I strongly agree with the "fake isn't necessarily bad" point. Compound chocolate gets a bad reputation because it's "fake", but I sometimes intentionally seek it out over "real" chocolate because it's so much easier to deal with because it doesn't need to be tempered. Similarly, margarine is easier to use than butter without warning up. Coffee mate can keep longer than dairy creamers, etc. Food substitutes are sometimes okay, as long as you know what you're getting.
same with "fake" american cheese. it's still mostly cheese (~80% iirc) i don't like it in its solid form, but i prefer it over pure cheese to melt into casseroles or things like that
@@DragoNate we keep butter in the fridge here, and pure butter isn't spreadable on toast at fridge temperature, unlike butter mixed with vegetable oil.
@@InedibleMuffin I keep my butter in the fridge as well. Of course right out of the fridge, it can't be spread, but if you have toast, you cut a piece, put it on the warm toast and it becomes spreadable. Nearly every other use requires a chunk of butter going in/on something that's warm so it melts. Unless you're baking and making a dough with it, which just requires the butter be sitting out for a bit, like while you're prepping everything else.
@@sebaschan-uwu what if the fake stuff tastes better to me? neither the real nor fake varieties are healthy anyway and neither are harmful in moderation.
This! Margarine has its uses! So does butter! Do not confuse the two!!! You will get wildly different results oftentimes. Don't get me started on margarine that's mostly cream. I always used to buy the same brand of margarine so I never knew some of them were basically just butter with more Vega table oil. Made a recipe with it. Did NOT turn out well. Sticking to my preferred brand forever now. I have no use for "margarine" that has the SAME PROPERTIES AS BUTTER. I have butter at home, darn it.
Oils are bad when they burn, because they oxidize and we don't want those carcinogens in our body.

@@zachm241my guy, stop capping. Margarine does not have butter. Margarine is by definition, a hydrolyzed vegetable oil. Spreadable butter has fluid-at-cool-temperatures vegetable oil in it to make it spreadable.
@@zachm241exactly what is whipped milk? never heard such a thing. whipped coconut cream is more viable than whipped milk. if something is 90 percent oil,it's not dairy. your dairy allergies don't mean that people who aren't specifically avoiding dairy proteins or sugars should be misled into buying cheapo substitutes. you're conflating saying things made out of vegetable oil with the claim "dairy free". whipped oil with milk added is not "whipped milk" and it's not whipped cream.
The worst is when people erroneously think these fake products are better than the real thing. As a consumer, it is so important to read the labels and understand what you're buying.
"Have you ever done cybersecurity training where they teach you to ignore the subdomain of a URL to know if a website is a website substitute made out of vegetable oils?"
I can’t believe it’s not butter lite doesn’t have dairy, though. I thought it was funny when they came out with a new vegan product when the lite version already was.
I found this out when I was buying margarine for a recipe. I'd always bought the same brand before so I didn't realize some of them had wildly different properties. I needed the margarine to stay liquid at room temperature. The convenience store didn't have my usual brand. Believe me when I say the recipe did not turn out well when the margarine solidified within 10 minutes after melting it 😭. So gross. If I wanted butter, I would have bought butter!!! I needed margarine for its specific properties. I HAVE butter at home. I don't need "mostly still butter, but now with 60% more vegetable oil"
Very important to note: not all margarine is without any dairy product. If you're lactose intolerant or have a dairy allergy, still always check the packaging before buying/using
honestly that one was surprising to me that he mentioned, because I thought that was... clear? Like Magarine was developed for the express purpose that some people need those fats for the every day life but need a substitute for butter. (technically there is also lard i suppose)
@@Mirro18 I'd have thought so too! I typically buy margarine because it's cheaper and a little bit better for your heart (it's still pure fat but vegetable fats are better for most people than animal fats). There's also a lot of margarines with a stronger buttery flavor than butter so if you're using it to taste like butter you can often do better than the real thing lol.
@@0293Sarah That's not what scientific studies have found. People who consumed the same types of fat from vegetable sources had a lower likelihood of fat-related health problems than people who consumed from animal sources.
The reason vegetable fats are better for the heart is because it’s unsaturated fats, whereas fat from most animal products is saturated fat. Saturated fats can lead to build up of cholesterol and calcium in the veins which can lead to blood cloths. Saturated fats have a negative impacts on cholesterol levels, which has a negative impact on the heart. Saturated fats aren’t evil, but nothing is good for the body if you consume too much of it.
Ideally the marketer should cater to the needs of the consumer. Unfortunately, with companies trying to increase their sales infinitely, marketing starts becoming more and more unethical
The thing is the marketers are catering to consumers. Just not in ways consumers think they want. People want to be lied to. They want to be told that eating an entire package of chips isn't that many calories or that the cheap options is basically the same as the expensive even when it isn't. Sure it's not good for the consumer but when have the masses made choices that are good for themselves more readily than choices that feel better

