Synopsis:
In 2015, the WHO listed one of the additives in processed meats as carcinogenic. That same additive was nearly banned in America in the 1970s - until lobbying from the meat industry discredited the scientists. We reveal how, to impede or halt regulations on certain additives, lobbyists have been working in the shadows for decades.
At the heart of this strategy are the scientists who collaborate, who receive generous compensation for studies that promote meat consumption. In conjunction with this, those whose work finds health risks associated with meat are ‘shot down’.
From Brittany to Denmark, through California and Wisconsin, director Sandrine Rigaud conducted a year-long investigation on the tactics of the meat industry.
Reviews:
"This documentary on its own provides a lot of good information related to the declining health of our society and also info about the little-known, secretive mechanisms, industry influencers and disnformation propagators of the meat industry. A must watch for those interested in health. This, along with some other great health documentaries on Prime, illuminate a disturbing picture of declining American health and provide good suggestions for a way forward and fixing it all. Five stars."

WE NEED TO GET RID OF LOBBYISTS……ESPECIALLY IN the food industry, pharmaceutical industry and politics in general! 😡😡😡
Vote to overturn Citizens United, this way we get rid of “lobbying,” another way to call bribery. There are many things we can do. Call your representatives to the Capitol switchboard, is there for us, ask them for example to clean the FDA. Subscribe to a free newsletter to an organic consumers organization to tell you what to do. Support your local organic farmers any time you can, educate yourself about nutrition from doctors who are exponent of eating whole foods.
Never going to happen Lobbyists have millions of dollars to get politicians to change their minds and it doesn’t what party it is they are trying to convince
Ils sont tres Slippery
I agree and it should be an honor to serve our country. They should not be allowed any money besides their pay.
@@AnastaciaKc why not ? They are sales professionals to sell a product for the good of the American 🇺🇸 consumer
We as consumers have the power to make a stand. We need to stop buying all of this processed foods and eat wholesome foods
The only problem is time. I used to not understand why people couldn’t just cook everything but now with a more demanding job, I need both time and energy to cook…cuz I don’t have anyone to do it for me and I share the kitchen with a roommate who has a completely different diet. So yeah it’s more complicated for people who are in harder situations than me.
Go vegan
The non educated wont
@@LoreDeluge yes, I do agree, it's up to us if we want to learn to better ourselves or to stay in the dark and continue to make the same mistakes. Then there's just plan common sense which unfortunately not too many have
@@davidformosa7626 I don''t think so!!
I'm so glad I stopped buying overly processed foods. My health has improved considerably. These corporations are killing people and getting paid to do it.
Just like the cigarette industry, they are happy to kill you as long as the shareholders get paid.....
Worse yet it’s the victims of the poison who pay to be poisoned for profit
Factory-Farmed animals are the worst and gov funded, plant based organic crops are not
Corruption is everywhere. Even in the most developed countries in the world its just how hidden it really is and this documentary really does do a great job of showing this.
The developed countries are too busy accusing others of corruption. Even the public points fingers.
Which is legalised? 'Kickback or Commission'...for a few dollars more! "Money! Money! Money! It's a rich man's world.
ESPECIALLY in USA
Yes! Everywhere..the greed for power corrupts a person of the heinous act.
Some of us are not fooled 😂 95% of the grocery store is complete GARBAGE.
Looking through the Canadian grocery store flyers... When did they stop selling food?
@@user-cd7mg8cg7s depends what your definition of food is haha.
I make my food from scratch it doesn't come out of boxes or cans and what not, I use Celtic sea salt or pink Himalayan salt instead of that idolized salt which is terrible
Read labels. Most processed foods are bioengineered. Cream of soups, nuts, ice cream. It’s a long list.
RIGHT ON!
Lobbying should be banned totally from countries government and states. It’s bribery giving money to politicians is wrong. Governments should for the people not for corporations. Health of people should be important
Yeah that's not how governments work. They are literally in the business of armed robbery, taxing the masses at gunpoint. They will only do what we demand, and they will ignore us if we demand it peacefully. That's why the Iraq vs West war had very little public support, but still went on for 2 decades, killing over 6m children, mostly through starvation.
