Global Junk Food: How the West Is Poisoning the Developing World

Editor's Take

Investigating how processed food is marketed across the developing world, this ENDEVR film contrasts the pledges made in European markets with the products pushed elsewhere. It traces the corporate strategies behind rising rates of obesity and diet-related disease, framing the spread of cheap food as a matter of commercial design. The reporting is pointed, building a clear case about responsibility and its uneven application.

Global Junk Food investigates how the fast-food industry markets cheap, processed products across the developing world. The ENDEVR film contrasts the responsibility pledges made in Europe with the sugar, salt, and additives pushed elsewhere, and the health toll that follows. It traces the corporate strategies driving rising obesity and disease in poorer countries. Hard-hitting and revealing, it exposes the hidden cost of a global appetite for junk food.
