He had no signature order. Sometimes he would call for a salad, sometimes

Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article In The New York Times, it could also af

101、fect personal safety in some situations-in an airplane crash, for example. The New York Times Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strengthfirst

102、 set more than 60 years agorequire that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports: “If a heavier person completely fills seat, the seat is not likely to behave

103、 as intended during a crash.” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.” “Nor would the in

104、jury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from the uncontrolled movements of the passenger.” Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price, a

105、nd whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that

106、 crash testing should be done with overweight dummies (人体模型). Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said. Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the boards investigators have never seen an accident involving

Or do we just hear more about them now?Food intolerances are reactions to eating foods, in normal quantities, which d

145、o not involve the immune system. They are very different from food allergies (过敏) which happen when the body mounts an immune response to a food that is either eaten or even touches the skin. This immune response is very quick (within 20 minutes to two hours) and releases chemicals that can affect t

146、he persons breathing and heart. The reasons behind food intolerances can vary greatly. A common one is people lack enzymes (酶) needed for breaking down nutrients.While it may seem as if food intolerances are increasing, we lack the data and actual numbers, perhaps because food intolerances generally

147、 do not lead to taking medications or seeking urgent (紧急的) medical treatment. A 2009 report suggests about 20% of the population has one or more food intolerances, with no change since 1994. A more recent survey from 2020 of self-reported intolerances in internet users indicated about 25% of the pop

148、ulation.The increase may result from many factors. Some people may self-diagnose (自我诊断) a food intolerance from well-intended but misleading health advice from family and friends. Additionally, people may incorrectly owe medical symptoms (症状) to foods they have eaten. We also have an increased abili

149、ty to self-diagnose, thanks to Dr Google. Today, when attending social events with food, we can provide our dietary requirements. This also contributes to normalising food intolerances, compared to even a decade ago. Previously people would have suffered in silence or simply avoided consuming their
