Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are bad on the following passage.
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 rearchers 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 choo what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information
and more access to healthier foo ds,” note the two rearchers.
“In contrast,” the rearchers 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 rious health problems.”
The rearch references studies of people’s behavior
with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions,
and then lists five regulations that the rearchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them：
Density restrictions：licens to ll alcohol aren’t handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted(分
配)bad on the number of places in an area that already ll alcohol. The make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink.
Similarly, the rearchers say, being prented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that ll 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 en. 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.
