a not actually being involved in military actions against russia. what's kinda too late. it's not like germany hasn't blown all the junk out of its weapons closets and ship it all over to ukraine is hand me downs, exchange for cash from brussels to me. shiny new hardware for itself even tried getting its friends to go through their closets for ukraine. unfortunately, are in stokes of patriot systems on now quite exhausted. we need an overview of all patriot systems in europe and worldwide to see where we can quite can't deliver something to ukraine. kia is constantly brow beaten berlin from the very outset of the conflict to get more involved back in may. 2022. you crazy bass or a jeremy called schultz, a quote, sulky river sausage, for not doing a pilgrimage to keep like is western counter parts of done. seems like the western countries costs playing. ukraine are literally pretending that they are ukraine. nbc has an even better deal now that the free tax payer has to replace junk weapons

. free crane is drying up journeys. focus on using ukraine to shore up. it's military spending at home comes only after bowling bank on things like you mandatory and spending for keep putting it on the number one country on the list of well, 41 other suckers with nearly 3000000000 out the door to ukraine just for that alone . but hey, with jeremy, have a street over its own industry by shrinking off the north steam attack on its cheap rushing gas supply, leading to an over dependence on price. here americans liquefied natural gas shipments. the buddhist bank is now saying that the country's economic recovery is stalling and probably will get worse even before this disco forwarder ends. so it looks like germany is pretty, it's chips on weapons manufacturing now, which doesn't sound banana republic, he at all. but apparently now that germany has decided to focus on itself shows as having a hard time bobbing off stage 5 player zalinski who can't stop obsessing over sources

missiles to the gentleman and then $0.03 to kids could be re stokes, by using military modernization phones, despite the initiative being unpopular with the government's opposition members get into mind is one member of the berlin house of deputies who says that sending weapons to ukraine hinders the growth of germany's own military needs. the problem uh is that the drum and government gave too much equipment, especially costs and technically equipment and to claim of this equipment was used in the german army in the us. well, the problem is, the zip one is where the german, i mean, since a lot of times it's not developing very well. a lot of german, the government's the sites to money and develops the, i mean, in time. and now they send

a little bit of agreement outside. so this equipment is missing in germany, the money which is needed to do relatives of german. i'm just in time of what has been used to support the government of uh okay, and i don't know why a german government does a dealing like this where you say it's not the good to probably take for germany to send all the military equipment to clean and warranties, toys of german, i'm making this made money. thanks for joining us, this thursday, coming your way next, christie. i with the latest episode of the cost of that, for thing. taking a closer look at the cost of foss, food off is that with more needs in 30 minutes. see then the, the

the, the burger and fries might look harmless. if you are a basic need, brad, let us tomatoes and maybe some potatoes. some might even consider this to be a perfectly balanced meal, but is it really? i'm christy, and you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to be dissecting the issues that impact our plates and ultimately our lives. we're going to be delving into the world of fast food and explore all of the hitting costs. these preservative and additives have on our society's health. the fast food has become synonymous with convenience. but at what cost? fast food with its high levels of saturated fat sugar is an empty calories has

played a significant role in the obesity epidemic that we see today. and as we know, obesity is linked to a myriad of health issues from heart disease to diabetes. because fast food produces millions of pounds of food every day, it is meant to be affordable and consumed quickly. most fast food meals are prepared from frozen canned or dehydrated products and are simply re heated before serving. these fluids are high and calories below on nutrition, which means that they'll leave you feeling hungry and cause you to binge it. aside from the usual culprits of salt and sugar is in fast food. there are many hidden chemical ingredients views and preparing the meal. chemicals are added to most fast food products to make them last longer and taste better. but these chemicals compromise, the nutritional quality of the food. common chemicals include pro faleen glycol, which is an additive that stabilize moisture to prevent ingredients from sticking

together or drying out. it is toxic and high doses. the sodium nitrate is a preservative to keep neat products like baking ham or beef pressure for longer. well, enhancing their color. and this has been linked to certain types of cancer. synthetic food dies, which are used to make fluids look more appealing, can also cause allergic reaction and has been linked to different types of cancer. and now we have filler products such as cellulose and potassium bro made. they are added to sticking products like meat and bread, and this can interfere with the bodies, natural nutrient absorption systems, satellites, which are found in gloves, boxes and plastic wrap to use to prepare food are also commonly found in fast food . this class of chemicals is linked to infertility, pregnancy, complications, diabetes, and again, cancer fast food chains also rely on large scale factory fires which read genetically modified chickens, pigs and cows that are fed antibiotics to make them grow faster. and in the end,

