Glad to see this being covered. The problems aren’t unique to India but we have a few adverse issues stacked against us. South Asians appear to develop diabetes and cardiovascular disease at a lower BMI and no one is quite sure why. There is a theory that the famines mentioned in the video, especially severe during Empire, have genetically “primed” Indians to develop this. South Asians are hugely over represented among my patients in spite of making up small numbers of the overall population in the UK, and develop problems at a young age. Secondly Indian food is labour intensive so as women already shoulder most of childcare and household duties, as they have entered the workplace, they are particularly susceptible to choosing processed options that might make their life easier when feeding the family, thirdly Indian work culture is intense (see Narayana Murthy just yesterday proposing a 70 hour work week) so even young single people simply don’t have the time to make healthy choices and cook at home. Swiggy etc is too easy. The change in average waistline since my birth in the 80s has been so dramatic. But money rules all and every government welcomes in multinationals.
That's fascinating to learn
I feel that the same can also be said for other countries particularly in Africa
As a Kenyan, I can confirm that waistlines are also increasing.
We also have a shared history of famines like India and for some reason, fatness is considered a status symbol which is weird
Hi Rohin
@@she3479 Famine was a common thing across the globe prior to Industrial revolution.
if it its due to famines then you should see similar results in Irish, Ukrainians, African, Chinese, etc. so many different populations have experienced those conditions in recent times.
70 hour work week?!?!?! Im gonna be sick
One BIG problem is that adults are constantly giving sugar and junk food to kids. They think it is a treat for kids and shows love for the child. If you try to stop them, they consider you too strict and a joy-killer. All junk food should be labelled as “Unsafe for children’s consumption”.
No. Let the kids eat chocolate. We were also kids once. These things will stop once you get older. As you age your taste preference for sugar reduces.
I’m bangali and my grandparents do this :/
@@firestone9698tuu😊p
who have the patience to cook now? we seek easy life. everybody is living that way be it poor or rich.
No. Fast food is the same as any other food.
If it’s all you eat, all of the time, you will get ill. There is not a single type of food on the planet you can eat 2/3 of the time and not end up with some kind of nutrition deficiency.
I used to work for a big pharma company. The sad thing about 10 years ago they were predicting a rise in diabetes in India. They were happy because that meant selling more diabetes drugs. They really werent trying to tackle the cause of the problem.
😮I can't believe what humans are capable of doing in order to get money. 😢 Here in my country Mexico we are in the same situation.
Haha...can u guess what else out there thats's quite recent(like about 2years recent) In terms of "implementation into societies worldwide" makes big Pharma happy?....Here's a clue...it starts with "V". It's odd na?...wen u see soo many younger n younger folks who never had a history of health/heart issues just dropping like flies around the world. Strange that no-one in power or governance even points a finger or makes a notion of what im talking about. It should be easy for u to guess what im talking about...since u worked for big Pharma. This world is run by evil is mostly wat im led to believe these days from my diggin in....who knows what the truth is...but clearly it's looking like a grim reality for all of us in terms of our mortality rates since the past two years till now.
Because that is not their job.
Most corporations are parasites.
To be fair, tackling the cause of this problem isn't really the job of pharma companies. What could they even do? Sell magic diet pills?
I came from USA to work in Kerala & I remember wealthier people were overweight, bad skin, while poorer people in were slim, glowing skin, white teeth. Made me question my eating habits!
@@thegracienetwork7847 poverty fixes everything that’s why Indian government is increasing taxes, reducing income tax slab levels, and introducing inflation to make more people poor and healthy
@Vegetawassigma It's called Sarcasm
I live in an apartment complex in the US occupied predominantly by East Indian H1B visa holders working IT for FedEx. Most are obese. 0:09
I am in my mid-twenties struggling with being overweight, there are too many factors leading to the obesity. 1. Sedentary Lifestyle 2. Overeating as a solution to managing stress. 3. Socializing with family and friends means access to more food 4. Pop-up of thousands of F&B options 5. Lack of knowledge amongst the public about proper nutrition and fitness.
Track your calories and try going on a walk to stop sedentary lifestyle
A lot of that sounds like personal decisions/choices. Unfortunately it is very hard to lose weight but the weight didn’t jump on over night and if you’re in America, there were plenty of outlets that told people being overweight is not healthy and you can literally google anything about it. Eat less, move more.
@@NicholasWHaley7 Eating the right things is also key. I refer you to my little post in response to @MedlifeCrisis above.
@ernstyong7212 Yes, I have quit eating fast food, processed food/snacks and eating home cooked food. Walking and exercising regularly to cut down weight for some time.
Go outside lol. Dont stare at ur screen all the time, just go outside, ride a cycle or just walk both stress and weight will reduce. If u keep using fancy words for your ignorance and laziness you will just be the same man sorry for being rude.
There is so much money in lobbying for these companies that 99% of people in the government will never pass safety laws. The pay by companies is far far too great.

