What's a Food Industry to Do?
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 12. 2012
- I'd been asked by the food industry to give this talk at an industry breakfast, but 3 days prior to the event they got cold feet and dis-invited me. The good news is, the internet's a much larger audience than a room full of food industry folks who likely wouldn't have cared much about what I had to say in the first place. So here's my take on what the food industry can do, why they're not going to do it, and what we can do about it.
This Guy is one of the most honest persons regarding nutrition and a healthy lifestyle!!!!
This is so scary. Thank you so much for this awesome post. As a French girl living in the US, I'm still outraged at most of ads and packaging for food here. All these "natural" and "no sugar" processed food actually turned me into some kind of a paranoid person in the supermarket... There's only one way out for me: home cooking. So much better, healthier.. And fun!
+French Andparfait French culture around eating has a lot going for it. Smaller portions, takes more time...and you bastards have way, way, way, way, way more good food over there. -.- Whenever in Europe, I'm somewhat astonished by how even the freaking snacks in corner stores has less sugar and tastes better than the crap in North America. :(
Cardiologist here- I wholeheartedly agree with the underlying message of this video and commend Dr. Freedhoff for putting it together. Obesity, diabetes, and atherosclerosis have all become true epidemics and the damage to our society cannot be underestimated.
My takeaway here is I am going to drink a quarter glass of maple syrup every day, mmm.
Found the Canadian!
If you want the government to regulate the food industry you'll first have to get money out of politics so officials aren't beholden to the industries they're supposed to regulate.
Pat Version Absolutely true but we cannot discount the power we have as consumers. We make a choice every time we buy a product.
@@PavanMehat12 but they fake it, and we don't have a choice, IT IS IN EVERY FREAKEN PRODUCT way too much. If you wna have a choice, you gotta move out and make your own food.
The last 4 minutes are the most important part of this video. We cannot abdicate our personal responsibility to the food industry, government etc. If I die from obesity it is my fault.
That's really the key to it all. Taking total responsibility for our own health and well-being! And getting off our own asses!
Vitamin Water is like drinking flat Coke and then licking a multivitamin supplement
+Zoe Adams Interesting. How about vitamin water that uses a 0 calorie sweetener like stevia? Or xylitol?
There are still substances in those "0 calorie vitamin water" that are very unhealthy. It is always best (even when exercising) to drink water. Through a well balanced diet of plant and the ever so occasional meat, you should get all the vitamins you need to sustain a healthy life style. If you are worried that you are still not getting enough vitamins because you are unable to eat properly, a multi vitamin is good to look into. Not just any multivitamin that you buy at massive food chains(I highly recommend doing a lot of research into which ones would be best for you). To simply put, something I always like to think about. If it hasn't been around as long as man, then don't eat it. People have yet to create something healthier through refining and processing of the original food.
Merci Arte 🇫🇷 🇩🇪
yeah i was just going to type this 😊
The world needs more people like you.
this is fucking amazing
you just destroy these commercial and companies
i love it.
The FDA is a joke now.
The investigators are pretty much there to line their pockets.
indeed
Thank you Dr. Freedhoff! Real food does not come in a box, can, bottle or bag... We have a responsibility to stand up for putting real food back in our bodies. Our health depends on it!
i watched sugar coated super good this guy is great
Clean Big Food's clock and we won't need a Big Pharma. Strong work Dr. Freedhoff!
thank you for posting and I'm sorry to hear they gave you the boot...
Dr. Fredhoff thank you so much for this amazing video. As a current medical student this video is such an inspiration. You perfectly embody how a physician should be an advocate for not only their patients but also the general public.
"Regulations and government have failed, therefore, we need MORE government and regulations!" -Yoni Freedhoff
I'd love to hear of a form of government ever that was free of corruption.
+chbrules Exactly, we need less government, less regulations, we need more competition, more private schools, less public schools, so that people can pick and reward the right things rather than depending on big gov to tell us what is right. We all know the big corps have their hands in the politician's pockets. Less gov, not more, is the solution.
Government hasn't failed. Lack of government is failing us.
