ah, ah ah ah ah, the obesity epidemic as the most important international health problem, let me thought that the new policy to waste control bissell and then the only thing that differ from the fact that it's a man made tragedy. earlier in 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 questioning those beliefs 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. 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. but what if obesity were a collective failure or not an individual one? the symptom of a free market that hates fat that produces fat sos and a b. so genic society or

it's a global phenomenon, not one country has halted right now. there are 2000000000 people adults and children who are overweight or. busy obese, this doesn't happen by magic, it takes work and you need to look at who it is that is driving that process. well, otherwise we're living in societies in which, you know, one of every 3 people has diabetes where everybody is 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, in russia and china and europe. it's happening everywhere. mm hm. almost everywhere in the world, men and women are battling this fate. political leaders, physicians,

regular citizens. they brave the multinationals. mm mm. 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 bodies. with in the 1st years of the 21st century western countries declared war on obesity due to no avail. experts estimate that by 2030 there will be 250000000 obese children in the world are governments take the right tack? ah,

at least 2 shots of men and women in the u. k. are overweight and right. i mean the city life changing impacts on the book. it is slowly low your quality of life. mm. according to the messages spread far and wide, we alone are to blame for our wait. fat people are simply gluttons unable to control their appetites. you have a choice. make the change. ah, we are told it's up to us. but is it really? for me, the most difficult stigma to cope with is this idea that that people have no

willpower. the people and larger bodies, people with obesity don't have a well power urls they wouldn't carry excess white because we're told so often that that's all it takes to lose way. go to the gym fowl, this diet program. you know, if you just stick to it, you'll get there for public health officials. we're sure you get a little personal will power was all it would take to slay obesity. needless exercise, more became the mantra of the 2 thousands. 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 60. 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 a lean 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 will power. it's not at the individual level, it's not individual will power. and if we go on believing that will never change this obesity epidemic. hey, every body, 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 intentions. in 2010, michelle obama launched a campaign against child obesity. your 1st lady meant her sassy, sashay 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 won't be eating the kind of fatty salty, sugary foods that we're trying to keep from them when they're 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 her very powerful message down to something where, you know, it's just her on to television, encouraging people to, to move that way rather than, let's move together here as a movement to be able to transform the food system better, became more fiance, easily upstage the public service message. i a boon to the multi nationals who quickly joined the dance in 2015. coca cola created the global energy balance network. a world wide. think tank dedicated to solving the obesity problem, gets out by promoting exercise. most of the focus in the popular media

and in the scientific press, his other eating too much eating too much, eating too much, blaming fast food, blaming. sure, very drinks. and so, and there's really virtually no compelling evidence at that. in fact, there's a co 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 many. so we need to be involved in addition to canceled it do here, okay, because any busses rolled over, i shall run a backlog, aquila. some color don't like his shoulder mediocre, say to yes. understand. okay, well, i'll put you on the phone with just wanna be okay. okay. here's how that translates into marketing with just wanna be

okay. the industry has been focused on the story of calories and calories out on. you can drink what you want. just go, go on a job and work off your calories. well, we know that actually is not true. that's not the true story. allegedly, to avoid weight gain, 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 in weight control. you have to judge for one hour to eliminate a hamburger. a pizza though, requires over 2 hours of running. if you look at it from a calorie perspective and as far 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 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 short while, but your body will fight back and over the long term we know that metabolism is stronger than will power. hm. all right. if individual will power is not to blame what caused the steep rise in the obesity curve starting in the $980.00. 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 foods that we eat. moon, and 40 years. our eating habits have 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 debts. ah, the senate special committee on nutrition is looking into the connection between diet and heart disease. the sugar lobby succeeded in having a high fat diet declared guilty of false verdict, but had serious consequences. public health officials recommended that we reduce our intake effects, grains touted as cluster all free, replaced meet 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 and left? well processed grans and sugar ah, agro industry, slight of hand made the transition, painless, sugar, a cheap replacement for fat made light foods, tasty and addicted. timos went to work extruding, ingredients, supermarket shelves, filled with attractively package, starches, reprocessed, his bread, cornflakes and convenience. ah. in a sense, the food industry did what they were told. now they were happy to do it because sugar is actually cheaper than fat. so they could increase their and call these products holfer's. homework, ultimately paid the price to $1.00, then you were the one in for children here right now is overweight. one of the big

reasons without thinking we give them biscuits suites, kristen chocolate every day. eating excessive sugar causes deep dysfunctions inside our bodies, starting with a hormone imbalance. when you eat certain hormones go up 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. ah ah, ah ah, ah, ah, with

ah, with oh driven by dreamer shapes bankers and those with dares sinks. we dare to ask with