We visited my aunt's house in India few years back. She was so proud telling us how "modern" Indian food industry has become since BK, McD, KFC and other fast food chains entered Indian markets. According to her Maggi noodles was equivalent to a home cooked meal. Personally, I think we've stopped listening to our bodies and often ignore early signs.
I’m a Keralite living in a western country. My dad used to wake me up and my sister at 6:00 AM and make us exercise before going to school everyday. We as a family works out including my mom and eat healthy. I still goes to gym, so my dad who is in his 60s. He is hitting hard in gym and lose 15 kgs recently. I’m proud of my upbringing.
I come from a completely opposite family and started being fit a year ago. Yours is the kind of family culture I wish to have when I start mine.

Sleep is also important.
@@HowieHoward-ti3dxI don't think they're missing any sleep. They probably go to bed early, judging from how health-conscious they are.
I am from that era where schools didn't have canteens and we used to eat healthy home-cooked meals such as chapati, rice, and vegetables(sabzi). Which used to be healthy and tasty, but now parents are both working, don't have time to cook meals for their children's, and it's really heartbreaking because it's not just a food we're giving up on; it's the culture of our food we're letting down.
Couldn’t agree more. USA went through similar struggles - and India needs to learn from what happened in US.
@@sharathgadasally2309 We should learn and implement on community level.

India has some of the best traditional food of any country, and it has a huge influence on the food of Britain, where I live (Chicken Tikka Masala, which was invented here by Bengali immigrants, is our national dish!). It's sad to see curries, biryanis, chutneys, and thalis being replaced with unhealthy and ultra-processed rubbish in their original homeland.
@@nathangamble125 Traditional Indian food is delicious, but can be quite unhealthy in it's own right, lol. A lot of curries are loaded with saturated fats, and to top it off are often eaten with some type of bread or rice. Biryani is one of my favorite Indian dishes, but I eat it sparingly, especially Dum Biryani which is the worst of both worlds. Diabetes was a common issue in India even before the junk food.
It's the same problem the Philippines is experiencing; the food was made to refuel the body after hard, agricultural labor. Now people work white-collared jobs while still eating that same food.
Education about health is urgently needed in the common households.
No the big problem is that in every country where fast food corporations are allowed to do their business freely, you see a rise in obesity and metabolic diseases. Why do people refuse to understand that it's not the issue of personal responsibility but that these fast food corporations are allowed to sell their junk that is killing millions.
As a fitness enthusiast, I am liking this video in hope that this warning reached thick skinned food regulators in New Delhi and unhealthy people who spoil health of their children with sugar!
Eating out & going to Mc Donald should also be regulated by govt😂
But then how are fast food companies and their investors supposed to make money?
SHAREHOLDER'S LIVES MATTER
individuals need to be responsible for their actions. Banning or taxing food is not the solution
@@da_revo5747Under that logic, individuals should be left aside to be responsible to pay Govt taxes also. No need to put penalty on them for not paying the taxes. Let people be more responsible, why penalise them? Just like let people be more responsible against the terrible and aggressively marketed empty calorie fast food, why penalise the companies producing it?
@@Pp.703 The kind of empty calorie and unhealthy food being served in those fast-food eat outs is what needs regulation by the govt. If you take time to read about the regulatory weakness of the Govt of India and the joke that is the FSSAI, you'd know how willfully incompetent the Govt has been in front of the massive sugar and junk food lobbies. Laugh emoji won't then be your best compensatory expression from the keyboard then.
Everyone here is commenting on the food. Literally, our cities/towns are designed in such a way that public access to parks, bicycle lanes etc. is limited, the choice is between an expensive (consider the median income) indoor workout facility or barely any cardio.
Absolutely spot on, this is bigger problem then dietary preferences. Our whole urban infrastructure, especially old cities, doesn't co-operate human health in its verticals of human development and planning.
Not designed
That's why small cities are the best. I come from a very small city in UP, and I am realizing only now how amazing and peaceful life is there with 2 rivers, parks, river-side pathways and farm fields all around and we also get fresh and cheap veggies all year around.
@@kriketpraymeAbsolutely right, people are blaming food, but not the lifestyle they have chosen. Everyone is running after money. As everyone is working eating out is new trend. US have parks, Gardens & other facilities & planned town, so what? They are facing obesity problem.
Our cities have so bad air quality that even taking long walks for health is not possible
I'm American. Please learn from our mistakes and do better than us. I'm glad you are having this conversation before you get to where we have gotten.