The state must be the enemy of the people just like the farmer is the enemy of the cow. Doesn't mean he wants the cow to suffer, but it often means he doesn't care. That's your relationship to the state
Money and power is important
@@brandonmccain2297? What kind of power? Demonic power...🤭 We are using currency (paper/digital) which is not money. 🤔
That's why they're trying as fast as they can to destroy our health, so we literally won't have a leg to stand on to fight this corruption!🎉😮
Yes, I'm forced to vote Greens as they have a policy to not accept corporate donations. Insane but true
My family moved to the US from natural genuine food heaven Taiwan. We have been eating all these processed foods mentioned in this video for over two years and my health condition is worsening with excessive weight gain. I love everything about America except the food we consume.
That makes me mad at our fake food industry. How can America be the greatest country in the world if their food is designed to make us sick and kill us off.
So eat healthier! 41 lived here my whole life and never once has anyone forced any processed food into my mouth..other options are available.
@@terriewise8422assuming that’s “healthier” is affordable or accessible to people is a bit out of touch with the reality of millions of people.
No one forces you to eat it.
You people are like those folks that say when you live in a crime laden area to just avoid being a victim.
I’ve worked in an NHS mental health hospital for several years now and it never ceases to amaze me the appalling lack of knowledge and awareness medical professionals such as doctors and nurses have when it comes to the link between nutrition and health. The dementia and neuropsychiatry wards are particularly bad where patients who have fasting bloods of 7- 8, and after eating 12-13 is seen as normal and of no concern.
I find it ironic that diabetic patients (which there are many) are not allowed to have sugar in their drinks but yet are permitted to eat as much toast, beans, potato, cereal, pasta, rice as they like. I once voiced my concerns about this with a senior nurse, who simply shrugged her shoulders whilst telling me there’s very little sugar in bread, rice or pasta so it was fine. I couldn’t believe this highly experienced nurse didn’t have a clue how carbs are processed in the body. For a second, I was tempted to inform her that these carbs are converted into glucose by the liver causing huge blood sugar and insulin spikes. I thought better of it. My words would’ve almost certainly fallen on deaf ears.
Just the other week I witnessed a nurse encouraging a diabetic patient to eat some toast before they go to bed as their bloods were too low 5.8. I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing. After the toast her bloods shot up to 12! The nurse was happy with this and allowed her to go to bed.
Many patients are encouraged to eat three meals per day plus snacks and supper which include pudding after every meal (usually cake and custard). toast, and copious amounts of biscuits. Many patients who’s bloods are too low (5-6 range) for their insulin shots are encouraged to eat several biscuits so they can get their shot.
Patients who refuse meals as they’re simply NOT HUNGRY are regularly bullied into submission and virtually force fed. Nurses and staff go into a blind panic thinking that missing a meal or two will somehow have a detrimental effect. For those who don’t cave into the pressure it’s not long before the Ensures (full of sugar) are being pushed upon them. It’s a farce.
As a result of this appalling lack of understanding around nutrition many patients pile on the weight, and their condition deteriorates rapidly. Many patients are on a whole cocktail of drugs which seem to have very little positive effect whatsoever. In fact, I’m convinced many suffer detrimental side effects as a result.
This is an NHS hospital where patients are supposed to come to get better. It’ a sad state of affairs! What the heck is going on!?
You sound very knowledgeable about nutrition. I too believe it to be the root of many if not most western society problems, esp. chronic diseases. I'd love to hear your take on this: What's your opinion on the current food pyramid?
Do you think a low carb is the healthiest possible way of eating?
So basically keto...low carb, high fat and high protein (animal or plant based).
On youtube I see the carnivore diet trend on the rise. While I think its extreme and not convinced it's healthy at all cause too unbalanced, some people seem to see benefits (many of them diabetics). You think this can be linked to the no carbs of this diet?
No carbs might be too extreme too? For me what I'm currently doing is very low to no sugars (if then natural like honey), no plant and seed oils and I'll try low carbs.
Thanks for an answer. Find the discussion very interesting.
Same in the U S A. All of my doctors told me to eat "regular" food before surgery but nothing 12 hrs before it . WTF does ' regular' mean ?? Nutrition classes should be mandatory for health care workers twice a year at least !!
Omg... the world is in such a mess... I've watched dozens of documentaries on different topics, what is happening is just unbelievable. And everything has a common thing: the love and greed for money.
Thats right just follow the dollars,!!!!!!!
It’s the root of all evil eh
But you can not blame politician or corporations the blame goes on the consumer same thing as china becoming a super power people could ve consume responsibly locally sustainably but chose how they consume with their toxicity.