the antibiotics end up in your body when you eat their meat. processing fluids often involve stripping fluids of their natural neutrons, leaving us with meals packed with additives, preservice and excess salt. these added as might enhance taste and shelf life. but they come at a price to our health preservative small extending shelf life, can wreck havoc on our bodies. some studies suggest a correlation between preservatives and process foods and an increased and risk of cancer. these additives disrupt our bodies, natural balance, and overtime may contribute to the development of various health issues. and now today we're joined by author, mary nestle, professor, nutrition food studies and public health at new york university. so marian, can you a library on the nutritional pitfalls associated with a died heavily reliant on fast food and process meals? things like eating mcdonalds, burke or even a subway sandwich every day. a fast food and one are now called the older process

through june of prison. it's just a just you make them into a daily diet of the normal thing the you're eating, they have a lot of calories and people tend do too much of them. so those kinds of diets are associated with gaining weight and gaining wages associated with heart disease and certain kinds of cancers and type 2 diabetes and all of those problems. and what has happened is that the american diet has become increasingly processed and increasingly based on fast foods. and so i have them, i've been around for a long time, so i have no historical memory about this, where my kids were young. i took them to mcdonald's on their birthdays. it was a really big deal and they had wonderful birthday celebrations. they still do actually, but we didn't need it. mcdonald street the rest of the year. you know,

i could do the home. and so it's the difference between mcdonald's once a year in mcdonalds, every day is a large number of calories. and, and that's really what the problem is. but even fast food back then has to different fast food scene healthy. you're in less process then nowadays. is that true or is that just a distant misspelled? direct memory moyer. we don't think so. i mean they were processed from the beginning. what's happened is the portion sizes have gotten larger and i had a doctoral student, we see young who did that research and demonstrated that there was a very large increase in the size of fest portions between 19801992000. and those larger portions of stock, larger portions have moved calories. and how have you seen the health landscape change with the increased consumption of fast fitted? the most obvious one is that 70 percent of american dumpster now overweight ro

these? so that's obviously these become the one, it's the o, it's the average, the average person is overweight or obese and that's becoming increasingly true. children of that would be a problem. this obesity didn't carry risks with this. and it raises the problem. the problem, the more overlay you are, the grey your, your risk for developing chronic diseases. so it's a, it's a probably ability estimate. it doesn't affect everybody, but it certainly raises risks. and if i were going to say what the main problem with the american diet is that people are reading too much, you said that obesity has become the norm. and i think you might be right. visually you get used to seeing people who are just bigger and better. yeah, we're used to people the heavier so anybody's not looks ok. that's what i mean by

normalization of obesity. and it carries hill risks. so through the everybody who is overweight has problems, but it raises the probabilities. and can you speak to the specific health challenges such as cardiovascular issues and diabetes that are often linked to diets rich and fast food? well, the 1st one is the 1st one is type 2 diabetes always because that's very, very closely associated with all the way and then type 2 diabetes and overlay are risk factors for heart disease. certain kinds of cancer, bad outcome from coven 19 and overall mortality. and are there noticeable trends and the types of health problems emerging due to the prevalence of process foods in our diet? for the big one is tied to diabetes. you know, the heart disease has a heart disease as many other causes and weights of heart disease are down and

rates of many kinds of cancer. but as the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing and how can individuals make healthier choices when navigating in landscape that's dominated by fast food options? well, i would say the 1st thing to understand is how they're being marketed to. and recognizing the extent of marketing and how difficult it is as an individual to fight an entire food system on your own. it's really hard to know if there's fast food everywhere. if that's the only food that's available is it's the cheapest. um, if you really love the way it tastes and it's designed to be something that you loved and that's what it's supposed to be about. and recognize that these foods are widely available, they're cheaper and there is typically delicious reason. it's all about marketing

because food companies are not social service agencies and they're not public health agencies, their businesses, their job is so more food, not less. if you deep less, you're finding an entire food system is a fast food industry, taking steps to offer healthier options. and how can the industry balance profit motives with the commitment of public health? well, they can't really, unless customers demand health care of options and their customers are not making those kinds of domains. you know, why is it under pressure? and they may try to remove some of the salt or some of the sugar or, you know, make smaller portions. but basically they're going to do what sales. so it's, it's a combination of the people. this is what people are asking for. it's, i think, asking, go, want to for them to do something in there that's against their financial interest and their stockholders won't less. i mean, it sounds like you're asking the consumer to have accountability. oh,

that wouldn't be nice. i would be asking the food is just kind of accountability of, you know, i got involved in this because i was going to lots of meetings on trial through the cities. and everybody at those meetings would say, how are we going to teach moms to feed their kids more healthfully? nobody was saying, how are we going to keep from companies for marketing junk food? so our kids in every possible way so that our kids know what junk food is, even if we don't have it in. thank you so much, professor nestle, but please stick around. professor mary, nestle will stay with us right here after the break. and when we come back, we'll explore a crucial question. do consumers prioritize cheaper fast foods over price here, healthier options when it comes to the diets stated for more the