Buttershine Racing No, government has failed you and always will. You go to public schools where teachers are paid regardless of their performance, whereas in private schools if a teacher isn't up to par, she gets fired. It's the public schools which failed to teach you basic nutrition.
More government leads to more bureaucracy and corruption, just look at Venezuela crumbling right now. When will people learn that socialism never works.
Buttershine Racing
We literally have more government regulation than ever in the history of the world. There was more government regulation over banking in the US than ever in history when the 2007 financial shitstorm happened. There is more regulation over food and drugs than ever in the history of the world.
You're absolutely, demonstrably delusional if you believe otherwise.
Well, if a simple set of rules would be implemented in the functionality of a government.
Like:
1. no people over the age of 40 are allowed in any form of political system that deals with decisions, not as advisers, not as workers, nothing.
2. no more money coming from the outside. You get a salary, and that's it, that's all you need. You have more money than the salary, well, you're suspect. You get yourself an investigation
3. no more single seats of power but no overly inflated groups either. A number is to be picked based (how that is chosen is not in discussion here).
4. no more complicated laws with umbrella systems. No more passing laws just so you can shove in under a ton of irrelevant (to the law subject) clauses. The law should be one, expressed clearly, expressed without 101 paragraphs, based on empirical data, complicated laws have bad results and enable evil people to do evil things.
5. no more stupid people. You want to lead others? Oh boy, you need fucking credentials, you need to actually know how to count. No more retarded inbred sheep herders talking about laws on the internet for example, when they don't even know how to open a computer, let alone use it to browse.
6. no more outside influence, who leads a country, the politicians or BIGCORP? Since when can a company threaten an entire country with lawsuits and make them recede laws (see BIGSMOKE lawyering up on a country who's entire monetary situation was under their soles for passing laws that made it hard for people to keep a blind eye to smoking cancer sticks).
Other things could be added, the above can be reformulated, but these seem to be the main hitters. Aged, greedy, fat, encrusted, brainless simpletons "ruling" over others. Old should be taken out, in with the new. Since when has it ever worked for us, as humanity, that old be kept in high places. Old has always taken us to war, made us slaughter each other. You don't hear about new getting people in decade old issues. It's always old, old, old sparking flame left and right.
Old is always gangrene on the new and therefore should never be allowed to lead. What the fuck does it say about us as humans, that we let the old and senile leads us? People who know nothing at all or care about the plights we face?
Take space for example. Why would old people ever bother with space exploration? They'll never reach up there. Where as young people want to reach up there, but can't because instead of setting science and learning up on a pedestal, old people decide, well, i better send me some of those young people to war.
Straight to TEDx !!!!
awesome story, well brought!
I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment that we need government intervention with this comercial manipulation of word play. We do, however, need to educate ourselves and be responsible consumers and up our level of critical reading in order to see through the gimicks and understand the concepts and tactics mentioned earlier in the video.
"no sugar added" doesn't mean that it has low sugar, it just means that they didn't add any. anything beyond that is an assumption and they are playing with our ignorance to seek further info... like turning over the box. The federal government doesn't have to waste tax dollars to pander to the consumer. We need to stop being lazy with our purchases.
Not everyone has an equal amount of time and ability to be educated about food. Especially with all the misinformation out there.
THANK YOU for putting this terrific video online. I wonder how many MORE people will benefit from seeing it than if you had just gone to the food industry breakfast and shown it there.
Thank you for creating this video!
netflix
Netflix brought me here, too!
likewise! (I'm halfway through "Sugar Coated" just now)
same! i just paused "Sugar Coated" to watch this video xD
Here from "Sugar Coated" also; very informative
Same here
Today in Germany TV. Thanks. Sugar is bad, but most people won´t hear it.
+Maik Sievers And France's TV Arte at the same time :)
+Maik Sievers Yes I watch now on Arte (Belgium)
+Maik Sievers Sugars are necessary. If we didn't eat glucose, we'd not be very well-off, particularly our brains which consume copious amounts of glucose just to keep the lights on, so-to-speak.
