Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating." But no one can ignore the damage being wrought by all
this bad eating. More than one out of three adults in the
United States -- 37.5 percent -- are obese, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some
of the leading causes of death -- heart disease, stroke
and type 2 diabetes -- are directly linked to obesity. And
childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years. With
more than a third of kids between 6 and 19 considered
obese, the CDC reports, they are at substantially more
risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
bone and joint conditions, and cancer.

Hope this helped!

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.

happy new year to yo!
