Never in all its history has America been so obese. 160 million Americans are severely overweight. Faced with this staggering figure, healthcare professionals are trying to find new, more efficient and more aggressive treatments for this illness.
The rising obesity crisis has given momentum to the relatively new movement of body positivity. Through lucrative social media accounts, popular magazine covers and even successful 'Miss Plus' beauty pageants, overweight Americans are learning to flaunt their curves and love themselves no matter their size.
It is a choice not an illness.

@@kr23777 Absolutely wrong. Please see my comment under the OP itself.
Body positivity is insane. You're not finding yourself, you're finding diabetes. Stop eating processed food and get healthy.
Saying it's unfair having to pay for 2 seats on an airplane when you're literally taking up 2 seats makes no sense
Exactly. The obese are preventing someone else from buying that seat, so they should be paying
They call it entitlement 😂😂
im sure they can pay for livestock crate, can be moved with a forklift
Well when you’re two people what do you expect.
What's gross is to have someone's fat spilling over the arm rest.
BEING OBESE SHOULD NOT BE GLAMORIZED OR NORMALIZED EVER !!!
It has been nowadays
We're at the end of days. All the 7 deadly sins are now normalized, promoted and accepted. This is sloth, gluttony and for the body positive movement pride as well.
@@chrisblaisdell6255enough with the end of days bs..
People have been spewing that nonsense for decades..
Yes it should be. I'm thin but everyone is different. Who am I to judge?
@@chrisblaisdell6255 Judgemental much??😂
I was obese for a few years. My doctor kept telling me to lose weight because diabetes, heart disease, etc. It took a medical emergency and the look of sheer horror in my families eyes as I lay in that hospital bed. I did a lifestyle change. No empty calories, soft drinks, beer, juices, and sugary coffees and donuts goodbye! Wouldn't you know it? The weight started coming off! I took exercising and meal prepping for my togo and work meals. Lost all the weight, got into great physical shape. At nearly 50, I am in the best shape of my life! Made the change 14 years ago, and now it's just how ai live.
congratulations!
Quite simple, really, isn't it ?
@misanthrophex Yes and no. Lifestyle change can be difficult for some. The motivation has to be there, and the discipline has to remain for life. But, it is definitely doable for all.
@@80sriceman the solutions usually are simple - meaning not complicated Simple doesn’t mean easy cuz it ain’t.
I am Italian and i eat at McDonalds, once a week, a salad with fried chicken and my daughter, chicken bites and fried potatoes and after yoghurt or a slice of ananas.
I drink water, she a small orange juice.
I think it's important not to go every day to eat fast food, just in rare occasions, maximum once a week.
I'd die couldn't eat fresh vegetable or fruit for more then 2 days.
Taking up two seats for the price of one is an injustice. Sitting beside someone that takes up their seat and half of yours is an injustice
There's a McDonald's, a Burger King, a Taco Bell, a KFC....yes, but is there a SUPER MARKET?? I'm overweight and only have myself to blame. We're not victims. We're lazy. It's a battle, but we need to take responsibility for our choices.
There is a responsibility to yourself to have a better diet...but, if the food that is everywhere, and advertised everywhere, and advertised as good and healthy, and saves time, and is affordable, it can't just be down to the individual to make better choices. It is even aimed at children, who grow up thinking that this is fine, because they have always been told it is fine, even good, even our governments are part of the problem here, they are aware of the problem, but keep taking money from the big food lobbyists, and allow the high fat, high sugar, high chemical based foods to flood our markets,
@@lukekey Children? I cannot believe you say "it can't just be down to the individual to make better choices!!?!" There's actually no debating people like you because this is the weakest and most pathetic statement I have heard in years.
I mostly agree, but its not one or the other. We can live in a world that is set up to allow people to eat themselves to death so companies can profit. This is wrong. And also person responsibility is a major factor. Honestly fast food is a bad system since they cant even afford to pay their employees a living wage while offering cheap calorie dense food that even poor people can afford to eat regularly. I think both these companies and the people who are being "lazy" and not taking care of themselves have a lot of room for improvement.
dont say that. These companies put stuff in the food to make you addicted. Also they take fiber out to make you eat more. Its not there fault its the fault of the cartel relationship between food companies and government.
It doesn't matter. Please see my comment under the OP to understand why even your better habits aren't going to save you after all, and no, that's not your fault.
Why cant the body positivity embrace fit and healthy bodies? Imagine starting a alcoholic acceptance movement instead of helping alcoholics recover.
Superbly said! There's literally NO difference.
We're in the end of days. Just look at society. All the deadly sins are pushed and accepted.
Well, bars promote drinking. So thats like an alcoholic's Heart Attack Grill 🤷♀️ arguments for both sides, on both topics, exist within society. You just have to know where to look
It was meant to be about people with deformed body's or embracing disabilities possibly birth defects, post motherhood and people who lost weight having a lot of excess skin or something. Like people with different body types that didn't fit "beauty standards." It's become a slippery slope that spawned it's evil twin "Fat Positivity." Sure, love yourself but when you do, you will naturally manifest slimming down. Otherwise Obesity is personal denial.
Brilliant metaphor
As a nurse looking after heavier patients put us at risk too. Imagine if the nurses are this big too how are we going to help our patients?
That ‘restaurant’ is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard. That Americans think this is a great idea & support it is mindblowing
Agreed. But big bucks are at play so it’s OK then I guess, smh.
Funny how it used to be that the rich were fat and the poor were skinny. Now it’s the other way around
Yes🎉
Why is someone else's weight funny there are rich and poor people of all sizes , source?
