low-cost food that underlies the nations obesity crisis.america is overlooking the real cause of its ever-expanding waistline. the problem isnt so much peoples lack of self-control. its a toxic food environment - the strips of fast-food restaurants along americas roadways, the barrage of hamburger advertising on television and the rows of candies at the checkout counter of any given convenience store.to be sure, genes and self-control play a role in obesity and the diabetes and other health problems that result. but, both face a losing battle against the ubiquity of bad food. genetics is what permits the problem to occur, but environment is what drives it. the problem with medical and psychological interventions for individuals is that the costs of treatment outweigh the benefits, and weight-gain relapse rates remain high. of particular concern is americas passive acceptance of unhealthy food. americans fail to recognize, for example, the possible damage done by such fast-food icons as ronald mcdonald.certain toxic signs are alarming:innutritious foods reign. high-fat, high-sugar foods are widely available, taste good and cost less than healthier foods. vending machines are ubiquitous, kentucky fried chicken delivers and most fast-food outlets now serve breakfast.the food industry has run amok. advertisements for prepackaged and fast foods saturate the airwaves, newspapers and magazines.physical activity has declined. most americans get less exercise than ever - walking less and driving more.as further evidence that environment is to blame, obesity has risen notably in other countries, including china, and that migrants to western countries have much higher obesity rates than their relatives back home. particularly vulnerable to the problem are american children. parents cant win this battle alone. but they might stand a chance through the following proposed policy changes:make activity more accessible, by, for example, building communities to allow more walking or biking. regulate tv food ads aimed at children and mandate equal time for pro-nutrition messages. ban fast foods and soft drinks from schools, instead forging school contracts with sports-related companies. subsidize healthy foods and drive down process of fruits and vegetables by 70 percent.such measures would take the blame off people with obesity and are the only real path to doing something constructive about this problem. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。superbabies arent happy babiesthey are drilling their infants in math and reading skills, using flashcards, books and videotapes. they are enrolling their 3-year-old in tennis lessons and entering their 4-yrar-olds in beauty contest and athletic competitions. now they are trying to educate their kids in the womb with phone-like learning devices.they are parents who want their children to be superbabies. as a distinct parental species, they have gained increasing attention in recent years, even as their overzealousness has been condemned by many child-development experts. but no one has presented evidence against the superbaby ethic in a comprehensive, authoritative way - until now, in a new book by dr. elkind, a child psychologist.these pushy parents are engaging in a form or miseducation, said dr. elkind, im alarmed by what i see. though superbaby phenomenon was first noted in upper-middle-class families several years ago, now less advantaged families seem to be adopting the attitudes of wealthy parents. increasing numbers of american youngsters are pressed to think, feel, and behave like older children and adults.the long-term consequences of parental efforts are signs of stress - stomachaches and headaches, eating and sleeping problems and changes in childrens ordinary patterns of behavior. preschoolers self-esteem can also b diminished since te tendency of children is to blame themselves when they cant do an impossible task set by an adult. there can be
