美国成人的超重率或肥胖率高达70%,直到最近,美国在这个不讨喜的世界排名中一直位居第一。近来,墨西哥(比率为71.3%)夺取了冠军。(在中国,综合肥胖超重率徘徊在30%左右,也很可怕。)虽然很多美国人和欧洲人傲慢地认为墨西哥是个落后国家,但它却是全球第一个对汽水和垃圾食品课以重税的大国。该法规于今年年初生效,现在已经显示了积极成果:汽水销量正在下滑。
In the 21st century, it is inevitable that nearly every citizen of the world has been and will continue to be affected by the scourge of junk food and liquid candy. Even though intelligent proposals abound, few countries have attempted to curb their marketing or sales. Without limits, the consumption of unhealthy foods will result in higher rates of obesity, and therefore an increase in associated diseases and premature deaths.
在21世纪,全球几乎每一个公民都已经并将继续受到垃圾食物和含糖饮料的影响,这是不可避免的。尽管明智的提议比比皆是,试图遏制市场营销或销售活动的国家却寥寥无几。如果没有限制,那么消耗不健康食品就会导致肥胖率升高,从而导致与之相关的患病率和早逝率升高。
If we know how to diminish needless human suffering and mortality, why would we not? As Mexico has shown, it’s the responsibility of government to protect its population from hyper-processed food.