Not funny or even ironic. It's about "food deserts" where there's no access to affordable healthy food. Also, if you buy or grow and cook your own food, you're still not safe. See my comment under the OP to understand why.
The rich were fat when food was scarce, so you had to have money to eat well, and those with money didn't need to slave away so they were more sedentary.
The poor are fat now because good healthy food is scarce, so you have to have time/money to cook, eat well, and you probably need to be wealthy to 'afford the time' to play sports, exercise, overall have healthy hobbies, whilst those working 2-3 jobs don't.
ETA: just because I can empathize and rationalize this doesn't mean I'M a fat person giving 'excuses' lmao
@@WandernHunger yep. Well explained.
Allowing children to be obese should be considered child abuse. At the very least it should be considered criminal for our schools to feed what they do to children.
Unfortunately, schools are trying to find ways to cut spending, and junk food is one way to do that. The children would be better if they ate more real, nutritional food.
@emem2863 maybe if we start calling it a war on ignorance they will find the money for education.
allowing them to eat meat should be considered animal abuse
@BenjoCovers Allowing them to eat plants should be plant abuse.
@@emem2863 And why would i care about plant abuse? Nobody does, not even the plant, bc its not conscious, its just an object. Like my computer, it can react to my inputs but its still not conscious
That restaurant is quite disturbing
“The plus size community is ‘growing’”
Fat means unhealthy. Accommodating obesity is enabling. Usually a normal person would wake up and realise this is humiliating and I must do something to improve my health.
The heart attack grill disgusts me. Glorifying obesity disgusts me. This country is doomed.
If obesity wasn't a problem in our country it would just be a funny novelty. It's not the restaurants problem that our food industrial complex is crooked and that our citizens are dying.
Would it be though? What's novel about overconsumption or unnecessary food waste? It's inane
I find it weird. The fact that many of the customers could be wearing a hospital gown getting real bypasses and being in fear and mortal danger. And the sexualisation too is weird.
It is a clever marketing strategy to be controversial but i coukd see that restaurant being looked back on in the future like how we look back on radium water as a medicine or leeching.
@@zanym8088 Novel means unusual, odd, unique and this restaurant is novel enough to have several documentaries about it. Understand language. You don't have to agree with its message but this restaurant is a novelty only in tourist places.
Relax. People go there for fun. Have some fun yourself.
He's not a victim of fast food, he's a victim of lack of self control.
indeed! I'v got a McDonald's at a 5 min distance from my apartment, yet I think I can count on one hand the amount of times I've visited it over the past 3-4 years. Stop complaining about fast food restaurants when you can go also just COOK.
They're not victims. They're tied to the ease/convenience of fast food. I started going to the gym 4 - 6 times a week and staying away from fast food. It's definitely harder/ time-consuming to cook healthy. I've lost 20 lbs over the last 4 months, which isn't easy because even products that say they're healthy aren't truly healthy.
Exactly 💯
i never eat fast food. Ate it as a kid, then when i became an adult, never occured to me i should eat hamburgers or pizzas (yes, i don't even eat pizza). I substitute that with whole fried potatoes or frozen fruits if i have the urge to munch. But of course my main meals are different kinds of soups and a shitload of fish and salads.
Addiction is a very real thing that a massive percentage of humans currently struggle with. Whether it's food, alcohol, drugs, sex, social media etc., what can start out as innocuous pleasures can slowly (or quickly) become a problem. When certain chemical pathways develop in your brain, it's a huge undertaking to re-establish healthier habits.
I really dislike this mindset of 'lack of self control'. As animals, we want to feel good, and we want high calorie food. Clearly what has happened in the US is a societal problem and solely blaming the individual for their moral failings is pretty lame. I'm not saying the individual isn't responsible, but the greatly society and culture strongly factors into all this. Wildly overprescribe opiates? You get people addicted to opiates. Apps designed to constantly feed us videos? You get people who spend hours everyday doom scrolling. Create a culture based on driving, consumerism, both parents working and heavily advertised fast food? Of course you're going to get people addicted to food.
$30,000.00 for the school for overweight teenage girls and the best breakfast they could do was cornflakes, milk and banana??
Yeah, definitely a rip-off.
bwahahaha
Their workouts were mediocre too...
Yep, teaching them to eat a high sugar diet....disgraceful.
The fat you eat is the fat you wear
Being fat is “cute” until you can’t walk and take care of yourself and have chronic pain and cardiovascular disease and diabetes. I’ll pass!
I agree. Its sad seeing fat positivity influencers die in their 30s and 40s. I think we should help overweight people feel normal and human so they aren't deterred from going to the gym or seeing doctors and nutritionists. We shouldn't demonize fat people but also don't allow people to lie and say you can be "healthy at any size" when after maybe 300 pounds there are serious health risks and mobility limitations.
Its like we can only eat so much food in a lifetime and if when you are 30 you already ate 100 years worth of food, its game over.
But it's not just a matter of saying "I'll pass". Unless you are raised with a healthy diet and have no cravings, your mind can't resist processed food and your body will constantly lead you astray.
I'm not fat and I have all of the above plz explain how that works for a 5ft6 9stone woman

@@britzeneWhen a person can be happy about "winning" by being able to eat donuts while doing so, and nit think about being around for your kids.. That's some kind of (toxic) positivity, that.
I had a stroke in sept, at the age of 50. I was 236lbs at 5'2. In 8 months I'm down to 170 and dropping. I live a low carb life style, no way I'm going back to eating junk. The SAD (standard american diet) is a death sentence. I feel good I now get out 3 days a week and walk 4 to 10 miles, depending on how I feel. I couldn't walk a full mile a year ago. I have a rare burger but it's bunless and I never eat processed oils. I'm no longer a type two diabetic, I feel so much better. I look so much better. I can't wait until I'm done with my transformation. It feels wonderful.
