The whole point of this particular video is to dispel misconceptions about food, people, and nutrition.
Children are obese and developing diabetes younger and younger (we knew this).
Fat/obesity aren't new, but those being the norm is relatively new.
Exercise and eating right aren't the answer to most peoples' weight problems. It just doesn't work. If they work off the weight, it all comes back to them because it simply doesn't work.
A calorie is not a calorie. What you put in is not what working off will take out.
Some fast food is more calories than you should eat in an entire day.
Part of the problem is that we don't do PE as children anymore. As you get older, activity steadily declines.
This is a worldwide issue, the obesity and bad food.
Many foods took out the fat, during the fat-free diet phase, and replaced it with sugar. They never did change things back, and they're still awful for you.
Those foods are the only ones the underprivileged have to choose from. If you can't afford to eat right, what choice do you have?
The only part of our bodies that can process fructose is our liver. Every cell and organ in our bodies can process glucose. So of course we're overloading our livers on fructose.
Soda is about as bad as beer (beer belly, soda belly) as far as what's in it and what that'll do to you.
The sugar is an addiction. We go through withdrawal.
Exercise is not important because it burns calories.
It is important because it improves your body's muscle insulin productivity, reduces stress, improves liver metabolism.
Fiber is important in that it slows down digestion, gives the organs time to process whatever we're giving them.
It's hard to win a war we barely know we're fighting (against food companies).