...it is even worse, I am afraid meanwhile it is not just only the money, it is a kind of sick greed for power, to control things and people, to play the role of a kind of god. These people are really sick in their minds, but they are highly intelligent in these manner, not in the manner of love and kindness of respect for the nature of this wonderful planet and it´s living creatures.
@@RM360CRNo, that is the wrong idea. The choice we have as the consumer is very limited. It‘s difficult to get local food, that does not have additives or pesticides, that are carcinogenic too. And if you find some, it‘s really expensive. Not all do have the money for that.
There need to be regulations for big companies, because they don‘t give a damn about anything but money.
Look at all the companies producing in low income countries to avoid labor laws in order to employ children.
The meat industry turned farming into mass production and raising animals in close proximity to each other without once being allowed to walk outside. Muscles are grown with the help of hormones since they are barely able to move. They get often sick so they get injected with antibiotics as a prevention measure, crating antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Those sick animals lan on our plate. I try not to buy those, but ones that are certified having better raising conditions. But those are expensive too.
The responsibility can‘t be on the consumer for the wrongdoings of big corporations. The responsibility lays on them. There is only so much you can do as a consumer.
Many people also calling bs on processed meat being cancer promoting, because otherwise they would not be allowed.
It's always about money. Ironically "we" are the ones with the power (money). Just don't buy the product and will stop making it. Well done documentary.
We don't have the power if the public doesn't know it is unsafe. People don't have time to do research on every single item they buy, which is why the FDA was supposed to be looking out for public interests. Many people still believe in the very institution that is slowly killing them.
@@TheDerangedBlood The FDA like most government agencies is worthless. Just eat fresh vegetables and fruits and meats and fish with no steroids or antibiotics. Excercise and don't eat highly processed foods and sugar. If you do just live with the results. Watch the Woodstock documentary from 1969. There are THOUSANDS of people there and I only saw two or three slightly overweight (not obese). Now go to any Starbucks or grocery store and more than half the people are overweight or obese. Doesn't take a 20 year China Study to figure it out. I weigh the same exact weight I did when I graduated H.S 56 years ago (135 lbs/29" waist). Just do it.
Its not that simple. Corporations shouldn't be allowed to sell toxic food in the first place. And absolutely cave man esc system capitalism is.
Problem is the avg income in the US is only about 30k. That being case the avg single mother can’t afford to feed her family whole foods
Not when there are NO CHOICES (in USA)
I love watching documentaries like this! I remember getting so inspired by a health video about 10 years ago, I totally changed my diet eating only healthy foods and always checking the ingredients. I felt so good, never getting sick, etc. But then I married a guy who LOVES unhealthy foods and I slowly slipped down to it as well. Lately, I’ve been feeling a lot of discomfort and ache in my body. Thanks for the reminder, I am back to eating healthy.
Problem is what is healthy food?
Your idea of healthy may not really be healthy. Example vegetables have way more nitrates than processed meat. Your own saliva has nitrates in it that your body makes. So now what is healthy?
@@dennishinckley6326 some of your information is incorrect.

This documentary is a wake-up call to the hidden influence of the meat industry on our health. It's a sobering revelation of how lobbying has shaped regulations for decades. Thanks for shedding light on this important issue and raising awareness about the need for transparency.
Unhealthy food and illness is big business. Cancer gives the biggest turnover and profits for the medical industry.
It's in their best interest to have forever payers no savers.
Be smart enough so u go to hospitals rarely.
And lord knows, they will never willingly want to put an end to their gravy train...
If everyone on Earth is disease-ridden and of course none of them will be able to work then how will hospitals make profit?
I've watched a lot of documentaries on the food industry and my conclusion is that they don't care about you and they want you fat, sick and nearly dead
My mum read a Guardian article on how too much processed food in your diet can increase your risk of getting cancer. My family started eating less and less processed food. Not that I’m bragging, just glad that I’m aware of how bad ultra processed food is.
Exactly!..and in the US its not that easy to find those meats with out nitrates!...Every thing in a can has it and the meats that dont have it, like bacon and pork, are like twice the price. So sad, but hey, us peasants have been treated like this since the beginning of time, its not going to stop anytime soon or ever for that matter.
