As a Turkish man, I %80 agree with you. Yes there are tons of oil in our food but it is not the main reason. Average turkish person eats 200 gr of white bread. And nearly every food contains white flour. Our economy is really bad so %50 of people cant even properly eat proteins and healthy oils, carbs...

You right because I'm turkey
That is entirely inaccurate in the reasoning part. The main reason behind obesity is that Turkish people feed mainly on bread and low nutrient-dense carbs. They don't consume healthy oils, vegetables, and quality protein as needed. The eating habits are pretty diverse though, so carb-related obesity is less of a concern in certain parts of the country (one being the west coast). The rich Turkish cuisine is historically carb-dense, but the economical turndown of recent years has particularly led to this obesity-prone diet. Not to mention the increasingly sedentary lifestyle...

That fish place has given the most expensive stuff they had. It depends on the season, but there are actually grilled fish choices that can be healthier than those. This first sweet you ate is "macun" (pronounced "muh-joon", means "paste"). It's actually a really old, traditional sweet snack that fell out of popularity for quite some time but has made a comeback. Mainly sugar boiled to a paste with some flavorings. There are other pastes that are made with different herbs for their medicinal (in most cases aphrodisiac) qualities, but they are not really sold on the streets.
From a 🇹🇷 perspective all said by Joe were right but I would like to add a little thing. There is really a culture mixup in Türkiye (probably because of the history) and that leads to a cuisine mixup of different cultures. For instance, the Aegean side of Türkiye eats much much more greens unlike the southeast although they put a lot of olive oil in it or we can say the south side of the country has more dishes which include "şerbetli" sweets like Baklava or Künefe and oily meats like different kinds of kebaps than the mid-west section of the country. I can't totally say there is one cuisine in the country. For İstanbul tho, we can say it's a good representation of the whole country. I saw a Bulgarian bro's comment (They can easily understand us to a certain level ) which is really a fact. Economical situation of the country is really related to the healthiness of the eating other than the habits, because of that, I couldn't shock people deciding cheap and delicious döner or white bread kinda things to pricey beef and salad things. Idk I can't tell a dude who receives a minimum salary to eat healthy during the economical crisis of the country which is probably the hardest times other than the Turkish war of Independence and WW2. A little bit of delicious and high-calorie cuisine and sadly a little bit of inflation probably led to that number 1 ranking. Great video as always Joe. 👍

It's very hard to find healthy options - there are a few fitness restaurants but generally their food is super bland.

Fat is healthy. Do you know how to read Medical Journals! Get some of them and learn why do you need fat such as for making hormones. You need to get rid off your Kellogs (GMO corn and oats) On the other hand it is a good thing you cook at home because the oils used in restaurants are inflammatory/toxic oils such as corn etc. And we know how those oils are made. Another point, the same cooking oil in restaurants are used too many times to the point becomes highly cancerogenic.

I can see what you're saying with the vast amount of oil. Some additional points: 1) Turks have a big difference between what they cook at-home vs. the food served on the street. However, the home recipes also have too much oil. 2) Turkish food has been like that for a loooong time. The main difference now is: people are not as active as they used to be (calories-out has reduced) 3) By far THE most important: the population is totally uneducated regarding nutrition. Why they need to eat what macro, for what purpose, etc.. (all countries suffer from this lack of nutritional education) BTW: the fish covered in salt is a special, ancient way of cooking. You may have been deceived to think you are intaking all that salt: you are not. There is a self-limiting mechanism that saturates the salt penetration during this cooking method. It is not supposed to taste salty.

@@en2p187 Americans were told that saturated fat (animal protein mostly) was bad for them, and to start eating more fruits and vegetables. Saturated fat, which gives most food its flavour, was replaced with unsaturated seed oils. Fat free products were loaded with sugar as well, to make them palatable. High fructose corn syrup started being added to everything. Snacking became more prevalent, as did eating opportunities throughout the day. This all led to a fatter populace.
Joe should travel to the most visited countries and the least visited countries. He loves travelling!
The other thing why Turkish people are obese is a lot of us think being fatter means you are healthier so we raise our kids to be a little bit chubby and their eating habbits carry out on their adulthood most of the times cuz nutrition is not really a well known topic and we keep on doing what our parents told us.

As a Greek, I know what you mean. In Greece we might not be as obese overall but our child obesity rates are off the charts because it's ingrained in our culture to feed and feed and feed small kids as much as possible because "they will grow tall with that weight" or so we think 😂😂

Great video Joe. The effort you put into this is insane. You have traveled to multiple different countries for content. And congrats on 1 mil, it was well deserved.
Most of the Turks I’ve met outside of Turkey and living in the US in particular…stay mainly slim or at a healthy body fat percentage. I would never describe them as obese. I realize this is different from actually being in Turkey. Also, all the homemade meals I’ve had from the hands of Turkish cooks is mostly really healthy! Sure, you get your odd syrup soaked desserts or oven baked koftas… but there’s so many gorgeous plant based mezze and salads NOT drowned in oil. They make excellent use of bulgur, lentils, chickpeas, greens… Turkish food was one of the first cuisines that taught me the reason I grew up hating veggies was because they were prepared SO BLANDLY. Turkish food gave me freedom to thoroughly enjoy vegetables prepared simply but flavorfully. Eggplant for example… Ali Nazik is mashed eggplant, raw garlic, and yogurt topped with chicken or beef. Not too bad… Disclaimer: my favorite Turkish dish EVER is Eskandar kabob, which may or may not be drizzled with a delicious butter. 👀 Also think it’s important to note that homemade Turkish food is going to have a LOT less fat, salt and sugar, because take out in any country has crazy amounts of those elements for flavor.

