关于我的饮食习惯60字英语作文

Answer 1

Fast food has become a major health threat for urban students. The latest research by the Institute for Nutrition and Food Safety under the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that the number of primary and secondary school students who ate fast food at least once a week in urban areas increased from 1.9 per cent in 1998 to 16.3 per cent in 2008.
According to a report by the Ministry of Education and the General Administration of Sport in 2010, the health of young people aged 7 to 19 deteriorated from 2000 to 2010. The obesity rate increased by 50 per cent and the rate of nearsightedness rose from 20 per cent to 31 per cent.
"Growing junk food consumption is the reason for the increase in obesity among students," said Hu Xiaoqi, a researcher at the food safety institute.
Hu said some urban schools give box lunches to children that are less tasty than hot meals served at school canteens, so the students just throw the box meal away and fill their empty stomachs with junk food.
"Urban schools should operate their canteens well and provide better food for children," Hu said.
Although education authorities are striving to provide better nutrition for rural children, implementation of such programs is not satisfactory.
