أزمة البدانة في العالم

Hello! Welcome to BBC Xtra English. Today's programme is about obesity.

A report in the British medical journal, The Lancet, says that governments should do more to solve the world obesity crisis and that it's likely to get worse if current trends continue.

We hear a report about the problems related to this crisis, including statistics showing that larger amounts of health care budgets are being spent on obesity-related problems.

In some countries, people are less active and food is more easily available, so this can have an impact on health. Many people are eating more junk food and doing less physical activity.

Should the government be encouraging people to have a more healthy diet?

Or should junk food be better labelled? Perhaps healthy food should be cheaper than unhealthy food?

What can governments and the food industry do about obesity and what can we do?

ما الذي يمكن للحكومات والعاملين في مجال إنتاج الطعام القيام به لمواجهة البدانة، وما الذي يمكننا نحن القيام به؟
