US Cities Say No More Fast-Food Drive- roughs美國大城呼籲取消得來速

【摘要2020.3.1.蘋果】

In the US, some cities are banning drive-through windows at fast-food restaurants. Two large cities with such bans are Minneapolis, Minnesota and Long Beach, California. There are two basic reasons for the bans: concern for the environment and the need to fight obesity.

In the US, most adults drive their own automobiles and almost 40% of adults are overweight. As such, it is reasonable that people are worried about the environment and unhealthy diets.

美國有些城市開始禁用速食店的得來速窗口。目前有此禁令的兩大城分別是明尼蘇達州的明尼阿波利斯市及加州的長灘市（又譯長堤市）。有此禁令有兩個基本原因：對環境的擔憂以及對抗肥胖的必要性。

大多數美國成年人都會自己開車，而且近四成的成年人超重。正因為如此，人們擔心環境和不健康的飲食也是蠻合理的。
