have read your comment before i commented wondering about this!
reminder that "most flavours, coloring, stabilizers, modified starch" are safe for you unlike your fear mongering bullshit. keep drinking that red 40 koolaid
Those things are not bad for you 🤦🏻♂️
your comment is clearer than the entire long video. his peanut butter example really confuses it. peanut butter can be 3 ingredients and hyper addictive because fat, salt, and sugar will do that to you. the video itself can't seem to explain if the issue is with the specific ingredient or with the intensive research to make us eat more of it -- the 'more-ish' factor they test for. Those are different things.
So is that why if I have meat from hunting, mushrooms from foraging, and vegetables om my backyard garden, I find I’m properly satisfied in full from a shocking little amount of food, but then I go to McDonald’s and I can have six cheeseburgers and three big cokes, and still find I’m hungry?
Simple cure for this; eat fresh fruit, vegetables, and meat only.
I fasted a number of years ago for 9 days and learned after I broke the fast how truly awful any processed food tasted. While in a fasted state I craved colorful foods, fruits, veggies, etc. Our bodies know what is good for us and anything processed literally tasted like chemicals after I detoxed from the fast.
Seems natural that in a system oriented towards profit, certain people will do anything to make profit, up to and including lying, cheating, stealing, getting people addicted to any number of things, and worse.
I mean.... It's the country where a government agency sold hard drugs to their own people for profit. If that was an isolated case, where the perpetrators were chased down and put away for the rest of their lives, while having all their wealth confiscated, sure, I'd have some faith in them again. But it wasn't, there's so many cases of similar things happening at all levels of their government and private businesses. I feel like the things we're seeing in Europe is bad enough, but compared to the rest of the world I feel like it's a paradise, a paradise that we have to continue fighting for and expecting better of.

Does anyone remember Lawrence Lessig talking about how the USDA's recommended diet is so distorted because of influence from the food industry (esp. sugar)? "You can have a couple slices of pizza, all the M&Ms you want, and a glass of milk, and that's a 'healthy, balanced diet' according to our government," or something like that. See also Robert Evans' FDA podcasts. Also also, everyone should learn how to cook from scratch. Once you have the basics down and you can make a big batch of something, you can usually freeze that and eat it over the course of the week, and whaddaya know, the homemade version is probably going to be a lot healthier than the one made in a factory.
I love Lawrence Lessig. He is definitely someone we should be hearing a lot more from. Healthy food (TRULY healthy, as in natural, fresh whole food) is essential for our health and is our way out of the chronic disease epidemic in this country. We have the industrialized world's most unhealthy population in spite of being the wealthiest nation and having the most expensive health care.

I wouldn't classify a real pizza made by real italian guys as bad, Now a pizza from any of the chains like dominos or pizza hut, or what you buy in a grocery store, is kind of disgusting
You don't even have to do anything too difficult. Get some rice and beans, which are cheap and last forever, and are very easy to cook. And get some basic spices, and you have a meal that is easy to prepare, tastes good, and is quite nutritious.

A lot of educated people know this. Our epidemic of obesity is directly related to our food. High fructose corn syrup is really really bad for us. Witness the skyrocketing obesity in Mexico after NAFTA strong armed them into importing this stuff, to benefit the American corn farmers.
Corn syrup is just touching the surface. Food dyes that are neurotoxins, heavy metal and mold contamination, pesticide and herbicide contamination, industrially processed oils
Mexicans are heavy beer drinkers which doesn't help matters.
@@David-vk5sv I could not agree more. And I grew up eating this toxic stuff. And a house painted with lead paint, inside and out.
I didn't know NAFTA actually benefitted anyone in the US. Seems like it only permanently crippled the US economy. I am often ignorant and naive. Of course there had to have been corporate interests behind pushing politicians into such a foolish repeal of long standing laws protecting US citizens from "free trade". It's off topic, but what else do you know about what other corporate entities benefitted, and how did they reward their puppets for betraying the country? If you have time that is.