"Always check the labels, some 'fake' products are actually better for you"
I still laugh when i remember the time i saw a bottle of syrup at the store that says “maple syrup”. On closer inspection, it says “maple flavored syrup” but the word “flavored” is so tiny
With real vanilla Reads: vanilla extract. If it was vanilla it would just say "vanilla" You lied in your face by adding the "real vanilla" compared to "vanilla" which are two different products.
@@robertagren9360 ???? Do you mean imitation vanilla which is caramel color, corn syrup, and artificial flavors? Because vanilla if used in goods is going to be extract, it's just vanilla soaked in liquor and when cooked you burn out the alcohol taste. Do not use extract in homemade ice cream though. Make a dilution of vanilla bean/mint/strawberry puree in cream and strain. Unless you heat the ice cream mixture the extract will taint your food.
@ahkira1041 looked it up, it's just chicken breast instead of chicken wings. it's still meat but they act like the meat not coming from the wings but from the breast is special somehow.
Lol this just reminded me of the time my coworker wrote "WANGZ" on the wings label and our boss legitimately thought he just didn't know how to spell wings and for years after that every time some argument ensued he'd be like 'don't listen to this guy he can't even spell wings.. WANGZZ' Wings are now exclusively referred to as WANGZ and nobody we currently work with has any clue why lol
No all the information is there, you just have to read it. We have terms like "Frozen Dairy Dessert" all of the other information such as ingredients, weights, place of origin due to the Fair Packaging and Labeling act of 1967. Our Food Regulations are straight up in the Code of Federal Regulations chapter 21, CFR 21, free and easy to access online.
@@elguapo1991 No, stealing personal information is the *result* but it's the specific act of creating a fake email that looks like a legit email, or creating a fake website that looks like a legit website, which we describe as "phishing". If you go to a store, pretend to be the cashier and trick someone into giving you their credit info, that act successfully results in "stealing personal information through trickery" but it is 100% NOT phishing. That scam in fact has a whole-ass other name. So the next time you feel the need to be pedantic about something, make sure you're right first.
Except it shouldn't be called food. They have basically no nutrients and are designed to addict you. When you eat them you fatten yourself while becoming hungrier and less healthy.
Most people dont pay attention to packaging info. The product name, as you said, ingredients, price, amount/mass. Thats my favorite: When people show something that doesnt fill the container. "They ripped me off! Look at all this empty space! How was I supposed to know?!" It says the quantity and the mass down to the gram. That's how.
A personal favorite is fruit juice vs. fruit drink. They're mostly the same thing, except with the "fruit drink" you're paying full price for the up to 70% water it was diluted with.
Sometimes “fruit drink” has no actual fruit juice at all. When I was a kid a big treat was if my mom bought this jug of store brand “orange drink”. It was basically orange soda without the carbonation. I think now the same product is called “orange punch drink” or something like that.
@@Annie_Annie__I mean, even "real Florida orange juice" is reconstituted from sludge by adding sugar and dye and orange flavoring so it looks and tastes how we expect it to. Sure, there's real juice concentrate on there, but that's not what's giving it flavor. It's just logistically a huge pain to make a bottle of raw juice keep stable for shipping etc. So they have to process it to hell and back to the point that it only technically counts anymore.
EXACTLY! Consumer protections in the US require companies to list their products as what they actually are. They will try to pass it off as the same product as another, but all it takes is a little bit of investigating. Just remember, if it isn't what you're looking for, IT ISN'T WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!!!
It makes me extra annoyed because I use it ro make my whipped cream & I was feeling so good at myself for not using the fake shit made out of oils he has there.
One thing to add, in the case of "frozen dairy desserts", the reason they cannot call it icecream is not because it's fake dairy or additives, it's the milkfat percentage. Icecream needs to be 10% milkfat, otherwise its not a cream. (It's easentially the fatty part of milk. Same number you see on 1 or 2% milk, and for reference, milk straight from the utter is typically 3.25%). So anything less is just frozen dairy. Mainly done for consistency.
It's important for shoppers to be informed. Because of these misleading labels, I've missed out on food items I thought I had to stop eating once I learned that I deal with intolerances. It took me SO LONG to realize I can have most of the creamers I like because they're actually all non-dairy. However, people who don't know what they're buying think they're getting dairy that they wanted when it's oils substitute instead. It's a bad practice all around, for people who would actively seek these out for health or religious reasons, AND for people who don't realize what they're eating.