Good for you. Majority from the 90's on got more fat/obese over time caused by a change in dietary recommendations from mostly meat, eggs, fish, dairy, fat with sides of veg and the odd dessert to mostly veg, grains, legumes, veg oils and fruit. Started I believe because a few US Senators eating way too much rich food had heart attacks and colleagues wanted answers. Plenty of plant based advocates and cereal manufacturers willing to put their hands up and take the funds to produce studies saying what they wanted to hear. The theory being lower calories, plenty of undigestible expelled fibre will 'fix' all issues. Most not enjoying the diet add processed or swapped to processed. This experiment is a massive disaster.
I was 236 lbs 6 years ago. I lost my car and had to start taking the bus. Which ment I had to walk outside in the heat of Florida. I got down to 150,lbs . Today I've gained 20lbs back. It's very scary. There are 2 reasons I feel are why . The first one is I started taking Uber more . Which ment I'm not walking as much and the second is stress. I know that when I'm financially stressed out I snack more. So not exercising like I was has also added to my stress because I'm not releasing the stress. So I got terrified of putting on to much weight so I started taking the bus at least one to three times a week. I've been trying to cut sugar out but I'm so addicted to it that I get headaches and sometimes I feel lightheaded. So that's a work in process. I definitely don't want to gain anymore weight so I have to put in the work even when I don't want to. Especially when I don't want to 😊
@@kristenwebb672, The addiction is real. I cut all sugar out in sept. I'm a work in progress. I just keep reminding myself of the feeling of the stroke. It really sucked and scared me.
Resilience !!
Congratulations….. it’s not about health for the food industry, it’s about wealth….. Society eats way too many carbs and sugar!!!! It’s sad… (Standard American Diet)
"I can eat a dounut (and be in a pagent)" ...that is a very telling sentence This whole body positivity movement is accepting ill health not size ...and how is it OK to be unhealthy!!
So it's like ...I cannot fit in a seat...I am not healthy ...I cannot walk ...but the world has to understand and adjust or its discrimination !
“There are no healthy restaurants!” is the laziest excuse ever. Cook healthy food at home like normal people do.
He also lives near a grocery store and can cook for himself. That's a wild lack of accountability on his own part.
I've seen the entire reality series on him and his family. he has the maturity, perspective, and life experience of a preteen.
You should see Casey now. He has lost all the weight and is doing very well.
Exactly. Where I live there are fast food places as well, but I never go there. Of course you are able to get fat on home cooked too, so really they just have all these bad habits of not taking care of themselves.
Cook healthy food. Of course you can get fat cooking at home if you cook unhealthy food.
The victim's mentality he had was ridiculous. Just because something is there doesn't mean you have to eat it.
I lost 80lbs in less than one year by just cutting out carbs and sugars, incorporating intermittent fasting, and exercising a few days out of the week. Save your money people!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What kind of carbs did you cut out 😊
What do you eat in a typical day. I want to lose wait, too.
Don’t be afraid of carbs. Try eating brown, red or black rice. Sweet potatoes are good too! They will keep you fuller for longer! I promise you that. Put some virgin coconut oil in your oats. That’ll keep you full for longer as well❤️ avocados are good too!
All the foods you listed would completely ruin the weight loss plan. But avocados on the other hand are 100% okay and recommended. @MichelleQuintiaVLOGS
Was watching this documentary while doing my workout. Thank God I had actually loving parents who made me a healthy person
Sexy & obese should never be used in the same sentence😮
Prime example, Biden and coherent
I'm fat. I cannot run. I cannot jump. I have difficulty with stairs and dancing. It is not fun. My knees hurt. Trust me, the fat positivity people in this video are leaving quite a bit out. I'm aiming to change things. My goal is to be able to run, jump, dance, do stairs and be free of knee pain. I also travel quite a bit and really do not want to be accommodated in fat. I'm losing weight.
good luck!
Your future you will thank you.
They are making money
Don't give up!!! you can do it!!!
wishing you all the success with getting ur health back. You will do great first step is admitting there's a problem
No matter what any body positivity person says, completely unhealthy to be obese and you will die early. Bigger you are the harder your heart has to work.
That’s on them though. If that’s how they choose to live then so be it.
but its still everyones own choice to be fat or healthy, they can do with their body what they want. The only important thing you are obligated to is not harming others with your daily food choices, so go vegan and leave the animals bodies alone
@@UnfilteredAmerica Many don't chosse to live like that tho. People need information and clear guidance even without personal trainers. The food industry should also be encouraged to produce healthier food.
@@UnfilteredAmerica not when taxpayers have to pay for their health care
@@BenjoCoversand when they get sick, where do they run to? Do u think all can afford to be hospitalized and pay for the bills? It will then be shouldered by the govt who got their funds from the people's taxes. Gets?
Heart attack restaurant ? Why pay to be hit by a paddle if you don’t finish your food ! 😮I truly don’t understand 🥺😔
Everyone forgot to take care of themselves. We have this one body, it’s our own job to take care of it.
As of December 2023, I was 93 kilos, just on the other side of Obesity. Today is May 26, 2024, I am 73 kilos.
bravo, that's an amazing feat! :) stay consistent and enjoy your new body and health!
That's too much weight loss in so little time. Anyways how tall are you?
