Fast food, Fat profits: Obesity in America | Fault Lines
Obesity in America has reached a crisis point. Two out of every three Americans are overweight, and one out of every three is obese. One in three is expected to have diabetes by 2050.
Minorities have been even more profoundly affected. African-Americans have a 50 per cent higher prevalence of obesity and Hispanics 25 per cent higher when…

We don't say "blacks" anymore… wtf
há 13 anos atrás eles já falavam sobre obesidade, hoje em dia é um problema do país inteiro.
22.05 YES money, healthy food is cheaper than not healthy food ,
Hamburger cheaper than a apple? Lmao where tht at
Americans are brainwashed into believing the standard American diet is how to eat. Its the recipe for cancer.
Welcome to the matrix
Most food is poisonous
Eat meat and water
Vegetables are poisonous
At the begining I was really hungry about the scenes 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
BRING BACK FAT SHAMING -OBESITY IS NOT OK
I absolutely hate the disturbing music!!! Can't watch it!!
Everyone consented to this. You choose to eat those things. Pleasure leads to death . Life is ironic. What feels good kills and what is bitter is good for you. I will prefer to fast than to eat fast food. Since I’ve stopped I’ve gone from 242 , pounds to 210 , making good progress making and growing my own food. If you are not responsible for everything in your life, then someone else is.
I think that really obese lady at the beginning of the video likes to makes excuses and not take action for her health.
We make choices. She maybe an emotional eater. For many food is like medicine. And they need to get help for emotional eating.
ppl act like they have a gun to their heads to eat like that
Fats are not "fatty". Sugar is. Hormones control weight, not simply a case of calories. This news story keeps getting it wrong. If people only ate burgers, no fries, no soda, they would not be fat.
Judging by the first shots hamburgers cause obesity. Vegans will blame the meat, carnivoren the bun. Could we repeat the twin experiment, one half eating the patties and the other the rest?
"It's cheap because I can get it on the RUN"🤣 IF you had to run for it you'd be size 0
This is not aging well.
The prices of fast food now, is at the level of dine-in foods and healthy foods, and still rising in price. Soon there won't be any reason to order fast food, since the biggest advantage it had, was very cheap prices.
Someone makes money……. WE ALL pay the bill….
Meat is not bad….. but TOO MUCH meat shortens YOUR life….
mmmmm now I want a burger.
I love living in America, I can continue to get fatter by eating whatever I want and it feels great!
You just sit around and eat fat & sugar. Of course you gain weight, mist of the people do. You can't stop eating mountains of food. First step: Ask a nutrition expert. You don't know any? So eat food that is big, like fruits, like vegetables, like fish, like beans, but is low on fat and contains no industrial sugar. Start moving, little by little, step by step. Walking, real cyling, with a regular bike, and other exercises. So you lose weight. With bad food and no moving you don't lose weight, you gain more and more. Your body wants to be moved and exercised. In the beginning not to crazy, but more and more. For me personally, I cycle uphill for 30 minutes, 45 minutes or an hour in low gears.
We ate junk food back then only difference was we were working young and playing sport so we were always active 😂
The worst part is, they gave sharp knives to the kids at school: 21:38 😱
I mean anyone who lives in north America continent knows food is not healthy here. The united states Canada eat similar food that is fried. The Mexican food is different from food in USA and Canada way they season it prepare it but it is made with lors of grease too.
What's the song at the beginning?
From 13 years in the future… nothing has changed. As a matter of fact, it's worse
In 2024 fast food is freaking expensive
One thing you need to know is that in the mid 70’s US companies started adding huge amounts of high fructose corn syrup (sugar) to every single packaged and processed food you can think of.
McDonald's for breakfast lunch and dinner complaining about it i can't even afford McDonald's once.😢😢😢
Best Thing probably Nutritionally for me was being diagnosed Celiac disease. I miss it a lot but it makes me look at fast food as poison
Is there anything good coming out of America?
At this point we all know how terrible and unhealthy and life threatening poor diet choices can be. We don’t need another government funded “groundbreaking” study to tell us this. People need to take responsibility and make the changes themselves. It’s been the same old healthy lifestyle choices that work and have worked and will continue to work for decades. Eat healthy, in moderation, and exercise. Period. Attacking the fast food industry and passing laws and whatnot is going to make zero difference. People still smoke and use tobacco, people still do illegal street drugs despite all the laws that exist. People still drink gallons of soda all throughout the day despite knowing how bad it is. You cannot force people to change, they have to want to do it themselves.
They need to take responsibility.
