LISTENING SKILLS

1 RT007 Listen to the radio programme about obesity. Are the statements true, false or not stated?

1 In Britain obesity has recently become a much bigger problem than smoking.

2 By 2025 over 50 percent of teenagers in Great Britain will be seriously overweight.

3 The number of obese people in the UK is now twice as high as twenty years ago.

4 Experts are very clear as to why peopletasks calorie requirement is much lower now than before.

5 Scientists believe that the sensation of hunger is genetically determined.

6 Peopletasks claims about how much they eat and exercise are often misjudged.

7 The results of the studies show that overweight people should be much more careful with what they eat than slim people.

Porter: Hello and welcome to today s programme! Have you ever been on a diet? Do you sometimes look in the mirror and see yourself in a body that somehow does not seem yours? In today s programme I ll be investigating the growing problem of obesity, a condition which now competes with smoking as the biggest single preventable cause of ill health in the UK. Over half of all British adults and one in three teenagers is carrying too much weight. And it is predicted that if the nation s waistline continues to expand at this rate by 2025 over 45 per cent of men and over 35 per cent of women in Great Britain will be seriously overweight or clinically obese. That ll make Britain the fattest nation in Europe. Indeed among all the countries in the developed world only the Americans weigh in heavier. First, back to basics. Why has the number of obese people in Britain tripled over the last twenty years? Where are we going wrong? Dr Susan Jebb is a scientist at the Medical Research Council and one of the UK s foremost authorities in the fi eld of nutrition and health.

Jebb: Well, today food s available 24/7 and takes seconds to prepare. And that s coincided with us expending less energy we need fewer calories than ever before because we drive to work, spend the day at the computer and then reward ourselves for such a hard day by flopping in front of the television all evening. I m afraid obesity s an almost inevitable consequence of eating too much and doing too little.

Porter: But the problem seems to have become particularly bad in the last twenty or thirty years. Is there good evidence that we re actually burning considerably fewer calories a day than we were say in the 50s and 60s?

Jebb: Without a doubt. People s lives are quite, quite different. There are virtually no manual occupations left anymore and even those that we think of as quite labour intensive people working building the roads for example are now massively assisted by machinery. We just don t walk anywhere even for short journeys we all tend to jump in the car.

Porter: Are some people more likely to gain weight than others, due to the make-up of their metabolism or is it just simply a matter of energy balance?

Jebb: In the end it does all come down to calories in versus calories out. But what we increasingly recognize is that some people are genetically much more likely to become obese, but that predisposition might work in quite interesting ways. For example, some people might feel the sensation of hunger much more acutely than others and therefore are driven to go in search of food. And that s going to put them in the long term at greater risk of gaining too much weight.

Porter: So how does that stack up with the often quoted excuse that, doctor, I eat like a church mouse, and I just seem to pile on the pounds, while a friend of mine can eat anything they like and they remain stick thin?

Jebb: I m afraid when we really put those sort of claims to the test they just don t hold up. People unfortunately find it very difficult to really know exactly how much they ve eaten, or indeed exactly how many calories they ve burnt off . We all have this tendency to underestimate what we eat but to overestimate how much exercise we do. If we bring people into our research unit to study this in great detail what we ve shown is that if you overfeed both thin or overweight people by exactly the same amount of calories they both gain weight at exactly the same rate. And conversely if you underfeed them by the same number of calories they lose weight at the same rate. After many, many years of research what we ve been forced to conclude is that metabolism, for the most part, is very, very predictable. What matters is individual behaviour and that s what seems to determine whether people gain weight easily or not.

Paul Lewis: Hello and welcome to the first Real Story Interactive! Tonight we re discussing just one of the items in tonight s Real Story identity theft. Pensioner Derek Bond is the latest victim of this disturbing crime. Although his case is unusual, and that s why it made the headlines, thousands of people across the country have had their identity stolen. It s done by criminals who want to steal their money, use their credit card or buy items from shops without paying for them. The industry estimates it costs nearly 1.4 billion pounds a year. So what can we do to stop it? With me tonight to discuss identity theft, and to answer your questions are Tom Craig, a former Scotland Yard detective, who now runs his own security consultancy, and Brenda Rost from Experian, the company that holds credit records on all of us. And we want to hear, of course, from you with questions or views on identity theft. You can email via the website: www.bbc.co.uk/realstory or you can text us on 07736 100 100. But let s start by talking to Tom Craig about just how common this is. Tom, we say Derek Bond s case was unusual but do many people go through something like he did?

Tom Craig: Yes, there are quite a number of people who do not being locked up for three weeks but certainly going through the experience at the airport by being taken to one side and accused of something that they clearly were not involved in.

Paul Lewis: And how does this happen? Presumably because a criminal has got hold of their identity and used it, in Derek Bond s case for fourteen years, without them knowing about it.

Tom Craig: Absolutely correct.

Paul Lewis: And how do they do that?

Tom Craig: Well, it s actually quite easy to do: by taking letters from boxes, by going to the library, by reading a newspaper. There are so many different ways that you can actually obtain someone s identity and use it, because very few people actually check that it is the genuine person that they are dealing with.

Paul Lewis: And Brenda Rost from Experian. Obviously what happened to Derek Bond is a very serious crime, where a criminal used his identity for many years and committed serious crimes, but that s not what happens in the day-to-day identity theft, if I can call it that, where people steal your identity just to buy a hifi or something like that. How does that happen?

Brenda Rost: Well basically it is quite similar to a certain extent because your identity is essentially a combination of documents it s your birth certificate, passport, driving licence, your name on the electoral role. And all the fraudster needs to do is to put together a combination of these documents and essentially they can be you.

Paul Lewis: And so when you ve got that information you can then go to a shop, present yourself, pretend to be Brenda Rost or Paul Lewis, and buy something. How do you then get it delivered to the right address or do you just walk away with it?

Brenda Rost: Well yes, fraudsters will actually set up accommodation addresses, they ll set up false addresses. What they ll do is they ll get a certain amount of information that they know to be true about the victim that they re impersonating, and then they ll also put a bit more information on, such as an alternative address, and often they ll get goods delivered to that address.

Paul Lewis: Well, we ll talk about some of the solutions later but we ve got emails coming in. We ve had one from Anthony Hevey who says: I recently had a theft of my national record of achievement from my bag at a skate park. What can I do to find this or prevent it being used fraudulently? Please answer this, I m very worried. I m not surprised, Tom.

Tom Craig: Well that s a difficult one ...

HAVE YOUR SAY

Well, just answer these simple questions for yourself. How much time do you spend each day reading newspapers? And how much time do you read on-line?

Tim Brown, UK

Why should they be? Because of the influence of the Internet? It is just a big library. Of a different kind.
