問題詳情

   As any dieter knows, willpower is weak in the face of food that’s convenient and delicious. A crisis of willpower on a national scale now threatens American health, says Kelly Brownell, Ph.D., and he’s proposed a radical measure in response.              Brownell, an expert on eating disorders at Yale University, notes that nutritionists have been offering the same dietary advice for decades: eat a variety of fruitsandvegetables, lots of grains and starches, and keep fat and sugar to a minimum.They’vedriven their point home with educational campaigns and improved food labeling. And yet Americans keep getting fatter: obesity has increased 25 percent in the past 10 years alone.    Brownell thinks that a “toxic food environment” is to blame: high-fat, high-calorie, high-sugar foods that are easy to get, cheap to buy, and taste delicious. “When you putthese things together, you get a recipe for disaster，” says Brownell, pointing to the rise not only in obesity, but in diet-related illnesses such as cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.    It’s time to acknowledge that the efforts of individuals are not enough, says Brownell, and that the government needs to regulate food as it would be a potentially dangerous drug. He suggests a tax on unhealthy foods and a subsidy for healthy ones, like whole grains and fresh produce. “If people reconceptualize food as a potentially healthy or unhealthy substance，” he says, “then that opens the door to dealing with food just like we do cigarettes or alcohol ”
