The U.K. is on the brink of an obesity epidemic, one that will cost as additional $90 billion per year by 2050, says a study called The Foresight Report. This is a government-led research project that says that by 2050, 60 per cent of adult men, 50 per cent of adult women and about 25 per cent of all children under 18 could be obese. "Britain has become a nation where overweight is the norm," reads the report. This lesson looks at the language of obesity and weight loss. The news reporter's accent is Canadian English.