*Too much* sugar is the problem, and i's really, really, *REALLY* (just barely enough emphasis) easy to eat too much sugar (sucrose and fructose, which are decidedly not good in large amounts) in our society. Almost every single product that's produced gets extra sugar, be it yogurt, certain cheeses, cereals, bread, on-and-on. :( It's mildly depressing.
The fact that we literally need this stuff (food) to survive makes this battle quite difficult. We need reformation of the food industry, not destruction.
+lies damnlies Most people don't understand that there is good sugar and bad sugar and that it's necessary. CARBS ARE SUGAR, take some oatmeal for example, take a very small bite and leave it in your mouth for a little while, and you will feel it is sweet. Organic unrefined raw brown sugar, is good especially if you need the energy, or to make your smoothies taste better so you can handle them. The sugar from fruits is extremely good, fruitarian diet is definitely one of the best diets out there. I'm not saying drink kilo bags of sugar, but you can definitely eat that much fruit and not worry about it.
Yer Make Me Sick To Be Human
*"CARBS ARE SUGAR"*
It would be more accurate to say sugars are carbs, since carbohydrates include starches and cellulose, not just sugars.
*"Organic unrefined raw brown sugar, is good especially if you need the energy,"*
Unfortunately no. There is effectively no difference in health effects between brown sugar, refined white sugar, and say, honey. Brown sugar is by definition refined, the only difference being that brown sugar still contains molasses.
*"The sugar from fruits is extremely good, fruitarian diet is definitely one of the best diets out there."*
Yes and no. Fruits and vegetables are quite good on their own. Note that fruits generally contain high quantities of fructose. The reason fresh whole fruits are good is because of the high amount of fibre present. This makes one feel rather full after say, eating a single grapefruit.
Compare that to fruit juice, which will likely contain in one serving the juice from anywhere between five to nine of the given fruit. That's a *hell* of a lot more sugar, and it won't leave you feeling full at all, which will lead to the urge to continue eating.
*"I'm not saying drink kilo bags of sugar, but you can definitely eat that much fruit and not worry about it."*
If you eat a kilogram of fruit and don't exercise vigorously to burn off all that sugar in short order, you are doing yourself no favours. You might as well drink three bottles of soda.
This isn't a case of "good" sugars and "bad" sugars. You either have too much, too little, or a healthy amount. That's it. Any differences between sugars will be handled by your body (there are many, many mechanisms in the human body that are all about converting, storing, and retrieving chemical energy, such that it matters little what types of sugars you're eating, just so long as you are getting enough but not too much).
Dr Freedhoff is very informed .It would be a delight to hear doctors tallk to us like this in medical clinics.
props to you for taking the time to make this video. Your doing more good than you know, and your changing the lives of real people for the better.

Portal turret spotted!
there needs to be a large scale movement to strong-arm the food industry to be honest.
Would have been easier... If one of Harper's last moves in power wasn't to sell the Canadian wheat board to the US and a Saudi investment fund...
it's called boycotting. start practicing your consumer power
...have a garden. Grow herbs and foods either in the ground or in pots. In apartments, get together with some neighbors and everyone grow something different so at the end of the season a good larder can be stocked.
The answer isn't more gov't. The answer is take responsibility and solve your own problems. :D
+Thaddeus3rd Thank You!!! I couldn't agree more.
Bravo Yoni! I am thoroughly impressed with your eloquent and thoughtful summary of the issues and next steps.
Great job yoni. Thanks for showing your presentation.
Of course grape juice has no added sugar, and yet contains a lot of sugar : fruits are full of sugar
+Boris Baskovec Well..fruits are full of fiber and sugar; the fiber in fruit is the important thing. Because you would have a really difficult time eating enough of most fruits to get to the amount of sugar you get in a single glass of juice--the fiber, which can't be digested and thus has no calories, just fills you too quickly.
However, in juice, that's all removed and you're left with JUST sugar. So you can get a dozen pieces of fruits worth of sugar in a single glass. For example, for a standard glass of apple juice (About 12 ounces) you need to eat 6-8 apples. That's not easy to eat. But a kid can down a couple glasses of apple juice relatively quickly.
