failure and frankly unworthy. and it took me awhile to really start question, believe 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 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 the free market that hates fat . that produces fax, those and a be for genic society, the news
5:31 am
global phenomenon, not one country to talk today. ah, right now there are 2000000000 people adults and children who are overweight or. busy obese, this only happens 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 on 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 multi nation. oh,
5:32 am
we truly believe that the industry is wrong and that they're poisoning and targeting people, and people need to know about it. ah, wielding the weapons of law science and public policy, they want to help us regain control of our bodies with me. 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,
5:33 am
at least 2 men and women in the k r. i was away in the break. still climbing with the city, life changing impacts on the body. slowly lower your quality of life. ah. according to the messages spread far and wide, we alone are to blame for our weight. fact people 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 segmented. copeland is this idea that the people have no willpower. the people and larger bodies, people who are busy don't have
5:34 am
a well bower 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, you'll get there. i think health officials for sure that a little person will power with all it would take to lay obesity. eat last 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
5:35 am
look at someone with a weight problem and attribute all of these negative traits. oh, they're just weak. they don't have will power. it's not at the individual level, it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that or never change this 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 it's proffered that the best intention in 2010. michelle obama launched the campaign against childhood recently got to 1st lady her back 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
5:36 am
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, it's just her on say, television, encouraging people to move that way rather than, let's move together as a movement to be able to transform the food system better became moved more easily upstage the public service message a boon to the multinational who quickly joined the dance in 2015. coca cola created the global energy balance network worldwide. think tank dedicated to solving the obesity problem. get out by promoting exercise. most of the folks in the popular media and in the scientific breath, you know,
5:37 am
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, as a car 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 can do here. ok. because any money back corner from carla don't i guess she really did say to touch just fine. i'm just gonna put you on the phone. i just wanna be okay. here's how that translates to marketing. just wanna be okay. the industry has been focused on the story of calories and calories out. no,
5:38 am
you can drink what you want. just go, go on and jog and work off your calories. well, we know that actually is not true. that's not the true story. eventually 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, kind of accumulation equals sort of calorie then 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 really has nothing to do with each other. i
5:39 am
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, we know that metabolism is stronger than willpower. me all right. if 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 972019? 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, our eating habits that under gone are real revolution fermented by public health policies of the late 19 seventies. at the time, cardiovascular disease was the grim reaper housing millions of the senate special committee on nutrition looking into the
5:40 am
connection between diet and hot sugar lobby, succeeded in having a high fat diet declared guilty of false burdick that had serious consequences. public health officials recommended that we would use our intake of fat grains coded as cluster all free replace meat as a stable 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 centric contract. so if you're the food industry and you're supposed to reduce that, what even to replace it with?
5:41 am
well processed grains and sugar. the agro industry, slight of hand, made the transition payment, sugar, a cheaper placement for fat made light food and chemist went to work extruding. ingredients, supermarket shelves filled with attractively package starchy reprocess the bread cornflakes inconvenience to the 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 and call these products health. 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,
5:42 am
every day. eating excessive sugar causes deep dysfunctions inside our bodies, starting with the hormone unbalanced. 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 confirmed or get stored as fat. ah, will be someone like me seeking the best rights for people for children. and that should have the best education as blurs to evelyn. if the time of bond continue to oppose this will be confronted. i want confirmation to be political if they don't allow that. and if they continue to, to, to seek their own domination of, of gather some the way they incorporate,
5:43 am
that will give rise to a national uprising without a doubt. and i'll be one of the driven by general, shaped by those with the in me dares think me, we dare to ask in algorithms and neural networks have been following us everywhere. we look online because our relationships are what matters most of us and that's how we find meaning and how we
5:44 am