Good going, try to eat as little processed food as possible. Learn to flavor your meals with real food like onions garlic etc
All meat is carcinogenic and cause heart disease, diabetes, etc. Watch 'What the Health', 'Forks Over Knives', 'PlantPure Nation', 'Eating You Alive', and many other documentaries. Go plant-based.
Processed food has resulted in increase Diabetes and fatty liver disease resulting in increased heart attacks & strokes and Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s -bottom line - get off the toxic processed food!!
Just think about how many people buy into the whole diet food industry..... Pure Garbage....
Corruption everywhere… so disgusting 🤢
As I just read in a comment, we have the power of deciding and choosing the correct option to maintain our health, and thank you very much for sharing such an important information.
This is why corporations should have no say in politics or legislation.
Dream on.....😅
@@PeCo333 It's a nice dream though...
And why they should be hold to another standard than a human being. An apology is never enough. Damage decimation is all they should do as soon as smt goes wrong.
Wake up, it is corporations who pay politicians to introduce and maintain changes in the law that benefit corporations.
@@pila211 Those corporations have well payed jobs and benefits. Did you know that? All you "Kill to evil corporations" who hire 10's of Millions of workers in America.
Anyone who watched this should share this with all their contacts. Grassroot lobbying can work too, but everyone must do its part.
This is propaganda, people spending money and advocating for something that is a misleading scare tactic. Learn the science and how many nitrates you consume and your body creates on its own.
lobbying gets you Ignored while paying bureaucrats... No buying : hurts their bottom line...

Vote with your money. 💯%
It doesn’t do any good. People should know by now how important nutrition is yet go to the grocery store & look in people’s shopping carts. It’s full of corn fed beef, sugars soda cakes cookies donuts brownies bread Muffins dairy etc. And 80% of the people in United States are just waddling around. And then they go to the doctor & get a bunch of pharmaceutical drugs and then they complain that the pharmaceutical company has too much control and money.
You might look at the younger people and think most of them are healthy because they’re thin? Nope. They’re eating Garbage too. Everything listed above. The damage just hasn’t caught up with some of them yet. It’s exactly why thin young people caught and died from Covid. They weren’t healthy they were just thin.
For what those who know this have stopped consuming this products long time ago, and we tell many people about this issues but they laugh and they call those conspiracy theorist or that you are going to die any aways, may be those companies are right in the need to lower the population from a huge % of brain wash people the question here is why are this companies doing this killing their own consumer...?
A lady over one hundred years ago wrote that meat would not be fit to eat in the future and said only meat you raise yourself was safe then. We now know she was 100% correct

My rule of thumb: Stay away from boxed and over-the-shelf products. Buy everything organic - meats and vegetables. Support your local farmers and local butcher shops and stay away from big corporate processed junk.
What if everything labeled 'organic' isn't really organic?
Maybe a single stage of its growth was 'organic' but the remaining stages were just business as usual, using a loophole in the law.
They do this with "free range chicken", it's a huge barn with a doggie door cutout, and just a few can get out, out of the hundreds that are inside the barn. That loophole let's them be able to label their product as 'free range'.
@@justiniswebb9 I should have specified. When I say “organic” I just mean fresh meats, fruits and vegetables. Not processed and preserved junk we buy in a box or at fast food places. And I know “organic” products are a huge scam.
you MUST BE Rich.. In USA, even "organic" IS Genetically MODIFIED
@@justiniswebb9TRUTH in USA... ALLOWED to Lie...
I decided to stop poisoning myself with processed meats and processed foods overall. It is so hard to quit because there are substances the industry uses to make these things highly addictive and it takes willpower to quit eating these "non- food edible products" as I call them. I am not influenced by commercials since I know whats in these products and I cannot be fooled by nice rustic scenes. I still occasionally eat processed foods and meat with no additives, I always read the ingredients. Finding such products is hard, I would say there is barely any and sometimes its written on the package that the product is " free of nitrite/ MSG/gluten/ lactose/ soy" and suddenly I feel inclined to buy these until I read the ingredients with all the E- numbers, artificial colorings/ flavorings and crap and quickly put it back to the shelf. These are the worst tactics. Clearly they try to sell you something claiming its healthy when it is not, knowing the trends of the " free from" diets that those people follow who want to buy healthy foods. And very often they actually manage to sell crap to unknowing health- conscious people.
Lolol,
I call them simulated food products
According to The China Study, all animal products cause chronic illness including fish and "lean chicken "
Reading labels is the most disheartening thing. Its so rare to find unadulterated food that you don't make from scratch. My favorite packaged food claim I've seen recently "Made with Real Ingredients!".