Margarine is a butter substitute for people living in tropical climates. The ambient temperatures causes butter to melt, and putting it in the fridge freezes it. Margarine stays spreadable in room temp. That’s literally why it was made

Im not a vegan so pardon my ignorance, but aint it that vegans in general consume milk? And those that dont consume milk are a subtype of vegan that I forgot the name of.
So does Cool Whip, and most margarines. Having grown up with dietary restrictions, it boggles my mind every time I get "oh, we know you can't have dairy so we made sure to use margarine", and it's just a regular, dairy-containing margarine. It's not that I expect people to automatically know, it's that the extent to which people don't check the ingredients is foreign to me.
Reminds me of a college friend who was home for Passover and let it slip that she thought that Bacon Bits tasted like the real thing. Her mother shot her a look that said both "How do you know?" and "Don't say anything more right now".
Margarine is even worse. Unless the US food code says otherwise, it's a mix between veg and animal fat, artificially saturated to get a butter-like consistency
U earned a sub. Usually, if someone pops up on my fyp more than 3 times, and all are good, then I like and sub. This is the first short I watched. Keep it up, my guy
"non dairy creamers" usually contain dairy components (casein) though which makes them dangerous to those with dairy intolerances and allergies but, because of weird food legalese they use the term "non dairy" to describe the product. Cool whip use to have no dairy in it but, the recipe changed and now it does. Most margarine brands contain dairy as well.
So you're saying non-dairy creamers should be labelled as dairy, then? And then people like you are gonna complain that it's not really dairy. Having a component doesn't make it dairy. They are being truthful that it isn't. That's like saying milk has water, therefore anything with water is dairy. Fyi, people with diary intolerance can't have lactose, not casein.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme lol not only lactose intolerant people exist casein will cause problems for people with dairy allergies casein is a protein found in dairy milk and people can be intolerant to it as well. But it's not you getting sick so you don't care which is fine.
My first job was at a movie theater and we were told to ask people if they wanted "buttery topping" as opposed to "butter" on their popcorn because it was in fact hydrogenated soybean oil.
This is a great video. Having said that, I want to warn you and your viewers. I was working as an engineer on a ship in the '90s. The galley cook was asking everyone in the dinner line if they had a seafood or shellfish allergy before he served them. He let us know that, "imitation crab," will often still contain the dangerous allergens. It is imitation to cut costs. But it will still often have some of the real to give it the base flavor. Never risk the health with, "imitation," products, if you or your meal guests have known allergies. I've never forgotten his warnings.
@@M23jsthe comment was probably to say that imitation crab still has seafood so it might still contain allergens. It really depends on whether a person has a shell fish allergy or a seafood allergy. However like someone said there are other potential allergens like gluten, wheat etc. people with allergies need to know specifics of both their allergies AND the ingredients in the food they eat. My granddaughter has a ton of allergies and my daughter does deep dives in all the foods they eat.
Another fun one is moose tracks, which is actually a branded flavor of ice cream. So whenever you see a local ice cream place selling "moose trax" it's bc they're actually rebels 😎
It's really important to note that coffemate has dairy proteins in it, so it is NOT vegan. They can legally call it "non dairy" because there's no lactose. But it is NOT dairy free.
"maple flavoured syrup" instead of "maple syrup" it is usually pretty easy to pick it because the proper syrup comes in a glass bottle and the maple flavoured syrup comes in plastic and is a lot cheaper.
I worked at Walmart and people would leave frozen “dairy” products on the shelves in different parts of the store and when they “melted” it wasn’t a puddle of cream and sugar that came out. It was a gel like substance that oozed. It didn’t ooze far, just enough to make a mess. But the product would be warm. So disgusting!
There's only a few products that I care if I'm getting the "real" thing or not. I've been burned by "chocolate flavored candy" one too many times that I always make sure I'm getting actual chocolate

