let us tomatoes and maybe some potatoes. some might even consider this to be a perfectly balanced meal. but is it really? i'm christy, and you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to be dissecting the issues that impact our plates and ultimately our lives. we're gonna need delving into the world of fast food and explore all of the hitting costs. these preservatives and additives have on our societies health. the fast food has become synonymous with convenience, but at what cost? fast food with its high levels of saturated fat sugar is an empty calories has played a significant role in the obesity epidemic that we see today. and as we know, obesity is linked to a myriad of health issues from heart disease to diabetes because fast food produces millions of pounds of food every day. it is meant to be affordable and consumed

quickly. most fast food meals are prepared from frozen canned or dehydrated products and are simply reheated before serving. these fluids are high in calories below on nutrition, which means that they'll leave you feeling hungry and cause you to binge eat. aside from the usual culprits of salt and sugar is in fast food. there are many hidden chemical ingredients views and preparing the meal. chemicals are added to most fast food products to make them last longer and taste better. but these chemicals compromise, the nutritional quality of the food. common chemicals include pro faleen glycol, which is an additive that stabilize moisture to prevent ingredients from sticking together, drying out. it is toxic and high doses. sodium nitrate is a preservative to keep neat products like baking ham, or be fresher for longer. well, enhancing their color. and this has been linked to certain types of cancer. synthetic food dies, which are used to make foods look more appealing, can also cause allergic reaction. and has been linked to different types of cancer

. and now we have filler products such as cellulose and potassium bro. made, they're added to stick in products like meat and bread. and this can interfere with the bodies, natural nutrient absorption systems, satellites, which are found in gloves, boxes and plastic wrap to use to prepare food are also commonly found in fast food . this class of chemicals is linked to infertility, pregnancy, complications, diabetes, and again, cancer. fast food chains also rely on large scale factory fires, which be genetically modified chickens, pigs, and cows that are fed antibiotics to make them grow faster. and in the end, the antibiotics end up in your body when you eat their meat. the processing fee is often involves stripping fluids of their natural neutrons, leaving us with niels packed with additives preservers and excess salt. these added as might enhance taste and shelf life, but they come at a price to our health preservative small expanding shelf life. can wreck havoc on

our bodies to some studies suggest the correlation between preservatives and process foods and an increased and risk of cancer. these additives disrupt our bodies natural balance and over time may contribute to the development of various health issues. and now today we're joined by author, mary nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at new york university. so marianne, can you elaborate on the nutritional pitfalls associated with a died heavily reliance on fast food and process meals? things like eating mcdonalds, burke or even a subway sandwich every day. a fast food and one are now called alter process through 0 tories. and it's just that if you make them into a daily diet of the normal thing that you're reading, they have a lot of calories and people tend do too much of them. so those kinds of diets are associated with gaining weight and gaining weight is associated with heart disease

and certain kinds of cancers and type 2 diabetes and all of those problems. and what has happened is that the american diet has become increasingly processed and increasingly based on fast foods. and so i have them, i've been around for a long time. so i have, you know, historical memory about this. when my kids were young, i took them to mcdonald's on their birthdays. it was a really big deal and they had wonderful birthday celebrations. they still do actually, but really need it. mcdonald street, the rest of the year. you know, i could do the home. and so it's the difference between mcdonald's once a year and mcdonald's every day is a large number of calories and, and that's really what the problem is. but even fast food back then taste a different fast food scene healthy. you're in less process then nowadays. is that

true or is that just a disc? i missed all jake memory. so i don't think i think so. i mean they were processed from the beginning. what's happened is the portion sizes have gotten larger and i had a doctoral student, we see young who did that research and demonstrated that there was a very large increase in the size of fast portions between 19801990 in 2000. and those larger portions of stock, larger portions have moved calories. and how have you seen the health landscape change with the increased consumption of fast fitted the most obvious one is that 70 percent of american done so now overweight or obese? so that's obviously these become the, it's the o, it's the average, the average person is overweight or obese and that's becoming increasingly true of children. that wouldn't be

a problem there. so the city didn't carry risks with this. and it raises the problem, the problem, the, the more overlay you are, the gray, your, your risk for developing chronic diseases. so it's a, it's a probability estimate. it doesn't affect everybody, but it certainly raises risks. and if i were going to say what the main problem with the american diet is, people are reading too much. and so that obesity has become the norm. and i think you might be right. visually you get used to seeing people who are just bigger and better. yeah, we're used to people the heavier so anybody's not looks ok. that's what i mean by normalization of obesity. and it carries hill risks. so to everybody who is overweight has problems, but it raises the probabilities. and can you speak to the specific health challenges such as cardiovascular issues and diabetes that are often linked to

