Michigan's Obesity Epidemic

[@PraveenSrJ01]

Remove ultra processed foods from your pantry at home 🏠 is key 🔑

[@littlebearsparty4323]

we took all breakfast cereals , fizzy drinks ( Soda's to our American cousins ) , seed oils and rice out of our house two years ago. If its not on the shelf , you cant cook it. My children eat fruit for breakfast or dont have breakfast. Maybe steak and eggs at the weekend. but cornflakes are in the bin. Surely its about time Kelloggs products came with a Health Warning? Imagine if we all understood the damage their products are doing to our children? Maybe if we can all reduce their revenue , they will start to improve how they make their products?

[@wednesdayschild3627]

Eat whole foods, meat vegetables fruit, avoid boxed foods and sugar.

[@kathleenking47]

Even china is having these problems

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I completely agree

[@anthonyprice3353]

Whole foods for the win!

[@jasonz7788]

Bravo!!! Truth

[@PraveenSrJ01]

Walking 🚶 without my headphones 🎧 and listening to this video out loud walking in my neighborhood so other people can hear 👂 it.

[@Kristopher-ge7zc]

Be able to walk a mile in a year? I walk that one way to and from work daily. It's not a marathon.

[@geraldbutler5484]

It’s not a disease, it’s over eating the wrong food.

[@littlebearsparty4323]

being addicted to anything is a disease / illness. Sex , drugs , food or alcohol. Both physical and mental. Understand how ultra processed foods are made and the bodies relationship with dopamine.

[@marylizakowski706]

Silent killer? I can hear obesity rumbling loud and clear. Stop calling every damn thing a "silent killer."

[@user-zs1fr7im6l]

IT'S A CHOICE - LIKE NOT DRINKING ALCOHOL OR DRUGS ! EATING PROCESSED FOODS IS A CHOICE - YOU WANT TO BE FAT BE FAT !

[@liveineurope-bp6vd]

Sure if you want ... Non Alacaholic fatty liver disease, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Athroscolastic HDL plaqe build up that will break off and cause cardiac arrest or stroke. The other is it increases risk of cancer. If you want to die between the age of 45-60 years old, then be obese! IF you want to live from 60-80, heat healthy plant based foods. If you want to live 90-110 years old, then total plant based diet and exercise several days a week, never have obesity in your life span, eat 80% of your daily intake...it your choice.

[@tashinka_]

It’s not the cost of food it is the economics of food production. The lady is knowingly lying

[@drewsykes8231]

airlines should load plane by weight not volume

[@jimpossidente5004]

It’s the Carbs and oils folks.

[@Bbobby5985]

Nope. It’s the fat people who refuse to exercise daily. Don’t blame it on the food.

[@tammywade3649]

We are overweight and undernourished!!

[@liveineurope-bp6vd]

STAY AWAY from highly processed foods! make fresh from fruit, nuts, seeds, beans and seafood.

[@LisaGrace]

They guy in Super-size me--died this year. Morgan Spurlock, 53--May 2024 died of cancer.

[@PraveenSrJ01]

It makes me angry 😠 that insurance companies consider ozempic cosmetic.

[@sarahsnowe]

Obesity is not a disease. It's a condition which is entirely preventable or reversible by knowledge and self-discipline. (Of course, it doesn't help that politicians are in the pockets of Big Food---though you can't really call its products "food.") Root vegetables, potatoes, veggies like cabbage, and lentils/beans are cheap (and tasty if you know how to cook; if you don't, learn). If you live in a food desert, save gas money by getting together with others to drive to a place that sells real food, or form a food co-op, buy bulk, and divvy it up.

[@liveineurope-bp6vd]

20% of the public is addicted more to sugar ...its more addicting then cocaine !

[@mimiveggie8653]

From a non US citizen's pov: american portions are huge. It's enough for 2 adults.

[@prancer4743]

It’s 90% control what you eat I would love to eat donuts every day and pizza 🍕 put ℹ control it and exercise nothing complicated self control I’m afraid 🤔😁👍 all the best 🙏

'This program is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition' . Yes i get the disclaimer required by KZbin. But the reality is main stream medical advice is part of the problem, not the solution. They are legalised drug pushers. Often preferring to write a prescription ( symptom management ) rather than change the patients lifestyle. 70% of 60 year old Americans are on at least 2 medications. My father is almost 80 , lives in the UK , and has been on a diabetes medication for 27 years. A disease that can be reversed through lifestyle changes. Medicine for wrong diet. We are all nuts.....

[@mothified1676]

It's not an epidemic if you choose to do it and can quit at any point but choose not to KEKW

[@user-zs1fr7im6l]

[@felipearbustopotd]

Stop saying... contact your medical provider. The lady said- that her medical provider was basically clueless. Going to them - is why we are in the mess we are in. They are just pill, lotion and powder.... sellers for the pharmaceutical companies. We have simply LOST touch with the farm to fork principle, and have acquiesced that part to the food manufactures.

