Home listening task unit 2 “Tolerance”

Link of the podcast.

Summary:

Well, this week the professor left us with the task of analyzing a fragment of a podcast regarding obesity, the video talks about how people with obesity have to spend their day to day, it also mentions some stereotypes of which people with obesity suffer during their day to day life in social networks or in person, as it is well known the obesity rate has been growing for the last 20 years, due to high calories and sugars in the most popular foods in recent times. They also talk about how there are some events that help these people who suffer from obesity to take part.La obesidad: la mortal enfermedad del mundo rico - AS.com

In my personal opinion I believe that people (including myself) should be a little more committed to their body, I don’t say this to “love oneself” but rather to not create health problems such as obesity. Obesity is more than a physical state, it is a disease, a disorder, so I feel that it should be treated as soon as possible or at least not to make the situation worse.

 

To finish I found this interesting link about this topic.
