(READING 1) The Hows and Whys of Gluttony

The dictionary says that a glutt on is a person who eats too much. If so,

the United States is a nation of gluttons. Almost 65 percent of the

population is now overweight. About 31 perc ent, or 59 million people, are

obese- that is, they weigh more than 20 percent than they should. Experts

say th at within five years, four out of ten Americans will be in this group. In

1989,47 percent of Americans were overweight and 15 percent were obese.

We now know that gluttony is not

just self-indulgent. Being overweight can

cause serious health problems such as

heart disease , high blood pressure, and

diabetes. So, why are so many of us

eating ourselves to death?

Experts in obesity research say th ere

are a number of reasons. First, food is

cheaper than it was in the past. They say

that it is natural to eat when we can.

Second, we lead very sedentary lives-we

rarely move. Most of us have desk jobs.

We don't walk to shops, schools, or

banks-we drive cars. Furthermore, at home we have a lot of machines to

he~ us. We don't push lawn mowers-we ride on them. We don't rake

leaves-we blow them away with leaf blowers. We don't wash dishes

anymore-the dishwasher does. In addition, robot vacuum cleaners clean our

floors. And, of course, the television remote control means that we can sit in
a chair for hours. We usually call these machines labor-saving devices. Maybe if

we called them fat-development devices, people would stop using them.

1. What can each of the groups in the chart do to help people eat

healthier food?

2. Not everyone agrees that obesity is a social problem. Do you agree

or disagree with the opinion below?

Look out for the food police. They are attacking a traditional

American meal-a cheeseburger, an order of french fries, and a large

soda. A Yale University professor wants to have a special tax on

high-calor ie foods such as french fries. T he Center for Science in

the Public Interest wants to put warni ng labels on soft dri nks. Such

acts are taking away our freedom of choice.
