It seams like someone asked a genie to end world hunger but didn’t specify how to do it
Wow that's profound statement
Except it didn't end.
What you described is the discovery of the Haber process in 1910. Artificial nitrogen fixation is a pillar of the modern world, but arguably allowed the two world wars to take place.
That's what you get for having Shantae grant your wishes.

Well actually...yeah you are right. The corporate giants are the AI here.
I will never get that big
I swear... that was the first thing that I thought as well while watching the obesity b roll.... damn.. my childhood nightmares might actually come true....
That movie was set in not so far away future on so many levels
At least we’re getting cute robots to bring us milkshakes 💀
I wonder if exposing all of this hidden corruption like he did in this episode is what got this show stopped. He’s dropping a LOT of truth and research here and in all his other episodes.
Definitely the case. Still not understanding how this gem was cancelled
That is sad
He cannot say the full truth because he can get in big trouble such as getting sued etc
But it is awesome that he is trying his best and that is what makes his videos amazing and entertaining
GO HASAN 😀❤️😀👏👏
@Aggy
He never mentioned having a high fat, low carb diet and whole milk for vitamins so that the body can burn of belly fat. We were doomed to an obese society when we declared war on animal fat and not smoking.
The only Americans that comprehended the truth and took decisive action unfortunately were of the corporate kind.
@@giantsr1eva you think people should smoke?
this show is criminally underrated. he calls out international bullshit like no one else which is incredibly brave because hes probably on a list somewhere

Comedians are doing better research job than journalists. Corporate media needs to end.
No it needs ti reform
Honest question: most of the news clips are from these actual journalism groups. Does that not make a difference?
🙄🙄🙄 watch his episode on media and journalism
comedians are doing "slow journalism"... journalists are doing quick fastfood stuff.
is it same as scifi movies are fuel for engineers creating new things, comedians produce art for bored journalists?
I am Mexican, my family drank so much coke that literally my first word was "coca". Let that sink in.
indian american, my parents used to bottle feed me cola
@@vlonp u kidding right?
@Your Songs no one is forcing me to if thats what you mean, i like it
Coca cola has created diabetes all around the world.
@Your Songs I think you missed the part of the segment that spoke out about how many schools don't have water yet coca cola is readily available. The problem isn't that these people don't want water but a highly addictive sugary beverage that is main streamed into a country, is sourced out better than H2O and is causing very dramatic and dangerous effects that are covered up by pro-soda propaganda.
"This isn't about physical appearance or the cruelty of body image, this is about the health issues that come with being obese." This statement deserves more love! Shaming people who are obese/overweight for how they look is just bullying, and that's not okay, but at the same time, it is important to address these types of health issues. I've always thought of it as: if someone is overweight, it's never right to bully/shame them, but at the same time, I would never discourage them from pursuing a healthier lifestyle. The important part, though, is that THEY should want to do it for THEMSELVES ❤
It’s not your business what anyone does with their body though.
I know, I am overweight too and was mocked a LOT. I try to lose weight but it's really hard with PCOS and uncontrolled epilepsy, I can't go to the gym because the equipment is not safe for me or jogging because when I did I fell down. Whenever people would mock me I feel like I would have explain to them why I am overweight but I try not to do it anymore, so I can be more comfortable in my skin.

Im from South Korea, and when I first went to the US for vacation for a month, no offense, I was surprised at the portion sizes in the US and how much salty and sweet they are than in Korea (which has a cuisine that loves spicy, sweet, salty, and combinations of these) and other countries that I have been to. At first, I thought it was only the burgers and fries and stuff, but it was everywhere. Even in Mcdonalds, I ordered the small coke size cup, and it was almost as huge as the large cup for Mcdonalds in Korea. Even the regular size serving of fries were more than regular for me. I enjoyed it at first but I felt sick and bad after a week and ended up searching for authentic Korean and Asian food after I got through the first week. I hope the medical and scientific community in the US gets the attention and backing it deserves without intervention from these companies in order to curb the obesity problem in the US and in neighboring countries.
we're starting to do this now, the problem is that they intentionally miss educate or lie. Our school food is all junk food and 'healthy' foods that our parents thought was healthy actually contain a lot of sugar. Add that we're all working so much that we don't have time to cook and now most don't know how to cook.
It wasn't untill it was the lockdowns and working from home that more people started to learn how to cook.
same lol I'm Indian and the first time I visited the states I was shocked by the potion sizes. I was skinny and slim before I went there and after I went there I had gained quite a bit of weight in the first two months, like around 10 pounds, maybe more idk. And its not like I didn't much in India, even here I ate a lot, and a LOT of junk food, but nothing made me gain weight like the food in America. Its funny cuz I've been slim all my life even though I ate a lot and barely exercised but a single trip to America changed that and made me kinda chubby.
Glad you came to visit us anyways. 🇺🇸❤️🇰🇷
Ok I am Indian and a close friend of mine studies in USA and I felt horrified when they told me that they eat burgers, nuggets, French fries or pizza as school lunch. I was like wtf? I mean I cannot even imagine that school lunches can actually be junk food. My school lunch was always rice and some side dishes or sandwiches sometimes. haha, no wonder they are lil bit obese considered to our Asian countries.
Lol south korea is something the majority of south koreans I have seen are thin and fit or not that chubby
BRUH, people smuggling KFC is literally a south park episode