[@littlebearsparty4323]

spot on. See a nutritionist , not a doctor. Let food by thy medicine.

[@sunday.mourning]

People go to the doctor and they tell them to lose weight and they get mad

[@felipearbustopotd]

Ingredients list = Warning label.

[@littlebearsparty4323]

i checked my infants milk powder ingriedients list. 54 of them , including 4 different seed oils. luckily he is about to stop using it as he is nearly 3 . but still , its horrific. imagine the damage that causes.

[@felipearbustopotd]

@@littlebearsparty4323 I thought at one time that infant formula would be a good substitute for a mass gainer / whey powder option - I was totally wrong. As I was reading the warning label, my eyes felt like they were on stalks - I could not believe the STUFF in there - what made me really gasp was that - this product was meant for infants - good grief. The better option would be a, full fat dried milk powder, topped up with a multi vitamin dissolvable tablet. If it has a nutritional / ingredients label - the latter more important, it would be an dereliction of harm to ones self, to not read it and act accordingly.

[@NorthlandSLC]

In the mean time Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will be ending ALL weight loss coverage after Jan 1 2025. All prescriptions including existing patients will no longer be covered. Their letter basically said that if people continue to address their obesity medically that it would bankrupt the insurance companies. Too many people are starting to want to not die I guess. With the epidemic we see all insurance should be mandated to cover obese people trying to address their weight. They can take the money from the heart meds, insulin, and blood pressure meds that will significantly decrease as people get heathier. The powers that be including the insurance companies do not want us getting healthy.

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I watched Super Size Me by Morgan Spurlock in 2005 at age 21.

[@me12722]

We used to drive less too. Not enough people can walk to get errands done

[@joshone8881]

So much tip-toeing around such a dangerous issue.

[@glenncambray9783]

By "movement", I assume she means exercise. Has that become a dirty word these days?

[@kevinharrison3265]

Love Dr. O'shea's haircut. Very attractive!👍❤️

[@felipearbustopotd]

37:10 if it were that successful - then why would anyone struggle to maintain their weight afterwards? Surgery should be the last ditch effort - one that should only be done if LIFE is in danger of being snuffed out.

[@tammywade3649]

1970's.... High FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP! It's the food!!

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I definitely agree high fructose corn syrup is bad

[@liveineurope-bp6vd]

Sooo FRUCTOSE in Can Sugar and Corn Sugar POISONS the mitochondria...it inhibits the processing of Glucose. That builds up in the blood stream, raising insulin levels, and high insulane PREVENTS the release of the fat Lips into the blood stream. NO MATTER WHAT LEVEL of exercise, its the HFCS/SUGAR and high processed foods that causes most of the obesity and diseases.

[@paulpanther787]

Don't eat junk food! Never drink soda.

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I meant to say I’m giving up junk food completely after watching this video

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I’m glad I don’t have a corporate job and slave for a so called “higher paying” employer

[@GoodDr.]

Thank you for the information. Obesity is a public health issue that requires collective action and investment.

[@blasphemertheseventh]

It took that doctor less than 60 seconds to blame women for our obesity epidemic. Ridiculous.

[@paquitoignacio3449]

In my opinion only, they eat a lot with burning calories, lack of exercise and discipline to do it

[@pattycake8272]

I wish they could figure out weight gain in menopausal women.

[@PraveenSrJ01]

Just finished watching the entire 50 minute documentary on KZbin premium

[@mikaditanzania6153]

What an achievement!!!

[@stopdeforestation]

She mentioned takis. What is a taki?

[@tammywade3649]

Some kind of bagged crunchy stuff, flavored

[@PraveenSrJ01]

It is unhealthy processed food 🥘

[@JIm-w1b]

If what you were saying was true, then everybody would be fat, but only about half the population is overweight or obese. Half the population eats whatever they want, including sweets and junk food, and does not gain weight. Documented scientific research has proven this. Dietary excess is NOT the cause of obesity. Whatever makes fat people fat, it is something other than eating too much or eating the wrong types of foods

[@sunday.mourning]

This is false. Thermodynamics is always right. Those people probably eat smaller portions of whatever they want, do intensive work or go on walks and runs instead of gaming for 12 hours straight or watching Netflix all day. Stop making excuses for yourself

[@nancykurtz7333]

Eliminate flour, corn, beans, and sugar.

[@user-zs1fr7im6l]

CORN - WHEAT - RICE - POTATOES - USE ALL OF THEM TO MAKE ALCOHOL ! HIGH SUGAR !

[@stopdeforestation]

Wrong on beans. They're one of the healthiest foods of all. They take cholesterol out of the body

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I completely agree 👍🏿

[@mikaditanzania6153]

Flour 😂. Italians eat only that and are far from america obesity rate.

[@nancykurtz7333]

@@mikaditanzania6153 it was good to hear that Italy banned bug dust from their flour😉
