The truth about trans fat | 60 Minutes Australia 

Synopsis | The Hidden Killer (2010) Think about what you've eaten today. If you've strayed too far from the dietary straight and narrow, there's a fair chance you've consumed something called Trans Fat. Trans Fat is every bit as nasty as it sounds. It's a toxic, man-made chemical used to increase the shelf life of food. As far as fats go, it's the worst of the worst. It's been banned elsewhere in the world, but here in Australia it's in everything from fried food to biscuits, clogging our arteries and contributing to appalling level of heart disease. The question is - why is something so bad for us still on the menu?

 

Why Americans Can’t Keep Their Paychecks

More than half of Americans earning more than $100,000 a year say they’re living paycheck to paycheck, according to a report from PYMNTS and LendingClub. This may be a result of a sneaky behavioral phenomenon called lifestyle creep, which is when a person’s spending habits expand as their income rises. The rise in the cost of living complicates matters, as incomes have not kept up with inflation. So what’s going on? “I think people hold these benchmarks in their mind [of], if I reach this position or I get this promotion or I make it to this age, then I can live this life, or then I deserve to have these things,” said Sabrina Romanoff, a clinical psychologist who works with clients struggling with financial stress. “Then they kind of go a little crazy or go a little wild on it, and then it becomes like a trade-off, like they only can enjoy their present happiness and they’re not able to save or plan for the future.” But spending more may not be as simple as people wanting to indulge. Many Americans simply don’t have enough money to make ends meet because their incomes have not been keeping up with the rise in costs of living. “The idea that people save and they just hit a point where they feel like they deserve [to spend more]; I fully disagree with that,” said Saprina Allen, a budgeting coach who offers insights and guidance to her more than 100,000 TikTok followers on how to be more conscious about money. “When most people don’t have $1,000 in the bank, like most people cannot handle a tire blowout or they’re going to put it on credit.” Allen breaks down lifestyle inflation into two buckets. One is that “general idea of what lifestyle inflation is, which is the buying fancy cars, the buying nice things along those lines,” she said. The second bucket, she said, is more about “everyday things that, if you’re living paycheck to paycheck, you’re going without.” These may be necessary goods or services, such as going to the dentist or getting the car’s oil changed regularly. “There was a time in my life when [an] oil change was just like, not even a priority,” Allen said. “I’m trying to keep tires on my car. I’m trying to keep it running. I’m trying to keep the registration paid. I’m not concerned about an oil change.” Living paycheck to paycheck makes people vulnerable to accumulating high-interest credit card debt. Almost half, 46%, of Americans said they held a balance on their credit card because of an emergency expense, according to a September 2022 CreditCards.com survey. Experts recommend having an emergency fund to fall back on with roughly three to six months’ worth of living expenses. Watch the video above to learn more about why Americans are struggling to keep their money in their pockets.

Four out of five people here are overweight or obese, putting an increasing strain on the health service and making it Britain’s fattest Borough. TalkTV visits the town with the highest percentage of obese people in the country where some of the takeaways are delivering to the same addresses up to three times a day. We speak to local residents about how this is impacting the town and if there’s anything that can be done to reverse the ever-upwardly increasing scales.

Our Consumer Society

I explore our consumer society, looking at the history, philosophy, psychology, and sociology of what consumerism really means. Is it a useful concept? Where did it appear from? Are there alternatives? How is the desire that drives consumption manufactured? Are we shallow? Is there any possibility of ethical consumption? To help answer some of these questions I draw from thinkers including Jean Baudrillard, Fredric Jameson, and David Harvey.

Junk Food: The Dark Side of the Food

40% of the global population is overweight or obese. Highly processed industrial foodstuffs are largely to blame. But food companies continue to focus on products that are addictive. Sugar is one of the strongest "drugs” and can get consumers really hooked. Food giants know this only too well. That’s why they use sugar, fats and flavor enhancers to encourage people to buy their products and boost their profits. The result: more and more people around the world are overweight or obese. Illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease are becoming more prevalent. What can be done to change or even put a stop to the food industry’s strategies? #documentary #dwdocumentary #junkfood #food

FAT: A Documentary (1080p) FULL MOVIE - Health & Wellness, Diet, Food

FAT tells the far-fetched but completely true history of how our country became so unhealthy. In 1970, just over 1.5 million people had been diagnosed with Diabetes in the United States. Now over 30 million have Diabetes. What's even more alarming is that 100 million people, 1 in 3, have Diabetes or are Pre-Diabetic. This is not to mention the 40% of the population that are obese. How is this possible with the non-stop flow of new diets, exercise machines and our general obsession with health and weight loss? We're as unhealthy as ever. The truth is that we have pretty much had everything completely upside-down and backwards. FAT traces a detailed history spanning 150 years to show how misinformation and outright lies have become "truth." #fullmovie #freemovie #GravitasFilms #hdfilms
