[国际] 胖子到印度旅游要注意了!可能多花钱(双语)

　　近日，印度南部省份喀拉拉邦政府日前宣布，为阻止任何可能导致肥胖的食品消费，该邦将对在快餐厅里出售的比萨饼、汉堡包、三明治等“垃圾食品”征收14.5%的“脂肪税”。

　　Recently, one southern state of India,Kerala, proposed a so-called "fat tax"of 14.5% on those restaurants that sell fast food and junk food (such as Hamberg, Sandwich, or pizza) that may ultimately cause people overweight, in order to prevent people become fatter and fatter in India.

　　肥胖人口在全球范围内的比重持续增加，已经成为各国都需要注意的重要问题之一，近年来多国都通过增收税款来抑制导致肥胖的因素，而印度出台的高比例脂肪税让人瞠目结舌。

　　In recent years, the proportion of overweight people is continuously increasing, and obesity has become a major concern of many countries around the world. In order to control this situation, many countries began to tax on food that may lead to overweight problem.

　　据当地媒体报道，印度的肥胖人口近年来不断增长，已经跻身肥胖人口世界前三位。喀拉拉邦政府为减少肥胖症人口而推出的“脂肪税”明确规定，在麦当劳、肯德基、赛百味等餐厅出售的比萨饼、汉堡包、三明治、炸玉米饼、甜甜圈、意大利面都属于征收“脂肪税”范畴。

　　According to the report from local media, malnutrition is still, of course, a major problem in India, nevertheless, many Indians are seriously overweight these years, and India has already become one of the top 3 countries in the world that suffers obesity.

　　Fat tax clearly stipulates those pizza, hamberg, sandwich, pasta that sold by McDonald's , KFC, Subway are all including in the incidence of taxation.

　　一名当地儿科医生表示，“脂肪税”并不一定能阻止孩子们食用含有高脂肪的“垃圾食品”，不过由于家长在购买这些食品时将会因为价格问题而三思，这肯定有助于减低“垃圾食品”销量。

　　A local pediatrician said that fat tax may not be so efficient on stop children eating unhealthy food that contains high fat, but this can make parents to think twice before buying this food for children in consideration of the price, thus may reduce the sales volume of junk food.
