Not content with its doubtful claim to produce cheap food for our own population, the factor, farming industry also argues that" hungry nations are benefiting from advances made by the poultry(家禽) industry". In fact, rather than helping the fight against malnutrition(营养不良) in" hungry nations", the spread of factory farming has, inevitably aggravated the problem.
Large-scale intensive meat and poultry production is a waste of food resources. This is because more protein has to be fed to animals in the form of vegetable matter than can ever be recovered in the form of meat. Much of the food value is lost in the animal’s process of digestion and cell replacement. Neither, in the case of chicken, can one eat feathers, blood, feet or head. In all, only about 44% of the live animal fits to be eaten as meat.
This means one has to feed approximately 9-l0 times as much food value to the animal than one can consume from the carcass. As a system for feeding the hungry, the effects can prove disastrous. At times of crisis, grain is the food of life.
Nevertheless, the huge increase in poultry production throughout Asia and Africa continues.
Normally British or US firms are involved. For instance, an American based multinational company has this year announced its involvement in projects in several African countries. Britain’s largest suppliers chickens, Ross Breeders, are also involved in projects all over the world.
Because such trade is good for exports, Western governments encourage it. In 1979, a firm in Bangladesh called Phoenix Poultry received a grant to set up a unit of 6,000 chickens and 18,000 laying hens. This almost doubled the number of poultry kept in the country all at once.
But Bangladesh lacks capital, energy and food and has large numbers of unemployed. Such chicken-raising demands capital for building and machinery, extensive use of energy resources for automation, and involves feeding chickens with potential famine-relief protein food. At present, one of Bangladesh’s main imports is food grains, because the country is unable to grow enough food to feed its population. On what then can they possibly feed the chicken? [br] What the last paragraph tells us is the author’s ______.
选项
A、detailed analysis of the ways of raising poultry in Bangladesh
B、great appreciation of the development of poultry industry in Bangladesh
C、critical view on the development of the poultry industry in Bangladesh
D、practical suggestion for the improvement of the poultry industry in Bangladesh
答案
C
解析
大意判断题。在最后一段,作者指出,孟加拉国缺乏资金、能源和食物,而且失业人口众多,而养鸡业需要大量的资金、能源和作为饲料的食物,而这些饲料是本可以用作缓解人类饥荒之用的,所以孟加拉国繁盛的养鸡业非但没有解决当地的吃饭问题,反而因养鸡业而消耗了有限的食物资源而加重了孟加拉国的粮食问题,使孟加拉国变成了一个粮食进口国。显而易见,作者对孟加拉国的养鸡业是持批评态度的。