So basically india will have both hunger and obesity problem by 2025.....
Yes it's the double burden of malnutrition.... obesity and under -nourishment
Being fat and have sufficient nutrition are two very different things. A person can weigh 200 kilos and still be malnourished. It's not a a super common thing, but with food having more and more artifical components, substitutes, etc. it is slowly becoming more common.
@@armedwombat6816 i said hunger ...... malnutrition is another issue of course
Rich vs poor or hunger vs obesity will be right index to distinguish between two indians.
Yep!
There's a reason why Indian parents say, "Don't eat junk food, eat your daal."
They saw it coming !!
India also has a protein deficiency. Average Americans get 100 grams of protein a day but Indians only get 20-30
@Mm actually why are indians overweight without much fast food
@Kaushal Batavia Also oil and salt is present in a lot of Indian foods which help cause obesity.
@Kaushal Batavia Don't blame it on vegetarianism. Chicken toh roti/rice ke Saath hi khaate honge na.
I had a professor, he once shared a study, I don't remember the sources he quoted but it goes like this,
Us Indians under British rule were badly exploited the British ofcourse. During that phase out people were being stripped out of wealth and land, poverty increased by ten folds and resources kept diminishing, the great Bengali famine is a great example where food grains were sent to troops fighting in World War and Millions of people died in Hunger.
Hunger became a big issue throughout the country. Our ancestors were becoming physically frail. While cooking Rice when you wash it, the starchy water was preserved and was consumed the next morning as getting food one time a day was all they could get. That's how living used to be.
Historically, he claimed, our bodies tend to store carbohydrates a lot more since food was so scarce back then but after Independence as India gets more and more modern the genetics starts to show up when carbs are consumed in large amount. The people born in 1960s 1980s are prime example basically most of our our Batch's parents generation. Which is why us Indians usually have tummies, but not observed hands or stuff.
XxxxxxxxxxX
Things are changing now. There is almost no relation with being vegetarian or not. The amount of Rice and Rotis we eat matter more.
Our grandparents who worked in farms are frail or strong(as we are improving) and coke doesn't even damage them more than a ant bite. But us who live in cities, better walk daily.
Dals/Pulses and Soya chunks are pretty good for protein and some people consume non fertilized eggs too.

"There's more Coke in mexico than coke. "

Maybe they should start putting coke back into Coke.
@@handlemonium It would offset the weight gaining. Or maybe speed would be better for weight loss, IDK.

Or his robotic body language
Hassan also does activism part-time. He went to the Committee of Financial Services hearing to voice his support for Student Loan Debt forgiveness. You should hear him talk seriously about shit. It's really respectable what he does outside of his usual show.

Being told that “you can eat anything as long as you exercise” damaged my eating habits so bad as a child (along with other factors). And when I knew I was overweight I had no idea how to lose it because all I was told was to exercise and the thing is I was a *very* active kid especially in the summer because I lived in Alaska and the sun would be up all night and day so that meant more play. It wasn’t until I *finally* discovered calorie counting that I was able to lose weight, but still I’m trying to recover because those eating habits have been so drilled into my brain from such a young age, if underfeeding a child is abuse then so should overfeeding. And now we have “fat acceptance” running rampant
I agree with "fat acceptance", I just would call it something more dignified. The idea of the "full-figured woman" evolved into "everyone is beautiful in their own way", in reality, it's marketing for the ever-increasing overweight and obese population. Of course, a person can be attractive and overweight, but the point is the health equity of maintaining a healthy weight. Nobody asks the large model what her blood pressure is.
Yah I’m happy the latest research is finally coming out that clearly shows eating too much is clearly the reason behind obesity and now there’s intermittent fasting and Mediterranean diets to help lose weight in a healthy way.
I never knew a day would come that their was an advantage to being in a third world country... A variety of very healthy Fresh food is super cheap, junk food is costly in comparison...
No shade but anytime I think of moving to a place like America, I think of all the good food I'd be leaving back home.
@@kap849 there's more than just mcdonalds and taco bell in usamerica but I'm sure your country's food is dank as well. So many cultures come here and share their food that you can really get any type of food if you're in a major city.
The Western countries are the actual third world, we eat healthy and our food does not contain chemicals and we could choose between herbal care or modern hospital plus our government don't control our lives even though they're corrupt(by the westerners) we're blessed with good soil and natural resources

