Cal I feel like you missed a big opportunity here to talk about the historic issues of the town/ local authority and why that has contributed to the current poor economic situation and the knock on effect on peoples health eg. Closure of the mines, lack of industry. Great vid but there’s so much more to it than fast food!

There was a lot of talk about prices but somehow the word 'poverty' never appeared in the video. Might be wrong but I'm pretty sure Blaenau Gwent is the most deprived local authority in Wales overall. There's a pretty linear relationship between poverty and obesity. Not to take individual agency away from anyone - your body is still your responsibility - but I wonder how much that gym costs. An economic barrier for some and a hurdle for plenty more (not that they're jumping hurdles eyyyoooooo gottem).

To make a point in defence of the Welsh Valleys (as a welshman) since the decline in the job roles in places like Ebbw vale, as like many Valley communities. Plus the decline in support for the people living in these towns and the rise of cheap and easy food venues which are normally much cheaper then the "healthy shops" which is what has caused the epidemic in places like Ebbw.
Support is needed for these communities from the Welsh government with access to things like healthy start wales, job improvements and opportunities and a real world investment is needed here. The NHS have programs but the waiting list is 3 years plus for people who are suffering with obesity. 2-4 years waiting for drug programs.
I hope that this helps to provide some context to the video, as it does highlight a major problem in wales.

Think this video missed the mark a bit…Came across a bit too London boys visit and laugh at a deprived Welsh town. Unfortunately this type of town is common across the whole of the UK & most people’s realities.

I feel like every thing you investigated is applicable to every single small/medium sized town in the UK. Fast food deals in windows, lack of fruit and veg shops, fast food chains.. the list goes on. In terms of what makes Ebbw Vale the ‘unhealthiest’ probably links back to the 80s when the mines & other secondary sector industries closed down and there was a lack of investment into the town. This resulted in many towns like this, but Ebbw Vale being one of the worst effected, having a very low income population & a severe lack of opportunities. Unfortunately, this has continued into the 21st century and the result is what you see today - a population with a small town mindset, lack of education on healthy eating, and easy unhealthy options all around them. Not the populations fault, more so the macro impact of a lack of investment in the area.

Well considering the fact that drugs and overeating both originate from anxiety and depression, it would be prudent to look at the socio-economic status and more importantly the study in detail the type of jobs most men there are engaged in, since, low paying labour jobs require husbands to be out of house all the time that leads to problems in marriage and affects the child in the house too.

News flash, this is everywhere in the UK. Not saying this to have a go at you for being out of touch but this is the reality of the UK, it's not all London and personal trainers and chefs etc. Alot of people in small towns which once relied on industry are now in tatters as the industry has dried up, less work for "low skilled" workers, poor transport etc leads to unemployment which means less money which means of course you're gonna get 4 pizzas for a quid over 4 oranges. Ultimately everyone is in charge of what they eat and how much they excersise but it's not by chance that the most unhealthy places are the most impoverished.

There was a cool opportunity here to explore and highlight some of the systemic reasons why small, underfunded towns have an obesity problem, but the extent of the "investigation" was pretty underwhelming. There's a reason why there's only fast food places, there's a reason why the people in such rural areas are depressed and lazy, but most of the real factors were ignored and left the video feeling pretty surface level

I feel like this could’ve been a really interesting way to investigate the privileges around being able to call yourself ‘healthy’. You mention the prices of fresh fruit and veg but failed to mention how most of this town are materially and culturally deprived.
This is why we are seeing an epidemic of obesity caused by a lack of access and opportunity, something which the government fails to tackle in a multitude of towns and cities across the UK.
I do actually really enjoy your content, I just feel you missed an opportunity here to explore the depth of this systemic issue. Oh and the BMI is a scientifically flawed form of measuring health (rather it focuses on generalised aesthetics at large)

what is this absolute bottom tier journalism haha two skinny lads from london visit iceland and farmfoods for the first time, wow!! so insightful and challenging questions asked. no mention of cost of living crisis and socioeconomics. the whole video couldve been 1 minute long, "why do you think this town is fat?" "Because theres a lack of healthy alternatives to fast and cheap food"

alternative title: i copy tyler oliveira, go to farmfoods and mock poor people (no research was made in the process of making this video)

feels like calfreezy is just patronising the whole place and its people

This was genuinely the most infuriating video to watch. Maybe you guys mean well, but it’s a bit of a slap in the face to hear you talk about the problem of obesity in the town without really considering why it’s such a problem. I know the prices of food were mentioned, but I think it’s important to note that Blaenau Gwent is one of the most deprived counties in the UK. Things like gym memberships are not necessarily financially accessible and most people are working long hours and don’t have the time to prepare nutritious meals frequently. I don’t think showing up and interviewing random people, then panning to overweight locals just going about their day, is the best way to approach the topic to be honest. It kind of screams entitlement.

As someone that lives in ebbw vale, it used to be thriving with loads of different jobs like the steel works. But since that closed we have been deserted
