英国政府正在考虑在公共交通上禁止一切食物和饮料。英国禁止人们在火车和公共汽车上吃喝的计划不受人们欢迎。他们说政府不应该控制人们是否可以在公共交通上吃喝。许多人表示,该计划是英国成为“保姆国家”的又一个例子。这个国家想要控制人们能做和不能做的一切。英国首席医疗官莎莉·戴维斯教授表示,该计划对于减少肥胖是必要的。她说,这是一项计划的一部分,目的是到2030年将儿童肥胖人数减半,并帮助人们选择更健康的生活方式。
Professor Davies reported that there are twice as many overweight schoolchildren today as there were 30 years ago. She said: "Today's children are drowning in a flood of unhealthy food and drink options." She said this is made worse because of "insufficient opportunities for being active". She said children do not get enough exercise. She added: "We must go further and faster." Ms Davies also wants to stop fast food being sold at soccer games. Many travelers are angry about the plans. A nurse, Nicky Paxton, said the transport ban would make her life worse. She said: "I often work 12 hours without a break and I need a sandwich on the train on my way home from work."
戴维斯教授报告说,现在超重的小学生是30年前的两倍。她说:“如今的孩子们正淹没在不健康食品和饮料的洪流中。”她说,由于“活动机会不足”,情况变得更糟。她说,孩子们没有得到足够的锻炼。她补充道:“我们必须走得更远、更快。”戴维斯女士还希望停止在足球比赛中出售快餐。许多旅客对这些计划感到愤怒。护士尼基帕克斯顿(Nicky Paxton)说,交通禁令会让她的生活变得更糟。她说:“我经常连续工作12个小时,在下班回家的火车上我需要一个三明治。”
