[@adrianhughes7515]

@@CheeksMcClappinn I don't think people are blaming it on external factors. A lot of people don't have the luxury of choosing foodstuffs that, athough healthier, appear more expensive than a pizza in Heron's (I can't imagine how shit those pizzas taste). Opening a gym and charging £33 for a month of membership (12 month contract) isn't going to change anything. More clubs, such as running clubs, cookery classes, walking clubs etc, that are free and accessible are really what is needed. Education at a young level is fundamental. The smoking habit has been broken, but not the eating habits. Frankly, Ebbw Vale is no more different than any number of towns and cities across the UK.

There was a lot of talk about prices but somehow the word 'poverty' never appeared in the video. Might be wrong but I'm pretty sure Blaenau Gwent is the most deprived local authority in Wales overall. There's a pretty linear relationship between poverty and obesity. Not to take individual agency away from anyone - your body is still your responsibility - but I wonder how much that gym costs. An economic barrier for some and a hurdle for plenty more (not that they're jumping hurdles eyyyoooooo gottem).

[@BaldMancTwat]

I really wouldn't bring gym costs into it. People buy shitty ultra-processed food and love stuffing their faces with it because that's what it's designed to do. It's designed to make you over-eat. Studies show that ultra-processed food causes depression and equally people crave ultra-processed food when they are depressed. Let's not even start with micro-plastics. It's never going to change.

To make a point in defence of the Welsh Valleys (as a welshman) since the decline in the job roles in places like Ebbw vale, as like many Valley communities. Plus the decline in support for the people living in these towns and the rise of cheap and easy food venues which are normally much cheaper then the "healthy shops" which is what has caused the epidemic in places like Ebbw. Support is needed for these communities from the Welsh government with access to things like healthy start wales, job improvements and opportunities and a real world investment is needed here. The NHS have programs but the waiting list is 3 years plus for people who are suffering with obesity. 2-4 years waiting for drug programs. I hope that this helps to provide some context to the video, as it does highlight a major problem in wales.

[@DKC999]

I feel like every thing you investigated is applicable to every single small/medium sized town in the UK. Fast food deals in windows, lack of fruit and veg shops, fast food chains.. the list goes on. In terms of what makes Ebbw Vale the ‘unhealthiest’ probably links back to the 80s when the mines & other secondary sector industries closed down and there was a lack of investment into the town. This resulted in many towns like this, but Ebbw Vale being one of the worst effected, having a very low income population & a severe lack of opportunities. Unfortunately, this has continued into the 21st century and the result is what you see today - a population with a small town mindset, lack of education on healthy eating, and easy unhealthy options all around them. Not the populations fault, more so the macro impact of a lack of investment in the area.

News flash, this is everywhere in the UK. Not saying this to have a go at you for being out of touch but this is the reality of the UK, it's not all London and personal trainers and chefs etc. Alot of people in small towns which once relied on industry are now in tatters as the industry has dried up, less work for "low skilled" workers, poor transport etc leads to unemployment which means less money which means of course you're gonna get 4 pizzas for a quid over 4 oranges. Ultimately everyone is in charge of what they eat and how much they excersise but it's not by chance that the most unhealthy places are the most impoverished.

[@TheCSprogamingCREW]

As someone who has spent alot of time in Ebbw Vale, the real issue is the lack of opportunity in the area. it's not the lack of "ambition" its the fact there's little to no work in the area. Especially after the closing of the steel works in the town/mining industry shut down. This is common across the valley area.

[@halloumifried]

This was genuinely the most infuriating video to watch. Maybe you guys mean well, but it’s a bit of a slap in the face to hear you talk about the problem of obesity in the town without really considering why it’s such a problem. I know the prices of food were mentioned, but I think it’s important to note that Blaenau Gwent is one of the most deprived counties in the UK. Things like gym memberships are not necessarily financially accessible and most people are working long hours and don’t have the time to prepare nutritious meals frequently. I don’t think showing up and interviewing random people, then panning to overweight locals just going about their day, is the best way to approach the topic to be honest. It kind of screams entitlement.

