Mate, come on, don't be like that, we were just having a jolly good bit of banter about how much richer we are than these peasants we are surrounded by!

What what!
 
Ok, on a serious note what about:

So, you think you are living healthily?

That must be close to rhetorical.?
 
Personally, I would start with a preamble. Use something that highlights the fundamental issue of your topic. Perhaps something along the lines of "The U.K. today has a polarised approach on how to live. On the one hand there are unprecedented levels of fitness club membership and purchases of 'healthy' foods. Conversely, however, the same is true for the number of obese people and poor diets, particularity in children."

I always start essays and exams in such a manner. Obviously you'd be better at deciding what exactly to say, but it always grabs the listeners/viewers attention, and from the outset the context for the talk is clear.