As a turkish guy, some of the reasons why turkey is the most obese country is that one, they eat lots of white bread because its traditional and fills you up, so what they do is, they eat smaller portion of actual meals and rely on bread on the side to get full. since the economic situation is really bad, this works well for their wallets also. the second reason being the extremely low awareness of nutrition. as seen in the video that guy telling you whatever you ate was healthy, the perspective is that, if its sold on a plate and not a bag like chips are and it fills you up then its healthy. throw in a couple of vegetables and yogurt on the side and you might as well be on a diet. for example, chicken is considered a healthy food and it stops right there, so the fact that they put a hell of an oil on them doesnt register. not to mention the poor street food regulation. it could very well be horse meat you're eating. and to top it of, almost every adult smokes and doesnt exercise here.

I'm italian and I can guarantee that we use extra vergin olive oil in almost every meal, yet we're still pretty healthy. It's the *amount* of it that makes the difference. A tablespoon of olive oil on a salad and another one on a steak doesn't make you fat. The point is, we don't add anything else in it. No yogurt sauces or sweet condiments. Just olive, salt and maybe some good vinegar.

I live in İstanbul - Turkey. I was obese before. Now, I’m looking fit. Also, I’m a dietician :) I agree with you largely. Our traditional foods are incredibly delicious, in my opinion. Unfortunately, the foods here are too oily and too sugary. Also, İstanbul has many cultures. You can find every culture’s food here. Nevertheless, İf you want to find healthy food, you can find healthy food. Maybe it’s can be expensive. Greetings from İstanbul :)
You absolutely lucky basterd, that fish shop is the best and of the most underrated restaurants in Turkey, your taxi driver REALLY was video saver
The fish restaurant wasn't bad. All that salt that covers the fish forms a solid wrap when baked that gets rid of afterwards, and the fish absorbs the right amount of salt .It shouldn't be salty at all. Also, the olive oil that I asume their pouring on is healty fat and it's not empty calories at all. Yes, there were fries and bread but that's about it.

I have not seen so much candy in my life, in shops, gas stations, mini markets, TR has it all and people love it 2) foods are a little heavier, not much with olive oil and portions are generous 3) Idk if this is just Izmir, but man it was hard to find something healthy that wasnt a ... spinach pide or borek( which is super oily btw). I even asked around and people laughed at me lol. I am sure the healthy-bowl mania will come there too eventually

And you dont typically find home food out on the street-none of the places you have been to offered regular Turkish food Turkish women would cook at home. Regular Turkish food is based on grains and vegetables but yes usually it has tons of butter and olive oil.

I'm from Ireland but travel to Turkey multiple times a year to see my boyfriend and his family- they find it so strange that I'm so health conscious, read labels for calorie content or even drink sugar free beverages. The comments about oil are on point. The majority of the time if I order a salad or vegetables, it comes *DROWNING* in a pool of oil. Very few times the oil has come on the side and I can add it if I choose. Although, for more modern areas of Istanbul I have noticed an increase in "bougie" healthy/"fit" cafes each time I come (oat bowls, egg white omelettes, drier salads, even protein shakes); some of these are stupidly overpriced, others are decent, but it's great to see more healthy options that are *actually* healthy. Other ways I find to be healthier, especially at turkish breakfast is to ask for boiled egg instead of sunny (this comes in boiling butter) some cucumber/tomato without oil, eating some cheese is fine, and a little bit of bread but not going overboard. I also join the gym while I'm there and walk as much as possible 🤣

as a turkish man living in the US now first i have to say i was pleasantly surprised to see that u visited my city. i have to say that if you’re out, you really don’t have much options when it comes to healthy food as great tasting food is cheap and convenient. however i feel like the younger generation is generally fit as far as my experience goes. I feel like our metabolism adapted to consume vast amount of calories that even in the US now no matter how much i eat i lose weight, and thats generally 4 big meals a day. And I’ve seen other young turkish people experience the same too. also a counter observation is that having a lot of fat in our diet (for male), especially olive oil, actually had somewhat of a positive impact in terms of testosterone levels as I and many of my turkish friends look much more grown and masculine compared to my age people here in the US. Genetics definitely have a role but I don’t think it’s only reliant to that. Just a counter observation.

as Greg and a lot of other people have said people in turkey don't really eat like this. What people eat at home are usually extremely healthy. the reason obesity is high is because of the economic state of the country. Kebab is hardly ever made at home so this would be like me going to London, buy a dozen donuts, and saying "this is what British people eat".
