Indian state introduces 'fat tax' 印度一省擬征收“脂肪稅”

文字稿

Malnutrition is still, of course, a major problem in India, so it's perhaps surprising that many Indians are seriously overweight. In fact, obesity has become such a major concern there, one state has proposed a so-called fat tax of 14.5% on restaurants that sell fast food, to try to make people more health conscious.

眾所周知，在印度，營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良仍是一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的問題，所以要說很多印度人的體重嚴(yán)重超標(biāo)，則可能會(huì)令人有些吃驚。其實(shí)，肥胖癥已成為該國(guó)所面臨的一個(gè)主要擔(dān)憂，以至于印度一個(gè)省份提議征收所謂的“脂肪稅” — 對(duì)餐廳里出售的快餐征收14.5%的“脂肪稅”以使人們提高健康意識(shí)。