make sense in our place in silicon valley see don't mention in the slick presentations. however, i think ghost workers who train the software human, they're involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold as this miracle of automation behind your screen. it's available workforce that seems algorithm that's for next to nothing. on a very good day, i could do $5.00 now. a really bad day. i could do $0.10. these workers are movable by design. it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of lessening responsibility between those who solicit the kind of work and need if and those who do it glucose sugar that is, fuels nearly all living cells. when we eat, our pancreas secretes insulin and this injury
5:45 am
is what transport sugar to ourselves. when our diets are heavy and foods that are starch and sweet, they processed foods. in fact, our insulin levels are constantly high ah, with too much in our fat cells. little fat tissue in our body takes up to many calories and hold on to them. so there aren't enough calories for the rest of the body. there aren't enough calories from 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 very quickly, that they don't provide much satiety. so it's these process carbohydrates driveway . ah,
5:46 am
despite the negative impact these ultra process food, tablet, metabolism, nothing has got their spread, the it's profitable to sell food that is fatty and sugary and salty 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 bothered empires nestling unit lever, coca cola kellogg's. pepsi co, currently, a handful of huge corporations on 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
5:47 am
a huge sector by society. it's not only the food company, it's not just a nestle and dan owns, and coke and pepsi. it's the food retailers, it's the walmart and curry force. it's the agra businesses are huge. that control all the supplies the 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 beverage. the food multi nationals have a secret weapon. price. the products they sell are up to 60 percent cheaper than fresh foods. the shoppers with the smallest budget stuck up with these low income consumers sitting ducks. the primary victims of the system,
5:48 am
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. the city rate is 10 percent here it is 642 percent of the population. today's new features, nacia ground beef and tomato sauce, with extra sugar garnished with sour cream. one glass appeared to me
5:49 am
in the body that guy will not be in jesus name. we do pray. a man that was a locally owned family restaurant had abandoned the hamilton's inner city neighborhood. fast food chains rushed in to fill the vacuum there impacted applied by an implacable marketing strategy that starts on the street corner. the food industry says it's your fault, but the reality, if 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,
5:50 am
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 children, see and the types of food they like to eat. the the world health organization recommends regulating food commercials on tv. but the industry is ingenuous. it infiltrates new areas, like social networks, or online game. that's what marketing is supposed to do. that's what it's designed to do. they're very good at it. so the marketing was successful. the question is, was it helpful? the my help? the sleek marketing hides the fact that junk food causes one of the most
5:51 am
devastating diseases that exists. diabetes to day 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. and 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. it's, it's dehumanizing to ignore it. it's in humane to ignore it. kenny,
5:52 am
a 14 and willy 15 must take diabetes medication daily or killing those. it's actually math suicide in a 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 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 a rebellion. we eat like we played yesterday. i just had to write down some a really is the monday, the big part. that was a 1000000 things back from now. and then that was sugar. flour, sugar,
5:53 am
japanese oil, pipe, fruit, toast, horse or white powder, high fruit toast, sugar died, 40 died, brands to dive. dad died. i heard a young woman who was 16 at the time and she performed upon that, even though it may have remained 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. but i haven't even now diabetes. that is why it's like suicide. ah,
5:54 am
genes shillinger is coordinating the energy his nonprofit youth speaks holt's writing workshops for young people in the bay area. the 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 in 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 which one could make the biggest way always to go middle my daily routine with the wake up walked through the bus pass and the liquor stores
5:55 am
pop past the 1st visit to the 2nd order, my favorite, well, hash browns and bodies drawn. 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 to fight against them can't sleep. meanwhile, 3000 miles away on the east coast. another activist has risen up and come to podium
5:56 am
to tell a community it has been decimated. and how the, this is a crisis in our community and from 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 already in his combat against this evil. reverend coke does not inhibited by the conventions associated with his calling them. this can of soda palm right. there are 39 grams of sugar. 39 grams of sugar in one candle. so don't know how many teaspoons of sugar is that anyone know how? almost 10 years actually what i want to see how much that is. so pastor coats
5:57 am
actually the major demonstration doing this 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 is in just one drink. right. and our children are getting pre diabetic by the age of 9. and in borderline diabetes, by the time in 13 years old, and we are sabotaging the entire generation of our people because of sugar. people were very short. and when he poured the sugar inside the glass, they were like this demonstration show them what they probably should have
5:58 am
learned like from childhood. me look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter, in that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to create truck rather than fear take on various jobs with the artificial intelligence we'll summoning the theme in a robot must protect its own existence with
