What is itabout Americans and food? We love to eat, but we feel 1__________ about itafterward. We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food.We’re 2__________ with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemicof obesity(肥胖). Perhapsthe 3__________ to this ambivalence(矛盾情结) lies in our history. The first Europeans came to this continentsearching for new spices but went in vain. The first cash crop(经济作物) wasn’t eaten but smoked. Thenthere was Prohibition, intended to prohibit drinking but actually encouragingmore 4__________ ways of doing it.
