“Clean your plate! ” and “Be a member of the clean-plate club!” Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent.Often,it抯 accompanied by an appeal: 揓ust think about those starving orphans in Africa!擲ure,we should be grateful fAthor every bite of food.Unfortunately,many people in the US take a few too many bites.Instead of saying 揷lean the plate?perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.?n
According to news reports,US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing stomachs.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer,with two to four times the amount recommended by the government,according to a USA Today story.
Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that.They serve large portions to stand apart from competitors and to give the customers value.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.
Barbara Rolls,a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University,told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the American waistline began to expand.
It抯 not that working-class Americans don抰 want to eat healthily.It抯 just that after long hours at low-paying jobs,getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paycheck to paycheck,happy to save a little money for next year抯
thaChristmas presents.
5.What does the underlined sentence really mean?
A.Wash dishes after meals. B.Don抰 save food for the future.h
C.Don抰 eat too much food. D.Eat all the food on the plate..
6.Why do American restaurants serve large portions?
A.Because Americans have big stomachs. B.Because Americans associate quantity with value.
C.Because Americans are greedy. D.Because Americans are good eaters.
