Three things interest Westerners about China: food, fertility and finance
西方人对中国感兴趣的三件事情：食物、丰产和财经

“THE China Study” is the world’s biggest-selling book about all things Chinese because it touches on two American obsessions. The first is that you will only live longer if you are able to reduce the risk of suffering a heart attack, diabetes and cancer. The second is that there exists a conspiracy of powerful lobbies, government entities and opportunistic scientists who must be overcome. The Campbells, father and son, are there to show how to achieve both.
“中国研究”是全球销量最好的有关中国人方方面面的书籍，因为它触及了美国人最关心的两个问题。第一个：只有降低得心脏病、糖尿病和癌症的风险你才能够活得更长一些。第二个：这个世界上存在着一个由强力集团、政府实体和机会主义科学家们策划的阴谋，我们必须去挫败这些机会主义科学家。坎贝尔（Campbell）父子向我们展示如何做到这两件事情。

“After a long career in research and policymaking,” says Colin Campbell, the elder of the two authors, “I have decided to step ‘out of the system.’ I have decided to disclose why Americans are so confused. As a taxpayer who foots the bill for research and health policy in America, you deserve to know that many of the common notions you have been told about food, health and disease are wrong.”
“在长时间地从事研究和决策工作之后，”两位作者中的年长者柯林•坎贝尔（Collin Campbell）说：“我决定‘跳出这个体系’。我决定去揭露为什么美国人如此困惑。作为一名给美国的研究工作和健康政策买单的纳税人，你有权知道：许 多你们被告知的有关食品、健康和疾病的常识，都是错误的。

So who is right? The answer is the Chinese. Thomas Jefferson advised Americans that meat should be treated as a condiment for vegetables. Jefferson, like China, is now in fashion. In a nutshell: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
那么谁是正确的？答案是：中国人。托马斯•杰斐逊曾建议美国人：肉食应该作为蔬菜的调味品。杰斐逊，像中国一样，现在正在流行。简单地说吧：“进食，不要太多，绝大多数为植物。”