Soy ain't as bad as they claim. It's actually to the contrary. Look it up
@@ItsmeCoteSoy damages the gut.
How can they call processed food all natural? That is disgusting! I do not eat lunchmeat anymore! Our biggest hidden health problem is sugary drinks and highly/ultra processed foods.
I stopped drinking that vile stuff fifty years ago. Only natural juices, or ice tea for me. I thought the run of the mill stuff was bad until they brought out "diet Coke" " diet Pepsi " what vile tasting stuff.
I buy uncured bacon and uncured beef hot dogs. The ingredients are listed on the package. Nobody has to buy this garbage with sodium nitrates.
The problem is they lobby to hide how processed some things really are
@@den264juices and iced tea have a huge amount of sugar in them, have a look at the label
@@laaaah4577so true
Whether nitrite can cause cancer or not, I've seen a lot of liars in this documentary, so there is probably some truth here. Watch their facial expressions and you can tell.
Besides, the one who's in the wrong seems to get angry the first. Thank you Sandrine for this documentary, you are a real journalist.
Along with facial expressions, I noticed their ears got really red when they were lying.
Processed food is cancerous is-it’s proven and quite obvious when you look at the consumers at the grocery store who shop in those aisles-especially the “biggest” ones (pun intended). The most obvious ones look like they got a book of illnesses and probably take a suitcase of pharmaceutical drugs. It’s disturbing to look at.
This poor lady punished ruined over telling the truth about the dangers of processed foods I am so sorry what these lying cowards did to you god bless you and keep you safe ❤
Unfortunately, in all this mess people tend to forget the power that well-informed, health-conscious consumers can have: to stop consuming these dangerous foods overnight, whereby the food industry wouldn´t have any other choice than either change the composition of their products for the better or close up. No government policy-making can beat this.
Just like the new almond milk wave 🌊
@@Iamsonnilee Almond milk? that's just another malnutrition product.
Exact a mon!
People are pretty stupid! They have fallen for the fake meat.
@@IamsonnileeAlmond milk? Speaking about well informed? Almond milk is just as bad as Danone yoghurt. Maybe if you make it yourself. Ohterwise...look at all the ingredients in almond milk. It's made into poison. Same with normal milk sold by big stores in the USA. Funniest thing I saw on a milk bottle.. May contain milk😅'
The best documentary I have seen in several years, so much so that I would describe it as thrilling. The investigation into Meat Institute discrediting Preston Martin is particularly remarkable. Simply like a detective story, and a very good one. Bravo!
The thing is, it's impossible to get enough people to care. It's almost like telling a drug addict what his drugs are composed of, he might freak out, after which he will continue using. You'd have to get the government itself to change it's own tactics, or convince millions of people to stop buying particular products. I don't buy any of the popular chip brains, processed candies, soda or even bleached bread. It's my own choice, but it does little to cancel out the choice of everyone else. It's not easy to separate multiple people from things they've been eating or drinking their whole lives.
I have good news, Oscar Meyer and some other brands have started producing uncured meats without the sodium nitrite. I certainly support companies finally offering this

i'm pretty sure if a company would produce "brown ham" and did a huge advertisement campaign about it being "real meat" without additives that artifically color it, health concious people would definatly buy it
Duuh! How OBVIOUS does it have to be that corporate profits over public health?!?!😫😡
Please we need a video about the pharmaceutical companies ❤
Not to mention companies that manufacture pesticides, fungicides, etc. They're killing us too.
Notice how those who make such foods, don't eat them? Thats quite telling
And if they do, I’m sure their products are not laced with these chemicals‼️ Guaranteed theirs are grass fed only w/no antibiotics or steroids
I am so glad I started growing food at 24 and now bought my first tractor to substitute for 90% of food I buy in grocery stores. To finally have my own selection of food at large scale
I really appreciate all the people out there fighting for the truth and for the health of the people! And for helping by educating us with these videos! What you all are doing matters! Keep it up
It’s easier to fool people than to prove they were fooled
You mean like the Glyphosate, that is sprayed all over the vegetables that you eat? No vegan would dream to mention any weedkiller or herbicide, fungicide and any other toxin that is dumped by the ton on every acre of land that grows food. It's causing more disease than meat ever will. We're made of meat and it won't kill us. Enjoy your cereals and sugar.