@@tuckerbugeaterIt’s not that we don’t know where we’ve gone wrong but mostly we don’t have much power individually to change the food landscape in the US. Our legislators even struggle to fight the food industry here, but we need change!
@@tuckerbugeater What specifically? Americans haven't made mistakes with our food? I shouldn't be glad that India is having the conversation about food? India is not having the conversation? I made a very general, non-controversial statement.

The same pattern has been repeated numerous times: USA, Mexico, Philippines, etc. Western companies are often the spearhead but even without them local businessmen see the fast food business model and start to provide pizza, sugary drinks, processed snack foods, etc.
Exactly, it's not an issue of personal responsibility like so many people in these comments are talking about. It's all because of these fast food corporations. They need to be regulated.
Are you saying personal responsibility has degraded with time?

@@tuckerbugeaterthe fact that places that don’t have these environmental factors show less obesity is very telling.
In India, food options can be just as unhealthy as in the west, and the main problem is sedentary lifestyles that don't promote enough physical activity.
No
Just eat vegan, you will be skin and bones for life
@AmazingbrownIndians what did you smoke before writing this comment?
The main problem is not a sedentary lifestyle. It certainly doesn’t help, but the main problem is insulin resistance caused by eating too many carbs.
Eating meat is bad for the planet
“The industry wants to be part of the solution”, how? Isn’t their own interest that’s at stake?
Their interest is at stake if their interest is in money over people’s physical wellbeing. Giant corporations don’t care about people because when it comes to them, people are nothing but a statistic in their book, big corporations remove the humanity of the people from the equation in turn putting needs of the few: ultra rich corporate zombies, over the needs of the many.
i'm betting it's just empty promises. unfortunately, new brands dedicated to providing food that is genuinely balanced and nutrient dense happen to be very expensive, and food giants like unilever would love to rake in profits from India since the rest of the world is getting more aware about proper nutrition and putting regulations against them.
They want to be part of the solution because regardless of what they do, solutions will be proposed and enacted, so it's very much in their best interest to try to control as much as possible what the solution is, so they can do it in a way that favors them. Which ultimately means undermining the whole idea of eating healthy.
lies
Honestly it's shocking to hear current cardiac cases. Specially among young people (between the age of 13-45). Such cardiac cases have especially increased due to packed food.

This is so important for Indians and Indian parents to understand. We are affected 3 fold not just by our unregulated marketing of foods that we have in India we also have a genetic predisposition due to the famines of the past & and like America we don't have socialized Health care. Regardless of history, the important message is even more important that we address this issue now before we have an unfit and useless population that can't defend itself or even pay for its medical care we will see huge numbers of unnecessary deaths and in India, if you have huge medical bills that can cripple the poor and middle class you won't see any mobility. DO NOT become a cash cow for unscrupulous companies profiteering on human addiction and evil marketing tactics, no one will save you.
Unlike in America, India HAS socialized health care. Check facts before
@@hardik875 my bad unclear here, an effective socialized care, with the obesity epidemic is so underfunded it won't be able to cope. A large majority go to private care.
@@hardik875 America HAS socialized healthcare if you just don't pay the bill. Check facts before
The famines of the past is a THEORY not a proven fact. There have been plenty of famines EVERYWHERE in the world including China, Ukraine, Africa, Ireland, etc. So shouldn’t they be affected the same way?
@@WastedBananas Different population react differently to environmental effects, not all people who suffered famines might have triggered famine genes to kick in, its also dependant on prolonged famines when these famines occur, how many, etc.
Mentioning the Bengal famine without the context of it being a Churchill-led genocide is a bit misleading, don't you think?
Playing the devil's advocate. It was not a history video.
Churchill was based. Mad respect.
@@Informativeeyejealous of the new superpower India 🇮🇳 Bhai😂🎉
Exactly...
It's western media bro...what do u expect 😅
This is not a history video
During the 200 years British Raj, there were around 190 famines of different scale and around 20 were of large scale. This just means that during 200 years of Raj, every year there was famine in some part of India.
What has that got to do with obesity in india today.
Wrong video himanshu XD
During famines, the human body adapts to use less glucose and suppress insulin . Most of North Indians suffered from famines during British Raj, which is why they have insulin suppressing mechanism which makes them obese .
@@User-059-42as spending power of India increased
@@User-059-42To put it simply, entire generations of our ancestors were under tremendous physiological (edit: as well as psychological) stress due to the famines that they had experienced.
All of this in turn hugely impacted the genetic makeup of both them and their children who also suffered through similar famines (200 years is roughly 3-4 generations), this included genes or gene clusters coding for hormones such as insulin and others. Many diseases and conditions related to food therefore have been passed down via heredity to the current generations.
So we see many cases where people have normal bmis and live normal relatively healthy lifestyles but still suffer from multiple ailments such as diabetes and obesity among others.
Now do you get it?

