W： 今天，在Book Talk上，我们有幸主持了约翰·罗宾斯（John Robbins），并讨论了他的新书《美国人为什么胖》（Why Americans Is Fat and How we Can Los Weight）。

and they've been translated into 12 different languages.

它们被翻译成12种不同的语言。

What makes people so fascinated with your work?

是什么让人们对你的工作如此着迷？

M: Well, people read my books because more than 60% of Americans are overweight or obese.

That's no small achievement.

because I was worried when I wrote it that discussing the science might make the book more suited for a specialist audience.

But this time, I want to help ordinary people take control of their weight.

M: Briefly, I argue that every person needs to consider their metabolism and eat what suits their body's needs.

I don't advocate one single diet. Some people should eat more carbohydrates than others.

不同的人需要不同数量的蛋白质和脂肪。

W: But you do have some recommendations for everyone, including eating ten servings of vegetables and three of fruit a day.
