为了应对这一威胁，我们必须审视正在改变第三世界的巨大社会、经济和技术趋势的背后。这项调查显示，许多政府和行业向发展中国家大量供应廉价甜味剂、油和肉类，却没有采取任何措施促进水果和蔬菜的消费，从而加剧了肥胖症的增长。改革农业补贴和规范食品广告可能有助于减轻损失。但这一努力需要新的政策研究、长期资金承诺和巨大的政治意愿。
To combat this threat, we must look behind the vast social, economic and technological trends that are transforming the Third World. This examination reveals that many governments and industries are contributing to the growth in obesity by flooding developing countries with cheap sweeteners, oils and meat while doing nothing to promote the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Revamping agricultural subsidies and regulating food advertising may help alleviate the damage. But the effort will require new policy research, long-term funding commitments and a hefty amount of political will.
