题文

Eight in 10 Americans eat fast food at least once a month and half eat it every week according, to a Gallup Poll. Yet most people who eat fast food know it’s bad for them. So why do they keep eating it?The answer is simple: the benefits of eating fast food outweigh the long-term implications for most people. However, once you read the reasons why all tho trips to the drive through may be slowly killing you, you may just want to stop eating fast food after all.1. Fast food makes you fat.A 15-year study of over 3,000 people found that eating fast food is linked to weight gain and insulin resistance. In others words, fast food makes you fat and increas your risk of type 2 diabetes. You probably know this already. But here’s something you may not know.2. Fast food is addictive.The more you eat fast food, the more you crave it. One study found that fast food is “a potentially addictive substance that is most likely to create dependence in vulnerable populations.” If you eat fast food once a week or more, you may be addicted to it.3. Fast food is affecting your kids.According to the CDC, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years. Kids have an amazing ability to recall ads they’ve en. Fast food marketers know this, and design ads accordingly. Rearch shows strong associations between increas in advertising for non-nutritious foods and rates of childhood obesity.4. Fast food “burgers” don’t have much burger in them.One study found that most fast food burgers are compod of about 50 percent water and the actual meat content is only 2.1 to 14.8 percent. So what makes up the rest of it, you ask? Chemical fillers and prervatives, mostly. That’s why we e read horror stories about burgers that don’t go bad.5. Even “healthy” fast food isn’t that healthy.Fast food restaurants are catering to consumer demands to produce healthier options. The problem is, their definition of “healthy” is quite lax. One of the healthiest dishes at Burger King, the Garden Fresh Salad Chicken Caesar with TENDERGRILL Chicken and dressing, still has almost 500 calories and 28 grams of fat, and nearly a day’s worth of sodium.6. Fast food is inhumane to animals.Okay, this one may not be a reason why fast is killing you, but it’s still a compelling reason to stop eating fast food. 9 billion animals were slaughtered in the US alone in 2012 and much of that meat is for your fast food burgers and chicken sandwiches. Large factory farms remble more of a “business” than a “farm.” Animals suffer in crowded spaces where they rarely have access to the outdoors or sunlight. They are pumped full of antibiotics to combat dia, which runs rampant in the conditions. Livestock is one of the biggest sources of pollution and environmental negligence, according to the UN.7. Fast food sodas are loaded with sugar.High fructo corn syrup (HFCS) is the cheap sweetener most fast food restaurants u in their sodas, desrts, and many other products. Princeton University rearchers linked HFCS consumption to obesity in an animal study. Rats given HFCS gained more weight and body fat than tho given table sugar.小题1:How many factors are mentioned which can account for the reason why fast food is slowly killing you?A.Seven.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.小题2:According to the text, we know that_____.A.many people keep eating fast food becau they know nothing about the harm which fast food will bring themB.fast food plays a key role in children’s growthC.eating fast food is connected to weight gain and insulin resistance.D.many fast food restaurants are can offer a good and healthy meal to consumer小题3:What is the purpo of the passage?A.To help us make right decisionsB.To advi us to stop eating fast foodC.To tell us how to keep fitD.To encourage us to be humane to animals 题型:未知难度:其他题型