So, fruit does have sugar in it, but it also has fiber, which prevents you from taking in as much sugar because it fills you up--juice gets rid of the fiber, and that's the issue.
+Nayr747 Wrong. Sugar is sugar. Fruit sugar is no healthier than added sugar, or even cane sugar. One piece of fruit a month is plenty in order to survive, and the only reason why you even need that one piece of fruit is to prevent scurvy.
Just look at Steve Jobs. Dude swore by his fruit diet and ultimately that's what killed him. You can't just eat nothing but sugar-based substances and expect to live a healthy life. You need to eat a variety of foods, and you need to avoid any and all sweets as much as possible, including fruit. Sugar is still sugar, whether it comes from an apple, dessert or even your beloved soy milk. Bottom line is if it tastes sweet, it's not good for you. That's why I avoid even bread.
Edit: While we're here, I should mention that you should avoid oils as well. Just look at the statistics; back in the 1950s when we used butter and lard for cooking, heart disease was at an all-time low. But then Crisco came along and insisted that vegetable oil is better for you in order to sell more of it, and now heart disease is a bigger killer than even cancer. Correlation much?
+Psythik you clearly know nothing about nutrition
+Psythik The difference in commercial sugar and fruits are that fruits have many essentials minerals and vitamins with natural fiber. Sugar is just sugar. Sugar in fruits are not the same as eating just sugar.
I nether understand why processed food is cheaper than real... Why the unprocessed and unpacked nuts may cost tripple as fried salty nuts for example???
Raised in Russia and lived in China, USA and Europe for many years, i can say now - the USA is a country where to find real healthy food is the most difficult thing. You need to read package, compare sugar, energy level, fat. If you got a smoothy in Philippines- it will be only banana, water and ice in it. Guess what you will get in the "healthy" smoothy in some fitness studio in US? In traditional restaurant in China you normally get 2 small pieses of water melon for dessert. Compare it with any restaurant in US or Europe? Today i alwas say "the food must be simple". Cooked potato with salty cucumber, (as i got it in my childhood) won't make you fat. As long as you don't add whole milk, butter, steak with souse and glass packed orange juice "no sugar added" to it. Enjoy your meal :)
+Nikto Bezimjannyj *I nether understand why processed food is cheaper than real... Why the unprocessed and unpacked nuts may cost tripple as fried salty nuts for example???*
Economy of scale. If the manufacturer makes 1,000 times as much of the processed nuts as they do the unprocessed/lightly-salted ones, the former may end-up costing less per-unit-weight than the latter.
*the USA is a country where to find real healthy food is the most difficult thing.*
In the USA there are literally some places where you can't even find a grocer. It's packaged, corner-store crap or nothing. They're called "food deserts". Even worse is often in a grocery store the processed crap is cheaper than the fresh food. Which is bloody ridiculous.
Also, hands-off the butter dude. Butter makes *everything* better. :p (There's some evidence now that dairy fats aren't deserving of the bad rap most fats get, even the saturated ones. And anyway, we all need *some* fat to live. And it does genuinely make things taste better. The difference between 2% and skim milk in a coffee is stark, for example.)
Wow, this is brilliant. So glad the food industry brushed you off. You could do these videos full-time and I would watch em.
I'm here from the documentary Sugar Coated, thank you. Really really thank you!
Yoni, I like these 'call to action' videos, however, I think what most of these videos (and other videos by other people) tend to fail to capitalize on are the actual "how" to band together and make a difference. If the end of the video is a vague "we must do more" then the response will also be vague - and the result is that the video raised awareness (of that I thank you, as this was a good video) but the long-term result is that there was no long term action because if your audience is unable to discern the difference between fruitloops, craftmac, and others when compared to real food, then they are also likely the type of person who doesn't have a clue on how to initiate and achieve meaningful action.
In your future videos, please take a few moments and an extra step to 'capture' the motivation you instill and focus it on a specific way to achieve action.
He can get sued for doing that
+Fernando Martinez really? why?
