The Global Junk Food Conspiracy | Bringing Fat & Sugar to the Developing World: Obesity Documentary

In Europe, food manufacturers have signed up to ‘responsibility pledges’, promising no added sugar, preservatives, artificial colours or flavours and not to target children. So why are they using tactics banned in the West in the developing world? There, they have created ultra-low-cost products with higher levels of salt, sugar and saturated fats. Filmed in Brazil, India and France, we investigate the new tactics of brands like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Domino’s Pizza.

[@BoothTheGrey]

More numbers would be nice. Here in Germany ONE standard meal at McDonalds costs about the minimum wage - both are about 9 Euro. So... TWO meals for the Minimum wage seems not "absurdley" expensive. But more important: How expensive/cheap are other restaurant meals? Are they so much cheaper? A pizza at a small pizza restaurant always was cheaper here in germany than a MacDonalds meal... since the 80s.

[@Mentesestoicas_]

@@BoothTheGrey You dont get it, its not minium wage by hours is 6% of the entire minimum wage per month haha. A standard Meal is 40 reais and for a couple is 60 reais. Our miminum wage is 1.100 reais, so about 6% of the minimum wage. A normal plate of food in a "all you can eat" here is about 20 reais. Pizza Hutt here can go for 80 reais but theres some options for 40/30.

[@Mentesestoicas_]

About the Pizzas: A regular pizza on a restaurant is about 30/40 reais. But you can go to a very nice "rodizio" (i dont know the translation) and pay like 55 reais and many waiters with many different pizzas will pass you offering many different types of pizzas until you explode. But still 5% of the general minium wage per month so is acctualy very expensive cause 75% of the population dont even get the minium wage.

[@BoothTheGrey]

@@Mentesestoicas_ uh - I see - the reais is about one sixth of the euro. So 1.100 reais are about 200 Euro. The price 40/60 reais is more what you find over here in europe if you just adjust the currency. I understand now why you think the price for lower income group is too high. Maybe... MacDonalds aims more the mid/top middle class or even the upper class? Which is a bit weird cause this is supposed to be cheaper fast food. They dont do this here in europe and never did this. Hmmm... who knows what their master plan is. Probably... it has to do with making as much money as possible ;) Thanks for the little insight into brazils income dispersion. Yeah - its a shame how the normal people are pushed down with their income. Especially the european/american corporations could do SO MUCH to work together with the people for higher wages in countries where to many people get to little money. But they dont. The opposite is true. They are part of the peoblem. We in europe and at other places had the luck to have strong unions while the employers were much weaker - so the worker could fight for much better situations and even some politic parties supported that - this is decades ago. Today this seems to be a story from a weird fantasy world. Even in europa they lowered the income for the lower income groups in the last 20 years. In germany we created the biggest low income group in europe and we... well... you can say we almost "stole" many jobs from other countries in the south europe where income but also infrastructure prices a usually lower than in middle or north europe. All of this "working marketplace" is a world wide mess in "normal" jobs.

As an american who grew up in europe, I think thats literally the only reason I'm not fat, because I had a mediterranean diet for most of my life, and it made me hate fast food. Moving to the US was a huge culture shock with how big the portions and how horrible the food is for you.

[@m42037]

No no no, that depends on what you eat I live in America (Michigan) and I eat a lot of Mediterranean food also! I think it's better here than over there, what do you have just a small selection like Döner boxes we have Chicken Shawarma, Tawook, Kafta, much to name. I been to Germany I see the selection on the street in Berlin. You guy's eat a lot of cold cuts full of cancer causing Nitrates and high fat cheese. I eat Müseli and organic bran flakes and organic fruit in my cereal for breakfast with unsweetened almond milk.

I think you can’t really blame them since they were never shown the real risk and danger of junk food.

its scary how people would go to surgeries rather than excercise.

[@rohanbansal9563]

It is apparent your understanding about weight loss, exercise and nutrition is limited. Weight loss is 80 % about nutrition, diet and lifestyle and only 20 % about exercise. I am 6 feet and weighed 145 Kg (320 lbs) in 2015 and at that time I was walking for 10 Kms in a day, going to gym for 10 hours per week but still there was no result. Then I changed my approach, approached this in more scientific manner. Had get metabolism tested, every 3 months Hba1c tests, monitoring nutrition. I am 75 Kg now with lot of lean muscle. Exercise helps me retain muscle and control metabolism but main key is nutrition. From last 6 years, I have not touched wheat, rice, sugar, cold drinks, ice cream, fresh fruit juice (as its all sugar), sweets or any sort of fried food. The only time I had 2 piece of dessert was in 2022 when my brother was getting married. I work out 15 hours a week (3 hours, 5 days per week) that includes 15 Km (10 miles) of running, and rest all strength training and HIIT. I cook my food everyday, which is free from all sugar/oil that I mentioned above. I have not eaten any sort of outside food from last 6 years. Not everyone can have this level of commitment. So the end goal is to loose weight and have healthy life. If someone achieves this by surgery, its still good. I know few people who lost their weight with surgery, and they are living a happy life now. And surgery is no magical wand either, it is just a tool. My brother had that surgery in 2012, when he was just 15 and had metabolic disorder. Doctor had given him 3 months to live, but with surgery his life was protected and now he lives a healthy life. But he has to follow strict diet to keep off the weight.

Unnatural food-like substances with harmful additives is the problem. Ingestion of prosessed seed-oils, and transfats - in combination with refined grains and sugars; this is what leads to obesity, T2D, and Heart disease (Metabolic Syndrome). Healthy natural fats are essential for maintaining good health, while drinking refined sugar with high % unbuffered fructose, not only causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, but leads to chronic inflammation, suppressed immunity, etc. etc. Also, it is not high time we stop blaming essential Salt for the harm done by non-essential Sugar?

However, fast food is very saturated here and hardly anything such as fruit and vegetables shop, fish mongers, meat butcher. I have been aware from the media on the effects this happening in places like India (previously dietary there being quite lean). So, this food was always going to go against the health guidelines on a healthy diet. However, on the scale of this, everyone needs to be educated on food labeling and advertising on food packaging.

The sad fact is India is being exposed to unhealthy fats such as vegetable seed oils and shortening (artificial butter) which have more trans fats. It isn't the saturated fat killing people. On top of that we are talking about countries that haven't really used enriched bleached flour up until now. Stick with healthy fats, real butter, and avoid processed flours because our bodies cant break down the other stuff and that is why there is an obesity epidemic. Fast food companies want to save money and cheapen on everything - including your safety.