@@seyiesetuosopfii3153 while it may seem like plenty, it's around 4kg per month. and this is if we don't take into consideration the initial water loss you get when you fix your diet... imo, it's on point - but a plateau is probably incoming. op, please beware and also consider your desired maintenance weight.
congrats again!
i second the height question. :)
God bless you on your journey ❤
Keep it up bruh. All your journey are history to your healthy.
Taking pride in ones body is important, taking care of your health is even more important.
You can do with your body what you want, the only important thing is to leave others bodies alone so go vegan and stop harming animals
@@BenjoCoversPlant based diet is the " best"...
@@nadiabrstak5646 Disagree! Plant based nearly killed me. Put me in a wheelchair and for 25 yrs I had to have a 'caregiver.' Went full carnivore in Oct of '23 and today I am down 80 lbs and walking without a walker or cane. Carnivore diet dropped my weight safely and healed tons of autoimmune diseases I had including and not limited to 'hashimotos thyroid disease.' Praise GOD FOR BEEF and fish and eggs & butter. I was NEVER hungry and it was SO EASY!!! At 66 yrs old I finally have my life back! Joining a gym this week!!!!
@@BenjoCovers plants are alive the same as animals. Eating bothis the natural order.
Obesity positivity is the most unhealthy mindset ive ever encountered
Yes it is, but also you should not be driven to HATE YOURSELF because you are obese! I strongly believe that nobody WANTS to be fat and unhealthy. I am an advocate for body neutrality. My body is what it is, and I do not have to hate myself, but I try to be healthier. But please! Do not shame fat people... I promise you they did not choose to be fat and obese.they are mostly just poor and lost and sad. We should not shame victims! We should help them.
@@lemcy1256 body neutrality is the best
This restaurant heart attack grill is honestly evil!!
Seen tons of ads for anti-vaping, not ONE for eating better or exercising!
Fast food is killing us slowly. I cook at home more, I do it for my family. Thank God for RUclips and all the people sharing their cooking knowledge.
Cooking is very simple unless you make it difficult. It does not have to be so diverse, only healthy. Breakfast: 5 eggs and 5 sausage. Lunch: plain yogurt. Dinner: fried ground meat in lard or butter, add some cut up vegetables, a potato that's been cooked a few days ago, or some boiled rice, brown a bit and serve! For snack 2 pieces of fresh fruit. That's what we eat daily.
It's cheaper than anything you can buy in fast food joints, low carb, and much more nutritious.
YES! I especially love cooking videos from grandmas who have a lifetime of experience. No fancy cameras, no prentions, no expensive ingredients, just good basic healthy food...
Same here. I love looking on RUclips for recipes. I just adjust the ingredients (such as sugar) if I need to so that it fits my preference. .
I never thought I would enjoy meal prepping, but to me, it's fun, better for your health (since you control everything that goes in your meals), and much better for your pocket. 🙂🙂
Unfortunately people have very poor self control now, their brains are wired for instant, unearned and entitled happiness.
Preach sister
Extremely overweight people having to buy 2 airline tickets is not an injustice. It's a justice for everyone else. There seems to be a lot of entitlement and narcissism among the overweight
As far I know, planes are calculating in weight, so yes, justified.
I live in Canada (but was born and raised in the Caribbean). Whenever I visited the USA, even knowing the situation, I still get so shocked and amazed to this day at the _portion sizes!_
I'll never forget when I visited a burger place at a mall there once, asking for the sizes for a lemonade. They showed me the cups for sizes. I was looking at the 'Small, Medium, Large' size cups and my eyes bugged out, thinking holy cow, the 'Small' cups are like bigger than a LARGE size anywhere else at home! I'd seen it advertised in other places too and on commercials, but seeing it in person.... and seeing little kids with those big jug-like cups... At that burger place, just at them seeing my shocked expression alone, the employees told me that they KNEW right away that I wasn't from the USA, LOL!
Let me tell you something. Being obese is unhealthy, and I don't want to glorify it. But obesity doesn't mean being ugly or unattractive. Overweight people deserve as much love as anyone else. They don't harm anyone and they're not evil.
Paying $31k to go for a walk is hilarious. The real winners are these clinics.
The meals that the "nutritionist" was concocting were so the opposite of what healthy humans need.
It's a growth industry for sure.
@@dmackle3849That nutritionist/clinic is a joke. They’re teaching them to go to bed hungry instead of teaching them how to create a healthy plate with fresh & whole foods. Feeding them cereal for breakfast when it’s bad to break your fast with sugar is another issue. I think they want them to rely on them forever. Nasty work.
When I saw cereal and milk I was thinking why not eggs and veggies for breakfast? What? Teach them how to eat so they feel full. Protein, fiber and good fats is what they should be taught. I can't believe those parents paid 31k for their daughters to not actually learn good eating habits.
These girls coulda gone on RUclips for free and got a 10$ planet fitness membership 💀😭
That heart attack grill is literally glorifying gluttony 🤮
Only in America.
My thoughts exactly! It’s sad smh
Den of mortal sin.
It should be called Big Pharma's FDA Slaughter House.
They offered Billy the Fridge a role after their main sort of mascot died and he declined because he planned on losing weight and they would not allow him to do that.
Having visited America, I was shocked how people are lazy to walk - everybody is driving a car, even walkable distances. Add to that the junk food and no wonder obesity is a problem.
A little over a year ago I weighed 249 lbs. Today I’m 145-152 lbs after I started watching my calories and walking started at 1 mile three times a week and now do 4.25 miles in 1 hour 10 minutes. I hated what I saw in the mirror and the lack of full enjoyment of life. Being fat ISN’T a good think.
