福克斯新闻 消费者要求食品包装给出营养成分表

A majority of Americans, 84 percent, want the government to require nutrition labels on food packaging even if they may not want to read them. This according to a new Reuters/Ipsos Opinion Poll¹, which found only 13 percent said they "always" read the nutrition facts when deciding what to buy.

Many poll respondents interested in sugar, calories, salt and fat content. Fewer than half of those surveyed said they would be willing to pay more for foods that are organic², grass-fed or contain no added sugars or genetically-engineered ingredients³. There is something they would shell out for: Locally-grown food. 57 percent said they would consider paying more for it.

大部分美国人，84%的美国人，都希望政府规定食品包装给出营养成分表，即便他们可能并不会看这个表。

这一消息来自路透社/伊普索斯民调。该民调发现，只有13%的受访者表示他们在买东西的时候有看营养成分表的习惯。

许多受访者感兴趣的是产品中糖、卡路里、盐和脂肪的含量。只有不到半数的受访者表示，愿意为有机、草饲、不含多余糖分以及基因工程产品花更多钱。他们愿意花更多钱买当地产的视频。有57%的受访者都表示他们愿意在这种食品上花更多的钱。
