  • In Europe, food manufacturers have signed up to ‘responsibility pledges’, promising no added sugar, preservatives, artificial colours or flavours and not to target children. So why are they using tactics banned in the West in the developing world? There, they have created ultra-low-cost products with higher levels of salt, sugar and saturated fats. Filmed in Brazil, India and France, we investigate the new tactics of brands like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Domino’s Pizza.

      I agree that food is addictive, but I wouldn't believe that addiction is the only thing stopping people from stopping. For example, not everybody works because they are addicted to work. Not everybody takes care of their kids because they are addicted to taking care of their kids. Not everybody votes during elections because they are addicted to voting. Sometimes, our motivation is beyond the need for it. Sometimes, we just want it, but not need it. Sometimes, we need it, but not want it.

    My brother thought he had the moral high ground when it came to health. He didn't smoke, didn't drink, and didn't do drugs. What he did do was eat junk food a lot. He ended up choosing a voluntary death at 72 when they told him he was going to have his second leg amputated because of diabetes. He also had had heart and cancer problems prior to this and was on full kidney dialysis for his last few years. If you do nothing else for your body, eat home cooking.

    When I was a kid growing up in New Zealand I used to look with a degree of envy on the "lucky" kids who had/could afford to buy bottes of fizz while I had my little bottle of home-made lemon drink. And of course pies, fish and chips, hamburgers etc. were a major attraction. But now I can't stand that stuff - any of it. I love my drink made from citrus fruit grown in the backyard, the in-season fresh fruit grown on a variety to trees and home cooking using vegetables from my gardens. I can't stand the garbage that pretends to be food and wince when I see people wheeling around supermarket trolleys laden with name-brand ready meals and junk food not to mention bottles of coke etc.

    I'm about halfway through this video and so far I have had a swirl of emotion from sadness to rising and intensifying anger. I'm "African American" from the south, and I always admire these other countries for the richness of their cultures, especially their food. I love the fact that their culturally traditional dishes have such a wide array of spices and veggies and are simple yet complex in flavor, along with the fact that cooking has seemed SO family oriented. I HATE that these fast food giants have swept in, possibly under the guise of creating jobs for their people and their economy, and have created OBESITY in a place such as India, the creators of Ayuverda, which is a beautiful health and wellness practice, and in Brazil where the people are known globally to be visually stunning, vibrant, and fit, and creating a 1:2 ratio of obese adults!. Evil. Just evil. And I'm angry and astonished.

There was a Jack In The Box which was far from where I lived and sometimes my boyfriend would drive me there on the weekends. Pizza from Italian pizzerias was also a treat for the weekends. Fast food joints were basically non existent, which made the consumption more difficult. We used to eat nutritious, home cooked meals 😢

      Well curlygirlbri, I'm only 7 minutes into the video....but if it makes you angry, then the low calorie/low sugar food industry must have you raging. I grew up in Ireland, where we ate salt-cured bacon from pigs we killed ourselves. It was boiled with cabbage added halfway through the boil, and served with a big pot of boiled potatoes...and that was our diet every day but Friday. We ate it with loads of salted butter, and the fat bacon was cut in slices about one inch thick. I don't remember obesity being a problem, and my memories are reinforced by looking at old family photos. But then the medical professionals began telling everyone, your diet is unhealthy...and laws were passed to stop people killing their own pigs in their yards. So people began eating processed food, and followed the advice to eat low calorie etc, etc, and now obesity is a problem. What the socalled health experts didn't know, is that those pigs were allowed onto the land, where they rooted through the soil with their snouts for zinc and other vital minerals, from which we humans benefitted because the minerals were in an absorbable form in their fat....plus, if we don't have fat in every meal, our 'satiety switch' never activates, and our brains still think we need to eat more, so we stuff ourselves with carbs. The fast-food industry isn't the only one to blame...the medical industry is equally so.

      @@shamrockshore6308 Oh trust me, I am well aware of the damage that the Medical and Pharmaceutical industries are doing to the human population at large. It's all about money, all of it. Money and control. Not just control of people through our bodies, but economics and personal financial standing as well if you know what I mean, it's all cyclical, everything plays into each other. They knew what they were doing when they stopped you all from having the natural resources of the people who came before you on the land and didn't feel that they had to rely on medical professionals for their "great help and knowldege". I eat a LOT of butter and fat in my diet. When I have a stable flowing income I eat largely plant based because it makes me feel the best, improved my weight and my pcos and balanced my gut and hormones. However, I also eat a lot of junk when I'm on a low budget in the form of snacks when it's just accessible and I'm doing uber deliveries all day and night, and there are no low budget healthy options available. Because the prices have also been jacked up on produce across the board and "vegan" and "vegitarian" food options are seen as a luxury instead of common place. And the fats that are used in the most cost effective meals widely available are not the same as the fats from whole sourced home cooked food, especially from animals that are caught and slaughtered organically (not the fad organic, but the real meaning of organic). I also forage around my city, whenever and wherever I can, I've even learned the seasons for about 6-7 different abundant fruits, and different plants in my area. So I'm with you in understanding. Every bit of cultural means of living, which are the most effective for human living have been attacked and sacrificed for money, power, and control of resources and people physically, mentally, financially and spiritually. I have a deep understanding and frustration of what's going on and it just gets more intense as time goes on and I learn more and more about how things have changed, and are changing, and why. I have goals to no be a part of this web, but I have to make me a way to make the changes and am looking to be of service to others who are in need of enlightening and help to better themselves in the process.

