三、阅读理解
Barbara Gallani,director of food safety and science at the UK Food and Drink Federation,said they recognized the worldwide health burden of noninfectious(非传染性的)diseases and agreed action was needed.“However,the causes of these diseases are various and blaming an individual food does not help consumers to build a realistic approach to their diet,”she explained.“The key to good health is a balanced and varied diet,in the context of a healthy lifestyle that includes plenty of physical activity.”
Dr Peter Scarborough of the University of Oxford said taxing certain food products was something policymakers should consider.But he said taxing only one type of food could have unintended consequences,such as people cutting back on fruit and vegetables to save money for sugar purchases.
