The junk food, you love might soon have 'addictive' write on it. A major review has found that adding warning labels to ultra-processed food could stop people buying it. Researchers say these foods can have the same addiction symptoms as drugs. They estimate 1 in 7 adults and 1 in 8 children are already addicted to ultra-processed foods.
1,Some ultra-processed foods should be labelled 'addictive', scientists say
Some scientists think certain types of food, ultra-processed foods should be labelled 'addictive'. Addictive means something you can stop doing. But we are looking the word 'labelled', it contains the word 'label'. 'A label' is something you find, for example, on your clothes on a packet, which has some information. So a label gives you information about the object that it's attached to ,like shitr.
2,Label ultra-processed foods 'addictive' to tackle obesity, say scientists
Scientists say we should label ultra-processed foods as 'addictive' so that we can help to tackle obesity. Tackle is the word familiar to every football team. It's when you try to take the football from the opposition. In football, the other team are the opposition and you want to beat them. But in the story, tackle is used metaphorically. Obesity is what we want to beat or deal with and that's why the headline says we want to tackle obesity. We need to deal with it.
And we can use another expression as this metaphor. For example, police might tackle crime in a city, or lots of people are doing what they can tackle crime change, or I've started riding my bike to work to help tackle climate change.
3,Slapping junk food with 'addictive' warning labels could help end obesity, major review finds.
Addictive warning labels could be added to junk food. 'Slap' here means to put a label on to junk food quickly and urgently. It's emphasising that the new labels should be added soon. So it's an urgent situation and the use of alep, there's a kind of aggression about it as well.
And there's another use of 'slap' as a phrasal verb with 'down' and it means to criticise someone's suggestion.
