Obesity is considered humiliating in modern society. Obesity is always linked to negative images such as laziness, stupidity, and lack of self-control. It is considered my responsibility to not manage my body well, but is the truth really the case?
In an era when obesity problems are becoming increasingly serious, in addition to being harsh on fat people themselves, someone has found a clever perspective to study obesity. The BBC record "The Men Who Made us Fat" shifts its target from personal obesity to mass obesity, and traces the origins of the food industry and studies the origin of fatty acid.
{9 The rise of high fructose fermentationtime back to the 1970s in the United States, when Nixon was the president, appointed Earl ·Bats was the agricultural minister. He increased the farm production on a large scale to get cheap food prices. However, this practice caused the production of corn, one of the staple foods, to be overgrown corn, and the excess corn could only be converted into corn sugar using Japanese scientific technology, which became the first alternative to sugar and sold as a sweetener.
After the high-sweet corn sugar stew replaced sugar, it was much more expensive than sugar. When the sugar intake is too high, the liver's galactin stops working and will not tell your brain that it has been eaten, so you will keep eating and fall into a vicious cycle.
At that time, an nutrient pathologist Ancel Keys said that fat is the main cause of heart disease. This theory is widely accepted by people, especially in the food industry, making merchants even more use sugar without any gaze. Consumers do not know that they have taken too much sugar.
People are afraid of fat, but the foods that have been removed become tasteless, so the manufacturer replaces fat with sugar to create low-fat foods containing polysaccharides, but the benefits brought by low-fat will be wiped out by excessive sugar. People still don’t know the harm of sugar. It’s difficult to change it when the profit model and lifestyle are established.
Food workers began to notice the marketing model of large portion packaging. This started with a US cinema. The theater manager discovered that consumers would eat up all popcorn. A bucket seemed not enough, but people didn't seem to like buying multiple servings.
So, I have come up with a way to increase the amount of popcorn and increase the price a little. Whether it is based on the benefits or not, people prefer to buy large portions of food, and the more money the business pays, it is much more expensive than increasing the cost of food. Since then, various large portions of food have been produced and package combinations have been derived, and people have eaten more and more without thinking.
People always think obesity is due to lack of exercise, but research has found that the opposite is true. Research indicates that children's activity levels are no lower than 30 years ago. The reason for getting fat is that they eat too much processed food and eat too much.
Experts say that many people think that food is a healthy food and eat it without any jealousy. Nowadays, many foods are oriented towards "healthy", such as organic, incomplete, fruits and fibers, etc. When people see these words, they always think that they eat more if they are low in calories, but in fact, these things provide no more than ordinary foods, and even have higher diet and fat.
As long as it is a refined and processed food, it cannot escape sugar or heat. These so-called organic foods not only made us thinner, but made us fatter.
