Casinos and the like try very, very hard to get people addicted to gambling on purpose. Just saying that it is "your fault for not being responsible or lacking self control" feels very dishonest. Just like how McDonalds and other similar brands advertised themselves to children for decades and use psychology to try and attach their brand to things you love and now unsurprisingly there's a lot of people addicted to their stuff. It's your responsibility to change, but you can definitely pin blame on the brands as well and start a conversation on what actions should be taken against them for the damage they encourage, or at the very 'least if their approach should be legal or not to protect future generations.

Its the general american problem. Pretty much every culture has a low cost carb that is central to our diets because it always had to be as the most cost effective option. We italians have pasta, my puerto rican wife has rice and beans... now we can afford to have a virtually endless supply of rice and flour. I'm only gate kept on how much pasta I can make by how many eggs I can afford. Portion control hasn't become a staple of cultures as they start to have the ability to afford more, its a hard adjustment. Then you factor in dopamine and addiction cycles and you get stuck. Not to mention the real issue in that obesity is such a far reach to any actual problems it causes. Tell a city of obese people they need to lose weight and you'll struggle to get past the part where they don't care about their weight. The impact on society as a whole isn't exactly obvious

The food approved within the USA is the same government department which approves drugs within the USA. The pharmaceutical companies sends billions of dollars into the FDA for having their drugs approved. The pharmaceutical companies make more money when people are unhealthy. This means the FDA has financial incentives for keeping people unhealthy because their biggest financial source of money is the pharmaceutical companies. The FDA is not held accountable for any bad decisions such as approving chemicals or ingredients within food which are known for causing cancer. The FDA is not held accountable for the growing obesity within the USA.... this means eating healthy requires consistently researching your food.

28:08 I'm getting emotional just from him putting on a goddamn seatbelt, cause I can just imagine the joy he's feeling and how proud he is of all his work he's put in, how much it means for him. Man, that right there must feel like the best moment he's had in probably years, it may sound like a small insignificant thing, but it's a huge affirmation of his hard work moving towards a better life.

The problem is excess and no self-control. And just an aside on the EBT cards, you can easily regulate it. All they need to do is approve what can be purchased and as items are scanned and the card comes out it will only pay for what is approved. It would be stupid simple to fix the abuse and obesity problem, at least among the food stamps purchases. They already have a list of things not approved and if you try to pay with food stamps it won't go through, just expand that list of items. The real issue is no one actually wants to stop it and fix it.

Originally the larger portions was beneficial for the USA because hard working people needed to build muscle and size for daily work or fighting threats. Today the larger portions are extremely unhealthy for two reasons. The first is because most people today do not have daily work which requires lots of strength or fighting threats.... machines/computers/tools have evolved greatly verses 100 years ago. Secondly the FDA should be proactively keeping all food within the USA as healthy... but the FDA is never held accountable thus why there's horribly addictive and fattening food within the USA.

Teeth decay was so bad there were holes everywhere. After some good things happening in my life, I started staying on top with my dental hygiene. Still need a few visits with the dentist before everything is fixed, but it’s inspiring to know that despite how bad some teeth may be, there is always possibilities for it to get fixed.

This may be a hot take, but I don't think that 1000 calorie plus fast food meals are making people 400 plus pounds. These people are snack monsters.

in mexico they enforced big badges with warnings on food package. they say "Trans fat". "Excess of sodium", "excess of sugar". This has helped a lot of people (including me) to choose better products in a easy way. Also they enforced to label fake cheese and all fake food as so. like, if cheese is not 100% made from milk it should say "Cheese substitute" . This has helped a lot of people avoid unnatural, overprocessed foods as well.

I’ve been to McAllen TX. I didn’t notice any of these things lol.