Just existing in America will make you fat. You don't even need to try.
I'm mexican-american and the impact of coke on our culture is no joke, even just from first hand experience. my grandpa used to work in a coke factory in mexico and eventually just a couple years ago he died from diabetes. whenever I would go to visit family in mexico, it would be more common for us to drink coke than water with our meals. It's really dystopian how much this large corporation and many others just like it have over the world.
I'm so thankful to my Mom, She gives us a home cooked meal ❤
A hardworking lady and after watching ur vedio now I understand why my mom always stop me to not eat that waste.
I'm greatful😊
Indian mom would beat and whop you black and blue for eating junk, I am in my 30s , my mom still scolds me for eating pizza sometimes, see stops me from eating outside when my wife gone to her parents. yeah we have house rule of no coke or pepsi.
home cooked meals can be worse than takeout (such as from chopt or sweetpea salad options). i see plenty of families using butter up the wazoo in "home cooked meals" and similar other high saturated fats

@@we8608 bro I know. Loads of people who aren't happy with their physical health/appearance these days have a very antagonizing outlook on anyone who looks like they lift or do sports.

Obesity Epidemic: I'm gonna f***k the world!!!
Co***'19 : Hold my bear.
The problem is that obesity creeped in slowly, barely undetected at first. As it rise, people just keep telling other people to eat better and exercise.
Covid is sudden, fast paced, shocking, and quickly turns fatal.
Both are lethal but the first is normalized nowadays. And I'm saying this as an overweight who just stepped into thr obese realm. Obviously I don't like fat shaming, but I've now realized that accepting plus size shouldn't be a thing either.

Man and I thought the Philippines' obesity rate was something to fear, truth is we've not been hit so hard but it's still not great. The poor get poorer and are forced into buying cheap, not as good food that's bad for them
In India, we only eat home made food, so we aren't that obese
pls ignore the 7 coke stalls near the Yamuna Expressway
In Zimbabwe people usually can't afford to eat takeout on a regular basis
I lived in the Philippines for 2 years. Eating white rice 3 times day is killing the people.The diabetic wards in the hospitals are full of diabetics with amputated legs. White rice is carbs which turn to sugar. More fruit and veges and ditch the rice or eat brown rice...
Honestly, I appreciate my parents not allowing any of us any soda or carbonated drink until we finished HS. So none of us developed a taste for it. It's the older ones in the family like my grandparents and dad who crave cola but us 'kids' would rather have water 🤣

You can't tell people they're not getting enough exercise while the food you're providing them gives them no nutritional value
Really? Providing? Go to any grocery store. Buy some greens and veggies. Also pick up some lean meat. It's still cheaper than munching on burgers. All the healthy food is readily available and accessible to practically anyone who has a basic job and cooking skills. We all can lead a healthy life style.
No, the truth is, most Americans are too freaking lazy to cook, and couldn't so much as boil water, let alone cook. Who is being forced to buy hot pockets, pizzas, cereal, doughnuts, candy, hot dogs, white bread. People don't give a shit. They want to eat what is bad for them
@@dimr1088 Indeed, it really comes down to misinformation and lack of education. Corporate cannot have a population that sees through the veil of capitalism, otherwise the dream does not work. Best to keep the people with a blindfold on and keep marketing that 'American Dream'
@@dimr1088 Fresh food spoils, and a lot of it takes time and equipment to process correctly. Cheap stuff like ready make mac n' cheese is cheaper, more shelf stable, and easier to prepare making it more preferential for poorer people who are also strapped for time.