"A lot of it is not knowing what you're eating, it's about awareness ". That girl is correct 💯💯💯💯
They knew what they eat isn't healthy but they want it and don't care. I hear a lot of " I don't care" from people that loves to eat.
That restaurant is highly problematic on every level I can think of. It's extremely creepy.
Exactly. Why even have these places ? This is literally killing people.
You can’t blame anyone for capitalizing on you not taking care of yourself .
@@julyrosales I blame them for capitalizing on objectifying women.And you can capitalize on people not taking care of themselves without taking it to the extreme by saying, people can't have lettuce on their burgers.
Its really the only reason I ever care to step foot in vegas again.
The restaurant is simply adressing with loads of irony what every fast food place does. Its like the South Park of burger joints. I really dont think its the restaurant thats creepy here.
The boarding program those young women attended, wow, just wow. You could truly see in them that they enjoyed being there and that not only where they learning valuable lifelong tools, they were building confidence and pride in themselves and appreciation for their bodies. What an amazing format they have going. I hope those young people are doing well.
Laziness is number one.
You are what you eat.
America is sick!!! Never in my life have seen people fat as this. Same time you have many series about it that's crazy. In Europe obesity means overweight 20-30 kg not 200 kg

Why has the USA forgot how to cook food at home? You don't need to eat fast food. Cook at homes. You can choose what you eat. It's more effort yes but the trade off is worse.
Lack of time. But yes, the trade off is worse.
Broiling a chicken breast and steaming some broccoli takes 10 minutes. You would sit in the drive through line longer just waiting for your Super Sized Big Mac meal!
Facts!!! People are just lazy plain and simple. The only anomaly are people in food deserts that don’t have access to fresh food but I agree and see if everyday.
Someone would rather go to chipotle or McDonald’s then going to the market.
Women went into work more not cooking is more convenient for tired parents recipes literally has been lost over a generation
Home economics and cooking would be mandatory junior high and high school courses if we really care to reduce obesity and many lifestyle diseases.
People without food, children die of starvation and this burger joint in Las Vegas is beyond words…. The sin of gluttony 😢
I had weight loss surgery about a year and a half ago. Dropped 115 lb and completely changed my lifestyle. Sure I like how I look, but it's NOTHING compared to how I feel. It completely changed by life for the better in every way

Very true ! Because you'd be dead before you get old !
I assure you there are plenty of obese old people. They are heavily medicated and live with both internal and external issues.
I always thought that....now I work with a woman who just turned 81...she is obese. At least 70lbs overweight and short. She's a cashier. It's like seeing a unicorn.
And that’s all that needs to be said.
It’s a scam in my eyes. You don’t have to change anything, society has to change 😂
But the effects of to much fat will kill you personally. Slowly but surely.
Not true actually. My great grandmas were all obese and lived to be in their nineties. I’m not saying obesity is healthy - they ended up insulin dependent and disabled from a stroke. But it’s simply not accurate to say there are no obese elderly ppl.
Just looking at the meals gives me a heart attack 😭😭😭😢,, i feel soo sad for the poor souls who find themselves trapped in such lifestyles. No one deserves it.
The first guy said “I’m a victim of fast foods” wrong you’re victim only of your own bad habits and poor food choices.
Ain’t no way I’m going to a burger place that spanks me if I don’t finish my food.
Agree. I can't fathom why anyone would want to put themselves through such humiliating degradation. It's almost like some whacky fetish to want to be dehumanized like that. Really disturbing.
So you would go? “Ain’t no way” = there is a way (it’s a double negative)
@@rjws69 you know what I mean. There’s no need to comment as if I’m not making myself clear enough for you. It’s not that serious. I said what I said.
It's so cringe.
I think there’s people who are into that 😅 the “step on me” gang
A "victim" of fast food? So the fast food joint broke into your home and rammed the food down your gullet? smh
Exactly!
I feel you can be a victim of a grocery store and buy some fruits and vegetables
Can opiate users then not be considered victims of the pharmaceutical industry? When tens of thousands of doctors in America were over-prescribing synthetic heroin for PMS and toothaches, who's fault was it that those people became addicted to opiates? If you think like I do, which is that the pharmaceutical industry lied to and preyed on Americans en masse by pushing their poison down our throats, is it then such a far stretch to think that the fast food industry in America might share at least SOME culpability for the prevalence of dangerous and addictive foods in this country? Conversely, if you think that obese Americans are entirely and completely to blame for the obesity epidemic in America, then certainly you must agree that the pharmaceutical industry carries no blame for the opiate epidemic?
You don't understand what happens in what's termed as "food deserts." It's not lack of food, but lack of good quality and affordable food. Also, please see my comment on the OP to understand why even your own better shopping and home-cooking efforts are just useless after all. They might be "better" but they're still futile, and no, that's not your fault, but there are things you can do about it. See that other comment to understand why.
@@justrosy5not applicable to all
I just looked up Miss Plus America and I am heartbroken. They have a littles competition. This encourages an unhealthy lifestyle 😢
notice the doctor doesn't tell Alex that his stomach will naturally shrink over time if you don't eat near as much for awhile. That surgery is insane.. and $10,000! unreal
The creed is greed. The health care industry is no exception. What pisses me off, and quite frankly confounds me, is this dude being willing to risk such a surgery instead of, IDK, doing some damn research about how to diet and the common mistakes people make. If he's thinking he can eat the same trash food he's been eating, but somehow eating less food in general is going to make everything all better, he's in for an obvious rude awakening. And if he intends to eat healthier anyway, the surgery is rather pointless. He states it reduced his sugar craving, which I'm sure will be useful, but what he and so many other people don't seem to understand is that ultra processed foods in general are the problem, while sugar is actually more of a distant second, and total food consumption an even more distant third.
