Ban sugary drinks that will add fuel to the obesity war


[A] On a train last Thursday, I sat opposite a man who was so fat he
filled more than one seat. He was pale and disfigured and looked sick to
death,
which
he
probably
was:
obesity(
肥胖的
)leads
to
many
nasty
ways
of
dying. Looking around the carriage, I saw quite a few people like him,
2014
年英语四级阅读真题及答案解析

including
a
couple
of
fatty
children
with
swollen
checks
pressing
against
their eyes. These people are part of what is without exaggeration an
epidemic(
流行病
)of obesity.


[B]
But
it
is
quite
unnecessary:
there
is
a
simple
idea-
far
from
new-
that
could
spare
millions
of
such
people
a
lifetime
of
chronic(
长期的
)ill
health,
and
at
the
same
time
save
the
National
Health
Service(NHS)at
least

14 billion a year in England and Wales. There would, you might think,
be considerable public interest
in it.
This simple idea is that
sugar is
as good- or as bad- as poison and should be avoided. It is pure, white
and deadly, as Professor John Yudkin described it 40 years ago in a
revolutionary book of that name. The subtitle was How Sugar Is Killing
Us.


[C]
In
its
countless
hidden
forms,
in
ready
meals,
junk
food
and
sweet
drinks,
sugar
leads
to
addiction(

),
to
hormonal
upsets
to
the
appetite,
to metabolic(
新陈代谢的
)malfunctions and obesity and from there to type
2 diabetes(
糖尿病
)and its many horrible complication. If people really
grasped that, they would try to kick the habit, particularly as Britain
is the “ fat man of Europe” . They might even feel driven to support
government measures to prevent people from consuming this deadly stuff.
Yet so far this idea has met little but resistance.


[D] It is not difficult to imagine the vested interests(
既得利益集

)lined up against any sugar control- all the food and drink
manufacturers, processors, promoters and retailers who make such easy
pickings out of the magic powers of sugar. Then there are the liberals,
with whom I would normally side, who protest that government regulation
would be yet another instance of interference in our lives.


[E]That is true, but people should realize that you cannot have a
welfare
state
without
a
nanny
state(
保姆国家
),
to
some
degree.
If
we
are
all to be responsible for one another’s health insurance, through
socialized medicine, then we are all closely involved in one another’s
health,
including
everyone’s
eating
and
drinking.
That
has
already
been
admitted, finally, with smoking. But it has yet to be admitted with
overeating, even though one in four adults in this country is obese and
that number is predicted to double by the year apart from
anything else, obesity will cripple the NHS.


[F]Recently, though, there have been signs that the medical
establishment is trying to sound the alarm. Last month the Academy of
Medical
Royal
Colleges(AMRC)published
a
report
saying
that
obesity
is
the
greatest public health issue affecting the UK and urging government to
do something.
2014
年英语四级阅读真题及答案解析



[G]The report offers 10 recommendations, of which the first is
imposing
a
tax
of
20 percent
on
sugary
drinks
for
at
least
a
year,
on
top
of the existing 20 percent value-added tax. That at least would be an
excellent
start.
The amounts
of
sugar
in
soft
drinks
are
horrifying,
and
turn
straight
to
fat.
As
Professor
Terence
Stephenson,
head
of the
AMRC,
has said, sugary soft drinks are “the ultimate bad food. You are just
consuming neat sugar. Your body didn’t evolve to handle this kind of
thing.”



[H]Precisely.
The
risks
of
eating
too
much
fat
or
salt(which
are
very
different)pale into insignificant compared with the harm done by sugar.
And it is everywhere.


[I]It
is
difficult
to
buy
anything
in
a
supermarket,
other
than
plain,
unprepared meat, f
ish or vegetables, that doesn’t have a large amount
of
sugar
in
it.
This
has
come
about
because
the
prevailing
scientific
views
of the 1960s and
1970s ignored
the
evidence about sugar,
and instead saw
fat as the really serious risk, both to the heart and other organs, as
well as the cause of obesity.


[J]The fashion was to avoid fat. But finding that food with much of
its fat removed is not very appetizing, food producers turned to sugar
as a magic alternative flavor enhancer, often in the forms of syrups(


)that
had
recently
been
developed
from
corn,
and
put
it
generously
into
most prepared foods and soft drinks.


[K]This stuff is not just fattening. It is addictive. It interferes
with the body’s metabolism, possibly via the activity of an
appetite-
controlling hormone. There’s plenty of evidence for
this, for
those who will accept the truth.


[L]Theoretically,
people
ought
to
make
“healthy
choices”
and
avoid
overeating. But sugar
additives
are not
easy to identify and are
hard to
avoid. So the snacking, over-drinking and over eating that makes people
fat
is
not
really
their
own
fault:
obesity
is
in
large
part
something
that
is being done to them. It should be stopped, or rather the government
should stop it.


[M]Going
round
my
local
supermarket,
I
am
constantly
astonished
that
it is still legal to sell all the poisons stacked high on the shelves.
The
problem
is
that
they
are
worse
than
useless.
They
are
poisonous.
They
are
known
to
be
addictive.
They
are
known
to
make
people
obese.
And
giving
small children sweet drinks or bottles of fake juice all day long is
nothing less than child abuse.