The teeth story hit really hard with me because I was in a very similar situation. Due to autism and adhd, I never cared for my teeth, so they turned extremely yellow. It was in high school when I started caring about getting a gf that I noticed how much I had fucked my live at that point to end up with yellow teeth. Thankfully, I started taking care of them a lot more after the realization, but no amount of brushing or toothpaste fixes yellow teeth from years of bad care. It was only after college that I was able to somewhat fix my teeth because I now had the money for it. It's hard to put into words the state it puts you in once you realize you fucked your life and cant fix it. I do have to say that many of these situations, including my teeth situation, is stemmed from parents that don't give a shit. The parents didn't care their child never brushed their teeth or that their child weighed the same as 3 of his classmates combined, so when these children finally grew up and understood their dire situation, it was already too late. If a child grows up obese, chances are, they won't do anything about it because their parents taught them to not care about it, else the child wouldn't have been ovese to begin with. Similarly, they might also not do anything because at that point of realization, the fix for the issue is seemingly too hard to solve at that point, hence no effort is done to fix the situation

They should make no scooter zones where it warns you then shuts down if you go further towards the fast food.

On the topic of self-control vs addiction etc. As somebody who's been both obese and now lower end of normal weight BMI. Let me tell you, it is super-difficult to stop eating an excess and control yourself when you are addicted to food. I don't think you can blame the people and tell them to simply eat less. You want to stop, but when you are addicted to it, cravings for food can get so strong your brain won't let you stop thinking about food every waking minute until you eat. It is super-hard to resist. It gets easier and easier when you manage to resist, but it takes a very long time. And you have to gather a shit-ton of willpower over time to be able to do it. I definitely think the right way is to never let kids develop the food addiction in the first place, though. I think if I never ended up overweight/obese when younger I would never have developed a food addiction. Stress was also a big factor for me, though, and if you get stressed during your weight loss journey you are very likely to regress very quickly.

Same thing happens in Australia get sent out by security. Asked to turn off recording devices or leave the malls

I am so happy to be living in Colorado because stairs, stairs everywhere. I imagine one of these people being told to go upstairs, coming up to the first rung, and breaking down into tears.

There was a time when I was in a bad place, and locked myself in the house, eating only food delivery. I gained some weight, I got overweight, but not obese. Even thought I was eating McDonald's and other fast foods, I was ordering only once per day, not like that guy ordering twice a day. Every few days I fasted a whole day, I didn't eat anything. You can't be ordering multiple times a day, that's really bad

''ordering once a day'' could have ordered enough food to feed a normal family for a week if you just say order and not how much you actually got each time.

To be fair, a local bakery can't really give an accurate calorie count, the calories can very from batch to batch, so it unfair to expect them to have the calorie count, generally its enough to know that baked goods are heavy af as a rule

It's absolutely not unfair. If they are unable to standardize their process (which they absolutely can) then they shouldn't be selling. There's no reason why they can't do the math and divide by number of products. Once you have a homogenous mixture (which baking leads to every time) you can just divide. Icing? Or whatever? Divide it into x amount of calorie portions then apply however many to each product. It's not hard, or impossible. Do not believe that a BAKERY can't create a batch of dough and create the same size cookies/doughnuts/pastries then. There's no reason they can't. If they are to be considered professionals then they should be held to an professional standard. Especially if they are producing something for human consumption. Whether the human chooses to look into the value or not is irrelevant, they should be entitled to access to nutrition information.

It's in the food. It confuses our body's natural mechanisms for telling us when we are full and when we should be hungry again. Food companies have invested an absurd amount of resources into making people chemically dependent on their food-like products. Saying things like "just stop eating so much bro" and "just exercise more" is technically true, but the actual willpower needed to do that *when you're this far gone* is akin to telling a heroine addict to cut cold turkey.

Most people haven't realized that not all calories are the same. 1000 calories worth of meat and fat will leave most people satisfied for hours if not the whole day. 1000 calories worth of sugar and starches? They'll be satiated for 30-60 minutes and then the sugar crash happens.

@@rahn45 Exactly. They have been tricked into believing in the calories in calories out flawed logic, and they ignore all of the complex chemical processes taking place inside of our bodies. It's a lot harder to "count calories" when someone's hungry all day than when someone is full after eating some meat.