I insist on using real vanilla extract in my baking. I can taste a difference, especially in vanilla flavored baked goods (of course lol). My sister goes to Mexico almost yearly and brings me back a three pack of Mexican vanilla extract as my gift each time. Usually lasts me until her next trip- I measure it with my heart. Haha! 😅
Same thing is true for "lite" foods. They spell it that way because actually saying "light" would be false advertising and they could be sued for it. Those foods are honestly not much better then the non-lite ones.
"Lite" usually means less fat and more sugar. Taken as an average and rounding to the nearest whole number, I can think of zero instances where that would be better.
@@Ohdeerohman My experience has been that cutting sugar and carbs to the bone and eating fats instead is fantastic for weight loss. The full reasoning is a little complicated, but the short version is that carbs and especially sugar create a hunger response more quickly than an equal calorie load of fats or proteins. That makes it harder to maintain the calorie deficit you need to lose weight, because being hungry will increase the chances of snacking, eating bigger subsequent meals, etc. So for example, if I'm having a salad, lite dressing will leave me hungry again HOURS sooner, out of proportion to the calories saved. Depending on your genetics, that might be a trivial difference, or it could be colossal. For myself and everyone in my family, it's a colossal difference. I suspect that most people who struggle with weight loss are the ones who this makes a difference for. People who can eat simple carbs and not get hungry again don't really have a reason to get fat in the first place. I know a guy who is like that. He can only gain weight if he eats to the point where it hurts, and then loses weight if he just stops doing that. Dude never gets hungry no matter what he eats. Fat people usually aren't like that, so controlling the hunger response is valuable. For myself, even fruit and whole grains tend to put my body in "burn sugar, store fat for hibernation, get hungry once the sugar is gone" mode. I recommend watching a documentary called "That Sugar Film," which is here on CZcams. It's kind of like SuperSize Me, except the guy eats the average Australian's sugar intake all in the form of healthy-marketed low-fat foods like yogurt, fruit juices, "lite" products, etc. No soda or junk food or fast food. Dude got wrecked just as bad as the SuperSize Me guy.
Pay attention in the butter section, people. Check the ingredients. You'll probably be amazed. You'll probably also end up buying some actual butter for once.
Honey is almost never real at fast food places. Notice it's usually honey sauce or honey dip; typically mostly composed of HFCS and occasionally a bit of honey.
I was so annoyed when I found out Cracker Barrel's 100% pure maple syrup is only 40% maple syrup - the rest was corn syrup. Somehow get away with it as it is all 'syrup'.
My mom once bought a big glass jar of "honey" back when i was a child. I liked it more than actual honey. Now i know it's 99% sugar syrup and 1%...mystery.
I've been doing this for YEARS. I use KFC to explain it though. Honey SAUCE is not honey. Buttery Spread is not butter. They get sneaky but once you see it, it pops out more.
Yes, but in many countries, if it's called honey sauce, it does contain honey. It's easy with internationally sold things. For example if you look at Germany, Bud light can't be sold there as Budweiser or even beer. The company doesn't have a legal right to the brand in most of the world as it belongs to different Czech company and Germany respects that, plus it can't be even called a beer as it is made out of fermented rice, which Germany doesn't recognize as beer ingredient.
why and HOW did ANYONE think otherwise?? I'm actually shocked anyone in the world didn't realize this simply by the manner language was used... if it WAS honey, it would say honey, and even then, if it's at all not LIKE honey in texture, taste, or appearance, then it's probably NOT honey. Seems INCREDIBLY obvious.
@@AmandaLovesOldFordsyeah, I'm sure most "syrup" you've ever put in pancakes in no way originated in a tree like make syrup either... again, pretty obvious when actual maple syrup is 5X the cost... but who tf cares? Honey or not, make syrup or not, if anything your eating is super sweet, it's filled with sugar and calories and not "healthy" either way, so what's the difference? Easy a variety of foods, mostly plants. Anything that tastes "good" is probably high in calories. But unless you're trying to lose weight, that also doesn't really matter.
I am also happy that I live in a Country that doesn’t even allow Oats and Soy water to call itself milk :D Where there is real beer and anything else is a Beer Mixed Drink. Also our language focuses on the ‚End‘ of a word which is usually just a precise description.
Margarine (at least the traditional one) is not just vegetable oil as is, it's processed vegetable oil to make it solid at room temperature which also adds trans fat - something you definitely don't want to consume.
Love that you made this a video about knowledge instead of shaming those who enjoy those food items anyways with/without knowing the specifics about what they are! Great video!

