the obesity epidemic is the most important international health problem. let me throw the. holy peaceful inital meeting. justin the fact that it. and made tragedy. earlier my life. i thought that my way it was all my fault. i felt like a failure. and frankly unworthy. and it took me a while to really start questioning believes and challenging those thoughts like well are you really a failure and the answer is no i'm not i'm not but it took awhile to get to that

point. obesity a blob of our era's fantasies caught in a web of prejudice it prompts scolding for poor choices and accusations of laziness an impotent genes provide an alibi. for what if obesity were a collective failure not an individual one the symptom of a free market that hates fat that produces fatsos and obesity genic society. it's a global phenomenon not one country has halted it. right now. people adults and children who are overweight or obese.

this doesn't happen by magic it takes a book and we're going to look at her and his that is driving the process well otherwise we'll live in societies in which you know one out of every 3 people has diabetes where everybody is obese where people are dying of stroke and heart attack at age 40 i mean that the choice is an obvious one if we don't do something we will collapse as societies not just in america but in mexico and russia and china and europe it's happening everywhere. almost everywhere in the world men and women are battling this fate political leaders physicians regular citizens they brave the multinationals. we truly believe that the industry is wrong and that their poisoning and targeting people and people need to know about it. the. wielding the weapons of law science and public policy they want to help us regain control of our bodies.

in the 1st years of the 21st century western countries declared war on obesity to no avail. experts estimate that by 2030 there will be 250000000 obese children in the world. if our government is taken the right track. at least 2 sides of men and women in the u.k. are overweight. on the right still. the pace of life changing impact on the polls and slowly lower your. color to

flight. according to the message is spread far and wide we alone are to blame for our weight fat people are simply gluttons unable to control their appetites. you have a choice to make the change. we are told it's up to us but is it really. for me the most difficult stigma to cope is this idea that the people of no will power the people in larger bodies people don't have a well power earle's they wouldn't carry excess weight because we're told so often that that's all it takes to lose weight go to the gym follow this diet program you know if you just stick to it you'll get there.

for sure that a little personal willpower was all it would take to slay obesity eat less exercise more became the mantra of the 2 thousands it would go around the world. so let's start moving let's start pushing twisting climbing and raising the roof let's start moving more every day for 30 minutes or 60 and if you feel like stopping you can always start back up let's start moving to it's so easy for us to look at a person and say they have such willpower they're so moral and strong and then look at someone with a weight problem and attribute all of these negative traits oh they're just weak they don't have willpower it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that will never change this obesity epidemic hey everybody you know getting active every day helps this all be healthy and feel

great. the same old ernest advice about exercise is profit with the best intentions in 2010 michelle obama launched a campaign against childhood obesity that you 1st made her sassy sashing to movie. body aiming to set healthier standards for food served in school lunch when. we send our kids to school we have a right to expect that they won't be eating the kind of fare the solti sugary food that we're trying to keep them when they're at home unfortunately you know michelle obama was on the right track right from the beginning and i think she got the railed by mixture of bad advice and by bringing in the food the food companies and they were able to dilute very powerful message down to something where you know it's just her own take television encouraging people to move that way rather than let's move together. you know as

a movement to be able to transform the food system. became more. be on c easily upstaged the public service message to. build. a boon to the multinationals who quickly joined the dance in 2015 coca-cola created the global energy balance network a worldwide think tank dedicated to solving the obesity problem. by promoting exercise. most of the folks in the popular media and in the scientific press is over eating too much eating too much eating too much blaming fast food blaming sugary drinks and so on and there's really virtually no compelling evidence that in fact there's a cause professor steve blair is one of the head researchers recruited for the network he's

a specialist in physical exercise but maybe the reason they're eating more calories than they need is because they're not burning man so we need to be in vallance. into the new yorker because any. some time when i kissed. you. yes just to put you in the fall. just gonna be ok here's how that translates into marketing. just beyond. the industry has been focused on the story of calories in calories out you can drink what you want just go go on a jog and work off your calories well we know that actually is not true that's not the true story. that should lead to avoid waking he would simply have to burn the

same number of calories as we eat the theory sounds logical unfortunately it isn't true physical exercise actually plays a minor role in weight control you have to jog for one hour to eliminate a hamburger a pizza though requires 2 for 2 hours of running. if you look at it from a calorie perspective that is fine accumulation equals sort of calories in minus calories out and say well that's always true because if you look at from a physics perspective that is always true but the problem is that that's physics and we're dealing with human physiology it really has nothing to do with each other . i think we should take the focus off of calories yes you can eat less and lose weight for a short while but your body will fight back over the long term we know that metabolism is stronger than willpower. all right

