Good stuff. I'm among the least susceptible to advertising, and sometimes it works against them. Specifically I avoid organic food because I associate it with higher price for no benefit (probably worse for the environment since it's grown at smaller economies of scale, which is part of why it costs more). My wife insists on no added hormone milk for our kid, which is the one indulgence I give her. She admits it's probably pointless. Our girl isn't going to be tall because of hormones from cows, she's going to be tall because I'm 6'2" and my wife is 6'1".
I'm the type to look at nutrition labels and make purchasing decisions based on that. Specifically I'm usually looking for the most calories per dollar since that's primarily what we're purchasing and the main reason we eat. My good fortune is that my appetite has always been in proportion to my physical activity level and muscle quantity. Since I haven't been working out in a year and a half, my weight is at an all time low.
Probably the healthiest change most people could make is to simply eat less of whatever they choose to eat. The takeaway from the video was "everything in moderation".
