the ah, the ah, ah the ah
4:31 am
me the obesity epidemic is the most important international health problem. me let me know if i need to waste basal into anything just from the factory. it's a man made tragedy. ah, earlier my life. i thought that my weight was all my fault. i felt like a failure and frankly unworthy. and it took me awhile to really start question, believe and challenging those thoughts like well are you are really a failure?
4:32 am
and the answer is no, i'm not. i'm not. but it took a while to get to that point. the obesity a blob of our arrows, fantasies caught in a web of prejudice. it prompts scolding for poor choices and accusations of laziness. unlimited genes provide an alibi. what it will be city were a collective failure or not an individual symptom of a free market that hates that, that produces fax, those and a b for genic society, the news global phenomenon, not one country to talk today. ah, the right now there are 2000000000 people adults and children who are overweight
4:33 am
or. busy obese, this will happen by magic. it takes work and you need to look at who it is, is driving that process. well, otherwise we live in, in societies in which, you know, one out of every 3 people has diabetes where everybody's obese, where people are dying of stroke and heart attack and age 40. i mean the choice is an obvious one. if we don't do something, we will collapse as society is not just in america, but in mexico and russia, and china and europe. it's happening everywhere. mm. almost everywhere in the world, men and women are battling this fate. political leaders, physicians, regular citizens. they brave the multinational. ah, we truly believe that the industry is wrong and that they are poisoning and targeting people, and people need to know about it. with wielding the weapons,
4:34 am
the last science and public policy, they want to help us regain control of our bodies. in the, 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. the government taken the right pack ah, ah, at least 2 men and women in the k or as a way to right. finding the life changing impact on the body.
4:35 am
slowly low your quality of life. ah, according to the messages spread far and wide, we alone are to blame for our weight. bad people who are simply gluttons unable to control their appetites. you have a choice. make the change. the we are told it's up to us. but is it really? for me, the most difficult stigma copeland is this idea that the people have no willpower. the people and larger bodies, people who are busy don't have a will power or else 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,
4:36 am
you will get there. i can assure you that little person will power with all it would take to lay obesity exercise more became the mantra of the 2000. it would go around the world. ah. 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 6 feet. and if you feel like stopping, you can always start back up. let's start moving. it's so easy for us to look at being person and say they have set will power there. 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 or never change this
4:37 am
obesity epidemic, hey everybody, you know, getting active every day helps us all be healthy and feel great. the same of earnest advice about exercise is profit that the best intention in 2010, michelle obama launched the campaign against child obesity. to 1st lady love her that the session to move 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 will be eating the kind of fatty salty, sugary food that we're trying to keep from them when they are at home. unfortunately, michelle obama was on the right track right from the beginning. and i think she got derailed by a mixture of bad advisors. and by bringing in the food, the food companies and they were able to dilute, have very powerful message down to something where, you know,
4:38 am
it's just her on take the television, encouraging people to move that way rather than, let's move together as a movement to be able to transform the food system, the better became moved more just to be on the easily upstage the public service message. the a boon to the multinational 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. get out by promoting exercise. most of the focus in the popular media and in the scientific breath, you know they're eating too much eating too much, eating too much, blaming fast food, blaming sure, very drinks. and so on. and there's really, fortunately, no compelling evidence of that. in fact, in the car,
4:39 am
professor steve blair is one of the head researchers recruited for the network. he's a specialist in physical exercise that may be the reason they're eating more calories than they need is because they're not burning many. so we need to be in balance. this is transitional into here. ok. because it was a little bit more money back corner. so, kyla, don't, i guess she really did say to touch just fine. i'm just gonna put you on the phone with the okay, here's how that translates into marketing. just wanna be okay. the industry has been focused on the story of calories and calories out. no, you can drink what you want. just go, go on and jogs and work off your calories. well, we know that actually is not true. that's not the true story in allegedly,
4:40 am
to avoid waking. we would simply have to burn the same number of calories as we eat . the theory sounds logical. unfortunately, it is untrue. physical exercise actually plays a minor role and weight control. you have to jug for one hour to eliminate a hamburger, a pick. so though requires over 2 hours of running if you look at it from a calorie perspective, that is fat accumulation equals sort of calories in minus calories out. and they say, well that's always true because if you look at from, from a physics perspective, that is always true. but the problem is that that's the physics and we're dealing with human physiology and 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. and over the long term,
