From the list below, choose the TRUE statements according to the broadcast.

There may be more than one correct answer!

The percentage of obese people in America is about the same as in other countries.

This statement is false. Brent reports that the rate of obesity in America is "significantly higher than in any other country in the world". If this rate is higher in American than in other countries, then the percentage of obese or very overweight people in the America is NOT the same as in other countries.

According to Moira, many Americans are fat because they eat a lot of unhealthy food.

This is a true statement. When Brent asks Moira, "Why are Americans so fat?", she replies, "the American diet often consists of large portions of food high in saturated fat." She goes on to say that she finds the amount of "junk food" consumed by Americans to be astonishing (or amazing). "Junk food" is a term used to describe food which has little or no nutritional value such as fast food from McDonald's or candy with artificial colors and flavors.

The Mediterranean diet consists of small portions of food that are rich in saturated fat.

This statement is false. Moira does say that the Mediterranean diet includes "small portions of high quality foods" but then she adds that they are "low in saturated fat". The Mediterranean diet does not contain very much saturated fat.

Brent and Moira discuss a traditional Scottish dish made from the internal organs of an animal.

This is a true statement. Brent mentions the specialty of Scottish cuisine: "a sheep's stomach stuffed with lung, liver and heart meat". A sheep is an animal that lives in a field and has a thick, white, woolly coat. "Haggis" is made from the internal organs of a sheep.
