问题     Beginning in October, more than 13000 McDonald’s restaurants in America will use a new variety of cooking oil. McDonald’s aims to make its French fries and other fried foods healthier.
    The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald’s says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans fatty acids (转换脂肪酸) in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats (饱和脂肪) by 16 percent. Scientists believe that trans fatty acids and saturated fats raise cholesterol (胆固醇) levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
    McDonald’s new step is important because McDonald’s is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead.
    For McDonald’s, the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about obesity, which is also an increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy food to consumers.
    After three years of study, McDonald’s officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans fatty acids. McDonald’s says the change will not cause higher coats for consumers.
    Though there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans fatty acids in foods at McDonald’s and at other fast-food companies is still important.
When a new kind of cooking oil is used in McDonald’s,______.

选项 A、the prices of McDonald’s foods will be much higher
B、consumers will find the taste of McDonald’s foods different
C、many other food companies will do what McDonald’s does
D、obesity will disappear in American society sooner or later

答案C

解析 事实细节题。文章第三段指出,由于McDonald’s在快餐业的领导地位,它对食用油的改变必将使other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead,故选C)。
