1
Even if they want to cut down,
2
even if they know it's killing them,
3
they find they can't stop.
4
My name's Chris Van Tiliken.
5
I'm an NHS doctor.
6
I'm a scientist.
7
And I'm part of a growing group of doctors
8
and academics who are increasingly worried about the effect that the global food system is having on all of us.
9
When it comes to obesity,
10
the way that we've understood the problem is it's a failure of willpower.
11
People are just making bad choices.
12
They're somewhat lazy.
13
It's basically their fault.
14
This is American government data for men and women of all different ages,
15
the different lines of different ages, for obesity.
16
What you see is, between 1960 and 1975,
17
there's a fairly steady percentage of obesity in the population.
18
But in the mid-1970s, obesity starts going up in all of the groups simultaneously.
19
Now, if you're saying willpower is responsible,
20
what you're proposing is that all of these groups of people simultaneously lost moral responsibility,
21
and that's not plausible.
22
Something else happened to our food in the mid-1970s to make it irresistible to people.
23
My name's John Ruff, and I've spent 40 years in the food industry across seven different countries.
24
Companies spend a lot of time optimising all aspects of their product,
25
the flavour, the taste, the texture.
26
People want their product to be as good,
27
if not better, than the competitor,
28
so it will sell more.
29
We use trained sensory panels to give us ratings.
30
Is it squishy?
31
Is it hard?
32
Is it soft?
33
Is it crunchy?
34
That's very much how the food industry operates.
35
One thing many people don't realise is that factory processing changes the textual properties of food.
36
An interesting fact about soft food is you're not chewing it as much.
37
That actually short-circuits the normal satiety mechanisms that you would have if you were actually chewing food properly.
38
So you're bypassing a normal mechanism that tells you you're full.
39
Once you've worked out that playing around with the texture of a food,
40
making it softer, tricks that normal satiety or fullness mechanism,
41
clearly there's an opportunity there for some kind of scurrilous behaviour in making food softer
42
so that people will eat more and therefore you sell more of your product.
43
So much of the packaged food that we eat is incredibly soft.
44
My kids love these.
45
You don't typically think of this as being a soft food because it's a bit crunchy,
46
but actually after that initial crunch,
47
But actually after that initial crunch you can just crush it with your tongue, right?
48
It's got no resistance at all But in terms of the calories per gram,
49
it's got way more calories than even a very fatty burger
50
So the softness and the energy density mean
51
that you consume it incredibly quickly
52
And there's a food industry term for these very light puffy foods
53
that melt in the mouth It's called vanishing caloric density Gone
54
The thing that makes us eat a lot isn't just what we do to the food.
55
It's also about logos, marketing,
56
branding, the box the food comes in.
57
Eating is a multi-sensory experience.
58
There's the look of the food,
59
there's the smell of the food,
60
there's the feeling of the food on your fingers.
61
Even the sound of food matters.
62
When you open a fizzy soda, you've got two noises.
63
You've got the click and the tear.
64
Sound engineers and manufacturers work really hard to get that sound just That's right,
65
and that's sonic branding.
66
Many companies have asked me to work on sonic branding for them,
67
and I think I can mention when I was working with Kellogg,
68
they said, ooh, what's sonic branding?
69
And I said, you invented this.
70
Most people will remember as children the experience of lifting a ball to their ear.
71
What are they listening for?
72
Snap, Crackle and Pop.
73
That's Sonic branding at its best, and that's the original.
74
There's a lot of competition out there,
75
and food companies make their money by the amount of products we consume from them.
76
So there's a stomach share that they're fighting for,
77
and there are hours in the day in between breakfast, lunch and dinner.
78
What happens between those hours?
79
They want us to snack.
80
You wake up, and this is what you have.
81
Snack number one.
82
Breakfast shake, ultra-processed.
83
This is heavily marketed for you to have on the go.
84
Do not sit down.
85
Do not take time to crunch through something.
86
Snack number two of the day.
87
It's empty calories.
88
Energy-dense, nutrient-poor.
89
Midday, you're starting to get a little bit peckish,
90
and what do you have?
91
Veggie straws.
92
This is a good example of a health-claim snacking product.
93