It's been a year since I completely stopped eating junk food and I've lost a lot of weight and my moods have drastically improved too. I've completely lost cravings for those processed foods as well. These foods have a terrible effect on both your short term/long term health.
How did you stop your cravings? I'm struggling with it! I really want to help myself but I'm unable to stop eating chips and chocolate. I easily end up eating 2 packs of chips and chocolates almost everyday. Please help! I want to stop.
@@Sheiwangisome willpower is required. When I started working out and seeing results then that was motivation to not undo those results with junk food. I make sure to always have healthy food options easily available so that I’m not tempted by junk food. Occasionally I’ll allow myself a treat of something like chips, or McDonalds but very rarely.
What foods? "Processed" is not a food group.
An amino acid is an amino acid. A fatty acid is a fatty acid.
It doesn't matter what the history of how those substances enter your body is.
@@MrCmon113 Surely you can tell that a Cheeto is more processed than an apple
@@Sheiwangi hey shift for healthy options like oats chips with no palm oil and very minimal sugar or try nuts as snaks
As an obese indian, i can relate to it a lot
Time. Plain and simple. Indian food takes a lot of time to prepare generally speaking. Additionally, both parents are usually working long hours these days and joint family structures are not very common anymore. This breakup of family time takes a toll on everyone.
But which part of the country
Not everyone is obese
To add to that more office working hours, forcing people to switch to frozen food.
It’s not only that. It’s also the more sedentary lifestyles, less physically demanding jobs. More people with cars. Less time walking outside.
More fast food readily available due to big corporations. Soft drinks. Food delivery. Time plays a role, for sure, but it’s other factors than just that.
@@desiprankstv1605 soan papdi and jalebi??
Nah...at one point of time my parents were both working. But still we had healthy home made food. It's all about priorities. I can easily make breakfast & lunch for 4 people in an hour. With some prep done the day before together with the family. Like cutting vegetables we all do it as a family. It's also quality time spend together.
Sedentary lifestyle is more of the problem. I used to home cooked food , even most of veg were grown in home. But i still gained weight because I wasn't active.

@@talkingdrops😂😂😂😂
as an Indian myself working in a metropolitan, healthy food is an after-thought, there are new food startups that are aiming at healthy low calorie and high protein food at fast food speeds, but it will take time to blend in the unhealthy food scene, restaurants, street vendors and cloud kitchens are also trying to include health options ,also a misconception that vegetarian foods don't have protein, milk, butter-milk and curd are excellent sources of protein the calorie/gram of protein is comparable to meats like pork and beef.
in west , especially western journalist, often writes script that economic growth is cause of this, ie living standard and income level. however, indian cities are very old and this seems very recent problem, maybe 20 years only, so is big factor foreign fastfood and snack franchices coming to indian market with heavy advertising partly to blame? I dont see any problem with physical labor, rural people but that is besides this point(they may have malnutrition, too low food). Many say in comments also indian traditional food is unhealthy, yes but it is for celebration only and there are big variety of them, not all are as bad as sweet sugary or fatty dishes.
@@effexonagreed
can you name some of those few startups? I would like to buy from them
Your comment couldn't be further from the reality.. The misconception that vegetarians are actually eating healthy vegetarian food and rest are eating nov veg trash.. most of the vegetarians in north or west are eating so much rajma, chana, and cheese, and aloo that there's hardly any vegetables in your diet... Look at the north eastern people, or the Chinese or other south east asians.. they eat a lot of non veg but equally eat a high amount of green leafy vegetables, soups, and whatnot.. please open your eyes.. rajma and chana and besan and pakode, fruit juice, and cheese are not healthy unless you top it up with healthy greens with lot of satiating fibrous food..
What is wrong with meat. Eating cooked meat brought us here. As far as I know Indians have high deficiency in vitamin B12, still hate meat. I'm not saying one should have meat every day, but don't just throw it out the window altogether.
Whenever I visited India, I was mostly forced into eating sweet for every occasion. I think that's something all of us have to keep in check.
Seed oils combined with carbs is pure death
Nobody, I mean nobody reads the calorie count and portion size given on the back of processed foods. This should be taught early on what needs to be consumed. I used to enjoy a glass of Bourvita and processed cereals for breakfast. That's an easy 800-1000 calories with a high sugar count. And yet I used to still feel hungry by Lunchtime. Glad at 32 years old I have cut down on many of these things and I wish I had known some of these things a lot earlier.
I worked in India for 6 months 7 years ago and I remember seeing how all my Indian coworkers ate and was shocked more weren’t obese. All they ate was fried carbs, naan, and rice. We were all in our mid 20s, and some I swear never ate a vegetable the entire time if it wasn’t fried or a pizza topping
Trust me I’m Indian, and i have realised this early on; we need to cut out our carbs man. We take soo much carbs a day without even noticing under it being the pretext of traditional “Indian cusine”
Another contributing factor is our extremely carb heavy and very low in protein diet.
can you suggest some ideas on how to add protein to indian food
@@PixieFan900i
1. f you eat daal and rice then just eat daal.
Think of daal as a stew - throw in multiple veggies and have a bigger serving.
2. Eat boiled eggs - lot of Indians think eggs are non vegetarian. They are ofcourse non vegan but definitely not the same as eating flesh.
3. Eat Amla, lemon/lime , coriander and green mango chutney - basically any kind of sour/acid/vitamin C rich raw food along with the regular carb rich lunch. These foods lower the insulin response of the meal while also accelerating the digestion process.
4. If you are non vegetarian and lucky to find small river fish. Then please include a serving regularly in your lunch/dinner. The key is smaller fish and from a river/pond- fresher and less accumulated heavy metals.

