In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a

“

weight problem

”

. To many people, the

cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does

little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than

today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder

physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn

’

t watch television.

Several

modern

studies,

moreover,

have

shown

that

fatter

people

do

not

eat

more

on

the

average

than

thinner

people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study

of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people. Studies

show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a

research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more

the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the

greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount

of body fat.

1. The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that ________.

A) they are too slim

B) they work too hard

C) they are too fat

D) they lose too much body fat

2. According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, _______ people will have a

“

weight problem.