A victim? I was 400 lbs and I dropped the fork and changed my lifestyle. I’m 250 and I never ever thought I was a victim of my own doing. Victim mentality is out of control.
And there was too much enabling of obese people in this video.
Some weight issues is not about eating. I know a woman with a thyroid condition and it causes her to be bigger than she used to be.
Obese people are unlikely to "change their lifestyle" because they're usually at the lower socio-economic end of society (and we know it costs a lot less to eat badly), and are also more likely to suffer mental illness. Lack of empathy and low intelligence is also out of control.
@@prettylyricsmarie All that does is reduce her metabolism, meaning she needs less food to survive. There is no medical condition that will allow you to escape the first law of thermodynamics.
@jeffbeck8993 I have seen people big and very skinny, due to thyroid issues. It isn't always an excuse.
Rich people get prescribed Ozimpic. Poor people get prescribed body positivity.
how are poor people affording to stuff their face? if they can buy 1000 in groceries to be fattys they can buy ozempic...we dont eat so they can save the $ from their junk shops....win win. THis argument is silly. If you ever watch my 600 pound life they easily eat 2-3 THOUSAND dollars in grcoeries a month.
The best comment.
Lizzo
And both are unhealthy.
You are not poor if you are fat.... trust me
Congratulations to Casey! Keep up the great work! 😊
I really enjoyed how comprehensive this documentary was. They've provided various POVs, nuances into each person's unique situation. I just wished it went deeper into the psychology of some of these people's origins of excessive weight gain. I personally believe that for some of them it stems from unresolved/ unacknowledged trauma or something else that masked through isolation and eating more than necessary. I used to be chubby when I was a teenager but lost everything overtime through self educating myself, exercising more and associating with people who share my lifestyle values or I'm doing it all solo either way, I am in CONTROL lol! I know that everyone's' situation is different and that I am not the standard but as some people have said in the comments, you heart is literally the size of your fist (closed), if your overall body weight is 7-10x that size, your heart is working way more than it needs to to keep you alive. And that alone shortenings your life expectancy...
There is definitely a mental health component that gets lost or ignored in these conversations.
The Heart Attack Grill looks like something from a dystopian American future, but what’s concerning is it’s in the present 😨 Fancy opening a restaurant where the idea is to consume as many calories as possible, and the weird spankings are just unfathomable.
Those burgers would be healthy without the multiple buns stuck in between them.
It's completely bonkers and looks like a scene from the film Idiocracy.
People say eating healthily is expensive. In this case half the amount you're eating. Noone's body needs 6 burgers, 4 litres of soft drink and a bucket of ice-cream every day.
Exactly even if they are a certain amount of calories and worked out they'd be in better shape.
I think you took that out of context. What they mean is that processed foods in grocery stores are affordable for everyone, while organic foods & healthier foods are out of many people's price ranges, especially if they have more mouths to feed.
This is one reason why I have started trying to fast somewhat frequently. It builds self control, supports weight loss, & is easy on your pockets.
@@cecemeadows8117 Yes. Processed foods are more affordable. But statistically, often people who overeat are the ones buying processed food, ready meals and frequent fast food. To some extend it's a cultural/habitual thing. I often see kids getting chicken and chips for £5-6/portion after school, rather than having a fresh meal cooked for the same money OR sometimes they eat it as a pre-dinner/unnecessarily extra meal. Often, moms who claim they can't afford healthy food don't miss a manicure or hair appointment. Get the priorities right. Get cooking. Eat less. Move.
Cooking food is processing it.@@headlesschicken99
@@eclecticism3086 Eating food and digesting it is also processing but we're not talking about chyme here too, are we?
Surely, we can agree what processed food we're talking about. Some questionable mash with zero traces of meat that ends up being called nuggets or hotdogs is very far away from steaming broccoli or grilling a steak at home.
Being overweight really starts to hit you hard in your 30's. I notice none of those tik tokkers are very old.
People should not be publicly shamed for being obese, but it shouldn't be celebrated.
Thank you for this documentary and these comments 🤮 I already started healthy lifestyle changes and this nailed it for me
Food is getting so expensive that we will all be losing weight soon
🥹
Even the poor are obese in America
It's the opposite. Garbage food is cheaper. That's why its mostly the poor people that are obese.
Only activity is fishing? Run. Walk. Bike. Hike. Skip rope. Shadow box. 😶
Facts!!
Swimming is also great exercise especially for really large people because being in the water takes some of the pressure off their bodies + it's a fully body workout
I thought the same thing. Don't blame the town for your inactive life.
And later in the same part they mention a sports centre he goes to so, with all the things you rightfully mentioned, seems like there is plenty of opportunity to be active
Activities are great for fitness, not weight loss. The sucky thing is,
Closing your mouth is what works. It's no fun...but...
When you fast, energy goes UP!!
Keep electrolytes in check!
Lack of exercise is also the problem, not just eating junk
93 million Americans are obese?!?!
This nation is in big trouble. The healthcare costs of dealing with this has got to be staggering.
This problem only seems to be getting worse as time goes on.
Food Addiction is a serious problem
I accidentally fixed it by going organic. No more food cravings. In 2 weeks pain, inflammation and cravings were gone. Down from 170 to 115 without trying. Just eat real food without the chemicals
All serious problems are serious problems.
Just say no. It is all voluntary and life choices.