diets rich and fast food? well, the 1st one is the 1st one is type 2 diabetes always because that's very, very closely associated with all the way. and then type 2 diabetes and overweight are risk factors for heart disease? certain kinds of cancer, bad outcome from coven 19 and overall mortality. and are there noticeable trends and the types of health problems emerging due to the prevalence of process foods in our diet? for the big one is tied to diabetes. the heart disease has a heart disease as many other causes and weights of heart disease are down and rates of many kinds of cancer. but the prevalence of type 2 diabetes isn't increasing. and how can individuals make healthier choices when natalie, the landscape that's dominated by fast food options? well, i would say the 1st thing to understand is how they're being marketed to. and recognizing

the extent of marketing and how difficult it is as an individual to fight an entire food system on your own. it's really hard to know if there's fast food everywhere. if that's the only food that's available is it's the cheapest. if you really love the way it tastes and it's designed to be something that you loved and that's what it's supposed to be about. and recognize that these foods are widely available, they're cheaper and there is to really delicious reason. it's all about marketing because food companies are not social service agencies and they're not public health agencies, their businesses, their job is some more food, not less. if you eat less, you're finding an entire food system is a fast food industry, taking steps to offer healthier options. and how can the industry balance profit

motives with a commitment to public health. so they can really, unless customers demand is healthier, us options and their customers are not making those kinds of domains. you know, why is it under pressure? they may try to remove some of the salt or some of the sugar or we'll make smaller portions. but basically they're going to do with sales. so it's, it's a combination and if people are, this is what people are asking for. it's, i think eskegal wants to for them to do something in there that's against their financial interest of their stockholders. well, i mean, it sounds like you're asking the consumer to have accountability. oh, that wouldn't be nice. i would be asking the food industry to have accountability. you know, i got involved in this because i was going to lots of meetings on trial through the cities. and everybody at those meetings would say, how are we going to teach moms to feed their kids more helpful?

that nobody was saying? how are we going to keep food companies from marketing junk food? so our kids in every possible way so that our kids know what junk food is, even if we don't have it. and thank you so much, professor nestle, but please stick around. the professor mary, nestle will stay with us right here after the break. and when we come back, we'll explore a crucial question. do consumers prioritize cheaper fast foods over price your healthier options when it comes to the diets? stay tuned for more the the the,

[000:00:00;00] the oh, what i would show the wrong just don't safe house. because the application and engagement includes the trail. when so many find themselves will support, we choose to look for common ground. the. the magenta itself to gaining independence and from the form of the ivory coast

remained under the strong influence of its foam and metropolitan pro french president, phoenix who said one year ruled the country for 33 years, ensuring the interest to from the dead. the government dean isn't in the trunk, then there's no sinclair, in his foster larry shifted upwards, was douglas who saw him and the more appropriate after the death of a one year, a new lead to long combat the ball came to power. and i'm ready to double for example. yeah, q is there. why do you know for fiddler problem? because it isn't good for tiffany to one is the one the bronze demetrius, the dean. good luck. boeing. enemy, a deep political crisis ensued. the walk a, the country 2nd largest city, turned into a theatre of last year from 130 to the

other 2 on the road as of no mortgage. how did the dramatic events unfold? and how is black a recovering from? he is a bloody conflict. watch on uh to the in the us to update allows new fluid ingredients like g hmos, growth hormone, and chemical preservice, unless it is proven to be harmful. in contrast to european e, f. s a requires additives to be proven safe before approval and has banned the use of growth hormones and several chemical additives. these differing philosophies lead to certain additives be allowed in the us, but banned in europe. and this includes the use of growth hormones, rack the funding, which freezes lean muscle in livestock, potassium roommate,

color ages b, h a m b h t preservatives, a less stuff that substitute more and even a most fast food is between the us and europe. it is not created equal. a startling difference was found when comparing a single slice of domino's pizza in the us with a slice of domino's pizza in the u. k. now dominos is a fast food pizza chain, so you really don't expect it to be healthy or very high quality. but a slice of pizza in the us contains more than twice the additives as the british version and nearly double the calories. while the cheese on the u. k, slide has just a handful of and greens, things you would expect, like martha rella, milk, salt and starter culture. the us side has a whole long list of ingredients to include fillers, thickener is artificial, flavorings and sodium. propane in the pizza del, like most american braz, also contain potassium bro, may, which is a band ingredient in europe, china and india, due to concerns that it may be a carcinogen. potassium bro,

