| 0:00.0 | So since 1970, obesity has tripled in adults and almost tripled in children, okay? |
| 0:07.3 | So the answer is in the food statistics. I want to see if you could figure this out. So this data is based in America |
| 0:14.6 | 2014 on what an average American consumes per day. I put a link down below to see the entire report. |
| 0:22.3 | So let's see if you could figure this out, okay? Number one, vegetables. An average American consumes |
| 0:28.4 | 1.6 cups of vegetable per day. |
| 0:32.2 | Protein. 7.1 ounces. |
| 0:36.6 | Fat. 63 grams daily. So we get 44.7 grams of vegetable fat and 14.7 grams of saturated fat. |
| 0:47.9 | Grains. 0.48 pounds. That's half a pound a day. 174 pounds a year. |
| 0:55.1 | Sugar. 23 teaspoons per day. Or 131 pounds per year. Now this is added sugar. Okay, it's not the sugar within the food. |
| 1:06.1 | So what do you think? Go ahead and type it in the comments section. I'll wait for your answer. We'll give you a couple minutes. |
| 1:12.6 | Actually, this is recorded. I can't do that. But it's pretty obvious to me. Look at this, vegetables. 1.6 cups. |
| 1:19.5 | Now we need 7 to 10 cups. Okay, fat. 63 grams. That's not unreasonable. |
| 1:28.6 | This is too high, though, vegetable oil, because this actually is soy, canola, corn, GMO. This is a problem. |
| 1:36.7 | Okay? Grains a half a pound a day. Is that too much? That is way too much. A half a pound of grains. |
| 1:45.9 | And you're talking a lot of refined grains as well. And then we have added sugar. 23 teaspoons per day. |
| 1:53.3 | Is that excessive? How many is acceptable? Less than one. Zero. So I don't know if it's just me, |
| 2:01.8 | but it's so obvious of what's causing this. We need to increase the vegetables. We need to cut down |
| 2:08.1 | the vegetable oil. We need to eliminate these two right here. And this will go away. So some people |
| 2:16.1 | will tell you it's the saturated fat. But we're only consuming 14.7 grams of saturated fat every |
| 2:21.9 | single day. That is not the problem. These are the problem. So go ahead and type down your comments, |
| 2:29.5 | your opinion below. I'm really curious what you think about this data. |
