Agree that Fast Food Nation is another eye opener.

Personally I stopped eating fast food about 5 years ago. After eating anything I wanted (piss poor diet double cheeseburgers with extra grease    fries and a shake diet etc.) for so many years my body started braking down. When that happens there are 2 choices: get on the "meds" or make some lifestyle changes. Its actually quite amazing to me that I was able to reverse many health issues by simply changing what I ate. No meds involved.

It seems that the general USA mentality is "take a pill and you will feel better" or "cut it off"  mostly just treating the symptoms and not the actual cause of the problem. Apparently the late night tv advertising is working.

The percentage numbers for diseases in this country in recent years have gone through the roof.. like contributors at shutterstock. I can't remember where I got the info but they are predicting something like 1 out 5 kids born after the year 2000 will develop diabetes in his/her lifetime. Yikes!! I hope their wrong.

And if anyone hasn't noticed the weight epidemic in this country than frankly they haven't been alive long enough.

I hope I'm not sounding like a health freak here because I'm not, I just try to avoid the boxed, wrapped junk as much as possible 

I find the video disgusting. Western fast-food, plus sugar products in general, have become huge health problems in many countries here in Asia where people have traditionally been eating a low calorie diet. When I arrived in Thailand for the first time, some 30 years ago, weight problems was something almost unheard of. Now, in the cities, it's so common, particularly among young people, that I hardly notice anymore.

You can always claim that people make their own choices, but with the help of the ultra efficient marketing machines of conglomerates like McDonald's and KFC, and little or no information about the health effects, people are easily convinced that this must be good, like most things coming from abroad.

So making fun of people who haven't seen a hamburger before, which is what the video is doing, only serves one purpose: get the junk out to those poor, uninformed souls before they die of old age.

I do eat a Whopper now and then and actually find it tasty, but I come from the Europe, and I've been informed about the importance of a varied diet all  my life. In very many countries, people don't get that information, simply because this has never been a problem until they got invaded by the junk industry.

I wonder who financed the video, and what is the ultimate purpose of it.

Edit: Now I know. Burger King financed it, so obviously the purpose is to sell more hamburgers. What a surprise
