The Walt Disney Company last week announced plans to restrict junk food commercials on its television programs aimed at children. A few days before, Mayor Michael Bloomberg took steps to restrict the sale of supersized sugary drinks in New York. But isolated changes may not make a substantial difference at a time when Americans are gaining weight as a nation. Reducing obesity will require a broader shift in the culture.
For decades, people have treated obesity as a personal failure. They blame individuals and families for eating junk food and choosing television over exercise. But experts in this country and other industrialized nations have increasingly recognized that obesity is caused mostly by social and environmental factors that limit people’s ability to eat healthy foods and get enough exercise. Our modern society, with its enormous and diverse food supply and its host of labor-saving technologies, stacks the deck against them.
The consensus of experts, in a report issued in May by the Institute of Medicine, is that only a nationwide, prevention-oriented approach will work. The causes of obesity are everywhere. Societal factors play a big role: the lack of safe places to play, walk or bike; less time devoted to cooking and more eating out; bigger portion sizes in packaged and prepared food; and endless marketing of junk foods that are high in calories. Sugar-sweetened drinks accounted for at least 20 percent of the increases in weight in the United States between 1977 and 2007, according to one study cited by the institute.
The institute’s report suggests a number of remedies that it believes have been proved to work. In Somerville, Mass. , where some 40 percent of the younger elementary school children were overweight, there was a communitywide effort to offer healthier lunches in schools and restaurants, encourage walking and other physical activities, and change the small city’s culture. Children there gained less weight than their peers in other communities.
In suggesting reductions in children’s exposure to junk-food marketing, the institute cites research showing a causal relationship between TV commercials and the food preferences of the very young. Other ideas are to increase physical activities in the schools to an hour a day and strengthen obesity prevention programs in the workplace.
The institute says that a major cut in obesity rates will require multiple strategies on a population-wide scale. This will be even more challenging than the fight against smoking. But there isn’t any choice if we want to protect the public’s health, the strength of the economy and the government budget.
In experts’ opinion, ______will help to deal with obesity.
选项
A、more government guidance and intervention
B、a nationwide, prevention-oriented approach
C、wider spread of knowledge about health care
D、more individual prevention and effort
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。本题考查能够对全民减肥有帮助的方法。定位句中的work一词意为“起作用,有效果”,由此可知,该方法为全国性的、以预防为导向的方法,故B)为本题答案。A)“更多的政府指导和干预”、C)“更广泛的健康知识普及”和D)“更多的个人预防和努力”均与原文不符,故排除。
