单选题
In the United States, 30 percent of adult population has a "weight problem". Because they eat too much. Going back to America of 1910, we find that people were leaner (较瘦) than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically (体力上), walked more, used machine much less, and they didn't watch television.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average (平均) than thinner people. A 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers showed that fat people ate less than slim (苗条) people.
Studies also show that slim people are more active and have more physical activities than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:
The more the man ran, the greater loss (损耗) of body fat.
The more the man ran, the greater more food he needed.
So those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost greater amount (数量) of body fat.