As someone who has a dairy allergy, I am very grateful that those alternatives exist. I didn't always feel left out in food choice because of these items.
To be fair, if you have a dairy allergy, you cannot have coffee mate. Even though it says "non-dairy", it still has milk protein from real milk, and it absolutely is dairy.
Frozen dairy dessert is the label companies use to get away with putting more air in their ice cream, since actual ice cream needs a particular ratio of air to cream. That's still basically ice cream, it's not like they're hiding vegetables in there
I found this out in Mexico where the term ice cream isn't regulated and you have to search high and low to find an ice cream (or any dairy product really) that isn't milk solids and vegetable fat.
Very thankful that in the US we have enough horrifically obese people (like me) that it warrants ice cream being as heavily regulated as EU protected foods
I was going to mention that about Mexico. Even most of the milk has vegetable oils in it. I have to look at the ingredients to make sure I'm getting the real stuff. It's rediculous how many products sold in Mexico are fake.
I became lactose intolerant in my teens and clearly-labeled vegan options were not as widely available in the late ‘90s. Those mainstream foods mentioned here were a great in-between option until I could afford something more healthy. To me, those words were telling me I could eat them without having flu-like symptoms for a week.
I'm actually allergic to vegetable oil. You sir just made me fully aware of certain things that I've been eating on the regular and have left me wondering if a couple of things have just been me having a constant allergic reaction.
That sucks since they have a half-life of 680 days in the body. Don't know what it's like for phytochemicals in the oils. But maybe you could kind of purge that stuff if you do fasting?
@@fotoschopro1230 I physically can not do any sort of fasting with the way my health is. That will just straight up send me to the hospital. Besides, this is a full blown allergy. I don't think fasting is going to suddenly make my body stop trying to destroy itself the moment a bit of vegetable oil enters my system.
I brought home some generic cool whip one day and shared amazement that it was lactose free. My wife casually commented, “Most non-dairy whipped toppings are.” It’s the noun thing that you just shared. It wasn’t cream that was whipped; it was a topping.
Crazier thing is to look at how much vegetable oils there are in things... And how vegetable oil only started being sold as a food product about 100 years ago. And how much worse our populations health has gotten in the same 100 years, despite the rapid improvement in healthcare in the same time span. It's not the only contributing factor, but definitely a big one

