According to statistics presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Finland, more than 20% of European y
6、oungsters between the ages of 5 and 17 are either overweight or obese. Asia lags behind the US and Europe in its obesity statistics, but Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and the Philippines have all reported troubling increases in recent years. Up to 10% of Chinas 290 million children are already believed
7、to be overweight or obese, and that percentage is expected to have doubled a decade from now. So across Asia too, childhood obesity is on the rise, and a less marked trend has been documented even in urbanized areas of sub-Saharan Africa.B Why do children become obese? One important factor is insuli
8、n, a hormone which enables the body to store extra calories as fat. Physical exercise helps control insulin levels, while ingesting fat combined with starches and sugar can cause surges in insulin levels.

Encouragingly, changing a familys lifestyle in healthy ways does not appear to be all that difficult: it involves regular exercise, slightly smaller portions and slightly

A major survey by research group Mintel shows that, for the first time, convenience meals account for the largest slice of all co
14、nsumer spending on food - 30.1 per cent of the market. Over the past decade, pizza sales have risen by 98 per cent. Sales of pasta products have enjoyed a similar increase.B But the trend has resulted in profound changes to eating habits. The proportion of adults who say they regularly eat a traditi
15、onal Sunday dinner, with roast meat and vegetables, has fallen by ten per cent over the same period. Now less than half say they usually have a roast each week. Meat and fish account for a fifth of the UKs total food market, but the sector has shown no growth over the past decade. Spending on fruit
16、and vegetables, meanwhile, has gone up by only six per cent - despite a huge government education campaign to get people eating more healthily.C However, the Mintel survey found that 40 per cent of the population still consider themselves as traditionalist diners. In contrast, 27 per cent are conven
17、ience seekers, who are happy heating up meals in the microwave. A growing proportion of consumers - 31 per cent - are classed as casual diners, people who skip breakfast and eat out most nights, not for pleasure but because they cant be bothered to cook.D It is predicted that more people will become
18、 casual diners as changes in society see the size of households declining. This development, added to the increasing number of childless households, means that the pressure to cook a balanced meal has declined, Mintel suggests.Questions 17-24Complete the summary of Text 2 below using words from the