the in the us to update allows new food ingredients like g hmo's, growth hormone and chemical preserved is unless it is proven to be harmful. in

contrast to european e, f, s a requires editors to be proven safe before approval and has banned the use of growth hormones and several chemical additives. these differing philosophies lead to certain additives they allowed in the us, but banned in europe. and this includes the use of growth hormones, rac though for me, which increases lean muscle in livestock, potassium roommate, color ages b, h a and b h t preservatives, a less stuff that substitute an more an event almost fast foods between the us and europe. it is not created equal. a startling difference was found when comparing a single slice of domino's pizza in the us with a slice of domino's pizza in the u. k. now domino's is a fast food pizza chain, so you really don't expect it to be healthy or very high quality. but a slice of pizza in the us contains more than twice the additive as the british version, and nearly double the calories. while the cheese on the u. k,

slide has just a handful of and greens, things you would expect, like martha rella, milk, salt and starter culture. the us side has a whole long list of ingredients to include fillers, thickener is artificial, flavorings, and sodium. propane 8, the pizza del, like most american braz, also contain potassium, bro, me, which is a band ingredient in europe, china and india, due to concerns that it may be a carcinogen. potassium bro, made is used regularly in the us to strengthen dough and is present in more than 100 products. but most americans are likely unaware that there be exposed to substances in their food that europe considers to be dangerous. many common foods that we see in the groceries, our band and other countries. things like ritz crackers, date or a week. bins, frosted flakes, skittles pop tarts. and those familiar with little demi's pastry products. these foods all contain dies like yellow, 5 yellow, 6 and red. 40,

which has been indicated they could be harmful to health, especially in young children. so why does the us still allow these ingredients when it has been shown to cause har? well, because the food industry has a very powerful trade groups and lobbyists, they claim that the vibrant colors are important to their industry for them to create snacks, juices, yogurt, and desserts. and as a capitalist country, many decisions are made with profit in mind. not necessarily people a and a landmark decision last year, california became the 1st state to follow in the footsteps the you and found the usage, a red di 3, as well as several other chemical additives and food and beverage products. this guy is present in hundreds of candies and snacks, like ding dongs peeps and even pedia. sure. hopefully this will pressure the up the a to make a final ruling in regards to some of these additive. so for this and more, let's bring in again, author marian, nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies,

and public health that new york new university. marian, can you discuss the variation and food regulations between countries, particularly regarding preservatives, an additive? well, the countries in europe have more strict regulations and we do of our approach in the united states is to allow additives until they cause trouble. and then we take them off the markets in europe. they, if they can't prove safety, they're not on the market to begin with. so we have a much more or less a fair attitude towards the editor. it was how much of a problem that is, i have no idea. now in countries with more regulated food industries, do you observe a greater awareness and understanding of the health implications of food choices? well, certainly among regularly, that's why they're doing. and what factors within the food industry contribute to the widespread use of additive and preservatives? they sell, remember the sweet industry is about selling products. you can't get people to the

gray. can. people like eating candy? that's very bright colors. so the flu, she puts in very bright colors. yes. but for example, beaches can also color or can you read or another vegetable can be used to turn. it can be yellow. not as well as the bad because, you know, you get a much more stable color if you're dealing with one of those organic compounds. that's associated with cancerous. and so the, and also the cheaper. so the food companies want to keep the cost of food as low as possible because that's how they sell it. and they're interested in selling as much food as possible and they're not going to do anything that's against their self interest. so to what extent does consumer demand for convenience and longer shelf live, try the inclusion of advertising preservatives and food products? well, i don't think the consumers are fighting for longer shelf life as

a consumer is certainly fighting for convenience because people were long hours and, and that's difficult. but, you know, the food industry is making products that people will want to buy. so there's an interaction there, but people buy foods because they're advertise too because they're marketing because they're available because they're cheaper and because their life so the food industry isn't going to do anything that's going to change that particular formulation because they're in the business of selling more food, not less. and that was never a problem into obesity became problem when everybody ought to be easy. everybody ought to be eating less. but the food industry makes it very difficult either ongoing efforts within the industry to explore alternative methods of preserving food without rely on traditional additives. i have no idea, i'm sure there are. i mean food is always been preserved. and if your company make