I love all the Patriot Act episodes. I feel you are bold, unfiltered, unbiased, got an ease of presentation of the content. You should dub the show in different languages just so that the content reaches all different audiences in the world and pull them out of ignorance.
Hope down the line few years later, Patriot Act - India/ Patriot Act - China/ Patriot Act - Brazil does bold shows on local issues and so on.
At least put a caption of the other languages. which is available on Netflix already.
That’s really hard to do with comedy, since direct translations of jokes seems to often ruin then.
He is not really unbiased. Have you seen his India episode? He cited wrong facts and exonerated the supreme court of India.
Unbiased? As I watch this, just in the last minute he said that Samoa was being "force"-fed turkey meat and with no evidence implied that their obesity problem is because of it. And that the big powerful nations are evil for requiring a country to allow free trade of food if they want to be part of a... free trade agreement. This particular meat should be illegal, it is implied. Which also implies that people shouldn't be allowed to eat what they want. There's a lot of funny and informative things in this show but it's very biased.
Go to Hotstar and watch On Air with AIB and come back here again.
"Just because people are getting more calories, doesn't mean that they are getting more nutrition"
That's so true. It's not only the obesity that is the problem, it's the low nutritious food, that can also cause health issues if you aren't obese.
My father for example is 50 yrs old and is dealing with diabetes type 2. He was never even overweight, he struggled with overeating unhealthy foods his entire life, but stayed slim cause he was very active. He isn't obese, but still has the same issues as a morbidly obese person would have.

That's why y'all need spices. Like in India, we eat vegetables with added spices and different currys, atleast it's better than eating sugar your whole life
Y’all should try Asian spices. Even American food is bland
I'm Aussie and I thought we had a lot of junky food. It goes to show how bad the U.S.A is if you think food here tastes bland.
American food has taste? That's news to me.

A few months ago, cinemas in my country were bought by a US financial group and they supersized EVERYTHING on the menus. People are going "are these American sized? haha..". It's depressing to see. People don't even finish their snacks anymore, they leave it half eaten in the auditorium.
We do that in the us too
It's still more than you'd eat if the containers were normal sized
Hey. You gonna finish that barrel of popcorn?
Oh, You are one of THOSE who eat in movies...
Serving sizes in cinemas are small and expensive here, like a small bag of popcorn like you'd buy from a grocery store.
What country?
Thank you, Hasan, for spreading the word about this important issue!
There is nothing healthy about American Diet! I am proud of our diverse Indian food and produce 🇮🇳
I hate to break it to you but the Indian diet has a ton of oil and sugar
@@annushankar3032 Sugar and Oil can be moderated as per Individual preference and also be replaced with healthy alternatives like Ghee and Jaggery! That doesn’t make the Indian diet unhealthy!
@@annushankar3032 in occasional treats yes, but by and large it’s based on plants and fresh products
Yes everyday indian food plate is 90 % fresh veggies , or even fresh chicken or meat, we don't have canned food culture.
Should have mentioned the use of coke as a pesticide by indian farmers i bet everyone would have been shocked.
I know people that use coke to clean their toilets and bidets.
we use coke to loosen hard screws
Not really
Umm... i actually don't know much about that, are there any good sites to learn about it through?
Should have mentioned their union busting tactics that allegedly include murder.
They tried dunkin donuts to be India's breakfast.
Oh they failed in that area. Thank goodness😌
Indians got Jalebi for ages and never made it their breakfast, so yeah Dunkin was destined to fail, they should have done better research
Indians don't eat sweet things in the morning.
I once got addicted to their hot chocolate. Then I realized it was all sugar and fat
Indian food is not healthy
Bemnet Gizachew yeah the crappy Indian food that you eat in your country is not! Real Indians eat healthy.
I live in America and this is why I obsessively read ingredient lists in grocery stores, so much so that my friends thought I had food allergies. If you want to get around an advertisement, then think about the making of the ad or other observations (ex: make of the car, what the actor may be thinking about personally, why they chose that storyline, potential bloopers in the making, etc.) that are not the point that the advertiser wants you to think about. Then the ad doesn’t have as much influence.
I’m so glad my parents would only allow me to drink soda on special occasions (like parties) when I was younger. Because now I don’t even enjoy it that much and I only drink it a few times a year. I think it’s because I never got addicted to it or anything like that, therefore I don’t really feel any pleasure from drinking it.
This makes me really appreciate that my mom didn’t let us drink high fructose corn syrup sodas as kids, never got into the habit of having a Mountain Dew with every meal like my last roommate.
I got bored with the bland flavor of high fructose sodas
I'm really glad I've never been able to stand the carbonation in sodas
Same! As a kid I hated it but it's so important!
I havent had soda or Kool Aid in years, just water and smoothies now
I agree, it’s a lot easier when you don’t even like the taste of soda

