14、品很快就会贴上生态标签不久之后，超市购物者就能先检查某样食品会对环境带来怎样的影响，再决定要不要把它放进购物车里，这都得益于一项新研究。但目前，消费者还无从获得这类可靠信息，因为在英国，食品生产商只需要列出他们产品的主要原料即可。科学家们为了解决这个问题，对数千种食品的成分及其生态影响进行了估算。许多消费者原本就想知道，他们每周采购的食物会对地球造成怎样的影响。食品行业也迫切需要一种新方法来测算食品的生态影响，而有些食品生产商已经采用了这种新算法。研究团队从英国和爱尔兰的超市中选取了57000种食品和饮料，并估算出它们的成分。接着，团队根据如温室气体排放及其对自然的影响等重要环境指标，对这些产品的原料种植方法、加工方式和运输方式等方面进行了评估。根据该算法，某样食品得分越高，说明它对环境的影响就越大。不过，在具体类别中，同类食品之间也存在着较大差异。例如，对环境影响最大的猪肉香肠，得分要比影响最小的香肠高出三分之一。研究人员预计，食品生态标签在短期内不会成为强制性要求。他们希望企业能主动采用这项措施，因为研究者认为，这会让这些企业的食品及饮料产品在可持续性上更有竞争力。拓展练习阅读理解参考答案5.A6.B7.C8.D