What can be taken away from this vid is that processed foods are mostly sugar coated crap. We don't need to band together to change our diet, that's one's personal responsibility. The action an individual can take is to change it's diet, plain and simple. Don't buy into advertising, they're not truthful info-mercials, their only purpose is to sell you shit so that they can make money. And if people are unable to discern processed foods vs actual food, if they truly can't figure that a whole tomato is healthier than a can of tomato sauce well then.. then we're f-ed tbh.
Jacek Waliszewski I agree that is a great point but we can not underestimate the power we have as an individual by our purchases. If we stop buying these unhealthy products we will hit these companies where it matters to them. Progress is slow but look how much the grocery stores have changed. For example, you can actually find grass fed butter/meat.
Here from Netflix...
& chill
pill
Very well done! This deserves to have a lot more than the views it currently has!
This needs to be a mandatory view for ALL US school food service departments!
Yet people will continue to purchase their products...
+Cesar Camarillo switching away from a high sugar diet is not simple, your brain is addicted to it
i guess that depends on your priorities, where you live, what kind of time you have, and how good you are at using Google in between all of that to do your research. i lost my shit, for example, when i found out how much protein pumpkin seeds have per 100g. im a shit cook, but the only way to being a mediocre cook and then a good cook is to be a shit cook for a little while.
Cesar Camarillo We can not control what others do but we can change our purchasing habits. But this shows why education is so important.
maybe parents should educate themselves about nutrition and give a kid an apple sometimes. Are they mindless robots that the government needs to save from themselves? Nutrition info is widely available. Educate yourselves and make your own choices
Same parents who think taking the kid in for vaccination = death and discoloration? Yeah, right. No. Stupidity once set, you can hardly take it out even with a hot poker. Better to dig the bad plant out and slash the root.
What about parents who can't read? What about parents who get tricked by misleading advertisements? You seemed to have missed the entire point. Try using your brain and stop shilling.
If you can't read don't even have babies. We don't need any more idiots. We've got plenty of those. Who in USA can't read ffs?
Thank you for your bravery but mostly for helping us reach a better understanding of the is issue. Netflix brought me here. To be honest I am freaking out now, I need a MAJOR food make-over, I need to redo my eating lifestyle , I would like to influence my 15 year old so he can live a better healthier life.
this was brilliant! Thanks for the knowledge, and hope for more videos!
I don't care for your 'solutions' at all. Why can't people just turn their products around and read the label? Stop acting like people have no responsibility for what they buy. If I can look so can everyone shopping in a grocery store.
Targets kids? Parents make the purchases. Stop acting like consumers are zombies who have no control over their behavior.
Edit:
A response to the people saying "some people can't read"- *If they can't read the label then they can't read the advertisement.* Get a better argument.
+UncleMilton There are parents who cannot read. What do you say of the poor and uneducated who don't know better for their children? Consumer protection is not for the highly educated rich, but for those who cannot help themselves.
found the shill
+UncleMilton Your first mistake was assuming that people think
But we really are zombies.
+UncleMilton The food labels simply don't tell the whole story. The quantity of artificial sweeteners does not have to have to be listed. There's a lot of other exceptions but you get where I'm going. Processed foods simply take a LONG time to evaluate. Maybe you have a ton of time on your hands but I have to get through the grocery store relativity quickly. To which I'm sure you'll quaintly and dismissively reply with something as ignorant at: That's your problem. Why can't we have a simple label that DOES tell the whole story? It hasn't been updated in a long time.
AMEN, Dr. Freedhoff! Thank you for making this video!
Thanks for posting this, super legit and I hope more people see this.
Just discovered you on TVO! You are amazing Yoni! Please keep doing what you are doing! Thank you!!
Will do thanks
This presentation is amazing. Thank you for posting it on the internet because this is something that everyone must see.
