In the US? Watch WHILE THE REST OF US DIE here: bit.ly/3Mj8vBF

It’s annoying hearing people justify bad food by saying “I’m here for a good time, not a long time” But once they start developing health issues, their time changes real quick.
-
I stopped drinking sodas back in 2013. A month ago I decided to cut all juices & alcohol and drink water only. Two of the best decisions I ever made.
-
Once I started cooking all my food and only eating real food excess fat has just melted off. I basically don't have to do anything to maintain a proper body composition.
-
Fast food isn't a cheaper option anymore anyway
-
If the big sugar companies are doing that image what big pharmaceutical companies and government agencies are lying to you about lol
-
The worst is foods marketed as "low fat" that have significantly higher sugar levels. I even see "fat free" on labels for candy.
-
One day after considering my diet choices while looking at my body. I thought of what I REALLY wanted. I've tried to lose weight for so long. But that time, it clicked. It's sugar! I told my girlfriend and I held my lumps aggressively. I told her a couple of times: "it's the sugar!!" Few months pass, very little physical activity. I eat fatty foods like a pig. I'm down 40 lbs. Many symptoms of adhd just started to become less pronounced. And I have so much energy.
-
Don’t eat fast food and don’t drink soda. You’ll be good
-
It's almost like corporations are financially incentivized to retain recurring customers...shocker.
-
I've cut out almost all sugar and I started at 245 and without exercise I'm now 163
-
All that sugar keeping you big as hell
-
This is the vice I signed up to ❤
-
Even facing Chapter 11 bankruptcy, vice still churns out these quality documentaries
-
This is the kind of content I would love to watch in my 10th grade health class
-
I'm from Europe and we are shocked about the stuff the US people eat, and how uneducated they are when it comes to food. The prime example is Bread, why does the US Bread contain sugar? The same accounts for ready meals, or semi ready meals like pre made sauces. We don't need experts in Europe to tell us how bad sugar is, everyone knows it and we grow up with it and learn to check packages for sugar content and how to calculate it.
-
This needs to be a series
-
One time i had a friend staying with me in the US from Copenhagen, Denmark (Europe) and after going to the grocery store a few times to stock up for a couple days he said something like “Man how come in America you have to pay more for less ingredients?” ….. that was a good 4-5 years ago and i think about it every time im in a grocery store😔💯
-
That's why when I'm feeling lazy, I just cook eggs. Way better than any ultra-processed foods.
-
As long as there is ultra processed foods and people to consume it, there will be an entire sector of the health care system dedicated to treating people who are sick because of the ultra processed foods. Without the foods, the added sugar and the health care sector to treat these people, our economy would be turned upside down and that's why no one does a damn thing about it. So disgusting.