My college director says: "People don't die due to hunger but die due to overeating". I have to say he is spot on.

real crisis occurs after college, when one starts earning money and is alone in a different city. With no cooking knowledge and ordering food daily, that's what is happening atleast in my case
Bro start cooking then.. two of the easiest recipes are Daal, Chawal, and any kind of vegetables soup.. if you're a non veg then adding eggs and some greens are the simplest way to have more control over your diet

Majority of people in India think having more weight is healthy.
Thin & slim people in Indis are looked with contempt.
How high are you? 😄
If people are mindless sheep then it's not anybodys fault but their own. Theyre not kids who need to be taught what to eat and what not.
traditional indian snack foods like chana and daal are pretty healthy, but it seems they are getting displaced by the more calorically dense and less sating American style snack foods. We could blame the companies making and marketing these, but the fact is they've had decades worth of product research with which they've engineered some delicious stuff. It's hard to stay away from fries, kettle cooked potato chips, soda, etc.

Every place in the world it’s hard to get healthy food. The food companies load everything up with sugar or a chemical substitute, and salt. It’s SICK
We have to take responsibility for our body as companies are responsible for their shareholders.

2) It's easier to get ANYTHING than ever before.
You've probably never been to Switzerland or Norway. "every place in the world" seems like a lot of hot air comes out of your mouth "TheTruthSeeker". 😂
India better get on board with Chili and put some strong regulations on this processed foods. They already know the repercussions.
No body ate out 2023 years ago, mc Donald’s was so expensive you couldn’t afford it. Everyone cooked at home when a guest came and the local sweet maker or savoury maker would cook things from scratch in their shop and you would bring them over once in a blue moon. Even fruit juice was impossibly expensive. The only occasional treat was maggi noodles which did make you feel sick. Cook at home from scratch and you won’t be obese.