Most margarine also contains milk products. If you want real then go with "plant butter"
"I Can't Believe Its Not Butter" is LITERALLY 30% BUTTER.
I can’t believe it’s not butter lite doesn’t have dairy, though. I thought it was funny when they came out with a new vegan product when the lite version already was.
I found this out when I was buying margarine for a recipe. I'd always bought the same brand before so I didn't realize some of them had wildly different properties.
I needed the margarine to stay liquid at room temperature. The convenience store didn't have my usual brand. Believe me when I say the recipe did not turn out well when the margarine solidified within 10 minutes after melting it 😭. So gross.
If I wanted butter, I would have bought butter!!! I needed margarine for its specific properties. I HAVE butter at home. I don't need "mostly still butter, but now with 60% more vegetable oil"
Screw whatever the F "plant butter" is. Real butter comes from cows.
I’m an information security officer, and brother, your analogy about subdomains is spot on! I’m going to use the inverse of your example.
Very important to note: not all margarine is without any dairy product. If you're lactose intolerant or have a dairy allergy, still always check the packaging before buying/using
honestly that one was surprising to me that he mentioned, because I thought that was... clear? Like Magarine was developed for the express purpose that some people need those fats for the every day life but need a substitute for butter. (technically there is also lard i suppose)
@@Mirro18 I'd have thought so too! I typically buy margarine because it's cheaper and a little bit better for your heart (it's still pure fat but vegetable fats are better for most people than animal fats). There's also a lot of margarines with a stronger buttery flavor than butter so if you're using it to taste like butter you can often do better than the real thing lol.
@@MorganChaos those vegetable fats are in no way better for your heart or body. They're so inflammatory
@@0293Sarah That's not what scientific studies have found. People who consumed the same types of fat from vegetable sources had a lower likelihood of fat-related health problems than people who consumed from animal sources.
The reason vegetable fats are better for the heart is because it’s unsaturated fats, whereas fat from most animal products is saturated fat. Saturated fats can lead to build up of cholesterol and calcium in the veins which can lead to blood cloths. Saturated fats have a negative impacts on cholesterol levels, which has a negative impact on the heart. Saturated fats aren’t evil, but nothing is good for the body if you consume too much of it.
thus the eternal war between the marketer and the consumer continues...
“But it wasn’t always like this”
Ideally the marketer should cater to the needs of the consumer. Unfortunately, with companies trying to increase their sales infinitely, marketing starts becoming more and more unethical
The thing is the marketers are catering to consumers. Just not in ways consumers think they want. People want to be lied to. They want to be told that eating an entire package of chips isn't that many calories or that the cheap options is basically the same as the expensive even when it isn't.
Sure it's not good for the consumer but when have the masses made choices that are good for themselves more readily than choices that feel better

Do you mean imitation vanilla which is caramel color, corn syrup, and artificial flavors?

Phishing is when you attempt to steal personal information through trickery, so that doesnt really apply here.
No all the information is there, you just have to read it. We have terms like "Frozen Dairy Dessert" all of the other information such as ingredients, weights, place of origin due to the Fair Packaging and Labeling act of 1967.
Our Food Regulations are straight up in the Code of Federal Regulations chapter 21, CFR 21, free and easy to access online.

Wisconsin used to have laws that margarine could not be colored to look like butter. So margarine was white in color.
Most people dont pay attention to packaging info. The product name, as you said, ingredients, price, amount/mass. Thats my favorite: When people show something that doesnt fill the container. "They ripped me off! Look at all this empty space! How was I supposed to know?!" It says the quantity and the mass down to the gram. That's how.
A personal favorite is fruit juice vs. fruit drink. They're mostly the same thing, except with the "fruit drink" you're paying full price for the up to 70% water it was diluted with.
Don't forget the cheap concentrate and additions to make it taste like fruit (but it's not really).
Sometimes “fruit drink” has no actual fruit juice at all.
When I was a kid a big treat was if my mom bought this jug of store brand “orange drink”.
It was basically orange soda without the carbonation.

@@Annie_Annie__I mean, even "real Florida orange juice" is reconstituted from sludge by adding sugar and dye and orange flavoring so it looks and tastes how we expect it to. Sure, there's real juice concentrate on there, but that's not what's giving it flavor.