if individual willpower is not to blame what caused the steep rise in the obesity curve starting in the 1980 s. . so what's the difference between 197-2019 well i don't think it's the basic biology of the person but it's something to do with the way that we both that the. types of food and the frequency of the foods that we eat. in 40 years are eating habits of undergone a real revolution fomented by public health policies of the late 1970 s. at the time cardiovascular disease was the grim reaper causing millions of deaths. the senate special committee on nutrition is looking into the connection between diet and hot disease. the sugar lobby succeeded in having a high fat diet declared guilty a false verdict that had serious consequences that health officials recommended

that we reduce our intake the fats grains touted as cholesterol free replaced meat as a staple food. and so eating more brad more rice market tadros for example because they're very low fat and you know eating less dairy less meat low fat dairy back nothing that was the standard advice for so many years and i think that is the most likely culprit as to why people have gained weight the u.s. government called on the food industry to market thousands of processed foods that were reduced in fat and saturated fat so if you're the food industry and you're supposed to reduce fat what are you going to replace it with well processed grains and sugar. industry sleight of hand made the transition painless sugar a cheap replacement for fat made light foods tasty and addictive chemist went to work extruding ingredients in the supermarket shelves filled with attractively

package starch and reprocess to spread cornflakes and convenience to its. in a sense the food industry did what they were told they were happy to do it because sugar is actually cheaper than fat so they could increase their production. and call these products health. public ultimately paid the price. for one then you were there one in 4 children here right now is overweight one of the big reasons without thinking we give them this kids sweets crisps and chocolate every day. eating excessive sugar causes deep dysfunctions inside our bodies starting with the hormone imbalance. when you eat certain hormones go up and the main hormone that's involved in energy metabolism is

insulin insulin determines where the calories we eat get burned or get stored as fat. there's nothing a narcissist hates more than to have their inflated ego coloring it with another narcissist just like in greek mythology it's a long and messy clash of titans but on avoidable if healing and order are to be achieved is this just what we're seeing in the current battle between good america by its own exceptionalism and donald trump feels the most narcissistic.

you'll make an incredible me then mark the muslim on muslim world for a good few of them both of the 2 of both of them to get a. lot of fun. i just i think that i think. she will use it was you make an issue for most of your swim. journal bar from the sun on my last book you go to the british course that's enough of the family stuff . i mean the guy did that and of course that doesn't bother me at the time it must act. to. take a. leaf.

from. glucose sugar that is fuels nearly all living cells when we eat our pancreas secretes insulin. and this insulin is what transports sugar to ourselves. when our diets are heavy in foods that are starchy and sweet by processed foods in fact our insulin levels are constantly high. with too much insulin our fat cells the fat tissue in our body takes up too many calories and holds on to them so there aren't enough calories for the rest of the body there aren't enough calories for the loss for the organs in the brain. and that's why we get hungry. so these highly processed foods fast foods sugary

beverages junk foods that we're snacking on they digest very quickly but they don't provide wifes a tidy so it's these processed carbohydrates the driveway. despite the negative impact these ultra processed foods haven't metabolism nothing has stopped their spring. it's profitable to sell food because he's fast and sugary and solti under the victim it's much less profitable. for it is wholesome that is high in fiber and is minimally processed so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's corporate profits. this dietary revolution has fathered empires nestle you know lever coca-cola kellogg's pepsi co. currently

a handful of huge corporations own nearly every brand of food. together they pull in $500000000000.00 in annual sales and have taken control of our dinner plates. food there's a sector of our society it's not only the food companies it's not just sleaze and gnomes and cokes and pepsis it's the food retailers it's the wal marts and chorus force it's the businesses that are huge that control all the supplies of commodities and then it's also the marketers it's all the advertisers making money from marketing junk food and beverages to people so work talk about. component of our society is focused on selling the world unhealthy foods and beverages. multinationals have

a secret weapon price the products they sell are up to 60 percent cheaper than fresh foods the shoppers with the smallest budgets stock up. these low income consumers sitting ducks are the primary victims of the system. the helton family lives in one of washington's poorest neighborhoods a few miles from the white house. fresh produce is nearly impossible to find within walking distance. of the racist bill. that may. or forgot to be addressed

in washington's wealthier areas the city rate is 10 percent here it is 642 percent. of the population will. today's menu features notches ground beef and tomato sauce with extra sugar garnished with sour cream. is going to let the hay is kept for a period of a meal in the body so that we could assume. that the i will now be jesus' name we pray amen amen. after. that one of. our. locally owned family restaurants have abandoned the hamiltons inner city neighborhood fast food chains rushed in to fill the vacuum. their impact is multiplied by an implacable marketing strategy that starts on the street corner