Try to encourage kids to drink everyday ABC(Apple+Beetroot +carrots) juice and sweet potato and yam these thing will reduce sugar cravings. If kids start liking green dhaniya chatni with boiled potatoes ,they will stop craving for dakt too.
In 1960, before the explosion of fast food and heavily processed food, the US obesity rate was about 15%. Today it is approaching 40%, the highest rate of any country except for a few Pacific island nations. Other than those countries, only several Mideast nations are anywhere near the US obesity rate.
Much needed, in the right time. I think that It is imperative for the gov to focus on these issues. As Not only is the overall health of the country declining, we are left out on our own to deal with most of these things.
I appreciate the sentiment behind this video, it needs to be spoken more about in Indian households and the government should be playing more of an active role. You won't see the consequences on society and health systems till decades later, so it's important to act now.
The famine the narrator mentioned was directly caused by the British empire though. That was a questionable omission of detail and needed to be included
Education, regulation, then double taxation on junk food. Use those extra taxes to educate & treat the sick.
Urban kids are seriously getting in influence of this 😢😢
gluttony is a sin. excessive eating and drinking is the problem.
How to overcome it?
@@AyushKumar-pi8wn
Practice.
Finding inspirational people to be around helps.
Here the politicians must protect the children, long term gains instead of short term gain into the budget, which will evaporate once the kids get sick. India can learn from experience of others and really should
I knew obesity was an issue in some countries around the world (especially some western countries), but I never would have thought it's an emerging issue in a country like India. I suppose the lower cost of, ease of access to and aggressive marketing of food that is terrible for your health are some of the key reasons why obesity is a now a global issue.
Also there is less and less need for physical work. More people are in offices and in factories barely moving which causes huge problems.
If you have a physically demanding job it matters alot less what you eat
Can't stop appreciating this video. It's a epidemic and no one's objecting to it
People are objecting to it. But social conservatives, and big businesses whose interests they serve, are objecting to the objections, so nothing happens.
What do you think we should do? Force everyone to eat the same food because you think you are smarter than them? The people aren’t being forced to eat Burger King. It’s the same in America, you don’t have to eat the food or drink the drinks. I know people that are highly educated and still choose to eat it. That’s their choice. Id rather that and they live how they want, then forcing them to eat veggies. I enjoy a coke like once a month. Why can’t people show self control?
@@NicholasWHaley7 bro Idgaf about what people eat but the eventual loss of productivity and more money lost in healthcare due to it which could've used in more fruitful manner. Obesity is not a isolated incident, it's interconnected
i am proud to be indian. india now has more people eating too much than eating too less! although this obviously have to be dealt with using high tech science, which india excels at, we are now following the trends of much more developed countries like USA, Japan, and singapore. A lot of indians now live in cities being paid high wages, working very few hours, and now are able to afford an abundance of goods/services so it is obvious they will gain weight due to their sedentary lifestyle. it is a difficult situation but this makes me proud to be indian. we are a obviously becoming a very rich country.
Because much of the food is made to be chemically addictive.
Did I really see a kid pocketing a Maggi? 😂
Food vloggers are truly on the rise, I wonder what they'll be like in the next 20 years
India is perfect example of economic disparities in a society. Unlike western countries India ranks very poorly on hunger index but still 1 in 4 is obese and India has 1.4 billion people so that's a lot of obese people. India has zero control and monitoring over junk and fast food. Most of the fast and junk food sold in India can't be even sold legally in US and Europe. The cheese they have on DOMINOS pizza in India is not cheese at all , its some kind of imitating cheese . So its just a matter of time India will have disturbing number of cancer,diabetes and coronary heart diseases patients.Considering how backward healthcare system in India is , effects are going to be devastating.
I would say its more about regulation than economic disparities
Well, India is being westernized, from culture to music to food and lifestyle so it's only matter of time we start seeing the American effects replay in Indian societies.
Not true. Traditional Indian food is very unhealthy. I’m from Malaysia. We have 3 main ethnicities here: Malay, Chinese and Indian. All 3 ethnicities are still very traditional when it comes to their dietary habits. According to official reports by our government, Indians have the highest rate of mortality, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. In fact, we don’t even need this data. Just use your eyes and look at the people walking on the streets. It’s pretty obvious which ethnic is the unhealthiest.
@@PassionPno half knowledge is always dangerous feeling pretty bad for you
Western Propaganda. One side they potrait india has 33% population who can't eat two times a meal. Secondly they say india has obesity problem.
Come out of cities. India has lowest obesity rates in the world.
@@RajaRamMohanKaayRaising awareness about an increasing issue isn’t propaganda. The data speaks for itself. The “west” is composed of so many different individual countries and they have nothing to gain from “defaming India by making up an issue about obesity”.
Obviously, this video doesn’t refer to all of India, but to those who are gaining middle class status. As India’s economy is growing, the middle class is the fastest growing part of the Indian population currently, so the obesity issue is expected to grow just as rapidly, as people leave their physically demanding jobs and get lifted out of poverty.
There’s no need to feel offended. This is a well-known problem around the world - US, Mexico, Europe, the Middle East, and increasingly also here in India. Nobody is trying to single out India as a negative example or point fingers.
But we need to be able to speak about health issues with an open mind and change things before they become as bad as they are e.g. in the US.
