  People are living in a world that acquires almost everyone to chase efficiency and speed.The real inner quality of daily life is not approximately taken into people’s consideration.Fast food is one of the common model reactions of this rapid developing society.Recently,it’s getting popular that people would rather have fast food to save time for other extra work.Problems and public concern are following that kind of life condition and someone or something should be put blame on for this.
  Obesity holds a unique place in the public health and medical fields as it is both a risk factor for other health outcomes and a health outcome all its own.Obesity is a terrible killer to people’s health all around the world.Large amounts of money and time have been spent to deal with overweight and related disease.It affects not just individuals but society as whole.“It’s easier,now more than ever,to become fat.” said by Daniel E.Harmon (2007).
  From my point of view,it’s no doubt that fast food restaurants are targets to blame by public opinion for current obesity problem and they are expected to answer for it.
  There is rapidly accumulating evidence that individuals who frequently eat at fast food restaurants are more likely to be overweight and obese (Kathleen Y.Wolin and Jennifer M.Petrelli,2009).What the food they order and the atmosphere that customers share are the main consequences.This sort of fast food is mostly cooked by frying or baking with hot oil and unhealthy flavoring agent that people aren’t acquainted with,which would probably damage the nutrition inside the original materials and lead to high calories that makes people put on weight.What the faithful fast food consumers are fond of is that they would get what they want on the menu and quickly finish their meal.That can do harm to our eating habit and turn out to be a common selling method by constantly exchanging customers.
  Worse though,fast food restaurants have been marketing everyone,especially children through fabulous advertisement.Children have been targeted by junk food and soda manufacturers since the early twentieth century.The Cracker Jack Company,for instance,inserted toys in their product boxes,and gum manufacturers placed baseball and other sports cards in their packages (Andrew F.Smith,2006).
  In addition,fast food restaurants like to produce funny cartoon characters,derivative comics and other small gifts linked up with some set meals to catch young’s eyeballs.By doing this,fast food restaurant can build up a positive,interesting image and puzzle children who is lack of complete distinguishing ability.Using collectable toys to attract young customers remains existent these days,by Mc Donald,KFC,Hamburgers,Dunkin Donuts and other fast food restaurants.According to a survey reported in America,lots of families cannot afford to send their children to camps that are usually useless for helping children lose weight but cost about $1,000 a week (Daniel E.Harmon,2007).   However,it’s not right to blame fast food restaurants totally.Why fast food is so catch on is not only caused by restaurants,other factors like the public media,advertisement companies,individual food choice,all contribute.
  First of all,television channels play a significant part in food advertisement,as the fast food trade has been developing.Public media like TV is the simplest and most direct way to attach children who are more vulnerable to commercials,which they view less critically than adults.A large quantity of profits would be gain during this process.Those should be criticized for abetting the expending of fast food and makes a bad effect on young consumers in how to choose diet.
  What’s more,advertisement companies cooperate with fast food restaurants for benefiting each other.Fast food restaurant create the original idea and advertisement make it easier to enter consumers’ hearts by beautifying the food packages,printing countless discount tickets and posters,editing attractive short videos and so on.They sometimes can’t reach to one point but always live with each other to make the fast food products (the advertisements) widely sold.
  Moreover,this is a realist vision that accepts that fast food is never going away,but that farmer’s markets,home cooked meal,and a passion for fresh,nonindustrial tomatoes that actually have taste and texture are never going to disappear either(Richard R.Wilk,2006).Eating is not taken seriously enough while people are facing kinds of social pressures.But in some cases,individuals still have the right to manage and take care of themselves.According to a journal of the American Dietetic Association (2003),consumers should be aware that consumption of high-fat fast food may contribute to higher energy and fat intake,and lower intake of healthful nutrients.
  Though fast food problems result in complicated reasons,restaurants are playing the worst role in the fast food trade compared with the other three aspects.What should be admitted in the first place is that fast food businessman,as an essential part in the whole catering industry,should pay more attention to public health by trying to be in-depth understanding of people’s eating habits,attending professional cooking curriculums and updating the cooking skills of every chief.In the second place,healthy eating tendencies should be conducted.The last but not the least,as the huge obesity problem of children is going worse,in some cases,the reflection should be done by all the businessmen.There’s a view in catering industry that fast food trade should increase science and technology investments in product R

什么是综合性博物馆?这得从我国博物馆类型的划分方法说起。在新中国成立前的20世纪三四十年代,我国博物馆的类型分为综合博物馆和专门博物馆两种。新中国成立后,我国博物馆
今年3月,国务院颁布了《博物馆条例》,其中“国家鼓励博物馆挖掘藏品内涵,与文化创意、旅游等产业相结合,开发衍生产品,增强博物馆发展能力”的条款,无疑是给博物馆的文创注入了活力。与此同时,这一条款对于走入发展瓶颈期的中国动漫业来说,也绝对是一个“利好”。随着“读图时代”的来临,动漫元素在博物馆文化创意中的运用越来越广泛,然而,由于产业特点的不同以及体制机制等原因,动漫与博物馆的融合仍不充分。  当动
