Read and answer the following four questions about the text

Put your hands up. You can continue to put your hands up, aunties and uncles as well. Most of you. OK. We, the adults of the last four generations, have blessed our children with the destiny of a shorter life span than their own parents. Your child will live a life ten years younger than you because of the landscape of food that we’ve built around them. Two-thirds of this room, today, in America, are statistically overweight or obese. You lot, you’re all right, but we’ll get you eventually, don’t worry.
The statistics of bad health are clear, very clear. We spend our lives being paranoid about death, murder, homicide, you name it; it’s on the front page of every paper, CNN. Look at homicide at the bottom, for God’s sake.
Every single one of those in the red is a diet- related disease. Any doctor, any specialist will tell you that. Fact; diet-related disease is the biggest killer in the United States, right now, here today.
I know they were close, but not that close. We need a revolution. Mexico, Australia, Germany, India, China, all have massive problems of obesity and bad health. Think about smoking. It costs way less than obesity now. Obesity costs you Americans 10 percent of your health-care bills, 150 billion dollars a year. In 10 years, it’s set to double: 300 billion dollars a year. Let’s be honest, guys, you haven't got that cash.