. the food industry says it's your fault but the reality is they've changed the whole food environment they've created a food environment where every place you turn if it's on your smartphone it's on seeing a billboard it's seeing any kind of advertisement it's watching television or movies you see their junk food being pushed. to manipulation starts with the children. of. the scientific studies show there is a direct link between the ads children see and the types of food they like to eat. the world health organization recommends regulating food commercials on t.v. but the industry is ingenuous it infiltrates new areas like social networks or

online games. that's what marketing is supposed to do that's what it's designed to do they're very good at it so the mark. it was successful the question is was it helpful to my health. slick marketing hides the fact that junk food causes one of the most devastating diseases that exists diabetes. today it kills one person every 6 seconds around the world. 25 years ago if i told you that i have an 18 year old patient in my clinic with type 2 diabetes you would have said oh my gosh it's incredible it's so rare it's so strange. now it's very commonplace that young people children have type 2 diabetes. girls were like fighting a war at home. it's heartbreaking it's unfair it's unjust people are

making money off of this suffering it's preventable it's it's dehumanizing to ignore it it's inhumane to ignore it. kinney age 14 and willie 15 must take diabetes medication daily for killing them. it's actually. no way in a country like mine we don't give them health insurance and they've got the diabetes and they have the hypertension we're killing a generation of poor. one of every 2 african-american children will develop diabetes one of every 5 african american children is obese the rate is even higher among hispanics.

a young woman spoke out and triggered a rebellion. likely to legs the day i decided to write to me what is in my day to day that. there was a 1000000 things. and then there was flour sugar carjacker native. forests are lake house. sitter. i heard a young woman who was 16 at the time and she performed a poem that even now. made the hair on my arm stand up. and for the 1st time i saw a young person describing the obesity and diabetes epidemic as a social problem and i realized that she in a way is a much more effective messenger than i ever could be. given out.

by. the. black. jeans. schillinger is cordoning the energy. his nonprofit youth speaks writing workshops for young people and. he wants to use rap to raise consciousness and fork food industry propaganda. this idea that they were being lied to. that's what inspired them to become change agents. turned their pom from being a piece of art into a weapon. armed with talent and a video camera they launched an awareness campaign called the bigger picture. for me each one of those films as

a stone. that we were throwing. at the water hole and trying to see which one could make the biggest way. they will the lake up. to the bus pass the liquor store pass caught by pass the 1st. study into the 2nd burger king order my favorite round hash browns a brown body. and i don't know if we loved by ritchie i just love not being hungry . written and performed chiefly by young hispanics and african-americans the videos garnered over a 1000000 views on you tube. so i think awareness makes it possible for people to make choices. fighting to be heard. i think we're fighting to get the word out i mean we're fighting against interests that want to see us fail as long as big spending money they don't sleep.

with that the campaign to fight against them can't sleep. meanwhile 3000 miles away on the east coast another activist has risen up and coming. the podium to tell the community it's been decimated and how. this is a crisis in our community and for me it's a crisis because i'm finding that i'm losing more people to sweets than i am to the streets and i'm losing more people die related issues to the streets to gun violence this is an epidemic and one that i'm deeply concerned about . are already in his combat against this evil reverend coates it's not inhibited by the conventions associated with his calling. in this case and of soda pop right there

39 grams of sugar 39 grams of sugar in one can of soda no how many teaspoons of sugar is that anyone know how. almost 10 teaspoons of sugar so i said well i want to see how much that is so pets are actually a major demonstration to an assignment. and so that to me was like so impactful because i just never realized how much sugar i was actually putting inside of my body every time i would drink a soda and so that i'm doing that at least $7.00 to $8.00 times per day. and maybe. this is how much sugar. is in just one drink. and our children are getting pre-diabetic by the ages of 19. borderline diabetes by the time to 13 years old

and we are sabotaging the time a generation of people because of sugar people were very shocked when you poured the sugar inside the glass as they were lie. this demonstration. showed them what they probably should have learned life from childhood. debate is is it fair for transforming our fleets to compete in women's categories and sport. as a society we have decided to categorize sports based on sex i definitely do not think that it's fair for athletes step on porn as pile article males to compete in the women's category on the run. why do we have gendered sports do you have gender

categories in sport because we do treat men and women differently. every single soul beat athletes will we all have biological advantages over each other. are the same use a lot of these. friends are the subjects you know there is a lot to do to. develop confidence and belief in myself and i've learned the value of hard work and dedication i'm gonna cut out. that these men say that they feel like a woman then they will not ever know what it's like to feel the loss of a baby her maybe biologically every home of these that they will never do they really think this is fair. i just don't believe it.