      Well, there is more to it than that... In South Asian countries, restaurant sanitation can be a problem. Street food and mom-and-pop restaurants may use real, better quality local ingredients, but getting sick from pathogens in restaurant food is still pretty common. Corporatized fast food doesn't have that problem due to the robust Western sanitary practices. That said, it's a tradeoff: short-term suffering but less long-term detriment with local street food or short-term pleasure and chronic suffering from fast food. Most people instinctively avoid anything that causes acute, immediate risk. So the chronic hypertension, diabetes, etc from corporatized fast food is more-or-less ignored...

The saddest thing is that for many people in developing and underdeveloped countries fast food restaurants from big brands are literary the best, brightest, cleanest and nicest things they've ever experienced. And foods, drinks, interiors there seem for them so modern, shiny and polished.

    I live in America and you can see what happened to us. From a young age I was fed these things and to this day at the age of 55 the addiction to salt and sugar is a daily battle. As a father I was able to protect my children but it was not easy to say NO at every children's birthday party, at each gathering, people looked at me like I was a bad father to my children. I even had to stop my wife who is southeast Asian from offering them sweets. I would tell her our children are already at a disadvantage simply by being born in America, why help this sick and twisted system?? Today all three of my children are Vegan (by their choice, I am not Vegan) and of a healthy weight which we shall call skinny by America's standards where most people are fat. If you cannot stop the American fast food companies from coming then as parents you can choose to love and protect your children and future generations by refusing to buy from these monsters until they go out of business close up shop. Once they gain a foothold the addictions and the obesity and diabetes will be passed on from generation to generation, claiming many lives, subduing your best and brightest into a life of food addiction and obesity.

I told him, You'll hate, lol. You've been eating chicken with a grain. He tried, took 2 bites and said, "This really is not very good". Game, set and match! He never had artificial sweeteners either; I made Jello and pudding from scratch. Also, If you raise your kids on healthy food, they'll hardly ever get sick.

There are no politicians in an EBR society, there are public administrators who are experts in what they do. They have studied administration, various engineering, mathematics, sociology, psychology, medicine, other sciences, etc., but none of them have studied political science or that thing that they now call economics and pretend it is a science, nothing could be further from the truth.

    I lived in South Korea for 4 years at the turn of the century, teaching English to all ages in multiple schools, cities and companies. My observations concerning the westernising of the diet are that the older generations predominantly stuck to and promoted the traditional diet which is very healthy and nutritious. These generations were slim and trim and fit. I entered into the traditional diet with exercise and lost 21 kg of fat to be slim and trim as a 63 kilo 50 year old over that time. Progressively down through the younger generations the change in dietary habit was evidenced by progressively more overweight or obese young people and children with an obvious taste for processed westernised foods. It was tragic then, in my opinion, because you could see the change before your eyes. What would it look like now, 20 years later?? The thought of how Brazil and India are being affected in the same way, accelerated by far more sophisticated social media, replete with influencers, is repugnant and sad beyond belief.

    I had fast food in India - I was with Indian friends in their home town, and we drove to this little place. One of them went in and came back out with a little metal tray each containing a couple of small freshly made bread roll things and some warm sauce made with tomatoes that you dipped it in. It is hard to describe it properly, but I still remember it 8 years later because it was SO GOOD.
    Why the likes of McDonalds and KFC would ever catch on there is beyond me. The only answer I have is fashion - when I was a kid growing up in the UK in the 80s, everything American seemed bigger, better & more exciting. You felt that you were missing out on something if you didn’t try it.

      They lack foresight into the species as a whole. All they care about is maintaining their power and wealth to pass down to their spoiled children who are equally narcissistic. Some of them don't even care about their kids which is why they don't care what scientists are warning about the planets condition after they pass away.
      Academics progression which innovates all industries is hampered because it's only given to a select class of society who can afford the lifestyle of studying and so on. Majority of the population does not develop the brains to actually do these courses because they are eating BS, caught in debt traps and working dead end jobs.