They use these same strategies with the health insurance. It's all about money. Not your health. You could see it during COVID
We live in a world where money is the most important thing over anything including life itself.
Only a fool would think the food industry at large has our health in mind. It is up to the individual to protect themselves against these institutional industrial predators.

I have been a nurse for nearly a decade and I have never seen sicker patients in a span of almost a decade. In the west aging is like an amalgamation of chronic diseases and is living longer but in a terrible state being on lots of maintenance drugs and food. The supermarkets are pretty good in their marketing. On the way to the checkout hords of candies and energy drinks and other highly processed junk in colorful packaging that makes the kids enticed. Its just the older populatio but young people too. The food industry and the pharmaceutical companies are in tandem with this. They arr powerful lobbyists as well.
Thank you So Much for your intense effort to bring light to the subject. I have discussed nitrates (purely as a private citizen) with many people (in the dozens) over the years and the prevailing opinion of most (mostly uninformed individuals) was to limit consumption and they all seemed to be of an ambivalent nature. It being difficult to elicit any passion on the subject. So, the battle of the “passionate informed” will continue to be of the nature of Sisyphus.
To get people to eat Healthy products will always be a battle against time and convenience as we all have such a large selection of many different processed foods to purchase in order to save us time in our busy lives.
Ask any teenager who hangs on the door of the refrigerator and calls out “there is nothing to eat!” To be honest I think many adults would be of the same opinion and many times opt to reach for fast and easy.
It’s usually only when one comes across a personal health issue that causes fear or concern, that we as individuals take on a personal journey of study and discover how to better our health with good nutrition choices.
Bravo Sandrine Rigaud and her entire Crew! Amazing work you did with France 2, please continue. Greetings from Cologne.

Absolutely
We should wish for the investigators only to be careful! Who knows what can happen with them after such an investigation.
We need more organic company and need public support, consumers have the power to avoid these poisoning foods
Thanks so much appreciated documentary ❤ I have known for years about processed meats and nitrates. I was raised on a farm as a child, my mom canned foods, remember canning?! We always ate healthy. I was young enough when we moved into the city and into the world of ballet. Canada started early putting labels on foods. My mom taught me to read them carefully. I don't believe I ever ate a hotdog. Pink foods were something I never saw before and it didn't look appetizing. 😳 This info getting out to the consumer is so important so we can make the proper choices of what to put in our bodies. Just see those scientists? as puppets for those corrupt food industry for some bucks is nothing new. I bet they don't eat nitrate injected food or the crap they sell. Good job. Great narrator❤. Pitiful how these people like the commissioner can't even lie though he's sure trying hard. Your journalist did a good job of exposing the big meat lobbyists as real aholes, get the "flying **** out of here. Nice way to treat a lady.. I am going to share this doc to everyone I know. Glad I am a vegan. But then who knows what's in that food either.😮 8:03
Filthy rich people don't eat the same food that we do. So why would they care what is put in the common people's food.
They care a lot if that's what they're selling to us.

Yes, friut has to be eaten, but not by us. The fruit needs to be eaten to spread the seeds of the tree or the vine, but we don't spread that seed, birds do. We drop in the porcelain bowl or in the rubbish bin where they're left in dump. The trees don't want to be eaten and never are. The plants that are eaten don't want to be eaten for the same reason, but they have been created by people, not nature and all have chemicals in them that make people and other creatures sick. They often kill insects, and if they kill they're not good for food.
We have molars to chew. That's more than obvious. Even a wolf has molors. And we have hands and brains to tear and cook.
@@audreydoyle5268 Meeting a protein quota isn't a problem. It's the fiber we aren't big up on.
And neither is the salmon
It's not pink
Is colored
These industries are aware of what they do
Even if you're a vegetarian, veggies are colored too..I'm grateful that someone posted this
Peaceful digestive system is essential
My mom is 79. She grew up in Arizona. She said her parents worked in the cotton fields, all they ate was non-proccesed food. They ate a lot of "quelites" (greens) like "verdolagas" (purslane) , "bledo" beans, rice, pasta soups.
She said they never asked for assistance like food stamps, because her dad opposed to it. She never did either, she worked to put food on the table. We had no furniture, or nice things. My mom worked for basically food & basics.
My mom did not have money to buy junk food - she is blessed at 79, does not have diabetes🙏.
