12:15Now PlayingAmericans are bombarded by ultra-processed foods—products engineered with additives, preservatives, and unhealthy fats—to the extent that such foods now account for about 55% of total daily calories in the U.S., with kids and teens consuming nearly 62%. Clinical trials reveal that even when nutrition is matched, people lose twice as much weight on minimally processed, home-cooked diets compared to ultra-processed ones—highlighting the powerful effect of processing itself on overeating and fat accumulation.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how these ultra-palatable, addictive products hijack our brains and fuel obesity, chronic diseases, and poor health outcomes. They urges viewers to demand real food, avoid chemically laden packaged goods, and focus on whole ingredients that nourish both body and society.
