NICKI heart nutritionous with us this morning, NICKI, 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: good morning, Hi Ryan. 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: Isn't it beggars belief? Really? Doesn't it? 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 2: It does? What are we talking about? Fizzy drinks and stuff? 9 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: We're talking ultra processed foods that you probably don't even 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: think that you're eating. That's ultra process So it's high 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: unhealthy fats and sugar and salty food. No, big manufacturers 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: are paying billions of dollars to make you want to 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: eat efforts. So you know, it's really hard out there 14 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: for people to make healthy choices. We've been bombarded. 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: When you say I won't necessarily know I'm eating it, 16 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: give me an example, because I know a cannon coke's 17 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: not going to be good for me. 18 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's canned foods that we bring in. It's 19 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: packets of biscuits and crackers. You think, oh, well, they've 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: got a health claim on them, but they're disguising their 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: product because what they're doing is they're making you want 22 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: it by mouthfield. They've spent millions of dollars making you 23 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: like the product that you want it more and more, 24 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: so they upsize it and they market it to you 25 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: with pretty colors so that kids are looking at it. 26 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: They do it all by stealth, they absolutely do. 27 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: But we don't just have stomachs, we have brains. Surely 28 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: we can, you know, we can distinguish between a chicken 29 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: nugget and a piece of chicken. 30 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, but don't forget that this is being marketed to 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: a lot of vulnerable communities. They put it in a 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: way that children get to see it so that they 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: come to you wanting it. It's really there's a lot 34 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: of money and time goes into this that makes these 35 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: children want it. Our races, our rates of childhood obesity 36 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: are going through the roof, And you know, I find 37 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: it kind of paradoxical that big farm we've got big 38 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: food manufacturing spending billions on this, and then we've got 39 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: big farmer spending billions on dollar dollars on GLP one injections. 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: So we've got some on some side making huge amounts 41 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: of money making us want and eat foods to make 42 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: us un healthy, and then we've got the other side 43 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: selling us injections to make us lose weight, that big 44 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: food industry. 45 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: Cause so it's crazy, but we're we're I mean, we 46 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 2: have brains, but we do it. You know, like the 47 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: Wendy's goes in the belt goes out the way GOV 48 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: goes in the belt comes back and does it actually 49 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: matter what we eat? You know, if we have Waygov in, 50 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: our problem solved. 51 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: Nikki Oh no, because like these are those are creating 52 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: highly community like non communicable diseases, you know, like it's 53 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: it's hurting our people. I just think we need to 54 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: be better at our regulations. We need to you know. 55 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: I just don't like the idea that in in communities 56 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: where people are vulnerable, big food industry goes in and 57 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: they will color the side of a dairy in bright 58 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: colors so that children go in and buy these drinks 59 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: and packets of food because it looks pretty. I think 60 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: it's got a be tough on it. 61 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: We really appreciate your time this morning.