Food cooked at home is the healthiest food.Today's life-style hardly allows any time for doing so. It is time we return to the ancient arrangement of sharing responsibilities, one earns for and the other cooks the 'bread'.My mom, aunts, grannies have never thought of making a professional career. They have all stayed at home, cooked fresh, healthy food 3-4 times a day, for whole family (most days 20-25 persons).I remember that buying processed or ready-to-eat food was a taboo. Grains, lentils, milk and vegetables were bought and cooked at home. Food industry benefits from this fad and our own in-capabilities.
+Gaurang Pandya My mom and dad were capable of doing both: Cooking and working. It's not about the time we don't have. It's about the time we don't use. (I Don't remember who said that, but it's true.) They maybe watched less TV (or youtube ;-) ) than other people and took that time to cook with fresh food. Later they taught my brother and me how to cook on our own. Nobody has to give up their dreams (e.g. a career) if you have a intelligent plan on how to master things.
But I agree with the rest of your argument.
You are right, Eva Schleva. In India, my parents and most of the other couples have had the 'distribution of work' concept. The males would work hard as bread earners and the females/ spouses would be home makers. I am pointing toward the currently prevalent 'no cooking at home' trend and the disadvantages of over dependence on outside ready to cook meals.
Wow Yoni - what a great presentation!
Thank you for sharing this with us Dr Freedhoff.
I can see why the conference sponsors decided they didn't want you there. lol Excellent video - all so very true.
Thank you for sticking your neck out for us by speaking out against the large corporations.
Thank you for sharing this information! Wow!
It will be a struggle, but one of the best things my parents did, was lead by example. During my youth I hated it, during my teens I hated it, but now I inherited their love for healthy and good food. Because of this I have never had to struggle with weight issues, and poor athleticism, which is one of the greatest gifts my parents gave me. And all it was, was their love and time.
Great video. Thank you very much for making it. People need to be made aware of what they are putting into themselves and make an educated decision whether or not that is what they want to eat, or put into their kids.
A great approach to pointing things out and hopefully making people think.
I am a nursing student and I just showed this to my instructor and class mates. I would also direct people to watch The Corporation and Food Inc
The great thing about public healthcare is that the government is paying for peoples medical bills. If they want to save money they are forced to try to increase the public health. Win-win.
Great video!
Thank you for making this and sharing it with us.
Fantastic slideshow & talk. Clearly the food industry don't want to be told what they already know - that they are encouraging our society into an abyss of obesity and bad health outcomes.
Keep up the good work!
Great video, actually got interesting enough to have me watch the whole thing.
I learned a long time ago that eating better is pretty simple: Don't buy premade stuff but make it yourself. Not only will you save a shit ton of money but you'll feel better.
I don't see any reason to protect people from themselves. Freedom is letting people live how they like; it's their responsibility to learn how to eat.
But I love this video because it is so educational. That is what we need: more food education not to turn our countries into North Korea.
comment for the yt algorithm. good video.
Thanks for creating and posting this video.
The reason I started to eat right was because of tiredness, stomach problems, constipation and the depression. Afterward, the hard part was educating myself. I taught my kids but they don't listen. They will when it all catches up to them.
Great video. As a consumer and father of four, I have struggled to over years to switch our diet from unhealthy processed foods to healthy unprocessed foods. Processed food manufacturers simply have no incentive to provide indicators about how bad the food can be for your body over a long period of time.
You are a great speaker! I happily support you, I really hope that you and I will live in a free world, where the human has equal standing and has say inside of the industry. Again, you are an awesome speaker, and I happily support you!
This is the most true thing I ever heard in my life thank you:)
Thank you. So nice to see someone brave enough to take a stand about our terrible food industry and all the disease it is causing. We can win this fight. Education is the key.
Very eye opening- thank you
We have shared your video on our company blog. Thank you. We found it to be a great presentation.
wonderful. thanks so much for sharing this!
BRILLIANT! Nigh on 4yrs 'old' and what have 'we' achieved??? More obesity, more cancer, more diabetes. More garbage mascarading as food. Nina Teicholz 'dis invited' to discussion on nutrition etc ... more action by us I guess
Amazing indeed. Neve knew this before. Thanks!
Keep going Yoni! People are listening to you!