I read that glysophate, the herbicide chemical in Roundup, has been found in every body of water on earth, in trace amounts. From pole to pole, its found in high levels accumulating in the ice. It's part of the weather. That it's causing illnesses such as fibromyalgia, leaky gut syndrome, and other fairly new diagnoses. It works by rapidly causing individual plant cells to rupture, killing the plant quickly. But it causes animal cells to rupture too. Less effectively. So no quick death. Just a bunch of damaged cells. Illness. Some people talk about an upcoming extinction event. I've never read anything more than the article title. But I believe if there is one, it has been already set in motion by the massive global use of Roundup. It disrupts the natural food chain by inadvertently killing off many of the insect populations. The insects feed on the plants sprayed with Roundup. Some die right away, some take longer, ingesting more chemical. The birds, fish, frogs, etc. feed on the insects, accumulating all of the chemicals each insect has eaten. So they get hit with a high dosage of Roundup, and die. It accumulates and concentrates. Other populations further up the food chain may die simply from starvation, cuz their main food source is scarce. Like they too will be soon. I have lived in rural southwest Minnesota most of my life. It's all farm land. Crops. I first noticed it in the pheasant population. Their numbers would go down not very long after Roundup was applied to the crops. Then, a few years later, it occurred to me that I no longer had to stop at every gas station to clean bug guts off my windshield at night. In fact, maybe 2 moths at the most, per night. I am not exaggerating. A couple years later I noticed the seasonal flocks of birds that would pass through my grove in the spring were getting really sparse. The blackbirds used to make my 13 acres of trees look like they had black leaves on all of them. The noise was nearly intolerable at times, until something would scare the entire flock on to the next grove. Blackbirds, sparrows, robins, once the most common birds around here, have diminished in numbers down to a dozen or so, each, showing up. Something else too. Fish that used to be so plentiful, you could easily catch your limit, are just mostly gone. Leopard frogs and salamanders used to be everywhere. Lucky to find one at all now, and the ones they do find are deformed. Snakes are scarce too, but I'm kinda ok with that. It's gonna continue. There is no way they will stop the best, fastest acting, selectable herbicide the world has ever seen. Except for Agent Orange. Also, certain species of insects have co evolved with and are dependent upon very specific plants. Plants that are considered weeds. Monarch butterflies and milk weed plants. The weed plants are being fairly decimated. Many of those plants have medicinal and nutritional value to humans. Wheat farmers are using Roundup to control the timing of the harvest of crops. Like a desiccant, it dries the plants out, and the wheat seeds, to guarantee a mold free crop every time. On schedule. Everything you eat that is made from wheat, like all flour and breads... You are getting dosed with Roundup every piece of bread you eat. Pastries. Pastas. Etc. I don't remember any specific source material for review to back my shit up. Just observation over the years.
The idea is most people know our food is slowly killing us, but there's really nothing we can do about it at this point.
The lobbyists need to be kicked out, and stop funding/bribing politicians 😑
Okay, I want to shake my head vigorously because I agree with basically everything in this video. I hate how Big Food is using these tactics to hook people on toxic shit. I hate how they corrupt systems that are supposed to look out for our health. I hate how I can never figure out if I should be eating oatmeal or yogurt for breakfast, only to find out that it all depends on which brand because they might be overloaded with sugar. But I can't and it's because of what this video doesn't talk about. I wholeheartedly agree that people have a right to clear, unbiased information about how to make healthy life choices. But I'll be blunt and say that presenting that as a solution is bullshit and this video (from a channel I normally like) fails by presenting it as one. The fact is most people know what healthy choices are - at least in the abstract. I say this from years teaching adult education programs in a food desert in the Bronx. They know they're supposed to eat fruits and vegetables, avoid fast food, cook meals at home with local, fresh ingredients instead of mass-produced crap. And all of that takes time and money that poor people don't have. They have to work multiple jobs with overtime to support their kids, so it's frozen dinners or canned slop. They're on EBT, which despite some efforts to incentivize healthy eating, can't get them expensive high quality foods needed to feed a household. If we're talking about Big Food, can we please talk about how KFC and McDonald's intentionally market massively over-portioned food that's abysmal for a diet but a bargain if you're trying to put food on the table for a large family? As the video says - they know what they're doing. So yeah, I want people to have more information to make better choices. But please stop putting it that way because it all comes back to the same messed up logic that it falls on people to make choices, not on companies to stop flooding our foodways full of high fructose corn syrup, added sugars, trans fats, addictive chemicals, and ultraprocessed crap. These need to be eliminated, through intense government regulation or direct action by phasing them out of the community via replacement with local, affordable farms and markets on a degrowth model. Pair these community kitchens that can teach people cooking basics or provide free healthy meals for those without the time to cook (see the Black Panthers as a model to work from). Americans' health crisis was created by capitalists, enabled by bureaucrats, and cannot be solved by technocrats. This is all well-intentioned, but to truly make "good and healthy decisions" the people must be empowered first. (edited for typos)
So much yes to all you just said.