This is why we are seeing an epidemic of obesity caused by a lack of access and opportunity, something which the government fails to tackle in a multitude of towns and cities across the UK. I do actually really enjoy your content, I just feel you missed an opportunity here to explore the depth of this systemic issue.

"the BMI is a scientifically flawed form of measuring health" This is harmful misinformation.

Im originally from Ebbw Vale and it's so depressing I moved my life to Canada to start again. The one thing I do want to say is The mountain air pub is in another town called Tredegar not Ebbw Vale. Yes it seems depressing but the atmosphere is from the people who live there and I know this will cause an issue with those people. Anyone walking around the town in the middle of the day are people living off the government or construction workers. There are people that are my age (29) who saw the town for what it is and moved away for a better life. My family are still there but the only thing I miss about that place is being able to walk to the mountains. It's the fattest place in the UK because people will not educate themselves on how to live your life. Instead they scrape through school with little education and hang around car parks eating crap. Apart from that you can see the older generation are the bigger people and the younger people of the town actually go to the gym which is called planet fitness near Tredegar.

i live in a town called bargoed which isnt too far from ebbw vale and sadly this is a common theme throughout the valleys and many small towns across the uk. i think the main reason people are lazy towards their lifestyle habits is because of the social deprivation in these areas. there is definitely an attitude of settling for less in these tight knit communities due to the poor work and social opportunities and so people have no real motivation to adopt a healthy lifestyle. its really sad that because of the closure of mines and many factories, there has almost been a death to the valleys, and now if you go to most welsh towns such as mine, there are virtually no shops or markets except takeaway places. It makes me so sad that the place i was born has no opportunities and that in order to make a decent life for myself, ill probably have to move out of the area. unfortunately many towns in the valleys are just ghost towns

[@Lilyrev]

Obviously there will be rich/well off fat people, but it's obvious that there's a big link between poverty and obesity. Fresh fruit and veg costs more than a meal in pretty much every fast food place you went in, which is outrageous and makes it so difficult to eat healthy. Not only that though, from looking up the sports centre/gym you went in - memberships costs around £32 per month, that's an absolutely unthinkable price for those in poverty. If the money that goes into obesity NHS issues instead went towards lowering fresh food prices, gym prices, etc. then maybe most of this country wouldn't be so fat, thus wouldn't need to spend so much on health issues.

A lot of Wales is like this, especially the valleys, places have just given up, they're often overlooked by others because they're so isolated, I live in West Wales, I moved from Manchester, and it just feels so sad here, there's nothing to do and there's mothing for miles, I can't wait to move back to Manchester

Hi Cal enjoyed the video, Maybe make a second part to this where you put on your social media’s that you are going to do a 5k around the town and that all are welcome. Maybe roping in the gym to get involved and help promote a more healthier lifestyle afterwards ?

[@joshiegoble]

These types of videos slap Cal! love from NZ

Highly processed foods should have the same tax that cigarettes do otherwise nothing will ever change

There not many ways of earning money unless you work in a fast food chain, takeaway or construction

[@anthonyangove7804]

He pretends he cares but is trying so hard to keep his laughter in. What a role model this guy is! I use to enjoy watching him but this kind off stuff is out off order. Fair play hope your proud earn some money form this hope your proud

It can't be the takeaways, I mean takeaways are really expensive if you make a habit out of it

[@jssandhu3581]

But as u can see the healthier options cost more than takeaways

[@patrick14q2]

I get fruit is expensive but surely we can’t be saying vegetables are 🤣

At least it still has a grocers. Looks like a nice shop too.

Nah I think this video misses the mark. Feels like you’re just going round asking “whyre you fat” and then laughing at fat people. Thumbnail is crazy too. Could be just me but it feels off, not sure what the goal is

[@Grampo2]

it's just snide Tory stuff. aimed at making TikTok clips rather than an actually good video
