WORKSHEET Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:-
Walt Disney Co. became the first major media company to ban ads for candy bars and junk food
on its television channels, radio stations and websites, to stop manufacturers from prodding
nutritionally challenged fattening junk food for kids. The ban covers foods with too much sugar
and salt or a full meal more than 600 calories. Disney's rules, which take effect from 2015,
closely follow a proposal by New York Mayor to take supersized drinks over 16 ounces or 500
mills out of convenience stores, movie theatres and restaurants, to stop people from having too
much of a bad thing. Predictably, the outraged public said that banning smoking in public places
and artery-blocking trans fats in food were bad enough, but stopping them from guzzling comfort
drinks by the litres was almost a human rights violation.
It seems most people are not just happy choosing their own poison; they also want it in super-
sized doses guaranteed to kill sooner than later, for, after tobacco use, obesity is the biggest
public health bugbear that triggers more avoidable diseases and death than malnutrition.
Overweight and obese are the leading risk for global deaths killing 2.8 million adults every year.
Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. It is obvious that left to themselves people
are choosing wrong and something needs to be done to make them stop and think. The reasons
for poor lifestyle choices are money; with almost all driven by socio-economic causes such as low
education and limited income. Like killer infections, obesity and the resultant type 2 diabetes,
affect the poor more than the affluent, because processed and fast food is cheaper and takes less
or no time to prepare than healthy home-cooked meals. Limiting food choices, however, is not
enough, the need to get children off their chairs and into playgrounds is also important. Too
much screen time, largely social-networking, followed by online video gaming and television, are
making healthy children fat and putting them at risk of type 2 diabetes.