Actually, we're not Westernized when it comes to paying attention to physical activities. In Europe/North America, playing sports, running, swimming, etc. are encouraged from a young age. Here, it's not so.
Wiston churchill caused bengal famine
Even indian food is unhealthy. Lots of deep fried pakoras, samosas, diwali sweets, lots of oil and ghee in vegetables. Regulating Packaged food alone is not enough
So you eat samosa , kachori on daily basis ? Sweets everyday? Put too much ghee in every food ? Isn't it your problem that you are eating wrongly and not your food problem.
Deep fried pakodas are still healthier than burgers, samosas healthier than pizzas, Indian mithai healthier than cakes, kulfi healthier than ice cream. And all these used to be delicacies to be eaten once in a while. Mithai only during Diwali. Samosas, pakodas, only when there were guests at home.
Did you say deep fried is healthy than burger 😅 bruhh@@saptadwipajha8453
@@saptadwipajha8453 deep fried anything is unhealthy than anything non deep fried. Go learn something
Thanks for making this Video..
Irony is that the gap between the poor and rich is ever increasing in India... Hence you see increase in the malnourished children (especially under 5) along with increase in the over nourished children.. Government is constantly been battling the issue for undernourished children however it has no say on over nourished category. You have not included
1. CHATS which forms the huge part of junk food here.. these chats are usually made up of white flour and deep fried in oil/ghee.
2. WHITE FLOUR BASED FOODS like naan, paratha etc., which forms the everyday food in northern part of India..
3. WHITE RICE - which forms the basic food in southern and Eastern India.
4. BIRIYANI (Rice and meat based spicy food) - which is the number one seller in the country.
5. BUTTER - which is used generously in all sorts of north Indian food..
All these are also reason for rising obesity in the people here...
Another factor is that people have forgotten their roots aka their traditional food and traditional lifestyle (which are seasonal in nature and scientifically alligned too whether its celebrating festival or food intake.) and also spiritual practices like Yoga, meditation to name a few...
India is experiencing what US started facing eons ago, obesity acts as a harbinger of growth in society. Like it or not, obesity is a scourge that every society needs to push forward.
yeah, but traditional Indian snacks can already do these things, you don't need mcdonalds for this epidemic, all you need is accesibility to snacks
As a non indian that loves the wide variety of spices and flavour profiles of the traditional Indian diet, I have a very legitimate question: why has junk food surged when surely poverty must still be an issue? Junk food in North America is not cheap these days so anyone buying it is certainly ok with making the investment. Its fast but not cheaper than vegetables for example. Is this the same story in India?
Traditional food(home made-everyday meals, including pulses, millets and lots of vegetables) in my state, karnataka, is still there. But the moment female members start going to work... the routine gets disturbed ..... Men need to change a bit.
Junk food is affordable, not cheap but affordable. In India there is a lot of status in ordering in pizza and burger for birthdays. Most kids in metro cities don’t enjoy the vast majority of our traditional foods. The order social strata have also started imitating this. And because we are densely populated with limited open spaces that obesity is the natural outcome
Junk food is very cheap in India. We've too many street food stalls on nearly every corner of the street . It's made with very low quality oil and ingredients. Indian food is tedious to cook at home so, a lot of youngsters just eat street food on their way home from work or school/collage with their friends . Most young people have no cooking skills either until they get married. Most of my neighbours are software engineers and they don't know how to cook proper meals. They all eat out or order in atleast once a day. One lady is 40y/o and she orders in 3 times a day and weighs a ton 😂. She can't even climb stairs.
@@569-shashankjoshi7yes. Men need to start taking the share of household chores more. If both are working, both should be cooking. That is one of the best solutions on this problem. 🤷🏻♀️
dude chips can be found that cost as low as 0.06 dollars in every store. These store are everywhere whereever you go
Disappointed to see that the Health ministry didn't react or respond. What's there to hide?
Posted on 3rd May 2023.
There must be an increase in awareness among the consumers.I can't stand these ads on tv showing us all the health benefits their drinks will get ( i.e. horlicks, boost). These are nothing but pure sugar material.I drank up most of them in my childhood but now I despise them.
Kudos to such videos for showing the true situation in our country
Love and support❤
Tougher measures. India has shown they have it in them, to get tougher when needed. So it would be great to see them rise and be more healthy. Or else any future growth will be more of a struggle to maintain
i mean EVERYTHING is cooked with 40Liters of oil and butter..... soooooo yeahhhh
I m watching this while sitting in Domino's 😅😅😅
It is truly baffling how in a country where a large portion of the population is starving, there is an obesity problem.
This is the biggest indicator of a huge wealth gap and class gap within the country.
Yes, only amongst well off people
When I was a kid & I visited my grandparents in India, they lived in a village and they milked cows, eggs, and bought beef and fish at the farmers market. They cooked fresh every day and never had left overs. There was barely any trash but then plastics and convenient fast prepackaged food comes in and cancer rates skyrocket.
Mean reason is disruption of joint family concet..
Fantastic. I love the fact that you never mentioned:
1) The Bengal Famine was caused by the British rule over India, and their extremely gross practices used on the people of India, and
2) The famines caused epigenetal changes in the sugar holding capacity of famine stricken Indians, increasing it far too high for the calorie in taking population that we have in India now.
It is definitely a Very informative video, showing all sides of the story. Love it
Hats off to you,Bloomberg.
Not to rule out personal responsibility, but there are some really interesting studies into how even lab animals are getting fatter - so there’s something else going on
