    " Clean your plate!" and " Be a member of the clean-plate club!" Just about every kid in the UK has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it’ s【C1】______by an appeal: "Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!" Sure,we should be【C2】______for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the UK take too many bites. Instead of staying "clean the plate" ,perhaps we should【C3】______some food for tomorrow.

But a closer 【C12】______at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of【C13】______earning at least $ 150,000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than $ 25 ,000 want smaller.
    It’ s not【C14】______working class Americans don’t want to eat healthy. It’ s just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good 【C15】______. They live from paycheck to paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year’s Christmas presents.
