12:30 pm
to really start question believes and challenging those thoughts like well are you are really a failure? and the answer is no, i'm not. i'm not. but it took a while to get to that point. ah, 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 that, that produces fax, those and the for genic society, the news, the global phenomenon, not one country to talk today. ah,
12:31 pm
right now there are 2000000000 people adults and children who are overweight or. busy obese, this going to happen by magic. it takes work and you need to look at who it is, is driving that process. well, otherwise we'll 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 at 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. 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 their poison and targeting
12:32 pm
people, 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 body. in the, in the 1st years of the 21st century western countries declared war on obesity. to no avail. expert estimate that by 2030 there will be 250000000 obese children in the world. the government taken the right pack ah, ah, at least 2 such men and women in the u. k. are away in the break still
12:33 pm
find me. ah, basically a life changing impact on the body. slowly low your quality of life. ah. according to the messages 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. 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 are busy, don't have a wolf. our earl stay wouldn't carry excess weight because we're told so
12:34 pm
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 will get there. i can assure you that a 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,
12:35 pm
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 old ernest advice about exercise is proffered with the best intention in 2010. michelle obama launched the campaign against child obesity. you got your 1st lady. let her back especially to move your 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,
12:36 pm
the food companies and they were able to dilute 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, the better became moved more just to be on the easily uptake the public service message 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,
12:37 pm
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. okay. because there's a little bit more money back corner. so, kyla, don't, i guess she really did say to pacino's punch, just fine. i'm just gonna put you on the phone. i just wanna be okay, here's how that translates to marketing. i 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 jog and work off your calories. well,
12:38 pm
we know that actually is not true. that's not the true story. allegedly, 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 jog 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 talary, then minus calories out and they say, well that's always true because if you look at from, from the 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 think we should take the focus off of calories. yes, you can eat less and lose weight for a short while,
12:39 pm
but your body will fight back. and over the long term, we know that metabolism is stronger than will power me. all right? if individual will power is not to blame. what caught the prize and the obesity curve starting in the 1980. so what's the difference between 197-2019? while 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 me and 40 years are eating habits of under gone are real revolution fermented by public health policies of the late 1970 at the time, cardiovascular disease was the grim reaper, causing millions of them. the senate special committee on nutrition looking into the connection between diet and hawkins. the sugar lobby
12:40 pm
succeeded in having a high fat diet declared guilty of false verdict, but had serious consequences. public health officials recommended w, reducer intake of fat grains coded as collateral, 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 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. the agro industry,
12:41 pm
slight of hand, made the transition payment, sugar, a cheaper placement for fat made light paces, and the chemist went to work extruding. ingredients, supermarket shelves filled with attractively package starchy reprocess the bread cornflakes inconvenience to 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 woman you knew were the one in for children here, right. and i 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 and balanced
12:42 pm
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. the ah will be someone like me seeking the best rights for people children and that should have the best education as there is to eval, if the time to continue to oppose. but this will be confronted. but i wanted to confront dition to be political if they don't allow that and they continue to to,
12:43 pm
to seek their own. don't the nation of a scanner the way they incorporate that will give rise to an uprising without a doubt. and i'll be one of the financial survival guys. i don't buy a i buy mama teachers. that's not an almost friday. that's the last time i buy it for the future. so for i can watch, kaiser replied me she doesn't need to look. i usually have off the bus to can you through
12:44 pm
that actually use them? she says to build me up with your school, but yes, i would continue with that. because if that guy with a dinner each and picking the school from a crowded by both of us, people in, in glucose sugar that is fuels nearly all living cells. when we eat our pancreas, secretes insulin. oh, and this injury 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
12:45 pm
much in our fat cells, the 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 for the muscle, for the organs in the brain. and that's why we get hungry. so these highly processed foods, fast foods, should re beverages and junk foods that were snacking on the digest very quickly. but they don't provide much satiety. so it's these process carbohydrates and dr. wait, ah. 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 faulty and addictive,
12:46 pm
is much less profitable to sell food that his whole from 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 father empires, nestle unilever, coca cola, kellogg's pepsico. currently a handful of huge ration 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 is 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 walmarts and curry force. it's the agra. businesses are huge,
12:47 pm
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 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 budgets 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
12:48 pm
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. next 42 percent of the population today. friendly features, not ground beef and tomato sauce, with extra sugar garnished with sour cream. one of the last the has ever appeared to me and the body will consume that i will not out in jesus name. we do pray
12:49 pm
that was locally owned, family restaurants had abandoned the hamilton's 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 their food environment, what 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 or movies, you see their junk food being pushed. the manipulation starts with the children. the
12:50 pm
2 big studies show there is a direct link between the ad children see and the types of food they like to eat. the the world health organization recommend regulating food commercials on tv, 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 marketing was successful. the question is, was it helpful that might help the leak marketing hide 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.
