  • cool clip thanks for sharing ..

  • Yea, like the folks at 'GE' really care about your health! lol

    They care about image, profit and nothing more.

    Cheeseburgers & greasy Potato chips ok? Give me a break!

    A bit of nutritional BS being pumped at the masses.

    No surprise that 3 out of 4 Americans are over weight.

  • "some potato chips contain real potato" OOOOO RLY!!

  • @AaaaghJOE What scares me is that she said "some". I would hope they all use real potato, at least some real potato...

  • lol, bullshit !!

  • ...whats in the potato chips that aren't real potato 0_o

  • Higer grade meat is better for you, but it depends on where it comes from. McDonald's uses mass-produced, non-veggie fed, antibiotic-filled corporate beef. Watch "Food, Inc."

  • I can eat everything I want and without gaining a Kilo. IBM = 21

    B-)

  • Wow, way to misspell protein, GOOD.

  • wow why would you care of one misspelled word. It was a common mistake. Find something that is important like strek, or wormsofthesense.

  • ur right

  • Fast food resturants such as McDonalds actually have a much higher grade of meat than is found at the grocery store to avoid the possiblity of costly lawsuits due to tainted meat. Fast food nation is a good resource :)

  • dieticians are crappy versions of nutritionists.

  • great vid :)

  • From a pure physiological point of view this video is FAIL!

  • how so?

  • First: Being a vegetarian is something evolutionary unnatural for our body and a pure vegan will eventually suffer from nutritional deficiencies and eventually become anemic (pernicious anemia). Second: the first statement is correct BUT the body need to use energy anway so if one find out ones basal metabolic rate and finds out his/her average caloric use per day one can eat once a day and still lose weight, its all about eating less energy then you expend. (part 1 of 2)

  • "Being a vegetarian is something evolutionary unnatural for our body and a pure vegan will eventually suffer from nutritional deficiencies and eventually become anemic (pernicious anemia)."

    Which part of your ass did you pull that out of?

  • @wormsofthesenses Well can you please tell me how to get sufficient amount of vitamin B12 without eating meat or any animal related product? And what about Iron? I hope you know that Iron is more poorly absorbed by our body in a vegan diet than a normal balanced one. There are also concern about iodine and calcium and omega 3 fatty acids.... Need more proof? Now crawl up back in your own ass and do some thinking before you talk for a change!!

  • @strek0655 Nutrient deficiencies are twice as common in meat eaters than in vegans per capita (google it). B12 is produced by bacteria, not animal products, and takes anywhere from 5 to 20 years to develop a deficiency because it takes so long to absorb. Sure, iron may take longer to absorb in a vegan body, but it is irrelevant because it is not harmful. "There are concerns about..." is a completely arbitrary statement and does not "prove" anything.

  • @wormsofthesenses Using epidemiological data to prove that a vegan diet is better than a normal diet is NOT a proof for anything since you do not take the financial aspect into consideration nor the population ratio! This argument proves that you don't study public health. The fact that i say "there is concern about" is not a quote but a way of formulation which i can agree was a bad formulation but nontheless there is a problem for a vegan to absorb these substances (you google that)...

  • @wormsofthesenses @wormsofthesenses Adn I do think the physiological workings of our body proves more than enough that a vegan diet is not a diet that has been prevalent in our history. Secondly the bacteria that produces the vitamin B12 reside in the colon, and the absorption is done in the ileum (which is the last part of the small intestines) making vitB12 only available to ourselves in sufficient amounts if we eat our own shit (that is called coprophagic) So you do that!

  • @strek0655 Most of the very few vegans who are malnutritioned are idiots who do not understand food and nutrition, or they believe they can survive completely on soy burgers. But to say that vegetarianism is "evolutionary unnatural" is stupid. I won't try to argue why humans are an herbivorous species, as it is the same as convincing a religious nut why their beliefs are illogical. The bottom line is you can't say whatever think makes sense when the facts do not back it up.

  • (part 2 of 2)

    Third she talks about the "right form" of carbohydrates, she talks about what sort of food one gets it from which is correlated to the fiber composition and the impact on absorption, yes this is a good point but she forgets about mentioning the biochemical forms eg fructose is more slowly absorbed than glucose due to the fact that fructose do not have secondarily active transport. And end result is that all sugars (except polysaccharides like cellulose) gets metabolised to glucose

  • She was doin alright until she spoke about hamburgers! There is very very little nutritional value in red meat!

  • you forgot protein!

