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.
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.
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.
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.

Harold Warbuckle and I went to a very expensive restaurant last night. I had roasted lamb with green beans. It tasted awful, I mean really, really bad! It was the most food I had ever eaten. I think they left the wool* on the when they cooked it because it was like eating a pullover. After dinner we decided to go to MacRonald's because we were still hungry. It was delicious and we ate and ate until we were completely . We couldn't eat another bite! Harold and I both agreed that we would never eat expensive food again. From now on, we'll only eat like burgers, pizza, hot dogs and chips. Although we will probably become big and , we can just go on a afterwards.
* Note: "Wool" is a material used to make pullovers, socks and gloves for winter.

1 disgusting: A "disgusting (meal)" tastes repulsive or very bad. In this broadcast, Brent asks Moira if "haggis" is the Scottish word for "disgusting". Note that the term "disgusting" is not reserved exclusively for describing taste or cuisine. Example: The behaviour of that man is disgusting, he has no morals. In this sentence, "disgusting" means inappropriate, morally offensive or repulsive.
2 sheep: A sheep is a four-legged animal that eats grass in fields. A young sheep is called a "lamb", while the female sheep is sometimes called a "ewe". When sheep is cooked and prepared to be eaten, it is occasionally called "mutton" and the dish which is prepared from their ribs is called "lamb chops". The coat or fur of the sheep is called wool or fleece and is used to make pullovers, blankets, vests and other such items. In this broadcast, Brent describes "haggis" as a sheep's stomach stuffed or filled with animal organs. To learn more about the amazing sheep visit a local butcher or sheep farm. Note that "sheep" is both the singular and plural form of the noun: a sheep, the sheep.
3 stuffed: To "stuff (a chicken)" is to fill it until there is no space left. We use the term figuratively as well to describe the sensation of "overeating" or eating too much (the stomach is "full of food", with no room left). In this broadcast, Brent and Moira discuss Haggis, which is a Scottish dish comprised of a sheep's stomach, "stuffed" or "filled" with animal organs. Note that as a noun, "stuff" has an entirely different meaning. The term is a very general way to refer to "things". Example: I have a lot of stuff to do OR There is a lot of stuff on my desk.
4 junk food: "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. Here the speaker is describing his resolution to eat exclusively low-quality food like burgers, pizza and chips. In the broadcast, Moira speculates that the cause of obesity in America is due to repeated consumption of "junk food".
5 fat: The adjective "fat" describes the state of being "heavy", "obese" or "overweight". Here the speaker is describing the inevitable result of eating only "junk food". In this broadcast, Brent and Moira debate the cause of the majority of Americans being "fat".
6 diet: A "diet" is the particular range or selection of foods that someone eats. Here the term is used as part of the idiom "to go on a diet", which describes eating (or abstaining from eating) certain foods in order to lose weight (or become thin). Here the speaker indicates that after becoming "fat", he will "diet" in order to lose weight afterwards. In this broadcast, Brent and Moira refer to both the American and Mediterranean diet.