made is used regularly in the us to strengthen dough and is present in more than 100 products. but most americans are likely unaware that there be exposed to substances in their food that europe considers to be dangerous. many common foods that we see in the groceries, our band and other countries. things like ritz crackers, gate or a week. bins, frosted flakes, skittles pop tarts, and those familiar with little dummies. pastry products, these foods all contain dies like yellow, 5 yellow, 6 and red. 40 which has been indicated they could be harmful to health, especially in young children. so why does the us still allow these ingredients when it has been shown to cause harm as well because the food industry has a very powerful trade groups and lobbyists. they claim that the vibrant colors are important to their industry for them to create snacks, juices, yogurt, and desserts. and as a capitalist country,

many decisions are made with profit in mind, not necessarily people. and a landmark decision last year, california became the 1st state to follow in the footsteps of the you and found the usage, a red di 3 as well as several other chemical additives and food and beverage products . and this guy is present in hundreds of candies and snacks, like ding dongs peeps and even pedia. sure. hopefully this will pressure the at the a to make a final ruling in regards to some of these additive. so for this and more, let's bring in again, author marion nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health at new york, new university. marian, can you discuss the variation and food regulations between countries, particularly regarding preservatives and additive? well, the countries in europe have more strict regulations and we do of our approach in the united states is to allow additives until they cause trouble. and then we take

them off the markets in europe. they, if they can't prove safety, they're not on the market to begin with. so we have a much more or less a fair attitude towards the editor. it is how much of a problem that is, i have no idea now in countries with more regulated food industries. do you observe a greater awareness and understanding of the health implications of food choices? well, certainly among regularly, that's why they're doing and what factors within the food industry contribute to the widespread use of additive and preservatives? they sell? remember, the sweet industry is about selling products. you can get people to the gray. can. people like eating candy? that's very bright colors. so the food is she puts in very bright colors. yes. but for example, beaches can also color or can you read or another vegetable can be used to turn. it can be yellow. not as well as the bad because, you know, you get

a much more stable color if you're dealing with one of those organic compounds that's associated with cancer is. and so the, and also, they're cheaper. so the food companies want to keep the cost or food as low as possible because that's how they sell it. and they're interested in selling as much food as possible and they're not going to do anything is against their self interest. so to what extent does consumer demand for convenience and longer shelf live, try the inclusion of additive and preservative and food products? well, i don't think the consumers are fighting for longer shelf life. the consumers is certainly fighting for convenience because people were long hours and, and that's difficult. but, you know, the food industry is making products that people would want to buy. so there's an interaction there, but people buy foods because they're advertise too because they're marketing because they're available because they're cheaper and because their life. so the

food industry isn't going to do anything that's going to change that particular formulation because they're in the business of selling more food, not less. and that was never a problem until obesity became problem. when everybody ought to be easy. everybody ought to be eating less, but the food industry makes it very difficult either ongoing efforts within the industry to explore alternative methods of preserving food without rely on traditional additives. i have no idea, i'm sure there are. i mean food is always been preserved. and if your company make a, uh, you know, a junk food, you want it to be a shell stable as possible, is here to throw everything in it that will do that. and most preservatives are fine. you know, i mean i, i just don't see, i don't see additives has been the biggest problem in the food supply. i see cowards. this being the largest problem. actually i went to the supermarket the other day and i saw that

a bag of bread crumbs had silicone additive. so what do you think about a simple piece of bread having additives like that? you probably do this probably digital keep the bread crumbs from the company. so it's pretty vanessa. now, i'm not aware that silicone is a big problem in the food supply. but if you want bread crumbs all you do is toast bread and make bread crumbs for easy. do maybe are being probably more pragmatic because you know, you can't control the food industry. yeah. i mean if you don't like those fluids don't you don't. you don't want so close to your bread crumbs don't. that's your choice. sweet. you're somebody who reads food labels in your reading list. don't buy that stuff. that's