I have a corn allergy. When I found out why I was so sick and stopped eating and drinking anything with corn or high fructose corn syrup in it, I lost 60 lbs. I think that says something.
Sike!.. all you had to do was exercise more instead of cutting down corn syrup. That's what "research" shows.
It's more complex than just calories or exercise. I'd implore you to go watch the documentary "Fed Up" since it delves further into the science of eating junk foods.
I'm Italian and I lived in the US for a semester, I don't drink sodas and I was also forced to make everything I ate from scratch because of the insane ingredients packaged items had. It was crazy to me
Did that work out well? I wish you the best. I know it must have not been easy.
yet US has most immigrants
they have to listen to the advantages of other countries
🇺🇸🇮🇹🇯🇵🇩🇪
Shivani Shastri i enjoy cooking a lot, but it was soo expensive. In Italy the “raw materials” as veggies/fruits and everything else is way cheaper, especially if you buy at the farmers market where you can be sure that everything is grown without chemicals
Nonsense. Italy is 10 times worse! Everything is made from butter, meat, bread and cheese. And sugar. Croissants and cappuccino for breakfast. I tried to find healthy options to eat at the Autogrill and even the Carrefour on the Autostrada - nothing but meat, cheese and carbs. I lost weight on my last Italy trip because I could not stomach all of that heavy, processed Italian crap.
hejiranyc I agree that pre made food is very unhealthy everywhere, but also Italian people don’t actually eat like that. Also autogrill has the worst food selection and I never eat there, I always pack my food when I travel. The fact that you didn’t enjoy the food might also be that you are not used to certain ingredients! Sorry to hear you didn’t have a good time in my country, I hope that that experience doesn’t discourage you to try new Italian food!
Brilliant - disguising such an important topic as comedy. People engage instantly. No-one wants to face the harsh truth in the form of a documentary or news, but they love a good comedy act. Good job, Hasan!
HI
If you would feel free to watch my one and only video on my channel and help spread the word on why obesity should be discouraged greatly please feel free to click to my upload and give it what you feel it deserves! Sry for no link yt auto deletes post lol
Thank you for this🙏🏼 Netflix needs to bring this show back ASAP
Honestly, the biggest, and BEST thing you can do, is stop drinking sugary sodas. It's not even that hard and makes the biggest difference. Even if you don't stop frequenting fried chicken, pizza or taco chains, you'll be making a huge difference from just that much. And then you can start mending those habits too later on.
You'll actually feel the difference, by feeling more lively and energetic. It helps a ton.
Pepsi max is honestly like drinking a refreshing glass of alcohol to an addict to me or something. I smile just from smelling the bubbles.
But I stopped because meh. I was scaling up my consumption from one glass with dinner anyway. Water and tea is all I got now and it sucks but it's not really a problem. You can't get that tired from water.
TessellatedGuy it helps a ton. Good one.
@@accuratealloys It's true though, but obviously it'll also depend on how much soda you were drinking. If it was rarely, then yeah, it'll make much less of a difference than if you were chugging 2 or 3 cans every single day.
There's a reason it's marketed to kids. Get them addicted when young. I grew up in the country and didn't have it, am 52, actively avoided giving it to my kids. Unfortunately many healthy food is very expensive in the cities.
That is why everytime i order burger, i ask whether i can change soda into water. And if i get the soda, i will bring back at home to wash my rusty pan and pot