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 and foods that are starchy and sweet by process foods, in fact, our insulin levels are constantly high. with too much, insulin are fat cells that a fat tissue in her 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 for the muscle, for the organs in the brain. and that's why we get hungry. so these highly processed foods are fast foods,

sugary beverages. joe foods that were snacking on. they die just very quickly, that they don't provide much satiety. so it's these processed carbohydrates that drive, wait mm. the negative impact these ultra processed foods have on metabolism. nothing has stopped their sprint with 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 profit. mm hm. this dietary revolution has fathered empires, nestle unilever, coca cola, kellogg's pepsico. currently

a handful of huge corporations own nearly every brand of food. together they pull in $500000000000.00, an annual sales, and have taken control of our dinner plates. food is a huge sector of our society. it not only that food company, it's not just the nest leaves and dan homes and cokes and pepsi's. it's the food retailers, it's the wal mart and curry force. it's the agra. businesses are huge. that control all the supplies of commodities. and then it also the marketers, it's all the advertisers 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 fresh foods. the shoppers with the smallest budgets stuck up with these low income consumers. sitting ducks are the primary victims of the system a ah, the hamilton family lives in one of washington's poorest neighborhoods. a few miles from the white house. with fresh produce is nearly impossible to find within walking distance. i or for you guys are in washington's wealthier areas. the city rate is 10 percent

last year. it affects 42 percent of the population. now today's midnight features nachos, ground beef and tomato sauce, with extra sugar garnished with sour cream. one of left the hey, underprepared meal in the body that wilkerson that die will not out be done in jesus name. we do pray, a mess with that was a locally owned family. restaurants had abandoned the hamilton's inner city neighbourhood. fast food chains rushed in to fill the vacuum a. 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 it on your smartphone. if it's on seeing a billboard, if it's seeing any kind of advertisement, if it's watching television and movies, you see their junk food being pushed. the manipulation starts with the children with ah, ah, scientific studies show there is a direct link between the ads, children, see, and the types of food they like to eat. ah, the world health organization recommends regulating food commercials on tv. but the industry is ingenuous. it infiltrates new areas, like social networks or online games. oh,

that's what market he 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? ah, slick marketing hides the fact that junk food calls is one of the most devastating diseases that exists. diabetes today, it kills one person every 6 seconds around the world. ah, 25 years ago. if i told you that i have an 18 year olds, 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 strain. now it's very commonplace that young people, children have type 2 diabetes. oh, we're like fighting a war at home. you know, 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. horse kenny h 14 or, and willie 15 must take diabetes, medication dairy or killing them. it's, 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. ah, 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 fill slaves yesterday i decided to write down some a gritty is my day to dig diet for them was a 1000000 things back math for now. and then there was sugar flour, sugar hijacking in oil, pi group of corn syrup. white powder high from 12 pence are sugar, died a little 40 dye brand, but he to die. i heard a young woman who was 16 at the time and she performed upon that even now it made the 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. in fact, whether christopher,

haven't juvenile diabetes, that by it's white day, it's like suicide. ah, gene shillinger is coordinating the energy his non profit youth speaks halter writing workshops for young people in the bay area. he wants to use wrap in spoken word to raise consciousness and thwart food industry propaganda . this idea that they were being lied to. that's what inspired them to become change agents. 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. busy films as a stone that we were throwing at i,

at the water hole and trying to see which one to make the biggest way always with my debbie routing was to wake up home walk to the bus, stop past mcdonalds, the liquor store is past papa. past the 1st a to the 2nd burger t order, my favorite raw hash brown. again, brown bodies room. and i don't know if we love burger king or just loved having hungry, written and performed chiefly by young hispanics and african americans. the videos garnered over a 1000000 views on youtube. so 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 wants to see us fail . as long as big, so they're spending money and 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 commandeered a podium to tell the community it has been decimated and health. this 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 already own in his combat against this evil, reverend coats is not inhibited by the conventions associated with his calling. then this can of soda palm right. there are 39 grams of

sugar. 39 grams of sugar in one can of soda. now, how many teaspoons of sugar is that? anyone know how hulu? almost 10 d sponsors. i said, well, i want to see how much that is. so pastor coats actually they have this major demonstration to in a 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 a. this is how much sugar is in just one drink. right? and our children are getting pre diabetic by the ages of 9 in borderline diabetes. by the time the 13 years old and we are sabotaging an entire generation

of our people because of sugar. people were very shocked. and when he poured the sugar inside the glass, they were like, oh, this demonstration. show them what they probably should have learned like from childhood. mm hm. i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear i would like to take on various job with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with

a robot must protect its own existence with join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. oh, when i want something wrong, when all proofs just don't hold any world to save out, disdain becomes the advocate an engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground

headlining this our adding to growing coles for his resignation. british pay and boris johnson finds himself in further trouble. now, this time over a christmas party quiz. last, jip went straight covered rules band gatherings for every one else. up to 100. a fit dead off to tornadoes read through several american states. but the disaster underlying the countries deep rip with some politicians already trying to score points from the tragedy. the dystopian literary classic 90 that he for is getting a sequel of sorts. this time from a feminist perspective, we discuss whether it's a timely update or a glimpse into the rewriting and revising which ga well warned about. i don't see any reason why any bro shouldn't be subject.