In japan you can buy just as shitty food as in America but they have to walk to the train station to get around. That little bit of exercise saves lives. Car culture and the laws in America restricting grocery stores from being in walking distance to your house is literately killing us.

ehhhh it's kinda true. I lived in Tokyo during covid and lived on a diet of almost exclusively mcdonalds and cocoichibanya (Japanese curry) for about 8-10 months. I was completely sedentary during that time and ubered all my meals. I lost weight. In fact I almost became underweight. It was just genetics and the way my body reacted to extreme stress. I'm not saying those things aren't also true. But there are a lot of factors (moving definitely does help tho)

Bro I live in Harlingen, Texas which is about 30’ min from McAllen and you nailed it bro. I had moved away for 12 years and came back on ‘23 and it’s literally the same place with 0 effort to get better. 100% hate 1000% old way of thinking

I lost my ''sweet tooth'' along time ago. The only exception is sometimes energy drinks and/or liquorice (mostly because of work). These days if I feel like eating something that isn't dinner/supper, I'll eat Olives straight outta the glass jar.

I think the real answer is treating it like a mental disorder. Telling someone "Just stop eating so much, go exercise" feels effectively the same as telling a depressed person to just go outside and exercise. Like yes, it will 100% help to do those things, but there's so many mental blocks these people have to fight against that it's just not helpful.

@@Code_Machine both. seed oil is worse tho. there was an study that show that a small amount of seed oil increased insulin resistance more than eating moderate2high amounts of pure sugar. seed oil often oxidizes in blood and breaks stuff. one stuff that likes to break are insulin receptors, making pathological insulin resistance. sugar is awful from a metabolic and mitochondrial stand point because of insulin rises that destroys mitochondrias and creates "metabolic syndrome" , sure. but seed oils are worse, the rise of seed oils are correlated to the obesity rise, and worse cardiovascular health, the consumption of sugar had never that strong correlation to anything, even diabetes (as sugar consumption style and protein consumption protects you to some extent to diabetes, there link is less strong, but still evident. USA has really low diabetes for what you would expect looking at other countries with lower obesity/higher diabetes, like Asian countries ).

I have ptsd and anxiety and adhd (annoyingly) and my weight was one of the main reasons it made these symptoms worse. Eating terrible food also made my mental health worse. Once I started working out everyday and going outside to walk my mental health improved dramatically .. way more than it ever did with medication (I quit my medication when I started to get healthy and being healthier done way more for me than medication did) when I ate healthier foods such as good meats and veg in smaller portions I also felt much better and now can’t stand any of my old junk food faves. People not telling me I was unhealthy and needed to sort myself out did not help me. In the end it was me who told myself “I feel disgusting and hate myself I need to change before it’s too hard to do” and now I’m almost at my ideal body weight and much healthier mentally and physically. I started august of last year and kept going and I’m a lazy person who gives up easily but didn’t with this. There is no excuse .. people just don’t want to do it and have given up on themselves

I love that security is on a Segway following them instead of walking

I grew up in McAllen, 30+ years. The mobility scooters are available at the Plaza Mall (our only and biggest mall) but hardly anyone uses them. I'm talking like 0.1% of people in the mall are using them, and no one uses them outside of there unless you are actually crippled. It's not the scooters, that's just for lolz in the video. The real problem is fast food EVERYWHERE, it's harder to find any real food. The only options are fast food or Mexican restaurants (which are also loaded with carbs). There are very very very few healthy eating options and when a new one does pop up, it usually doesn't survive and closes down. Another important note is that hardly anyone walks anywhere because it's 90+ degrees F and super humid for 9 months out of the year so it's hot as fuck all the time and if you walk anywhere you arrive wherever you go sweating buckets and smelling like a construction worker that bathed in ass sweat.

I am from small EU country. I once was in US for short work trip.
