More than a month after the deadline for city restaurants to stop preparing food with artificial trans fat, some fast-food chains are still serving French fries with high amounts of it, a nutrition advocacy group said yesterday. According to the group, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, one large portion of Wendy’s French fries contains nearly twice the recommended daily limit of the fat, and four limes more than the company claims. Burger King French fries also have a high trans fat content, according to a study the group released yester- day, but McDonald’ s fries were found to have far less. "That proves that other restaurants could do the same," said Michael Jacobson, executive director of the advocacy center. "It is not that restaurant French fries could not be made without trans fat." Dr. Jacobson’s group tested French fries bought at five Manhattan locations of each of the three restaurant chains over several days in July. One large serving of French fries from Wendy’s was found to contain an average of 3.7 grams of trans fat. Burger King’s fries had 3.3 grams, and the McDonald’s fries, 0.2 grams. All three of these levels represent improvements, Dr. Jacobson said, but added that Wendy’s and Burger King could go further still. Technically, the French fries served by fast-food restaurants are not subject to the rule because they arrive at the restaurants partly cooked. "We can’t control that product," said Denny Lynch, senior vice president of Wendy’s International. "We buy the product that way." The dry health department has said that no amount of trans fat is part of a healthful diet. The American Heart Association recommends that people consume less than 2 grams of it each day. Although it occurs naturally in dairy and meat, the most dangerous form comes from a synthetic process of adding hydrogen to oil, which increases its density and makes it last longer. Trans fat has been found to increase bad cholesterol, which can lead to heart disease, and lower the kind of cholesterol that helps protect the heart. It can also contribute to diabetes, Dr. Jacobson said. Wendy’s Web site claims that its large fries have a mere gram of trans fat, thanks to a change in cooking oil last summer. Mr. Lynch said he trusted his company’s numbers over the center’s, noting that Wendy’s had tested hundreds of samples. "Ask a scientist if a sample of five is better than a sample of hundreds," he said, dismissing Dr. Jacobson’ s group as "the food nannies." He explained the discrepancy in trans fat content by pointing out that sometimes servers gave out extra fries with an order. He said another possibility was that some of the trans fat on the French fries from the supplier could accumulate in the frying oil at the restaurant. Dr. Jacobson dismissed those explanations as "hand-waving." "Three and a half grams is outrageous," he said, "and Wendy’s shouldn’t be blaming a clerk who might be giving you a few extra French fries." Customers who were told that Wendy’s fries had a high trans fat content were undeterred. "I’m not surprised," said Tasha Dunn of the Bronx, who was waiting for a takeout order yesterday at a Wendy’s at 48th Street and Avenue of the Americas. "Without trans fat, it would taste different." Of course, it’ s not healthful food that people are seeking when they order a burger and fries. "It’ s just a craving that I have once in a while," said Angie Cureno, 36, who was eating fries at a McDonald’ s on Seventh Avenue with her sister and daughter. She did not seem impressed that McDonald’ s had outperformed its competitors in the trans fat tests. "It’s all junk food," she said. From this report, we can see that an effective way to reduce the trans fat content in fast food may be

For the 1992 Winter Games, French organizers constructed a new motorway, parking lots and runs for skiing in the Alps. Environmentalists screamed "Disaster!" Thus warned, the Norwegians have adopted "green" advice and avoided great blots on the landscape. The speed-skating rink was built to look like an over- turned ship, and placed so as not to disturb a bird sanctuary. Dug into a mountainside, the hockey arena is well concealed and energy efficient. The bobsled run is built out of wood not metal and hidden among trees, No wonder the president of the international Olympic Committee has called these the first "Green Games". Lillehammer’s opening ceremonies featured a giant Olympic Torch burning biogas produced by rotting vegetation. During construction, builders were threatened with 7,500 fines for felling trees unnecessarily. Rare trees were carefully transplanted from hillsides. Food is being served on potato-based plates that will be fed, in turn, to pigs. Smoking has been banned outdoors as well as in, with enforcement by polite requests. Environmentalists have declared partial victory, though Coca-Cola’ s plan to decorate the town with banners has been scaled back, there are still too many billboards for strict green tastes. Perhaps, but after the Games, athlete housing will be converted into vacation homes or shipped to the northlands for student dormitories. Bullets will be plucked from targets and recycled to keep the lead from poisoning ground water. And these tricks won’ t be forgotten. Embarrassed by environmental protests, the I. O.C. claims that green awareness is not entrenched—along with sport and culture—as a permanent dimension of the Olympic Charter. Indeed, Sydney was successful in becoming host for the 2000 Summer Games in part on the strength of its endorsement from Greenpeace. Aspiring host cities are picking up the code. Salt Lake City, bidding for the 2002 Games, may opt to use the bobsled nm that Calgary built for the ’00 Games. After that, who could deny that recycling is an Olympic movement Which of the following describes the I. O. C’s attitude towards the environmentalists’ protests
I’m in Paris, and a strangely quiet Paris it is. Nothing is going nowhere. If they’re not on strike here, they’re stuck in a traffic jam. It took me two hours to go two miles yesterday evening. And this morning many of the taxis, too, have joined in, leaving me with no alternative but to start walking. And it’ s bitterly cold! The strikes are serious protests about serious issues, but I’m struck, as so often on these occasions, by something much more mundane. People are once again talking to people; strangers are going out of their way to befriend strangers, allies for a week or two in their shared frustration. Parisian motorists, even, normally the most competitive of individualists, have been seen leaving notes in their parked cars saying where they are going and when they expect to leave in case anymore wants a lift. Remove the technology of modem life, it seems, and we often start to be nice to one another again. Technology can isolate us, for all its benefits. It started, I guess, with the chimney. Before there were chimneys, we all had to huddle together in one room Just to keep warm, master and maid, cowman and son of the house. Then some unknown genius came up with the idea of the chimney, and the social stratification of society increased dramatically as all withdrew into their own quarters. Central heating, which is, more truthfully, decentralized heating, made it worse, and now we have our walkmans, our microwaves, or, if we’ re really trendy, the Internet and e-mail. You can get by, these days, without actually speaking to anyone at all. Just the odd grunt to show that you’ re alive ! I liked the survey which asked teenagers how they laid a table for a meal. Did they put the knife on the fight and the fork on the left, or did they put them both together And 40 percent said one and 20 percent the other, but 40 percent didn’t know! They had never sat down at a table together but had always, as they say, been grazers, helping themselves from the fridge and carrying the food off to their own comer to munch on their own. If progress means that we don’ t need to talk to each other anymore, then I’m getting worried. You can’ t begin to love and befriend your neighbors if you never talk to them, and vice versa, they can’t love you. It becomes a recipe for a world of solitaries. But most of us weren’t destined to be hermits. People need people to be truly people, as the Parisians, in spite of all their frustrations, are discovering again this week. "Try walking instead" was my motto for this morning, but perhaps the motto for us all this festive month might be "Turn it off, whatever it is, and try talking instead!\ Which of the following statements is true
