What does Professor John Wilding argue about obesity?With obesity now affecting 29% of the population in England, and expected to rise to 35% by 2030, should we now recognise it as a disease? Obesity, in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that health may be adversely affected, meets the dictionary definition of disease, argues Professor John Wilding. He points out that more than 200 genes influence weight. “Thus body weight is strongly influenced by biology—it is not an individual’s fault if they develop obesity.”请根据材料选择正确答案。A、Its impact on society is expected to rise.B、It is now too widespread to be neglected.C、It should be regarded as a genetic disease.D、Its dictionary definition should be updated.

题目解答
答案
C
解析
步骤 1：理解问题背景
问题涉及对肥胖症的定义和认识。根据材料，肥胖症是指体内脂肪积累到足以影响健康的程度。材料中提到，肥胖症影响了英格兰29%的人口，并预计到2030年将上升到35%。
步骤 2：分析教授的观点
教授John Wilding认为，肥胖症符合字典中疾病的定义。他指出，超过200个基因影响体重，因此体重受到生物学的强烈影响，肥胖症不应被视为个人的过错。
步骤 3：分析选项
A、Its impact on society is expected to rise.（其对社会的影响预计会上升。）
B、It is now too widespread to be neglected.（它现在太普遍而不能被忽视。）
C、It should be regarded as a genetic disease.（它应该被视为一种遗传病。）
D、Its dictionary definition should be updated.（它的字典定义应该更新。）