  • I don't like what she said about potato chips and hamburgers. Yes, the idea is somewhat right, but it's typical american thinking. Any real health benefit potatos have is lost in the deep frying. Bake some yourself. Something should have said about eating fish 3 times a week, and eating lean meats like pork tenderloin rather than steaks. If you're going to eat fatty meats: once a week, please. It's good for you and the planet. (I could never be a vegetarian, but I try.)

  • @HockeyDiane Agreed about the potato chips and hamburgers thing, typical American thinking. Frying (let alone deep-frying!) destroys valuable and necessary nutrients in food rendering the food empty if not out-right cancerous. Eating fatty foods is not bad for your health however as fat does not turn into fat.

  • @xPythox I'm not saying fat in meat will make you fat. Lean meat's have more protein, which keeps your blood sugar steady and can lower food cravings. I'm not a nutritionist, but I play sports competitively & have just put a lot of money into learning the healthiest way to eat.. So if anyone has questions about food you can message me. :)

  • @HockeyDiane Soy is also full of proteins. You can get calcium from a handful of fresh spinach equivalent to a tall glass of cow milk. All the research you need can be found online if you put some time into it, and read multiple sources.

  • @HockeyDiane Agree about the fish! I wouldn't say it's typical American thinking.( I rarely eat burgers, chips and those sorts of things.) If you use the leanest cut beef or chicken and wholegrain (or no bread) with veggies on it, it's a balanced meal. I agree that potatoes, typically cooked, will dry the body out. However, boiled potatoes was what I was recommended to eat for carbs to reduce cramping when I did track. Potato chips are just oily salty and apparently carcinogenic. Yams are best.

  • Awesome vide

  • I think being vegetarian is not "the best thing". Why? Because we evolved by eating meat and vegetable. Not just vegetable.

    I think the heathiest diet is what your body tells you what it need. If you feel the need of vegetables, eat vegetable, if you feel the need of meat, eat meat. But do not eat the same food every day (or too much of it).

    Eat everything! =)

  • even if this wasn't directed at me, it's incredibly angry in itself, you shouldn't be so rude when someone states an opinion, even if it's wrong.

  • Do you REALLY believe that humans are herbivores? That is such a blind statement that it borders pure stupidity and ignorance! You do your research on human evolution and the diet. Meat has ALWAYS been a part of human nature and will (probably) always remain so! Most of the holidays celebrated are historically related to a hunting ritual or tradition! Get your fast straight!

    *Patiently awaits answer based on information from highly unsupported sources and nutjobs*

  • humans are naturally scavengers; we ate whatever we could find, which initially wouldn't have included meat but later did. What we need in our diet today and what we needed in our diet at the beginning of our rapid evolution are very different.

    You need to chill out dude XD

  • Comment removed

  • you should listen better it didn't say meat was bad. She is just pointing out the fact that modern meats are a lower grade. You are right of our evolution but no mention of domestic animals that we eats evolution. The modern day domestic animals are cows, pigs, and chickens. These animals were never found in the USA it was found in others. But they are fed corn a USA crop. They never evolved to eat corn. So they produce unhealthy fats that could harm us.

  • The source of better meat is organic. They feed the animals what nature and evolution intended. But organic meats only make up 1% of our modern day meat sales.

  • @nafativedec

    awesome comment! I think the same thing!

  • @nafativedec YES! THANK YOU! I totally agree, its so its nice to see someone use common sense and also look at our ancestral eating habits to explain what is the best diet. You are very right, the best diet is mixed because we ate mixed and out body have adapted to this, it will take thousands of years of pure vegan diet to make it as effective as a healthy balanced one!

  • What about gaining weight?

  • @Degenskonto

    Good question. There's people out there who have a below-average weight and would love to gain some more. But normally NOBODY ****** CARES about those!

  • @Shokukumi Yeah its all about losing weight. I honestly think that its harder to gain weight than to lose it... Whats harder, building a castle or ruining it?

  • @Degenskonto Well, I also think that way. Though I must say: I wouldn't know how it is for an overweight-person. So I reserve absolute judgement.

    I just think it's so sad that people think lightly of underweight, because it can be just as dangerous and uncomfortable.

  • By becoming obese, aren't you techninically ruining your body?

  • @SoylentCyan Who said anything about becoming obese?

  • Just fellow a random fat american and eat the crumbs he spill and you will gain in no time...

  • awesome!

  • Love the "pit stop" analogy!

  • coolios