4:41 am
we know that metabolism is stronger than willpower. me, alright? it's individual will power is not to blame. what caught the rise and the obesity curve starting in the 1980. 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 eat both the types of food and the frequency of the food that we need me in 40 years are eating habits of undergoing a real revolution fermented by public health policies of the late 19 seventies. at the time, cardiovascular disease was the grim reaper, causing millions of the senate special committee on nutrition looking into the connection between diet and sugar lobby succeeded in having
4:42 am
a high fat diet declared guilty of false verdict that had serious consequences. public health officials recommended that we produce our intake of fat grains coded as cluster all free replace meat as a staple food. and so eating more brad more rice more potatoes, for example, because they're very low fat and, you know, eating less dairy less meet low fat dairy. that kind of thing. that was the standard advice for so many years. and i think that is the most likely culprit as to why people have gain weight u. s. government called on the food industry to market thousands of processed foods that were reduced in fat and century contract. so if you're the food industry and you're supposed to reduce that, what are you going to replace it with? well processed grains and sugar. the agro industry, slight of hand, made the transition payment, sugar, a cheaper placement for fat,
4:43 am
made light to tasty and chemist went to work extruding. ingredients, supermarket shelves, filled with attractively package. starches, reprocessed, the bread, cornflakes, inconvenience to the, to the sense for 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 and call these products health foods. public ultimately paid the price, the $1.00 then you knew where the one in for children here right now is overweight . one of the big reasons with our thinking, we give them biscuit sweets, kristen chocolate every day. eating excessive sugar causes deep dysfunctions inside our bodies. starting with the hormone unbalanced
4:44 am
when you eat certain hormones go off and the main hormone that's involved in energy metabolism is insulin. insulin determines whether the calories we eat, get burned, or gets stored as fat. ah, ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, will the
4:45 am
join me every 1st a on the alex silent show when i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business, i'll see you then. me ah, with me. ah ah, i use
4:46 am
glucose sugar that is fuels nearly all living cells. when we eat our pancreas secretes insulin. oh and this instantly is what transport, sugar to ourself. the been our guide for heavy and foods that are starchy and sweet by processed foods. in fact, our insulin levels are constantly high ah. with too much in our fat cells. the fat tissue in our body takes up to 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 muscle for the organs in the brain. and that's why we get hungry. so these highly processed food, fast foods should read beverages and junk foods that were snacking on the digest
4:47 am
very quickly, but they don't provide much satiety. so it's these process carbohydrates that driveway to, ah, the, despite the negative impact, these ultra process food, tablet, metabolism, nothing has stopped there, spread its profitable to cell food. that is fatty and sugary and faulty and addictive is much less profitable to sell food that is wholesome. that is high in fiber and is minimally processed. so what's driving the obesity epidemic? it's corporate problem. me this. dietary revolution has fathered empires, nestle, you know, lever coca cola, kellogg's. pepsi co. currently,
4:48 am
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 plate. the food cause a huge sector by society. it's not only the food company, it's not just a nestle and dan ohms, and coke and pepsi. it's the food retailers at the walmart and curry force. it's the agra businesses are huge that control all the supplies commodities. and then also the marketers, it's all the advertises making money from marketing junk food and beverages to people. so we're talking about massive, massive component of our society is focused on showing the world unhealthy food and beverages the food multi nationals have a secret weapon. price. the products they sell are up to 60 percent cheaper than
4:49 am
fresh foods. the shoppers, but the smallest budget stuck up with these low income consumers sitting ducks are the primary victims of the system. the the, the hamilton family lives in one of washington's poorest neighborhoods. a few miles from the white house. the fresh produce is nearly impossible to find within walking distance. yes or so you got the washington wealthier areas be city rate is 10 percent
4:50 am
here it effects 42 percent of the population. today's new features, not ground beef and tomato sauce, with extra sugar garnished with sour cream. one last has ever appeared to me and the body that guy will not be in jesus name. we do pray, a met a man that was a locally owned family restaurant had abandoned the hamiltons inner city neighborhoods. fast food chains rushed in to fill the vacuum the their impact is multiplied by an implacable marketing strategy that starts on the street corner.
