Ms Nestle says she would have no quibbles with sweet fizzy drinks if they were sipped occasionally, as a treat. However, for millions of people in many countries, they are not. In Mexico companies sold 372 cans of fizzy drinks per person in 2012. About half of Americans do not drink them regularly, but those who do are disproportionately poor, less educated, male, Hispanic orblack. Ten per cent of Americans down more than four cans a day.
奈斯特说如果人们只是偶尔饮用甜味碳酸饮料来奖励自己,她不会提出异议。但实际上许多国家,成千上万的人们都在喝这种饮料。2012年,仅墨西哥人均消费的碳酸饮料就高达372罐。大约一半的美国人不会经常性地饮用碳酸饮料,但是那些选择碳酸饮料的人多半是些穷困潦倒,未接受良好教育的拉丁裔或者黑人男性。百分之十的美国人平均每天要喝掉至少4罐碳酸饮料。
