32、ation. M: Oh, dear. That“s too bad. But that is only men“s feelings. Do you find that women do talk so much? W: Well, it all depends.

But for some food critics, their eyes aren“t the only thing that gets wide when they consider y

Karen Fernau, a food writer for The Arizona Republic , said when she first started her job, she began to gain weight. “I always looked forward to lunch before this job, then all of a sudden lunch was all day every day.“ s

48、often added to her day. That“s about half of the recommended total calories per day for the average adult. But even though she has devised a special eating method, Fernau says sticking to it is a daily battle. And food editors, writers and critics across the country couldn“t agree more. Joe Yonan, a

Yonan says he realized early that he was gaining weight and promptly hired a personal trainer to meet with three times a week, on top of his aerobic training three to five times a week. Still, it“s a struggle that many Americans might envy. After all, it“s one thing to get your calories from lobster tails and quite another to get them from sodas and fast-food burgers. Why does the speaker say the food critics“ eyes aren“t the only thi
