Hardly a day goes by that we do not read about the dire consequences of the increase in obesity. In March, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that obesity will overtake smoking as the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States by next year if current trends continue. “This is a tragedy,” Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers, told the Washington Post. “We’re looking at this as a wakeup call.” The obesity problem is real, Gerberding’s melodrama notwithstanding, and seems to be worsening each year. The percentage of adults who are obese has doubled since the late 1970s, and tripled among children. From increases in the size of coffins, to increases in the size of pets, to the appearance of new diets and new surgical techniques to lose weight, and to a patent for an incar system for dieters that weighs them and tells them when they have strayed, the evidence of America’s obesity problem is everywhere.
我们几乎每天都能读到肥胖增加的可怕后果。今年3月,美国疾病控制与预防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)预测,如果目前的趋势继续下去,到明年,肥胖将超过吸烟,成为美国可预防死亡的主要原因。“这是一场悲剧,”中心主任朱莉·格伯丁告诉《华盛顿邮报》。“我们认为这是一个警钟。”肥胖问题是真实存在的,尽管是格伯丁的情节剧,而且似乎每年都在恶化。自20世纪70年代末以来,成年人肥胖的比例翻了一番,儿童肥胖的比例翻了三倍。从棺材尺寸的增大,到宠物体型的增大,到减肥新饮食和新手术技术的出现,再到一种为节食者设计的汽车系统的专利,该系统可以称体重,并在他们走失时提醒他们,美国肥胖问题的证据无处不在。

Utah already has the highest birth rate in the nation, but Republican leaders here have come up with a plan that may bring even more children into the Beehive State: they want to pay unwed, pregnant women to carry their babies to term and put them up for adoption. The price for a baby in Utah will be about $3 000, paid to the mother by the state and reimbursed by the adoptive parents.