Poor 😂
Excellent investigative journalism and reporting as we have always known profit over people’s lives and governments continue to profit from this
Im throwing away my ham and bacon asap. Never to be bought again. Thank you for opening our eyes to this .
Every industry is corrupt but the food industry seems to have scandals every year.
Thanks for your time, for the hard work and sharing to the public, sincerely yours.
I remember when I was a kid about the nitrite argument in the press and the USA 🇺🇸 government. The legislation went nowhere because of the the lobbyists...blah, blah. But, I do remember a public awareness campaign to warn consumers of nitrites of the possible health effects.
That injection is done on almost all USA chicken. Even the otganic chickens. The potassium chloride & flavoring are otganic compounds. The bords weight is increased by 20%. The injections greatly increase shelf life.
Thank you for the very informative news! Unfortunately, without processed foods many would not be able to afford organic meats…
When I talk about that to people around me, they laughed at me, and refuses to believe it.
They will get I'll you won't!!!!!
This documentary is very timely. God bless the researchers and other players.
This is where art should come into play, making pieces of art to show people how they are poisoning us
The scary thing is that there are low carb diets whose supporters advocate eating more of this stuff in the interest of weight loss - but at what price?
This documentary is great!!! Excellent interviews and research!
Yes, a typical one sided, one eyed look at the food industry without ever seeing the millions of tons of chemicals that are dumped on the vegetables while they're growing. And don't think the plants don't suck them up.
@@toni4729 I agree with you about the chemicals in our veggies.... But this doc was not about the veg industry....
@@mruncletheredge The way I see it; animals can urinate and poop much of the chemicals out of them, they don't live long. But we have to keep on eating them if we eat them at all. I'm seventy-two and rarely eat vegetables because I'm naturally allergic to the ones that are made by vegetable matter. The do terrible things to me.
Yep, same stuff offcourse happened during covid, with the pharma industry..... the moment big money is involved, the most evil character of humanity kicks in... greed.
The darkest sin which belongs to the deepest layer of Dante's inferno is greed. It is not a human characteristic, it is the influence of evil.
@@audreydoyle5268isn’t the worst sin pride?
I'm 69 going to 70, still working full time despite the discomfort. But I am following the Zen lifestyle now, eating brown rice n sesame seeds as the main staples for healing and healing I am. I'm still craving for everything else but refrain myself from having too much of those to regain my health n strength.
Thank you so much for giving your time to tell the truth, thank you so much!
I knew there was a reason I wasn’t ever huge on ham. I’m more of a beef guy. All natural ribeye, baby.
Buy your meats directly from a butcher or other direct farm source. They will be free of nitrates and other preservatives but the downside is you'll have to consume them in a short period. Another option is to deep freeze them for long term storage.
They still have many chemical injections
@@aguy481such as? The meat I buy have a sell by date of only a few days before spoiling, suggesting there are, in fact, no preservatives in that meat.
@@aguy481hormones?
@@tazboy1934 you will find hormones in meat regardless of whether they were injected or not. Now the injected ones aren't really too big of a concern, compared to nitrites. And antibiotics aren't that big a deal either, because we kinda need those to stave off fatal bacteria. If you're so concerned, go vege. Worried about pesticides? F*cking starve then, privileged snob.
@@azurie580 please read my comment to Tazboy. Same insult applies to you
As we live in the very last days and everything will soon come to an end ... no surprise at all. Thanks from Germany for the best in-depth food-docu ever 💰💉💸💲💲💲!
Excellent documentary. Keep up the good work. Thank you!!
Thanks for your hard work and investigating skills I need to stop consuming processed meats, they taste great and are affordable but definitely not healthy
And so convenient. You just open a package and they’re fully cooked and ready to eat.
All done purposely to keep people slaves to their never-ending jobs.... Why give a person a twenty hour work week when you can make them work sixty hours and offer them Fast Food and easy junk food to consume because of time constraints.... Eventually, all this "working" and unhealthy living leads to medical issues.... But luckily for us, we have the other corrupt industry known as the Pharmaceutical Industry to save us....
If it wasn't so obviously laughable, I'd be crying...
That's why we have days off. To meal prep. The overprocessed food zaps your energy, making you believe you don't have time and energy.
Go after the scientists and doctors that ask the wrong questions. Don't forget what they did to those who asked questions about the COVID vaccines.
