Short excerpt from a Vishen Lakhiani YouTube video about food cravings and sugar in packaged foods. Speaker A and Dev discuss reading ingredient labels (examples: Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, tomato sauce), emphasize that manufacturers add sugar to manipulate cravings, and urge consumers to stop buying such products rather than feeling disappointed. The excerpt is instructional and motivational, encouraging decisive action at the grocery store.

Go grocery shopping and look at the labels and observe where sugar is. Where is sugar in Rice Krispies? Second ingredient. Where is it? In Corn flakes, it's first. So when you read the ingredients, you pick up a jar of tomato sauce and you go, oh, my God. Sugar's the second ingredient. What? What I want you to do, take the jar and just smash it on the floor in the Whole Foods.
Okay? Now what I'm.
Really saying is.
Don'T buy it.
Don't look at it with disappointment. If you look at it with disappointment.
You'Re going to eat it.
Oh, man, I wish there wasn't sugar. Little food.
Dev, not your fault.
This is what I want you to do instead. I want you to look at it and go, what? Wtf? Because it's there to manipulate your cravings. It's there to stimulate your appetite. It's there to get you to eat more food. We have to stop buying it, or.
Smashing it on the floor would be good, too.