It not a food addiction it's a sugar and carb addiction we teach children
@@zekebrooklyn5789 We had sugar and cardbs pre 1980s too. We didn't have the addictive chemicals until we loosened our food standards. I can eat sugar and carbs as long as they are organic
I went low carb in Oct 2021 after being diagnosed with diabetes; remitted successfully. Once I reduced the carbs the cravings also reduced. Without even trying I lost weight; I can only do stretching, strengthening and light hand weights due to back and knee issues. I now weigh what I did back in the mid 1980s before having children. Went from 80kg down to 60kg. Waist was 44" and it's now 36". Other than shoes and socks I have to get a whole new wardrobe of clothes. Thankfully I've been able to get a lot of my tops / blouses from the second hand shop.
Well that is just remarkable. Shows it can be done if you want it bad enough.
@@isaiahoreweme6625*You definitely need to have a motivator* I didn't know if it would work for the diabetes but I watched a lot of videos and read comments about people's experiences and decided to at least try it. The doctor wanted to put me on metformin, a statin and see a dietician (which I did - a hospital diabetes dietician in Australia - and she told me I wasn't eating enough carbs and that I would lose muscle; I proved her wrong - I got checked by a exercise physiologist after 1 year). For me it was learning that you can go blind and/or end up on kidney dialysis (I already knew you could lose toes / limbs). My husband ended up on peritoneal dialysis after he contracted Wegeners Granulomatosis. We checked out about both types of dialysis and he decided on PD. Both forms of dialysis impact your life in a big way.
Bravo - good for you - we readers know it isn’t easy to change eating habits.👏🏼
@@davisholman8149 Thank you. You do need to have a strong motivation to do it. After being diagnosed with diabetes I learned that you can go blind and/or end up on dialysis. That scared me into trying low carb (after watching lots of videos and reading viewer comments about how it had worked for them). The diet didn't seem "wrong". I've now been low carb for over 2.5 years because I feel so much better on it than eating the way I had been. After a few weeks I stopped craving the carbs.
also had 20 kg to loose. managed to loose 10 kg with low carb diet and now am stuck with those 12 kg. cant excercise bc of knee and auto immune disease and am about to start some calistenia routine and see if can start loosing some more kg.
watching this after gym hits different
I previously was morbidly overweight. 350 lbs. Im now weighing 127. I felt awful as a fat person. I will never go there again.
What a journey. Congratulations!
Heart attack grill as a concept is utterly insane
It's down there with Pet Rocks and MLMs. Can't say which is worst; it's a tie!
Body positivity is like saying "suicide positivity" because it's the same thing
Pretty much my thoughts!!!
No it is not! You should not be driven to HATE YOURSELF because you are obese! I strongly believe that nobody WANTS to be fat and unhealthy. I am an advocate for body neutrality. My body is what it is, and I do not have to hate myself, but I try to be healthier. But please! Do not shame fat people... I promise you they did not choose to be fat and obese. they are mostly just poor and lost and sad. We should not shame victims! We should help them.
@@lemcy1256 No one is helped by telling them being morbidly obese is fine
@@notsure6958 Well, that is not what I said.
@@lemcy1256 Well that's what body positivity activists say. Should we applaud them for encouraging an extremely unhealthy lifestyle?
Stop eating junk food.
Whole world need to understand this.
getting a burger king ad on this is crazy haha
I live in the UK.
Im a 50yr old female and I've always been overweight.
When I was 48yrs old i started weight training.
Now im all muscle and feel amazing .
Its all about mind control.
I had been fit all my life until I had a serious injury at the age of 43. I became severely obese within two years. I can't imagine people can live like that and claim they feel wonderful. Obesity is disability and there is a reason why those influencers are not older than 40. You can stay quite healthy and fat if you are young, but above the age of 40, it's essentially a death sentence.
Be grateful also that the UK still follows the excellent ( and high ) EU rules on food safety. However, some maniac Brexiteers still want us to lower the standards to allow in hormone-drenched meat from Australia and New Zealand, where food standards are lower.
American standards are even lower than that, and chlorine-washed chicken is just one example. Heinz sells tomato paste in the UK and the USA. The cans look the same but look at the listed ingredients: the USA version reads like the contents of a chemistry lab.
The lady that was in the dra office with her husband said she was pushing 300. Thr narrator said she used to be obese. She's still obese
She had the surgery I had so long ago... and for cutting her stomach only lost 70 pounds in 2 years. I hit that in 4 months. It's a lie. And the surgery ruined my life and nearly killed me 20 years later.
@LovingxLyriqxNxDeSeo that type of surgery is terrible. Lot's of people regain weight anyway. Many end up eating small quantities but many times per day. Snacking repeatedly causes a constant production of insulin by the pancreas. The surest way to get or aggravate diabetes. Surgeons know that but only their income counts.
@Cervin_Suisse it absolutely is. And bc ppl don't realize the commitment they r making is until the day they die, they will never understand what cutting this vital organ is going to do to them later in life.
As an obese teenager this made me wanna actually lose weight. But it also made me ashamed and disgusted at my country that we all let ourselves become like this.
53:49 so sad to see. Honestly is. A stroke or a heart attack hits you at 35 and your whole world and personality, all life decisions and the facade come crashing down hard if you even survive it.
Thinking there's a likely chance I'll die in a matter of less than a decade. What a horrifying situation it must be.
Heart attack grill literally had customers having a heart attack and dying inside and outside of the restaurant. Spokesman died at 29 of pneumonia. SMH...it's gross.
No way. That's madness 😮
@@MissVanSamPeople over 350 pounds eat for free.
