@@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).

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.

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.

There was a cool opportunity here to explore and highlight some of the systemic reasons why small, underfunded towns have an obesity problem, but the extent of the "investigation" was pretty underwhelming. There's a reason why there's only fast food places, there's a reason why the people in such rural areas are depressed and lazy, but most of the real factors were ignored and left the video feeling pretty surface level

Well considering the fact that drugs and overeating both originate from anxiety and depression, it would be prudent to look at the socio-economic status and more importantly the study in detail the type of jobs most men there are engaged in, since, low paying labour jobs require husbands to be out of house all the time that leads to problems in marriage and affects the child in the house too.

I feel like this could’ve been a really interesting way to investigate the privileges around being able to call yourself ‘healthy’. You mention the prices of fresh fruit and veg but failed to mention how most of this town are materially and culturally deprived. 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. Oh and the BMI is a scientifically flawed form of measuring health (rather it focuses on generalised aesthetics at large)

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.

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.

Fresh meat nowdays is over £5 a pack. People don’t have the money for that anymore. The government needs to help the uk farmers and make fresh food regularly available and more affordable.

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.

The viewers clearly are intrigued by this town and there's so much more you can explore as mentioned by some comments (history of the town, poverty, jobs, etc). Obviously you probably have loads more video ideas but I think you should definitely go back there and take a deeper look at the issues

it would have been interesting to see what it is like for people in terms of jobs, social class, job opportunities, education etc. As someone who grew up with not that much money, a young, single mum, depending on family for help etc, we always had to resort to cheep, unhealthy food as it wasn't a possibility for us to do a big healthy food shop. if you also take into account the rate of inflation, jobs and the wages given, it might change the perspective from people just being lazy or choosing to eat badly to this is what they have to resort to as there are not really many other options, if that is the case that is.

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

This really shines a light on a normal sized persons view of fat people. Ive been fat my whole life so i dont know the difference. But i can see how skinnier people judge people if there fat. Fat people are less than, and dont deserve respect or kindness. Thats how i feel maybe subconsciously thinner people feel towards them.

Why are there 55 fast food places in such a small area? There should be a law against this and processed food in general. Like govt funding for people to open fruit & veges vendors, funds for local agriculture sector, bringing the price down for healthy foods and taxing the unhealthy ones especially these big companies. Both making healthy food less priced and processed food pricey will make it inconvenient for people to get take outs and eat processed food from marts.

To combat that problem the town or even the NHS or any combination thereof should start tiny house housing projects around the town arranged around permaculture gardens and greenhouses that house and employ the homeless and hopeless whilst growing fruit and veg (and nuts) that are send offered at super discount places throughout the town offering special deals on salads and fresh cooked veggie stews and soups and generally vegetarian cuisine with free small tasting servings limited to one per person which will hopefully encourage to poor and the greedy to walk from place to place getting their steps in. That is a great way to start.
