A NEW STUDY PUBLISHED IN THE NEW
ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE
FINDS THAT OBESITY IS NOT AN EPIDEMIC THAT HAS SUBSIDED.
IN
FACT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE.
THE
TRENDS ARE ALARMING.
RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT MORE THAN 10% OF THE
WORLDS POPULATION IS NOW OBESE.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU A FUN CHART
CREATED BY VOX TO SHOW YOU WHAT
THE TREND LOOKS LIKE.
SINCE THE 1980S THERE HAS BEEN AN UPWARD
TREND.
THIS IS THE PART OF THE STUDY I WANT TO STRESS.
A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT AS LONG AS YOU ARE
PHYSICALLY ACTIVE YOU CAN EAT WHAT YOU WANT AND WILL HAVE A
HEALTHY BODY WEIGHT.
THE RESEARCHERS HERE ARE SAYING IT
IS NOT A LACK OF EXERCISE, THIS HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE
TYPES OF FOODS WE ARE EATING.
MORE DETAILS BEFORE YOU JUMP
IN.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER
THIS AFFECTS A LOT OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.
THEY LOOKED AT NEARLY
200 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.
>>THESE ARE COUNTRIES THAT DIDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM FOR A
LONG TIME.
WE HAVE EXPORTED THIS CHEAP CRAPPY FOOD TO THE WORLD.
I KNOW MANY OF US LIKE THE DIP
AT MCDONALD'S AS AN INDULGENCE.
I DON'T NEED IT, BUT I
UNDERSTAND IT.
WHAT'S HAPPENING IS IT IS A LOW-COST WAY TO GET
THIS CALORIE INTENSE FOOD.
BUT IT IS NUTRIENT POOR AND IT IS
GOING TO ALL THESE DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD.
AS WE HAVE EXPORTED THIS WE HAVE
ALSO EXPORTED OUR OBESITY
PROBLEM.
WE ARE THE PRIME MOVERS IN THIS.
>>NO DOUBT.
I THINK LACK OF EDUCATION
HAS CONTRIBUTED TO
THIS.
>>POLITICIANS WILL ARGUE THAT THE TOMATO SAUCE OR CATCHUP IN
SCHOOL LUNCHES IS CONSIDERED A
VEGETABLE BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY
TO PROVIDE DECENT SCHOOL LUNCHES.
>> THAT IS THE POINT I WASN'T AWARE OF UNTIL I CAME TO THIS
GREAT COUNTRY.
IT BAFFLES ME BUT AT THE SAME POINT YOU NEED TO
UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYTHING YOU PUT INTO YOUR BODY IS GOING TO
HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED.
IF YOU JUST WORK OUT AND EAT, YOU WILL NOT
SEE A CHANGE.
I'M TALKING ABOUT IF YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE A
SLIGHT CHANGE, IF I EAT CRAP EVERY SINGLE DAY NOTHING IS
GOING TO CHANGE.
EVEN IF I WORK OUT.
IT ALL STARTS WITH
EDUCATION.
EATING AT MCDONALD'S ONCE IN A WHILE IS NOT GOING TO
KILL YOU.
YOU SHOULD HAVE COOK THE MEALS.
IT'S ABOUT
UNDERSTANDING THAT THE QUICKER OPTIONS ñ THE EASY ALTERNATIVE
IS NOT ñ
>>I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS.
I WANT TO CONTINUE THIS
DURING OUR POST GAME.
IF YOU ARE A MEMBER YOU CAN CHECK THAT OUT.
IF NOT YOU CAN GO TO TYTNETWORK.COM/JOIN TO BECOME A
MEMBER.
ONE THING I WANT TO
EMPHASIZE IS THAT YES EDUCATION IS PART OF IT, BUT
SOMETIMES YOU
ARE SO OVERWORKED AND SO STRESSED OUT.
THE IDEA OF ME
GOING TO A GROCERY STORE AFTER
WORK AND DEALING WITH PEOPLE ñ IT IS INCONCEIVABLE.
SOMETIMES I
WANT THAT QUARTER POUNDER OF
CHEESE.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ALSO RELATE
TO THAT.