That was the intent. I understand that the whole business was created out of spite by a doctor who was sick of telling fat people to lose weight, only to be argued with fatlogic / ignored.
It's not surprising. People who have underlying Cardiovascular diseases and diabetes can actually have a heart attack or even stroke from eating huge amounts of fats and sugars at once. It's not unheard of, but not sure how common it is.
Either way, the Heart Attack Grill , admittedly is encouraging bad health and bad habits to a nation that is now the fattest and sickest of all industrial countries, and it's only getting worse and our health care system seems unable to keep up
It's not funny.
I didn’t let surgery be my only option. I fasted and ate super healthy cutting carbs and added sugars from my diet. I lost over 100lbs in just a year. I was almost 300 lbs but now I sit around 190lbs. It’s only hard for the first month but trust me, if it was easy everyone would do it. Limit yourself watch your calories and you’ll see results in a month GUARANTEED
Yeah, most people don't stop to consider that they're metabolically unhealthy, and it's gonna take time for their body to start functioning correctly, especially if they're diabetic and their body just stores fat and doesn't hardly use it. You can loose weight quickly on keto, but early weight loss is mostly water weight. Further, if you don't have enough protein, you may loose muscle mass while keeping much of the fat. Once you've alleviated the burden on your insulin for a long enough period of time, you'll start shedding the fat rather than storing it.
That Alex guy could have done it without surgery. 300lbs is not a number that is un fixable. And you never know what surgery (cutting your stomach) will do long term.
Dr. Sahab you have handsomely covered history and illustrated beautifully. The point which was new for me was of Iman Ghazli synthesis of khulfa Rashideen. Thank you for the great lecture.
Body positive movement! When failure to take responsibility for your health, start a movement to spin it into something positive and good.
I have a family photo taken on the family farm in 1906.
This was during a family reunion and there are over 30 people spanning 4 generations. The largest of them would be considered below average in weight today. The old guys have arms and necks that are chiseled out of wood.
They didn’t have remote controls, central air or internal combustion engines to carry them around. They WORKED. And they ate at home.
Why is it unfair to be charged for two seats on a plane if you take up two seats?
Right?! If you need more space you gotta pay for it
Crazy. As an Italian living here in Italy my doctor suggested go on a diet now because I'm 5 kg overweight...I should show him this....
Being slim and fit is the best way to live your life. Eat less eat healthy be active and do exercise. You will be good. Throw the negative energy out of the window. Cheers.
I just lost a nephew to obesity driven disease, he was 31 years old when collapsed and passed.
This is incredibly sad. I'm so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss...I imagine the body positivity movement upsets you to your core.
So sorry.
Sorry for your loss 😢
The ending with plus size beauty pageants makes me embarrassed to be human.
Need the kale smoothie recipe though ❤️
That is weakness, not confidence.
These women for the body positivity are delsuional
It's pretty much on par of the "everyone gets a trophy" mindset
Fast food is no longer cheap. A meal from Mickey d will cost you 13 or 14 bucks. You can get a couple a bags of salad and some lean chicken for around the same price.
I love obesity docos. Was so excited when this came up in my YT suggestions then I saw Casey and realised aw I've seen this!! 😅
That Casey guy seems pretty amazing. Smart, attractive, fun, positive. I wish him the best in his journey toward health.
Its amazing how just putting on some weight can bring on all these other health issues that you wouldn't even think would be weight related. Losing weight cures so many diseases!
Choosing to not cook isn’t victimization.
I think many people don’t know how and groceries in the states are much more expensive than fast food. It is a strange place
@@NitzpitzYeah but they've got microwave in bag frozen veggies that are cheap, and it doesn't take a culinary genius to throw in a tablespoon of olive oil and powdered seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian herbs, etc. to make it taste good, have with baked chicken cutlets lightly coated in oil (I use oil or butter spray and garlic powder instead of peeling garlic because I'm lazy af), 1 serving of pasta, 1 serving pasta sauce, 1 Oz cheese, measured on a $10 digital food scale with an auto tare function, at least half the plate being veg. There are other improvised lazy quick easy healthy meals.
The point is that even lazy healthy chicken and veg doesn't have to be tasteless boring garbage. There are thousands upon thousands of simple video recipes if you don't want to read through elaborate recipes with exotic ingredients. Microwave potato with Greek yogurt, bacon bits, 1 Oz cheese, 3 Oz baked chicken or 1 serving canned chili, and a bit pile of roasted or sauteed or flavors steam in bag veggies is another good quick, easy, cheap healthy, tasty meals. And you can still have burgers, just skip the fries and soda.
I have disabilities limiting my ability to stand a long time sautéing or chopping things, and yeah it's harder when you're limited and in pain, but there are workarounds. Not everyone finds the workarounds quickly, but I have no time for defeatist attitudes that none of it is in your control. I didn't know about practical methods for healthy eating until the Internet went big, I was overweight until I moved out and chose my own food based on that info. Seek out the information and keep trying.
for real, cooking isn't hard. If you want you can do it you can look for recipies and buy items online to make more easy. Blame the food is easy part
Thousands of online receipts if they really want to cook. No excuses. If I want to cook something I've never cooked before I just go to RUclips BAM!
@@glow1815 They probably just have a phone, and even with that you can learn how to farm or cook. I'm black and the history of Africa is .....funny how getting aid is their most known for thing...
It’s not a food problem. It’s a discipline problem. When there are bad choices surrounding us, we need to be responsible and diligent. Of course it’d also be great if companies didn’t pack their foods with poisons and carcinogens.
Processed foods are engineered to be addictive. The more people eat junk food, the more they crave it. It's a drug.
