A: why are there still so many people overweight despite the current 1 fitness 2 craze?

C: well, there are certain factors 3 that effect people's size and weight.

A: what are they?

C: one study said that low-income groups have a higher percentage of over-weight people than higher income families.

A: why?

C: the survey said that the low, income groups eat more junk 4 food on a daily basis.

A: that makes sense. Probably less time to make dinner and the junk food is cheaper.

C: and junk food contains lots of fat and oil. There is one final reason why so many people are fat.

A: what's that?

C: nobody exercises anymore-not even kids! The average american home has the TV on for 6 hours a day!

A: wow! No wonder people are so fat. Say, Carl, looks like you could be doing a bit more exercising.

C: yeah, I guess so.

A: you should consider eating healthier food and getting some more exercise.

C: hey, I started a diet and lost 10 pounds.

A: so what happened?

C: well, I quit and gained it back plus 5 pounds.

A: you should have kept trying.

现在健身这么火,为什么还是有那么多人超重呢?

嗯,还是有一些因素会影响人们的体型和体重的.

都有哪些因素呢?

有研究表明低收入人群超重的比例比高收入人群高.

为什么呢?

说低收入人群每天吃太多的垃圾食品.

可以理解,他们每天工作忙,没时间做饭,垃圾食品又比较便宜.

垃圾食品油脂含量又高.不过还有另外一个原因.

什么?

现在很少有人锻炼身体,甚至小孩都不锻炼.家里电视一天至少开6个小时.

天啊.怪不得人们变得这么胖.卡尔,你是不是也该锻炼锻炼身体了?

可能吧.

你可要注意饮食了,多做锻炼啊.

我节食一段时间,瘦了10磅呢.

后来呢?

我放弃了,结果体重反弹,又胖了5磅.

贵在坚持啊.
