    " Clean your plate!" and " Be a member of the clean-plate club!" Just about every kid in the UK has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, it’ s【C1】______by an appeal: "Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!" Sure,we should be【C2】______for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the UK take too many bites. Instead of staying "clean the plate" ,perhaps we should【C3】______some food for tomorrow.
    According【C4】______the news reports, UK restaurants are partly to blame for the growing
bellies(肚子). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the【C5】______recommended by the government, according to a UK Today story. The British traditionally【C6】______quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain【C7】______too much food rather than too little.
    Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at London University, told the Times that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s,the same time that the British waistline began to【C8】______.
    Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to【C9】______smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling【C10】______this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people【C11】______believe restaurants serve portions that are too large;23 percent had no opinion;20 percent disagreed. But a closer 【C12】______at the survey indicates that many Americans who can’t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of【C13】______earning at least $ 150,000 per year prefer smaller portions;but only 45 percent of those earning less than $ 25 ,000 want smaller.
    It’ s not【C14】______working class Americans don’t want to eat healthy. It’ s just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good 【C15】______. They live from paycheck to paycheck, happy to save a little money for next year’s Christmas presents.
