Junk food is everywhere. We’re eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we’re doing and yet we do it anyway.
So here’s a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it’s displayed?
"Many policy measures to control obesity(肥胖症)assume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods," note the two researchers.
" In contrast," the researchers continue, " many regulations that don’t assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance—like food—of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems. "
The research references studies of people’s behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them:
Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren’t handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted(分配)based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.
Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren’t primarily food stores?
Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can’t buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they’re easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products. [br] What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control?
选项
A、Guiding people to make rational choices about food.
B、Enhancing people’s awareness of their own health.
C、Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures.
D、Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。题干问的是兰德公司研究人员对于控制垃圾食品的建议的总体方针(generalguideline)是什么。文章第一段指出垃圾食品无处不在这一现象,第二段指出兰德公司两名研究人员针对此现象给出的建议:为什么不借鉴控酒政策?后面几段具体论述减少垃圾食品消费的两项措施。由此得知,文章结构为由整体到部分,控制垃圾食品的总体方针出现在文章第二段。C)中的borrowingideas from为原文中take a lesson from的同义转述,故答案为C)。
