Almost half of British respondents(参与调查者)said they enjoyed fast food too much to give it up. About 44 percent in the US claimed they would be unable to stop eating burgers，pizzas and chicken wings，making the country second in the world's junk food league. The third place went to the United Arab Emirates，where 35 percent are junk­food lovers.

　　The research also found that attitudes to food and weight vary wildly around the world. Those in the UK and US believed lack of self­discipline was the main factor behind growing waistlines(腰围). They can't deny themselves that hamburger or extra piece of pizza，but “make themselves feel better by washing it down with a diet coke”，the study suggested.

　　The French，on the other hand，seem to keep a watchful eye on their weight. They get on the scales every day. Only 19 percent of the French surveyed admitted a fondness for fast food.

　　Thierry Pailleux，of France，from the market research firm that conducted the poll，said the French valued the combination of good food and company. Sharing classic food and time with loved ones is key to the French sensibility. “French people take care of their image as a matter of course. Being thin is part of our culture and a point of pride. We are known for it，” said Pailleux.“On top of this，there is increasing awareness of the devastation(伤害)that obesity can cause to one's health.”
