The Pressure of Obesity
The pressure on the industry is most acute in America, which leads the world in obesity. The proportion of Americans characterized as overweight has risen steadily from 47% (bad enough in itself) in the late 1970s to around two-thirds, including over 30% who are clinically obese. Fast-food chains’ American sales grew from about $6 billion in 1970 to an estimated $134 billion in 2005. Eric Schlosser, author of “Fast Food Nation”, an influential book attacking the industry, has pointed out that Americans spend more on fast food than they do on higher education, PCs or new cars—worrying, when a single meal at a KFC of less than a pound-weight of food plus a large Pepsi can top 1,600 calories, not far short of the daily intake recommended by the government for adults doing only “light physical activity”.
Where the United States leads, others are following. In the European Union, up to 27% of men are considered to be obese, and almost a quarter of all children are deemed overweight. Britain, with its love of burgers and packaged meals, is seen as following closest on America’s heels, but the rate of obesity has started to swell on the continent too. Some 11% of the adult population of France were obese in 2003, up from 8% in 1997 (the actual level may be higher still since the figures are based on polls asking people if they are fat, and self-reporting produces underestimates). France has latched on to the fast-food culture: it is one of the biggest and most profitable European markets for McDonald’s.

肥胖的压力
在美国现在最急切的是来自餐饮产业的压力，因为它使得世界处于肥胖。美国那些超重人群所占的比例从二十世纪七十年代后期的47%（这本身已经足够糟了）稳步上升到接近三分之二，其中有超过30%达到临床意义上的肥胖人群，快餐连锁在美国的销售额从1970年的60亿美元涨到2005年的评估的1340亿美元。《快餐国家》这本对抨击饮食产业的畅销书的作者伊瑞克。斯库拉森指出美国人花在快餐上的钱比花在接受高等教育，数码电器或维护新车上的要多，当在肯德基吃少于一磅食物的一顿可增加高达1600的卡路里，远多于政府建议的那些仅从事“轻体力劳动”的成人每天的摄入量。
美国人往哪走，其他国家就会跟着走。在欧盟高达27%的人被认为肥胖，并且认为超重的儿童占所有儿童的四分之一。喜好汉堡和外卖的英国被认为是最紧跟美国脚后跟的国家，但是在欧洲肥胖的比例也已经开始膨胀起来。2003年在法国有11%的成人是肥胖的,而在1997年为8%（实际的比例可能还要更高，因为这些数据是基于普查通过询问民众他们自己是否肥胖，这种根据自我感觉的调查通常会导致低估）。法国也拥有快餐文化：它是麦当劳最大和利润最高的市场之一。 作者: 轻浮的粢奁贶 时间: 14-5-25 15:48