It's vegetable oil.. ITS ALL VEGETABLE OILS
One thing to add, in the case of "frozen dairy desserts", the reason they cannot call it icecream is not because it's fake dairy or additives, it's the milkfat percentage.
Icecream needs to be 10% milkfat, otherwise its not a cream. (It's easentially the fatty part of milk. Same number you see on 1 or 2% milk, and for reference, milk straight from the utter is typically 3.25%). So anything less is just frozen dairy. Mainly done for consistency.
It's important for shoppers to be informed. Because of these misleading labels, I've missed out on food items I thought I had to stop eating once I learned that I deal with intolerances. It took me SO LONG to realize I can have most of the creamers I like because they're actually all non-dairy. However, people who don't know what they're buying think they're getting dairy that they wanted when it's oils substitute instead. It's a bad practice all around, for people who would actively seek these out for health or religious reasons, AND for people who don't realize what they're eating.

@@JETZcorp what about for weight loss?
@@Ohdeerohman My experience has been that cutting sugar and carbs to the bone and eating fats instead is fantastic for weight loss. The full reasoning is a little complicated, but the short version is that carbs and especially sugar create a hunger response more quickly than an equal calorie load of fats or proteins. That makes it harder to maintain the calorie deficit you need to lose weight, because being hungry will increase the chances of snacking, eating bigger subsequent meals, etc. So for example, if I'm having a salad, lite dressing will leave me hungry again HOURS sooner, out of proportion to the calories saved.
Depending on your genetics, that might be a trivial difference, or it could be colossal. For myself and everyone in my family, it's a colossal difference. I suspect that most people who struggle with weight loss are the ones who this makes a difference for. People who can eat simple carbs and not get hungry again don't really have a reason to get fat in the first place. I know a guy who is like that. He can only gain weight if he eats to the point where it hurts, and then loses weight if he just stops doing that. Dude never gets hungry no matter what he eats. Fat people usually aren't like that, so controlling the hunger response is valuable. For myself, even fruit and whole grains tend to put my body in "burn sugar, store fat for hibernation, get hungry once the sugar is gone" mode.
I recommend watching a documentary called "That Sugar Film," which is here on CZcams. It's kind of like SuperSize Me, except the guy eats the average Australian's sugar intake all in the form of healthy-marketed low-fat foods like yogurt, fruit juices, "lite" products, etc. No soda or junk food or fast food. Dude got wrecked just as bad as the SuperSize Me guy.

I've been doing this for YEARS. I use KFC to explain it though. Honey SAUCE is not honey. Buttery Spread is not butter. They get sneaky but once you see it, it pops out more.
Yes, but in many countries, if it's called honey sauce, it does contain honey. It's easy with internationally sold things. For example if you look at Germany, Bud light can't be sold there as Budweiser or even beer. The company doesn't have a legal right to the brand in most of the world as it belongs to different Czech company and Germany respects that, plus it can't be even called a beer as it is made out of fermented rice, which Germany doesn't recognize as beer ingredient.
I knew they had "buttery spread" but was shocked about the fake honey packets when I first got one.

