阅读理解

An enormous (巨大的) fast-food industry gives hungry Americans the snacks they want when they want them. Ice cream, popcorn, and hot dogs are on sale everywhere. Best known, perhaps, is the McDonald's hamburger business .With an American love for numbers, McDonald's count the hamburgers they sell .Hamburger number one was sold in 1984. Hamburger number fifty billion was eaten in November 1984.

But if more and more Americans eat fast food, more and more Americans also worry about it. Fast food makes you fat, and Americans are the fattest people in the world. They are also the most interested in their health, and snack food is not healthy. The fashion (时尚的) for healthy food is growing all the time. Among middle-class people, salads, beans, and fruit have taken the place of steak and ice cream. Drinking is going down too. Only 67 percent of adults drink alcohol(酒) .

At all, and one-third of those drink less than they used to. Smart business people order mineral water, not wine, at their business lunches.

Being fat, in fact, can cause real problems for an American. He or she will find it harder to get a good job, or even to make friends. If you want to do well, you must be thin. It doesn't seem fair, does it? Advertisers and fast-food sellers scream at people to eat, eat, eat. But inside, there is another voice saying “stop, stop, stop”.