Goddamnit yes this. Entirely this! Holy tap dancing jesus on a rice cracker THIS.
Thank you. I support more education for parents. No matter how poor you are why give juice instead of water to your toddler unless you don't know. But I agree with you that the onus is put on the individual when society is configured to make it as hard as possible.
Yes yes yes!!!!!!!! 🖤💜💙💚💙💜🖤 You get it!!!!! May we live to see the day things make sense in the world! 🖤💜💙💚💙💜🖤 Much Love
I love a good critique. This presents the basis of the consensus that upper class allies need to come to. Thank you for speaking up!
I went to one of the best culinary schools on earth, and at that school there was a series of courses called industrial cooking technology, where students were taught how to engineer food to be cheaper or to last longer. After I graduated I went in to work as a corporate chef trainer and was lucky enough to attend a post grad corporate program in Hong Kong where the enrollment began with signing a non disclosure agreement . Not allowed to talk about what they taught there I went on to become a private chef and dietician for several very very rich people. Now I make almost everything I eat from scratch here at home bread cookies pasta crackers jam etc from ingredients that I buy locally or grow myself. All I can tell you guys is stay out of the center isles in the grocery store. Good luck .
Do you at least have some KZhead recommendations 😂😂 I’m struggling on changing my diet
What foods from scratch do you recommend for balancingbhormones
While I don't have nearly your background or qualifications, I came to the same conclusion a few years ago. Home made from basic ingredients I shop myself. I have to admit, though, the shortcuts like pasta sauce in a jar are still a huge temptation.
That's all people need to know, stay away from the center aisles. But I only get my olive oil, pasta and rice, beans and pickles and raw nuts from an aisle.
you saw what they were doing and still paid them for their 'school'. arent you so righteous. geez
The greed/need for fame, fortune & superiority is what rules over humanity, integrity, morals and conscience!
When you fear integrity and accountability, you are NOT the good guys!
My son got his first critical thinking lesson when he was about two. He'd seen a television ad for a breakfast cereal, and said he wanted to try it. I said I wasn't going to buy it because it wasn't healthy. "But the man said it was good!" If I gave you a million pounds, wouldn't you say anything was good? "Oh yes. OK." I've always cooked from scratch, for my husband (died), and son (moved out), and now just me. A friend said there's an enormous choice of ready meals, from all over the world, and no point cooking for one. I'm still cooking from scratch.
💯 💯
Million pounds is pretty heavy
@@mpnothanks It was meant to be! 😃
Sorry about your husband.
Do you want a cookie?
I stopped worrying about salt. Sodium's link with hypertension and heart disease has been exaggerated and it does apply to a portion of the population, but the real culprit is when it's consumed in those ultra processed foods that also contain tons of sugar and saturated fat and all the other bad things we DEFINITELY know have a much stronger correlation with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. I liberally apply salt to my food prepared at home. My blood pressure has stayed 115/75 for the last few years.
I agree. I like salt. But I have bp on the lower side. I also cook all of my food and make desserts swapping out sugar.
Saturated fat is good for you.
@@sillymesilly so is cholesterol. Everyone should check out Matt Budoff’s vascular disease study from Dec 8 2023.
It's also an issue refined salt. Sea salt or mined, unrefined salt contains many other minerals that we need and which tend to balance the effect of sodium.
Some people have a stronger response to salt than others. You may be right that you don't need to limit your salt, but that may be more necessary for other people.
Buckwheat naturally grows w/out pesticides, no gluten. My fav base flour w/others for flatbreads.
Unfortunately in America we allow so many chemicals and additives in our foods that are banned in other countries because they can cause cancer and a host of other health problems which are all approved by the FDA and I know for a fact that Europe does not allow for certain foods from America to be imported. And by the way, have you ever seen a commercials on tv where people are not laughing and acting very happy, including advertising for meds? The answer is NO!
When our culture so heavily values things like optimization, idealistic presentation, efficiency, and convenience, it isn't surprising we ended up in a situation like this.