Easy a variety of foods, mostly plants. Anything that tastes "good" is probably high in calories. But unless you're trying to lose weight, that also doesn't really matter.
I am also happy that I live in a Country that doesn’t even allow Oats and Soy water to call itself milk :D
Where there is real beer and anything else is a Beer Mixed Drink. Also our language focuses on the ‚End‘ of a word which is usually just a precise description.
Margarine (at least the traditional one) is not just vegetable oil as is, it's processed vegetable oil to make it solid at room temperature which also adds trans fat - something you definitely don't want to consume.
Love that you made this a video about knowledge instead of shaming those who enjoy those food items anyways with/without knowing the specifics about what they are! Great video!
As a vegan and cybersecurity specialist... Holy moly, that analogy with domains was SPOT ON. 👌 Edit: so that's how it feels to be the target audience hmmm.
Cool
we found the one person this short was aimed at
@@XxXMrSisterFisterXxX every now and then we receive confirmation that we’re all just side characters in someone else’s film…
We’re all just secondary or background characters, and they’re the main characters!
And it’s truly astounding how not all vegans are the main characters - but all main characters do seem to be vegan… 🤔
They especially love making sure all of us background nobodies are aware of that.
@@mason96575 My dude, u okay?
Wow, target audience reached
This all could be summed up with “read the ingredients and learn what they mean.” Food is a fascinating science.
As someone who has a dairy allergy, I am very grateful that those alternatives exist. I didn't always feel left out in food choice because of these items.
To be fair, if you have a dairy allergy, you cannot have coffee mate. Even though it says "non-dairy", it still has milk protein from real milk, and it absolutely is dairy.
@@kevinlewis8736 I drink coffee black 😉
Alternate video title: A bunch of food stuff you already know and something you didn't know about cybersecurity.
You probably should have already known it, it’s normally a part of that “social media/computer safety” section of your onboarding.
Made with real cheese.
In other words, cheese watched the whole process of making fake cheese.
I'm so glad that it's illegal to call things that are not milk or cheese by those names.
Frozen dairy dessert is the label companies use to get away with putting more air in their ice cream, since actual ice cream needs a particular ratio of air to cream. That's still basically ice cream, it's not like they're hiding vegetables in there
I love how you bring up Cybersecurity training as if most people know what a domain is 😂
well most office people should have done cybersecurity training, altho i'm p sure most of them also cheated haha
I found this out in Mexico where the term ice cream isn't regulated and you have to search high and low to find an ice cream (or any dairy product really) that isn't milk solids and vegetable fat.
Very thankful that in the US we have enough horrifically obese people (like me) that it warrants ice cream being as heavily regulated as EU protected foods
At that point I'd just own a cow. I can't consume plant oils as I get very ill from them.
I was going to mention that about Mexico. Even most of the milk has vegetable oils in it. I have to look at the ingredients to make sure I'm getting the real stuff. It's rediculous how many products sold in Mexico are fake.
@@LycanFerret They're around, you just have to know where to look
I became lactose intolerant in my teens and clearly-labeled vegan options were not as widely available in the late ‘90s. Those mainstream foods mentioned here were a great in-between option until I could afford something more healthy. To me, those words were telling me I could eat them without having flu-like symptoms for a week.
100% facts. As an advertising major, I've been screaming this for years. I hate Cool Whip with a violent passion.
I'm actually allergic to vegetable oil. You sir just made me fully aware of certain things that I've been eating on the regular and have left me wondering if a couple of things have just been me having a constant allergic reaction.
That sucks since they have a half-life of 680 days in the body.
Don't know what it's like for phytochemicals in the oils.
But maybe you could kind of purge that stuff if you do fasting?
@@fotoschopro1230that sounds like really bad advice 😔
@@mega-egg5808 Why? People on elimination diets often take some time before issues stop.
@@fotoschopro1230 I physically can not do any sort of fasting with the way my health is. That will just straight up send me to the hospital. Besides, this is a full blown allergy. I don't think fasting is going to suddenly make my body stop trying to destroy itself the moment a bit of vegetable oil enters my system.
@@hatsanddragons4722 That sucks, I guess.
Hope you get better.
I brought home some generic cool whip one day and shared amazement that it was lactose free. My wife casually commented, “Most non-dairy whipped toppings are.”
It’s the noun thing that you just shared. It wasn’t cream that was whipped; it was a topping.
Crazier thing is to look at how much vegetable oils there are in things...
And how vegetable oil only started being sold as a food product about 100 years ago.
And how much worse our populations health has gotten in the same 100 years, despite the rapid improvement in healthcare in the same time span.
It's not the only contributing factor, but definitely a big one
Makes me sad to know cool whip is made of vegetable oil. Never knew that.
Bacon bits are often crispy soy bits and i love them.
Some bacon bits are literally bacon. The kind he is talking about are always labeled as artifical bacon so it's easy to skip that since it's clearly stated. Also who would trust shelf stable bacon that does not need refrigerated after opening
@@JayDuuubbPeople that know that jerky has existed for hundreds of years.
@@JayDuuubbthey actually sell "real bacon bits" that are shelf stable until you open them.
@@AmandaLovesOldFords I meant after it's been opened but didn't write that. Since the fake ones don't need refrigeration at all