True in India 😒
I'm a US citizen, and you are correct.
Many people here are unhappy and struggling to make ends meet in a rat race culture that treats us like cattle. Many more just can't make ends meet and become homeless.
Love Patriot Act! People need to educate themselves about issues similar to this. You're doing a great job!
They're trying to be Last Week Tonight, but their research isnt quite up to snuff. Dont depend on this as your only source of information; youre not getting the full story
So you allow comedians to educate you? 😂 explains a lot.
@@moara4144 Of course it's not the only source to get information, but it's a good start I guess.
@@Hewhoislikegod0 Of course I do. I only listen to comedians to get my information. Every other source of information is rigged. I am just clueless about world news because all I ever listen to is comedy, right? Seems you nailed it, you know me very well there :)
I'm glad that this brings awareness to social justice issues that aren't what Americans might normally think of as social justice issues! My job is in agriculture and it bugs me that so many people don't think about where their food comes from. I'm glad the topic was brought up in a setting that so many people are now able to see, though I would like more on what the average person can do (I went vegetarian and stopped buying milk for the most part until I find a supplier who doesn't treat their cows like machines, and I limit sugar intake because the sugar industry has so much power). And I buy lots of organic foods and from local producers and am willing to put a lot of my free time into cooking. People who have enough money and time have an obligation to vote with their dollar!
3:33 I love this bit. Thank you, Hasan Minhaj.
Polynesian obesity has a lot to do with traditionally farming and fishing people switching to processed foods like corned beef and tin fish, then doing more sedentary jobs. So we eat heavy starches like taro and cassava and add it with heavily salted and fatty canned meat. Obesity and heart disease is a big problem in a lot of Polynesian islands, not just Samoa
Start eating like traditional chinese. We have all your foods.
I think he talks about Samoa because Americans are familiar with American Samoa as well as the independent state of Samoa.
Wow you can even see how all the flaps are sent to the Pacific Island suburbs in South Auckland where I often shop. It is a horrible concept that our trade deals have manipulated a whole culture and caused health problems that have become a leading cause of death.
Retro Gamer I’ve read that Laos is very healthy
@@NickOloteo their food is probably more organic. American food is processed.
@Zameen Z what else is predicted in your religion, enlighten us, please.
Can we stop calling it "funding research" when a company produces self-serving scientific studies. They're just shoving misinformation down our throats. Even if you're criticizing it, by calling it "funding research", you're giving corporations way more credibility than they deserve.
True ...Americans don't get a dollar in return for their investment in such 'research'
I work at a university. Sadly, new PhDs earn so little that some will take a grant from anyone. Imagine spending eight or more years and $100K+ to get your education and everyone is offering you $40K or less to work more than 40 hours a week, to the glory of the professor that employs you, because without that person's grant you can't ensure the continuation of your own employment and research. I'm not defending people who take the bait, but I sure can sympathize. It's why I didn't pursue a doctorate myself. I already was working for a university and was looking at the budget out of curiosity. When I saw that executive admin assistants were making more than some of the faculty. I changed my career goals quickly.
"Even if you're trying to eat healthy, you cannot get away from corn syrup" Not true. Don't eat processed food that comes in boxes. Eat whole foods in their whole form.
I know right, it takes discipline but once you've avoided processed garbage food and soda for awhile you get used to eating whole foods and don't even crave that shit anymore. I drink only water and coffee.
Just found this. Love it. Informative and funny.
Used to work for Starbucks in Austria and first time costumers were either shocked or just downright disgusted by the sizes and how much syrup/sweetener goes into their drinks.
Rosalie Jackman but they loves it don’t they 😜
@rewer, No we Austrians don't love Starbucks. We got something called "Kaffeehauskultur", which is way better than that stop and go coffee from sb
Honestly how many Starbucks are there even in Austria? I've only ever seen one in Vienna, can't be too many around xD
Selina Radpolt there are about a dozen in Vienna and three in Salzburg that’s it. Tourists love it, cause it’s familiar but Austrians tend to avoid it.
@@rewer nope, Starbucks is doing really badly in Austria.
Actually, McCafe is doing better than Starbucks. Probably bc our maths education is better than in the US - *if* we're going to have just a quick to go coffee (which is totally against Austrian coffee culture), then at least we want it to be cheap. McCafe is about half the price (or even less) than Starbucks and the coffee isn't bad either bc AFAIK McD buys it's coffee from Eduscho/Tchibo (which is a big coffee selling chain here).

The labeling law in Mexico was approved, if anyone is interested
That's good 👍
Yes, as a Mexican I am so proud. Junk food is literally killing people.
It's a complicated issue, nevertheless. It seems it oversimplifies matters and can make for misleading claims. I've yet to see the new labels in action, though. Regards from Mexico City.
@@jordisod I'm also from Mexico City, the companies were given till October of this year to change their labels

My mom got addicted to coca cola and drank almost every single day of atleast 2 cans. She got diabetes and died 5 years ago. This was a lesson for me that sugar will kill me if eat or drink too much. I got rid of processed sugar completely in my diet to save myself 20 years from now.

- Global grain and oilseed demand surges due in part to large purchases on the global market by U.S.S.R.
- Shift from gold standard to fleeting exchange rate results in decline in value of the dollar and rise in U.S exports.
- Global production shortfalls due to adverse weather conditions.
- Price support policies that subsidized the idling of cropland in the U.S and other exporting countries.
