6:31 pm
a banana and a banana gets sick. and now there's no more bananas to because there's no more diversity the, the, the, the ah, [000:00:00;00] me, the obesity epidemic is the most important, international health problem. me let me get plenty of time. i think we saw the
6:32 pm
basal and i don't think the faculty 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. ready and it took me awhile to really start question, believe and challenging those thoughts like well or you were really a failure. me 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. omnipotent genes provide an alibi. what it will be city were collected,
6:33 pm
failure, 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, the right now there are 2000000000 people. adults and children who are overweight or. busy obese, this only 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 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,
6:34 pm
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 positions regular citizens . they brave the multinational. ah, we truly believe that the industry is wrong and that they're poisoning and targeting people, and people need to know about it. with 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
6:35 pm
no avail. experts estimate that by 2030 there will be 250000000 obese children in the world. government taken the right pack? ah ah, at least 2 such men and women in the k or as a way to right. finding the bay city. life changing impacts 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. that people are simply gluttons unable to control their appetites. you have a choice. make the change the
6:36 pm
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 to be. so i don't know if they 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 the diet program. you know, if you just stick to it, you'll get there. i think health officials, we're sure that a little personal will power was 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,
6:37 pm
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 such will power. 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 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 is proffered that the best intention. in 2010, michelle obama launched the campaign against child obesity. first lady love her,
6:38 pm
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 foods 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 very powerful message down to something where, you know, 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 system, the better became moved more to be on the easily upstage the public service method
6:39 pm
a boon to the multinational who quickly joined the dance in 2015. the 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 drink. and so on, and there's really virtually no compelling evidence of that. in fact is the 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. initial syndic transitional into here. okay. any passers all the money back a corner, full color. i don't, i guess to be
6:40 pm
a to just bond on his account. put you on the phone with the okay. heres how that translates into marketing 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, 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,
6:41 pm
that is the accumulation equal 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 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 we know that metabolism is stronger than will power me. all right? if individual will power is not to blame what caught the steep rise nearby city curve starting in the 1980. so what's the difference between 970 and 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
6:42 pm
frequency of the foods that we in in 40 years are eating habits, undergone 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 hawkins. the sugar lobby succeeded in having a high fat diet declared guilty of soft verdict. but had serious consequences. public health officials recommended to do their intake as fast grains counted as collateral, free replace meat as a stable food and so eating more brad more brice 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
6:43 pm
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 grow industry, slight of hand, made the transition payment, sugar, a cheaper placement for fat made light paces, and the chemist went to work extruding, ingredient, supermarket shelves filled with attractively package. starches, reprocessed, the bread cornflakes, inconvenience to the food industry did what they were told. they were happy to do it because sugar is actually cheaper
6:44 pm
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 and balanced. 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 get stored as fat. the me over
6:45 pm
the, [000:00:00;00] ah, the glucose sugar that is fuels nearly all living cells. when we eat,
6:46 pm
our pancreas secretes insulin and this instantly is what transport sugar to ourself the when our diet for heavy and foods that are starchy and sweet. they processed foods. in fact, our insulin levels are constantly high. ah, with too much insulin, our fat cells, little fat tissue in our body, takes up to many calories and holds onto them. so there aren't enough calories for the rest of the body. there aren't enough calories from the muscle for the organ, the brain. and that's why we get hungry. so these highly processed food, fast foods, should read beverages. joe foods that were snacking on the digest very quickly, but they don't provide much satiety. so it's these processed carbohydrates driveway
6:47 pm
to ah, despite the negative impact these ultra process food tab metabolism, nothing has got their spread. 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 problems. me this. dietary revolution has fathered empires. next 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,
6:48 pm
the food because a huge sector of 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, it's the walmarts 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 food multi nationals have a secret weapon. price products they sell are up to 60 percent cheaper than fresh foods the shoppers, but the smallest budget stuck up with these low income consumers sitting ducks,
6:49 pm
either primary victims of the system. 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,
6:50 pm
with extra sugar garnished with sour cream. one last to me in the body. that guy will not be in jesus name. we do pray that was locally owned, family restaurants had 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, if it's on seeing a billboard,
6:51 pm
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 9 to the studies show there is a direct link between the children, see and the types of food they like to eat. 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?
6:52 pm
the leak marketing hides the fact that junk food causes limit 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. no, 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.
6:53 pm
was kenny, a 14 and willie 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 live, we still play. yesterday i decided to write down some really is my day to dig diet
6:54 pm
part. that was a 1000000 things back from now. and then there was sugar, flowers, sugar, hijacking in oil, pipe group, or white powder high food, sugar, died, a little 40 died brands. the 2 died died. i heard a young woman who was 16 at the time and she performed a poem 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. but i haven't even now diabetes. that is why i is like suicide. ah, gene shillinger is coordinating the energy his nonprofit youth speaks, hopes,
6:55 pm
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, 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 ways always do that. but the middle, my debbie was with the wake up, walked through the bus,
6:56 pm
pass and examine the liquor stores past pop, past the 1st visit to the 2nd order my favorite, well, hash brown bodies drawn and i don't know if we love deserting. i just love not being hungry in 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 soda 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
6:57 pm
podium to tell the community units being decimated and health 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 already in his combat against his evil, reverent coats, is not inhibited by the conventions associated with his calling them. this can of soda pop. right. there are 39 grams of sugar. 39 grams of sugar in one candle soda. now, how many teaspoons of sugar is that? anyone know how?
6:58 pm
almost 10 years i say what i want to see how much that is so petticoats 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. and maybe a half me this is how much sugar and then just one drink 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 shocked. and when he poured the sugar inside the glass,
6:59 pm
they were like this demonstration show them what they probably should have learned like from childhood. ah, the lack of universal healthcare makes america the country of every man for himself . we have a retirement crisis in this country and we have a health care crisis for seniors in this country as well. so private business has come up with a special mechanism for that. it's called the live settlement market. we are a life settlement provider, which means that we buy life insurance policies from primarily seniors throughout the united states who no longer want or can't afford their life insurance policies . if you're sick and for want to live a few more years, you can sell your life insurance. that way you get more money right away and the company collects your insurance payment after your death. there's
7:00 pm
a group of people out there. i get hoping that people die soon. what kind of motivation is i give them when i start crying about them dying? that's usually what it's about. it's just the sheer unfairness of it all. the the cochlan separate his leader carlos pushed him on his release from custody uneasily, but expected at an extradition hearing that next month, the photos he detention overnight after almost 4 years on the run from this punish government as european lawmakers brought the rest as great as a ne job biden's approval ratings and slums falling a raft of divine to policies would be us presidents now less popular than hit for
