Many of the snacks are high in sugar, fat and salt. Vending machines(自動(dòng)售貨機(jī)) filled with unhealthy snacks in leisure centres run the risk of fuelling childhood obesity.

The British Heart Foundation found that despite being banned from schools and children’s TV, crisps and chocolate are on sale where children exercise. And children’s meals on offer at the 35 venues spot-checked were mostly chips, chicken nuggets(雞肉塊), sausages and burgers.

The charity (慈善機(jī)構(gòu)) wants stricter regulation over the food choices available.

The report was prepared by the Food Commission, which looked at leisure centres, bowling clubs, ice skating centres and park cafes.

The average calorie content of vending machine snacks was 203 calories, which would take a seven-year-old 88 minutes of swimming to use up.

Fresh fruit was displayed at less than half of the places visited, and nutritional information was displayed at just two of the places visited. The BHF said this severely limits children’s and parents’ ability to assess the nutritional values of the products they are buying.

BHF’s chief executive Peter Hollins said: “It’s fantastic that these kids are getting fit and having fun at the same time but this is being undermined by junk food sold to them.

“Councils and leisure providers need to reconsider the food choices they are providing and make it easier for parents and children to make healthier choices.”

The charity is now calling for public and private sector providers to lead the way in ensuring healthy food choices available and easily identifiable(可辯認(rèn)的). It says it should be made a requirement that vending machines in publicly owned facilities be stocked with healthier products.

A spokeswoman of the Department of Health said: “We fully encourage the adoption of healthy vending machines across the country and expect local authorities to make sure there are healthy food options available in their leisure centres.”

53. Children’s meals offered at leisure centres mostly consist of ____.

    A. snacks, vegetables, chips and burgers

Can you imagine traveling to work in a one-man submarine? Some scientists believe that some day one-man submarines will be as numerous (許多) as automobiles are today. A famous French driver says, “One day soon, men will walk on the ocean floor as they do on the street!” Perhaps during your lifetime people will travel, work, and live in the sea.

If human beings want to live in the ocean, many human problems will need to be studied first. Some of these problems, similar to those of living in outer space, are pressure, lack of oxygen and weightlessness.
