TASTES  DIFFER

How much food do you think you will eat by the time you are seventy-nine?
The average Frenchwoman, for example, will eat:

25 cows, 40 sheep, 35 pigs, 1,200 chickens, 2.07 tonnes of fish, 5.05 tonnes of potatoes, 30,000 litres of milk, 13,000 eggs, 50,000 loaves of bread, 12,000 bottles of wine,  9,000 litres of orange juice, 6,000 litres of mineral water, 1.37 tonnes of apples, 768 kg of oranges, 2.07 tonnes of fish, 430 bags of carrots, 5.05 tonnes of potatoes, 720 kg of tomatoes, 30,000 litres of milk, 1,300 lettuces, 13,000 eggs.

Hundreds of packets of coffee, sugar, spaghetti, etc 8 kg of dirt

Delicious, isn’t it? How many cows and pigs have you swallowed already?
Scientists say that we eat about half-a-ton of food a year – not counting drink!
Some people eat even more.

According to WHO (World Health Organization), Americans are the fattest people in the world. 55% of women and 63% of men over 25 are overweight or obese. (Doctors say that you are obese if you weight at least 30% above ideal body weight.)
“Compared to Europeans, Americans eat all the time,” writes Joanna Coles, a British correspondent for The Guardian. “At the hairdressers, in their cars, during college lectures, while waiting in hospital and at the cinema, where they arrive clutching monster buckets of pop-corn, Doberman sized hot-dogs and containers (!) of diet Pepsi”.
 

Though America is the world leader in obesity, Europe is quickly catching up. According to WHO, almost one-third of people living in the European Union are now overweight and one in 10 is obese.
Britain has replaced Germany as Europe’s most overweight nation! 20% of women and 17% of men are obese. And the English are fatter than the Scots or Welsh.
Russia, the Czech Republic and Finland also have some of the heaviest people in Europe.
Even in such countries as French, Italy and Sweden, Europe’s slimmest nations, people (especially women) are becoming fatter.
Among the French, Italians and Swedish, who are considered to be Europe’s slimmest nations, the number of overweight people is dramatically rising.

We live in the era of fast food culture. We are always in a hurry. We have no time to relax and enjoy a meal. We want to eat fast.
Every day a new McDonald’s restaurant opens somewhere on our planet. Soon American food will take over the whole world.
Another reason is lack of exercise. We spend too much time in front of our computers and TV-sets. We walk less, because we prefer to use cars or public transport. Yes, many people nowadays are exercise crazy, they spend hours in gyms – and then they rush to have a good snack!