a really easy way to deal with this. but you're finding entire food system on your that's a big jump. but are there differences in the use of additive between local artisan, all products and large scale mass produce items. local or digital products don't have access to those entities? you know, they're industrial additive. they're not going to be using nobody who's making ortiz at ok and is going to put big, you know, big organic dies and they're just not going to because they're advertising. the candy is be healthier and, you know, and better may. so, i mean, once again, that's your choice about what you're going to be by. and in terms of having a choice, our terminal candies, for example, and breads and organic food in general are also a lot more expensive move course they are. that's policy. that's because federal policy rewards the very, very large rewards, big food,

big agriculture, big every big soda, big every big, fast food, big everything. that's where that because of the way the political system is set up, the, those are the industries that have the political power and the money. and so the government does policies that benefit them. the government doesn't do policies that benefit small producers. do you think that americans are mostly slaves to the whole system? oh, absolutely, sure. the government and sold the corporations without question because of the way our electoral system works as the ability of ralphie corporations to give as much money as they want to candidates for office until the electronic system changes. i don't see how we change that, but that's the 1st thing to work on. let's elect people to congress for interested in the public health concept. we barely hear that sort of conversation. it doesn't

even come up on political debates at any level. i don't know when students ask me what they can do, that's the 1st thing i tell them, run for office. when we travel, change your up or anywhere. i feel good after eating versus people in the states are noticeably known to have digestive issues. why is that? i have absolutely no idea, but sounds to be like you need to change or define yourself by more organic food and cooking and eating at home. no i, i do books and i certainly are in favor of organics because of the production values. they use fewer pesticides, i think and better methods for growing for me. and i think that's a good thing. and you know, i'm very fortunate i can afford it. overall. do you think things are getting better or worse and the food industry? oh, i think it's very easy for people with money to leave this country. i don't know why

you're having any problems. really help people with education money. can you just fine? that's not a problem. it's the people who don't have any money that you worry about because that of junctions are so much cheaper than healthier food. so we want people to take real foods and put them if they can. and that's become a privilege in our society. do you think people are becoming more educated and their food purchases? yeah, depends on who you're talking about. some people are, some people aren't. and do you think things are going to get better when it comes to purchasing food? well, they are getting better, at least for certain, at least for people who could take advantage of their getting better. food in supermarkets was much better now than it was 30 years ago. really, anybody with education in money can eat helpfully anywhere in america. because foods are widely available and the, you're always the people who, you know,

who don't know the difference and who don't have the money to do that. you worry leeside. thank you so much, professor nestle for all your time today. so does a all these preservatives and artificial chemicals take a toll on the body? absolutely. the u. s. leads in obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes compared with the era. and while there are differences and lifestyle and stress, food is a major part of this. a much larger fraction of the everyday food sold in europe in grocery stores is lacking, and preservatives, artificial flavors and artificial colors. in europe, the food has to be gotten from farm to consumer very quickly. so the supply chain has to be very efficient. there is a lot more slack in the us because much of the food can be stashed away in warehouses, 4 months before it reaches the shelves. this scale food, while it can taste and look appealing,

is actually lacking in nutrients. so while it might cost more to eat fresh prepared foods compared to fast foods, the costs to your health and your life might very well be worth it. and i'm christy . i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything the the the,

what is part of the, the employee would post to is it the defense you of us and bidding the word? or is it something deeper, more complex might be present? good. let's stop without please. is that scope out of or the way the discovery of the new world at the end of the 15 center there appeared atlantics, slave grey. the slave traders from european countries started building fords on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america to be forced into hard labor. until the middle of the 17th century.

portugal had laid the main role in this atrocious business. then great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership for this fan of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation, and cruel obliteration of rebellion. these ruthless people tre practice by the leading european countries, took away tens of millions of african lives. the organization of united nations classifies the trans atlantics slave trade as one of the greatest human rights

abuses in the history of humanity. this is the biggest act of deep orientation of the people ever seen by mankind. the c a c. i in february admitted with the release of a report from the bureaus inspector general that it had recruited in informant to infiltrate and to spy on the civil rights group. black lives matter, denver, that informant went so far as to try and successfully thank goodness to convince 2 members of black lives matter to assassinate the attorney general of the us state of colorado. was this in forming a whistle blower? of course not. he was a wreck. he was a snitch criminal. but what happens when the whistle blower is not the stereotypical truth teller? after all, was the blowing comes in many forms. i'm john to reaku. welcome to the whistle