I love this! Thanks for posting - i'm sending this to every Mom i know! Share it people! Lets stop the food industry and turn the corner on healthcare in the USA!
The issue with a legislative solution is taking away the freedom of choosing what you want to eat. I don't want taxes or restrictions on the food I like just because somebody else has decided I shouldn't be eating it.
Yes, the lying and bullshit in the food industry needs to stop, but so does thinking you have a right to control other peoples' diets.
Not really about controlling people's diets, but making people realise that the average 'American diet' is actually a load of horse shit.
and yet the lying and bullshit is how the food industry controls other peoples diets.
except we already are providing subsidies on corn (which is in most food products) and he isn't saying we should control that. He's saying to control advertising to kids, move the subsidies to healthy food and away from corn, and to put the label info on menus so that you can make well informed decisions
Erm, the government has been controlling your diets for ages. You think the food pyramid was invented by nutritionists?? :P that was ALL political. You think you have so much choice, but all those brands are owned by larger ones... theres only a few mega-brands you actually have access to when you go to the grocery store. If you don't grow/process food or store animals in the barbarically legislated way its done now, you cannot produce/provide options for choice. government is trying to make it so gmo's don't need to be labelled in NA and they are about to break into the EU market (a few years ago, EU said they'd never accept gmo's)
You want peoples diets to stop being controlled? So does the OP.
Well we don't need "bans" on food types - we need laws requiring food companies being factual and up front with their ingredients.
Great presentation, great movie as well.
Self discipline, true knowledge and giving a care = being healthier. Separating anyone and everyone from their bucks is the game. Good informative video to make the viewer aware.
Thank you for this great video!
Good to know! Thanks for the heads up!
Loved the content of this video and the portal reference at 9:13!
Good on you! Tell your friends and family, be strong and stand for what you believe.
I agree. Food industry also needs to be held accountable - everyone has a role to play and has a responsibility. If a car is sold and is unsafe - a recall is made. If a toy is sold and is made up of hazardous material, a recall is made. If food is sold that is loaded with sugar, salt and fat to enhance its addictive effect, and is killing millions prematurely with disease - it is not recalled, it is sold over and over again, in the name of profit.
Great presentation, no doubt you'll reach more people on here. Definitely got my attention.
great presentation, loved the portal poster lol,
I'm stunned a the speed at which empty and misdirecting arguments are being laid down. The astroturf in here is incredible. The arm of the industry that brought you those delightful "You know what they say about HFCS....... *blank stare*" commercials are back in full force this morning. You 'turfers are really working hard to earn your eight cents per post. Keep fighting the paid fight.
I love your passion and totally agree advertising claims made by food companies should be truthful and legislated. However, the most important thing in our quest for a healthier public is not watchdogging these advertisements, it is educating the public. You see, the real implication in "the food industry is a business" is that businesses make what sell. If we all only bought healthy items, thats what would be in the store. It is our demand as consumers that drives the items in a grocery store.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your time and effort...
Education is the first step. Becoming aware of what we consume is invaluable, as we can raise the next generation with this knowledge. Theoretically, this will lead to a governing body that can best serve and protect its people.
Without getting to far into it, we must separate money from politics. Food corporations are only allowed the ability to misinform people due to influence in law (lobbying politicians/those with position to change/create law).
MOTHER OF GOD. I didn't even realize until you said this.
Food is something everyone needs to live. How it is packaged, what it contains and how available it is, is a matter of life or death. Make the healthier stuff more accessible and affordable, and the unhealthy stuff (which nobody needs, really) less so. This is what is necessary for a healthy life.
Thank You,
Well said!
Finally some intelligent discussion around this issue. Future generations will look back at our golden age of obesity and wonder why we allowed the food industry to market hyper palatable cheap calories to our children.
Wonderful!
Thank you for this, just found out I'm not actually avoiding added sugars in my fruit juice, despite the label claiming as much. It's probably high fructose corn syrup too! :(
Very nice information... I agree in your proposals. In Germany we've same problem with the sugar and food industries! Time to change but ... they're soooo mighty!
Thanks - nice work.