Whereas before we would have had food,
94
actual food, now we are marketed into believing that this is actually a healthy replacement.
95
Some snacking products have now been made to be linked with being physically active.
96
So after the gym, I have a high protein,
97
low sugar bar, instead of having a healthier option.
98
You finish having dinner and you have these snacks that are sold to you as more to share,
99
where, in fact, you can just finish them watching the TV by yourself.
100
I do like them.
101
I cannot stop eating them. And I literally can't.
102
Oh, my God.
103
I think one of the biggest problems with this kind of food is
104
that so many of us struggle to stop eating it.
105
Hi, everyone.
106
I'm so thrilled to be here today to speak with you on my research
107
that looks at parallels between addictive substances and ultra-processed food.
108
When we look at the sorts of foods that trigger those key diagnostic indicators of addiction,
109
it's really clear what it's not.
110
It's not minimally processed foods like fruits or vegetables or beans or lean meats like chicken breast.
111
It's really processed foods.
112
It's chocolate.
113
It's ice cream.
114
It's pizza.
115
It's foods that don't exist in nature.
116
The potency and the reward power of these ultra-processed foods can trigger an addictive response
117
that leads them to consume these in such a compulsive way that even if they want to cut down,
118
even if they know it's killing them,
119
they find they can't stop.
120
Imagine you're trying to cut down an ultra-processed food or avoid it altogether.
121
For a start, it might be the only food you can afford,
122
and that is true for millions of people.
123
But it's everywhere.
124
And it's engineered and then marketed by some of the smartest people on earth to be irresistible.
125
So if someone is watching this and they are struggling with their weight,
126
with diet-related disease, I just want to reach out and grab them and go,
127
reach out and grab them and go,
128
this is not your fault,
129
it is not you, it is the food.
130
The Food and Drink Federation declined our request for an interview but provided this statement.
131
Food and drink manufacturers take the issue of obesity
132
and poor diets very seriously and we know we have a key role to play in helping people to eat balanced diets.
133
Our members continue to invest hundreds of millions of pounds in creating healthier products for shoppers.
134
As a result, UK shopping baskets now contain significantly less salt,
135
sugar and calories than they did a decade ago.
136
Companies are also working to raise the fibre,
137
fruit and vegetable content of their products.
138
It's of course up to government if they want to introduce new taxes or warning labels.
139
However, taxes will push up the cost of food and could disincentivise ongoing investment in healthier products.
140
We think there are more effective ways to encourage positive dietary change. On labelling,
141
we believe the UK's traffic light system is a more positive way of nudging consumers towards healthier choices than warning labels,
142
where global evidence suggests the longer-term impact is limited.
143
However, we would support a labelling review,
144
including to test whether consistent positive labelling on all healthier products would help consumers.
145
The government's Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition had said there's insufficient
146
scientific evidence on the concept of ultra-processed foods for it to be used for dietary guidance or policymaking,
147
and that further research is needed.
148
If research comes to light that processing is a cause for concern,
149
the food industry will act quickly to change their ingredients or processes.

Übungstipps

Um Ihre Englische Aussprache verbessern zu können, sollten Sie das Konzept des shadow speech oder shadowspeaks anwenden. Schauen Sie sich das Video in kleinen Abschnitten an und wiederholen Sie die Sätze gleichzeitig mit dem Sprecher. Achten Sie dabei besonders auf die Intonation, den Rhythmus und die Pausen. Die Geschwindigkeit des Videos kann Ihre Herausforderung sein – versuchen Sie, am Anfang langsamer zu üben, bevor Sie sich dem Originaltempo anpassen. Diese Übung wird Ihnen helfen, ein natürlicheres shadow speak zu entwickeln, was zu einer flüssigeren und selbstbewussteren Kommunikation im Englischen führen kann.

Zusätzlich empfiehlt es sich, die Schlüsselvokabeln mehrmals laut zu wiederholen, um sich sowohl an die Aussprache als auch an die Verwendung im Kontext zu gewöhnen. Indem Sie diese Techniken regelmäßig anwenden, werden Sie Ihr Englisch wirksam verbessern und Ihre Fähigkeit, über komplexe Themen zu sprechen, erweitern.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