12:51 pm
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. we're 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 h 14 and willy 15 must have 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
12:52 pm
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 hispanic. a young woman spoke out and triggered a rebellion. we eat like we still played yesterday, i decided to write down some a really is the monday, the big diet bird. that was a 1000000 things back from now. and then there was sugar, flowers, sugar, hijacking in oil, fruit, toast, horse or white powder high fruit toast. sugar died on the 40 diagrams to dive dad died. i heard a young woman who was 16 at the time, and she performed
12:53 pm
a poem that even though it may have 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. but i haven't even now diabetes that by it. why it's like suicide. ah, gene shillinger is coordinating the energy. his nonprofit youth speaks holt's writing workshops for young people in the bay area. he wants to use wrap and smoke and where to raise consciousness and thwart food and st propaganda. this idea that they were being lied to,
12:54 pm
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 which one could make the biggest way always the middle. my debbie was seen with the wake up, walked through the bus pass, mcdonald the liquor stores past pop, past the 1st visit to the 2nd burger king ordered my favorite, well, hash brown bodies. 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
12:55 pm
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 a fight against them can't sleep. meanwhile, 3000 miles away on the east coast. another activist has risen up and coming to podium to tell the community it is 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
12:56 pm
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 with a calling. then this can of soda pop. right? there are 39 grams of sugar. 39 grams of sugar in one can know how many teaspoons of sugar is that anyone know how almost 10 d sponsors. so i say why i want to see how much that is. so pastor coke, 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
12:57 pm
a soda. and so i'm doing that at least $7.00 to $8.00 times per day, 9 and maybe a half me business. how much sugar is in just one drink and our children are getting pre diabetic by the age of 9 me borderline diabetes. by the time that 13 years old and we are sabotaging the entire generation of our people because of sugar. people were very shocked. and when he poured the sugar inside the glass, they were like this demonstration show them what they probably should have learned like from childhood ah, algorithms, neural networks have been following us everywhere. we look online because our
12:58 pm
relationships are what matters most of us. and that's how we find meaning and how we make sense in our place in the silicon valley see, don't mention in their sleep presentations. however, the ghost workers who train the software humans are 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 is no longer able workforce. that seems algorithm is for next to nothing. on a very good day, i could do $5.00 now. a really bad day. i could do 10 years worth isn't movable by design. it's about labor costs, but it's also about creating layers of western responsibility between those who solicit the kind of work and need it. and those who do it me make note of borders and my number
12:59 pm
is emerge. we don't have authority, we don't the whole world needs take action and be ready. not a joke. people are the judge, you know. 2 common crisis we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in the,
1:00 pm
in the the a mod, quite cobit skeptics. and the german capital dissented to may have protested clustering with elise. berlin only had a need talk found, or anti lock down demonstrations. i met a full place open faction. israel says it now has proof that iran on saw say, attacks the tank off the coast of them on killing to prime minister tony bennett, called that a reminder, over rainy and aggression. however, ron denies the play also in the story as a shape the week. a case of negligent homicide is no one softer, a huge explosion.
