I feelthere are a number of reasons for this.Somepeople blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fattyfoods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. Thishas turned outa whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If therewere fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy lesstake-away food.There isanother argument that blames parents for allowing their children to becomeoverweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life,long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are givenfried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed tochoose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, andthis will carry on throughout their lives.There is athird reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of thetelevision or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthypastime （消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthyfood. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The aboveare the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage youngpeople to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast foodshops and bad eating habits.（1）According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A . Those who often do sports.B . Those who often walk to school.C . Those who often watch television.D .
