A man from New York is suing four big fast-food companies. Caesar Barber is going to court because he says that high-fat foods at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and KFC Corporation destroyed his health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants four or five times a week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight. According to Mr. Barber, obesity (肥胖症) gave him diabetes(糖尿病) ,high blood pressure,and two heart attacks. When a reporter asked him why he ate there so often,he said,"I was single,it was quick,and I’m not a very good cook. "
Barber’s lawyer,Samuel Hirsch,says that the suit has two different purposes. The first is to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods have warning labels similar to labels on cigarettes. Mr. Hirsch says that these labels are necessary because the effects of fast foods are similar to the effects of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin.
Two others may soon join Barber’s suit. One is Frances Winn, a 57-year-old retired nurse. Ms. Winn says that she has eaten at fast-food restaurants at least twice a week since 1975. She says that this habit has caused several health problems,including high blood pressure. Isreal Bradley,59,said eating a pound of French fries every week gave him high blood pressure and diabetes.
Officials of the fast-food industry attacked the legal action. National Restaurant Association representative Katharine Kim called it ridiculous. KFC spokeswoman Amy Sherwood claimed KFC offers several kinds of foods for people who want to eat healthier. Legal expert Walter Olson agreed that the suit had litde chance of success. He said that people were free to make different choices.
Whether or not the suit is successful, there is no doubt that Americans have a weight problem. Medical experts say that obesity will soon be America’s number one killer. They have encouraged fast-food companies to offer healthier foods. [br] By suing the four big fast-food companies,Caesar Barber wants to______.
选项
A、get them punished
B、eat there at a lower price
C、warn the public of the harm of eating fast foods
D、replace them with better restaurants
答案
C
解析
根据文章的第二段第二、三句“The first is to make…The suit…on cigarettes.”提到的两个目的:一是让快餐店提供更为健康的食物,二是在快餐上贴上类似烟盒上的警告语。由此可知只有C项(让公众了解吃快餐的危害)符合文意,故选C。