We have two generations raised on chicken nuggets, soda and fries and we’re surprised there is an obesity epidemic? We eliminated Home Economics and Shop early 80’s and this is a result. Many people don’t know how to cook from scratch and working parents don’t have time. We need to bring back these classes along with Civics. When you eliminated Civics through K-12, our current political debacle is the result. Maybe we can get Schoolhouse Rock back.
FACTS. As for our political debates, yes, I do believe there has been a deliberate assault on critical thinking skills in order to dumb down our electorate. I am a boomer who mourns for the younger generations.
I went to high school in the late ‘90s and there was still home economics and shop. Nowadays, there are culinary arts classes instead of home economics. In other words, it is solely focused on cooking.
I went to school in the mid 2000s, graduated in 2015, and we still had a home ec class in middle school where we learned how to cook... also took a woodworking and autoshop class, but those weren't mandatory. Most of these classes were still offered, they just weren't mandatory, so many students didn't bother taking them. Idk if most people don't know how to cook, or if they are just too lazy. Especially if they don't understand how bad processed foods are, why bother taking the time to cook?
when buying mcdonalds is cheaper than a full meal, not to mention more conveninent and time efficient, then yeah that's the result However, when you can't even trust the cereal you're having for breakfast, and even the food that is "from scratch" is compromised, you can't win, the whole food industry is compromised, we eat literal garbage and are addicted to it And home eco and workshops are cut due to funding issues, schools are bs and don't care about teaching kids anything, just looking good in front of the board and getting good grades, whatever that means
What's worse is that everyone blames the victims. Which can make these addictions worse.
FEAR FEAR FEAR! The oldest lady who ever lived smoked until she was 107. Died at 120.
The biggest lie would be the FDA keeps our food and medications safe.
I lived in Italy as a young child. As soon as we moved to the U.S. I was having allergic reactions to whatever was in the foods (I went to immunology to check EVERYTHING) and had so much gut inflammation I became malnourished for years on end. I finally came off my immunosuppressants and stopped eating food that isn't imported or explicitly organic (minus a bunch of ingredients) and I'm fine... I'm FINE now. Greed sucks.
After cutting a lot out, all the food I used to eat tastes like crap. Most sugary things are akin to gasoline in my mouth, and the smell of anything bad for me gives me total body pain
I eaten a so call healthy food bowl and felt like I was having a stroke but it had fake food in it😮😮😮😮😮.
More specifically, blame our capitalist system that gives the billionaires who own Big Food-and literally every other industry in our country, not to mention our entire political process-so much power over everything from what kind of information we get about the food we're putting in our bodies, to how much we're paid & how much actual honest-to-god quality food we're able to afford
Throw in corporate Lobbying, and corporate regulatory capture and you have America.

There are libraries and the internet and nutrionists. What information don't you have access to?
Big companies have always run information. The only difference between when state and corporate are merged (socialism) and separate (capitalism) is that in socialism you have less power to go up the corporate ladder but a generally more survivable low, so you can't move up or down but provided it's not a one man government dictatorship you can at least know you won't starve to death or go homeless with a McDonald's job. However, you also won't ever be able to move past McDonald's. A good way to tell how it's not capitalism but power is Russia and China who are socialist. They get away with faking democracy while killing their political opposition, controlling every possible angle of information including their opposition, and the law. With capitalism the advantage is the big corporations don't have a monopoly as for every Disney there's a blaze, for every Pepsi there's a coke. For every Walmart there's a Target. For every Amazon there's a Newegg, Ebay, Jawa etc. The exact same problems exist in non capitalist nations too. But instead of two competing organizations fighting over which misinformation prevails to poison your mind or body over the other. You have no competition, one source of misinformation. So no, capitalism is not the cause. Nor the solution. It merely provides the most shitty options allowing the consumer to make up their mind on which hazardous chemicals they decide to orally inject into their bodies to temporarily provide a small short dopamine boost and less grouchy stomach.
Healthy food is essential for our health and is our way out of the chronic disease epidemic in this country. We have the industrialized world's most unhealthy population in spite of being the wealthiest nation and having the most expensive health care. This issue is huge and it is just one of the reason I am voting for RFK Jr and his running mate Nicole Shanahan who are both committed to cleaning up our food supply and our soil to address the chronic disease epidemic that plagues 60% of our population. That number was 6% in the 1960's when JFK was president. They are the ONLY candidates sounding the alarm about this and having a plan to course correct. I hope everyone will look at their platform and give them your vote if you care about the health of your family, your friends and yourself.