a, uh you know, a junk food, you want it to be a shell stable as possible, is here to throw everything in it that will do that. and most preservatives are fine. you know, i mean i, i just don't see, i don't see additives as being the biggest problem in the food supply. i see cowards. this being the largest problem. actually i went to the supermarket the other day and i saw that a bag of bread crumbs had silicone additive. so what do you think about a simple piece of bread having additives like that? you probably do. it probably did. it will keep the bread crumbs from the company. so it's pretty vanessa ok. now i'm not aware that silicone is a big problem in the food supply. but if you want bread crumbs all you do is toast bread and make bread crumbs very easy. do they? they are being probably more pragmatic because you know,

you can't control the food industry. yeah, i mean if you don't like those fluids, don't you don't. you don't want silicone. your bread crumbs don't. that's your choice. you're somebody who reads fluids, labels in your reading list. don't buy that stuff. that's a really easy way to deal with this, but you're fighting entire food system on your that's a big jump. but are there differences in the use of additive between local artisan, all products and large scale mass produced items? um, local or digital products don't have access to those entities. you know, they're industrial additive. they're not going to be using nobody who's making ortiz at ok and is going to put big, you know, big organic dies. they're just not going to because they're advertising, the candy is be healthier and you know, and better may. so,

i mean, once again, that's your choice about what you're going to be bar. and in terms of having a choice, our terminal candies, for example, and breads and organic food in general are also a lot more expensive move course. there are that's policy. that's because federal policy rewards the very, very law and rewards big food, big agriculture, big every big soda, big every big, fast food, big everything. that's where that because of the way the political system is set up . those are the industries that have the political power and the money. and so the government does policies that benefit them. the government doesn't do policies that benefit small producers. do you think that americans are mostly slaves to the whole system? oh, absolutely, sure. the government and sold the corporations without question because of the way

our electoral system works. and the ability of ralphie corporations to give as much money as they want to candidates for office until the electronic system changes. i don't see how we change that, but that's the 1st thing to work on. let's elect people to congress for interested in public health concept. we barely hear that sort of conversation that doesn't even come up on political debates at any level. i don't know when students ask me what they can do, that's the 1st thing i tell them, run for office. when we travel, change your up or anywhere. i feel good after eating versus people in the states are noticeably known to have digestive issues. why is that? have absolutely no idea, but sounds to me like you need to change or define yourself by more organic food and cooking and eating at home? no i, i do books and i certainly are in favor of organics because of the production values

they use fewer pesticides, i think and better methods for growing for me. and i think that's a good thing. and you know, i'm very fortunate i can afford it. overall, do you think things are getting better or worse and the food industry? oh, i think it's very easy for people with money to leave this country. i don't know why you're having any problems. helping with education money, can you just fine? that's not a problem. it's the people who don't have any money that you worry about because that of junctions are so much cheaper and then healthier food. so we want people to pick real foods and cook them if they can. and that's become a privilege in our society. do you think people are becoming more educated and their food purchases? yeah, depends on who you're talking about. some people are, some people aren't. and do you think things are going to get better when it comes

to purchasing food? well, they are getting better, at least for certain, at least for people who could take advantage of their getting better food in supermarkets. he was much better now than it was 30 years ago. really, anybody with education in money? 10 is helpfully anywhere in america. because foods are widely available and the, you know, it's the people who aren't, you know, who don't know the difference and who don't have the money to do that. you worry about lisa, i thank you so much, professor nestle for all your time today. so does a all these preservatives and artificial chemicals take a toll on the body? absolutely. the u. s. leads in obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes compared with europe. and while there are differences and lifestyle and stress, food is a major part of this. a much larger fraction of the everyday food sold in european

grocery stores is lacking in preservatives, artificial flavors and artificial colors. in europe, the food has to be gotten from farm to consumer very quickly. so the supply chain has to be very efficient. there's a lot more slack in the us because much of the food can be stashed away in warehouses, 4 months before it reaches the shelves. this scale food, while it can taste and look appealing, is actually lacking in nutrients. so while it might cost more to eat fresh prepared foods compared to fast foods, the cost to your health and your life might very well be worth it. and i'm christy . i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything the the,

what is part of the, the employee would posted isn't the deep su of us and building the word. or is it something deeper, more complex might be present? let's stop without collision. let's go products. acceptance and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do, do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. several opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do they have the state department, the c i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you comfortable. my show is called direction. but again,

you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way you the headlines to the past 24 hours. these are the $63.00 palestinians killed in id for tax on garza 3 songs that are plumber to come on. lead as far as quan show was an hour among the victim . witnesses including some additional hyundai is all the relatives comments on the attack. the ability parts went everywhere. there are even some remains on top of our house. we fall into a hand and a lag. everywhere you look around 40 pods, their bodies are in peace and stuff with the idea of targets of the car and 5 see me cycles from one more to nature has been raging here in the russian store and book region for almost a week. more than 10000 residential buildings were affected by the flock. we were.