4:51 am
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, if it's on seeing a billboard, if it's seeing any kind of advertisement. if it's watching television movies, you see their junk food being pushed. the manipulation starts with the children. the mind to the studies show there is a direct link between the as children see and the types of food they like to eat. the world health organization recommend regulating food commercials on tv, but the industry is ingenuous. it infiltrates new areas, like social network, or online game. that's what marketing is supposed to do. that's what it's designed
4:52 am
to do. they're very good at it. so the mark him was successful, but questionnaires. was it helpful? the my help. the sneak 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 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.
4:53 am
it's, it's dehumanizing to ignore it. it's inhumane to ignore it. was kenny h 141 and willie 15 must take diabetes medication daily or killing those. it's actually math suicide in a way and 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 the 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
4:54 am
a rebellion. we eat like we still played yesterday, i decided to write down some a really is my day to dig diet part. that was a 1000000 things back for now. and then that was sugar flour, sugar, hijacking in oil, pipe group, or white powder, high food, pulse, sugar, died a little 40 died, francis, the 2 died dad died. i heard a young woman who was 16 at the time and she performed upon that, even though it may remain 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 in the par, haven't even now diabetes. that is why dad is like
4:55 am
suicide. ah, gene shillinger is coordinating the energy his nonprofit youth speaks, hopes, writing, workshops for young people in the bay area. he wants to use wrap in spoken word to raise consciousness and thwart food and st propaganda. this idea that they were being lied to. that's what inspired them to become change agent . that's what turned their palm 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. so for me, each one of those films as a stone that we were throwing at at the waterhole and trying to see
4:56 am
which one could make the biggest ways always do that. but the middle, my debbie was seen with the wake up who walked through the bus pass the liquor stores past pop, past the 1st bedroom. to the 2nd bedroom, she ordered my favorite well hash brown bodies drawers. and i don't know if we love deserting. i just love not being hungry, written and performed chiefly by young hispanics and african americans. the videos garnered over a 1000000 views on youtube. so i, i think awareness makes it possible for people to make choices. i think we're fighting to be heard. i think we're fighting, get the word out. i think we're fighting against interest that want to see us fail as long as big so to spending money, they don't sleep that the campaign
4:57 am
a fight against them can't sleep. meanwhile, 3000 miles away on the east coast. another activist has risen up and come the podium to tell of community unit being decimated. and how is a crisis in our community? and for me as 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. took diet related issues than i am to the streets, to gun violence. this is an epidemic. and one that i'm deeply concerned about the on the, in his combat against this evil reverend coats. it's not inhibited by the conventions associated because calling them this can of soda pop. right. there are 39 grams of sugar. 39 grams of sugar in
4:58 am
one can know how many teaspoons of sugar is that anyone know how almost 10 these are. so i say why i want to see how much that is. so pastor coats actually the major demonstration during the sermon. and so that to me was like so impactful because i just never realized like how much sugar i was actually putting inside of my body every time i would drink a soda. and so i'm doing that at least $7.00 to $8.00 times per day, 9 and maybe a half me this is how much sugar and then just one drink. right. and our children are getting pre diabetic by the age of 9 in me borderline diabetes, by the time in 13 years old. and we are sabotaging the entire generation of our
4:59 am
people because of sugar. people were very shocked. and when he poured the sugar inside the glass, they were light. this demonstration show them what they probably should have learned like from childhood. ah, rather driven by shaped control. those in me who dares thing we dare to ask me.
5:00 am
ah ah ah, the covert restrictions and mandatory policies, both furious rallies for freedom across the world. again, while medics on the other side of it, where one person is liberty begin another and you have to balance personal choice with what's good for the most people at the end of the day, life is a balance. you can't wrap people up in cost and will for us, we'll be investigating new york state handling of coven 19 and nursing homes. this .