My sister DIDN'T get vaxxed, and she ended up in hospital on a ventilator. I got vaxxed and had a week long cold when the rona caught up to me. We're both in our 20s and had a fairly healthy diet growing up.
Get vaccinated.
I am sure non of these giants of the meat industry tells their own family to eat meat.
To go out of their way to even pay scientists to advertise their meat is outrageous.
I am glad i came across this video.
The lobby system needs to be abolished
I get it, I'm not a fan of processed meat either but the timing when they are trying to get us to eat lab grown meat and bugs.
Because it's one option or the other if you're ignorant 😄
I would like to see more on other meats, "whole meats" beef, chicken, duck etc that are not processed.
Me too!
I eat zero processed industrialized food 🎉🎉🎉I even make my own milk, tomato sauce etc. So simple. I don’t open any can, I peel my food ❤
It would make the documentary more interesting if we can know what the lobbyists are being paid by the food industry. Is there any way of finding that out? It should be a requirement by the federal government to publicize what a lobbyist is being paid by a public company to lobby for them at a federal or state level.
Excellent documentary 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
In Vietnam, people prefer fresh meat to processed one. Everyone knows the later has numerous additives, preservants etc. that make it look fresh and taste good for a long time. Besides, fresh meat tastes a hundred times better. Foreigners coming to our country see dozens of local market vendors selling meat (pork, beef) outside. They say that is not hygienic but in fact they are freshly cut out of butchery. I 😅
The journalist did a great job with the interviews.
This is an extremely informative and well-made documentary!
Thank you for this eye opening documentary. It is rare to see real journalism these days. I am trying to follow a keto/carnivore diet, mostly meat, eggs, dairy. Time to time I buy sausages, hams as snack, but not anymore. It was a good reminder to read the label. I will just go for good quality, fresh meat products, preferably from local market. One remark on the reason why they use this poison in meat products: they claim it's because if it was grey people wouldn't buy it. I think it is a lie from their part: they are simply "creating" patients for big pharma. So they make people ill and they pass them to big pharma as clients.
reminds me of something else that was released recently, something that was called "safe and effective"
Thanks for educating us.
Thanks for spreading awareness❤❤❤
Thank you for keeping some of us informed.
Yes we need more noise! Thank you I support this documentary.
If your "food" has an ingredient label,
Its not food
Great Work 😊. That's what a Documentary is
Health conscious people that are aware of corruption of governments controlled by corporations, politicians, their scientists. doctors etc., will and do make the right choices. Unfortunately many grew up with it and don't look at the ingredients or care. I have shared this video.
Moral of story is don't smoke hotdogs because it may be hazardous to your health.
Don't eat vegetables, they're all sprayed with toxic chemicals that are sucked up by the plants and you eat them.
I would love to see you do a documentary on inventors and inventions that have been squashed because a particular industry would lose either lots of money or lose their business altogether because of such an invention. For example, years ago I saw a news media show about up-and-coming inventions and one of them was a sonic like washing machine. The whole idea behind the concept is not having to use any type of laundry detergent at all. It was the same type of method used to clean dental instruments. And the guy had all but perfected it and then I never saw it again. And then I found an unrelated Article about a different invention and apparently a huge company came and offered the guy tons of money for his invention just so they could squash it. I would love to find out what happened to that man and his sonic washing machine
Or who just steal it when the inventor won’t sell.
Wild, my father died at the age of 41, colon cancer. Main diet was processed meats, and beef jerky. Sodium nitrite definitely in all of it.
The faces who lied can be seen very clearly and that's fantastic.
Scientists need to be paid for their work not paid off.
For me, I react to the sulphates in frozen and canned foods, as well as some foods with nitrates. Frozen fruit and some vegetables cause me to break out in rashes. I can eat these foods straight from the tree or pulled from the ground, and nothing happens. All foods have become overly processed.
Thank you Dr Susan Preston-Martin for your work, for making consumers wiser regarding what goes in our food. At the end of the day, consumers should have the right to make inform choices and vote with their own wallet.
What do we know? DO NOT TRUST THE FOOD INSUTRY.
They LIE about everything, when questioned, they hide. There's no tranparency, so F the food industry.
I think you could do one on the crop growing industry and their push into cereals and sugary foods for people.
Also, do one about ultra processed vegan foods like beyond meat and Impossible burgers. Never mind, lab grown meat that is now being cultured in laboratories for human consumption.