Food, take for example corn. Few companies produced this golden sweet corn, which is much calorie dense, this was meant to feed on pigs, so they can get more meat but when humans also got fatter since we also sometimes end up eating corn
A quick note for the editor - The keyboard is way too loud when you're changing frames. It's the most prevalent around 7:36.
Well they do live in a city named New Deli. Lots of food in a Deli.
Please don't say Bengal famine killed, say Winston Churchill killed by inducing famine. Westerns were real draconian in past
We made trains, automobiles, industrial production, electricity, the internet, space travel. Modern medicine, refrigerator, all forms of motored machine.
Western invented Haber Bosch process is probably there's 8 billion people
Haber bosch process, is our invention. That's why billions of people alive today
People who have extra money will buy more food. India is developing and people have more money. Don't blame the processed food only, many Indians just eat more Indian food which is very oily and fattening.
Yes sir the curries which we eat are very rich and high in calories
You are right .
@@Sss21288what is curries ?
Very informative and very serious of a disaster waiting to happen.
They should stop saying "Western food". It's American food. European diets are fine, the problem is the US, specifically 😄
@NiceGuy-cm2sk Italian Pizza is not American Pizza
No regulations that could remotely affect the consumption of refined sugar would ever come from Indian government. Because politicians and their families own most of India's cane sugar fields. Its like expecting US politician Manchin to implement regulations to reduce coal usage
This video was very interesting and informative
This is what happens when you Westernize the world.......
ngl the so called "traditional food" is also just junk. Carb and sugar heavy. Nothing nutritious. I've ditched indian food for the most part and have taken meat rich food and I cook. feeling better though!
I don't think its true. In my area everybody is generally lean, i see only few people overweight.
This is why I’m glad I was raised in a Mexican household, we mainly eat rice, beans, chicken, and many various items based around soups, tortillas, and other homemade foods.
Yes, I do believe junk food was given to people, as a way of combating long labor hours and constant physical activity, but at the cost of the health of people? That is ludicrous, at that point you’d be lucky enough to see the age of 60.
This is why I look into other cultures and see what other delicious foods can be made at home, it’s terrible that these artificial foods are being pushed upon the Indian populace, when I know for a fact that Indians have great home cooked meals, I’ve tried their homemade fruit smoothies and roti and it’s delicious.
This world needs to do better, we the people can fight for salvation! We can eat better, we can choose better options, we do not have to trade our health for easy access of food and terrible food at that.
Mexico and a lot of Latin American countries have an obesity problem tho. What explains that?
@@nicotinedealer7653 I guess the conclusion that either people are getting lazier, or people are just wanting an easy meal would be precise.
I think cooking is amazing, as it can be seen as an art form or genius innovation.
At the age of 15 I was learning how to make my own pizza at home, which is much healthier.
These days I mainly drink Water, coffee, and unsweet tea. Soda is absolutely terrible. As for dinking I only drink alcohol on special occasions.
You are ignorant of Mexicos HUGE problem
@@LS-im5ki Wdym? I mean, I've also looked into the water incident and how the corrupt government wants to push Coke over other products.
Usually within those vending machines, you will see about 7-8 coke products and two options for water.
For years Indian women who were disrespected and whose work was seen as having no value by the men, used to invest their time in cooking healthy meals at home. Now women have started going out to work and earning. So with more money and less time, children have more autonomy and they gravitate towards junk. I think now people are realizing the value of the unpaid work done by women folk in their homes.
Dear India Welcome to AMerica
Basically.
What people needs to understand is important of being active all the time. If you sit all day and don’t move your body, it does not matter what food you eat.
I have been eating all kind of food including fastfood and street food for whole my life and I was perfectly healthy. The moment I started working 9 to 5 and especially during lockdown when work from home was a norm, I started to gain weight significantly.
it absolutely does matter what you eat
why do you care about others
@@crescentmoon256 it's not out of concern. The information is but a gist of this individual's experiences. Through a lucky coincidence it has been made available to you. It is your choice to learn or not, and it's not the commentor's concern if you don't.
@@afj810 why do you think there is something to learn and if it's not out of concern why make a comment about "people need to understand"
This is false information. I’ve stayed home all day during periods of time in 2020 and still remained in shape, visible abs and everything. Even with minimal physical activity. The ingredients you consume and the quantity of it are the determining factor.
WHY is he doing surgery when he should be getting people to change their diets?

A burger with noodles on it? Yuck! It seems that as long as governments don't step in, the food industry will continue to make it harder for everyone to make smart choices. We are bombarded with ads, snacks of all kinds at the checkout, and every store we go into, regardless of whether it is a Home Depot store, a hardware store, pharmacy or grocery store. They all have junk food right in our faces. To get into line at Walgreens, you must walk past several tables of donuts, chips, racks of candy, sodas and gum. While you wait to check out, you have no choice but to look at all that stuff.
A country where higher management expect employees to work 70 hours a week and commute for 2-3 hours daily that for peanuts of a salary. Might be a controversial opinion but this is also a reason for rise obisity and consumption of fast food. FYI I am also one if these people.
needs to be a push for childhood physical fitness and a push into sports
You need to kick out American fast food restaurants and American junk food and keep eating your Indian delicious healthy food, and then you will never have no obese or sicknesses..
.
If all the Indian people are eating American junk food, what does that say about Indian food?
