This is Dr. Robert H. Lustig M..D.
He did a lecture on why there is obesity and his view as to what is causing it.
It is a long video but well worth it. His points are incredibly valid, it's hard not to believe him by the end of it. It's scary to think that our lives are so run by food and the option of healthy food is so limited. Please view this video.
To me it's all about education. I understand that not everyone is interested in being a nutrition nut, personal trainer, bodybuilder, athlete etc...but if we all work to be educated in health and fitness I believe it will better our world overall. It is YOUR body but I encourage you to treat it with respect. Why abuse it? The only thing you satisfy when you eat an oreo is your psychological well-being and it's a temporary high because we all know you eat another an hour later or want something else unhealthy and the habit continues to grow. There are a lot of negative things in this world that are there maybe intentionally or unintentionally that harm us. We can't always change our environment but we can change how we choose to live in it.
You don't have to watch the whole thing at once. Maybe just a little bit at a time. Try not to analyze everything he says or shut him off because you don't agree. There are points I don't necessarily agree with but I still watch to understand where HE is coming from. Enjoy it, and think about it :) Start changing the way you live in this world for the better.
Live, Smile, and Love,
Mere
