根据以下资料，回答下列各题：

The first time I tried shark—fin soup was at Time Warner’s annual dinner in Hong Kong．Shark_fin soup is a luxury item($100 bowl in some restaurants)in Hong Kong and Mainland China，its biggest consumers；it’s a dish that embodies east Asia’s intertwined notions of hospitality and keeping(or losing)“face”．“It’s like champagne”，says Alvin Leung，owner of Be Innovation，a Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong．“You don’t open a bottle of Coke to celebrate．It’s a ritual．”

Unfortunately，this gesture of hospitality comes with a price tag much bigger than that$ 100 bowl．All told，up t0 70 million sharks are killed annually for the trade，despite the fact that 30％of shark species are threatened with extinction．“Sharks have made it through multiple mass extinctions on our planet，”says Matt Rand，director of Pew’s Global Shark Conservation division．“Now many species are going to go the way of the dinosaur--for a bowl of soup．”

The shark—fin industry has gained notoriety in recent years not just because of what it’s doing to the global shark population but also because of what’s known as finning—the practice of catching a shark，removing its fins and dumping the animal back into the sea． While a pound of shark fin can go for up to$300，most shark meat isn’t particularly valuable，and it takes up freezer space and weight on fishing boats．Today，finning is illegal in the waters of the E．U．，the U．S．and Australia，among others；boats are required to carry a certain ratio of fins to carcasses(尸体)to prevent massive overfishing．But there are loopholes in antifinning laws that are easy to exploit．In the E．U．，for example，ships can land the fins separately from the carcasses，making the job of monitoring the weight ratio nearly impossible．In the U．S．，a boat found carrying nearly 65，000 1b．(30，000 kg)of illegal shark fms won a court case because it was registered as a cargo vessel，which current U．S．finning laws do not cover.

Sharks populations can’t withstand commercial fishing the way more fertile marine species can．Unlike other fish harvested from the wild，sharks grow slowly．They don’t reach sexual maturity until later in life—the female great white，for example，at 12 to 14 years—and when they do．they have comparatively few offspring at a time，unlike，say，tunas，which release millions of eggs when they spawn．

The shark’s plight is starting to be weighed against the delicacy’s cultural value．The conservation group has lobbied local restaurants that offer the classic nine—course banquet served at Cantonese weddings．of which shark fin is traditionally a part，to offer a n0—shark menu as a choice to couples．

(46)Signs of American culture，ranging from fast food to Hollywood movies，can be seen around the world．But now anthropologists have discovered a far more troubling cultural export from the United States-stigma against fat people．

Negative perceptions about people who are overweight are becoming the cultural norm in many countries，according to a new report in the journal Current Anthropology．(47)Although some of the shift in thinking likely is explained by idealized slim body images promoted inAmerican advertising and Hollywood movies，the emergence of fat stigma around the world may also result from public health efforts to promote obesity as a disease and a worrisomethreat to a nation’s health．

Researchers from Arizona State University Dr．Brewis and her colleagues recently completed a multicountry study intended to give a snapshot of the international zeitgeist about weight and body image．(48)The researchers elicited answers of true or false to statementswith varying degrees of fat stigmatization．The fat stigma test included statements like，“People are overweight because they are lazy”and“Fat people are fated to be fat”．Usingmostly in person interviews，supplemented with questions posed over the Internet，they testedattitudes among 700 people in lo countries，territories and cities．

The findings were troubling．Dr．Brewis said she fully expected high levels of fat stigma toshow up in the“Anglosphere”countries，including the United States，England and NewZealand，as well as in body conscious Argentina．(49)But what she did not expect was how strongly people in the rest of the testing sites that have historically held more positive views of larger bodies，including Puerto Rico and American Samoa expressed negative attitudes about weight．The results，Dr．Brewis said，suggest a surprisingly rapid“globalization of fat stigma．”

To be sure，jokes and negative perceptions about weight have been around for ages．Butwhat appears to have changed most is the level of criticism and blame leveled at people who are overweight．(50)One reason may be that public health campaigns branding obesity as a disease are sometimes perceived as being critical of individuals rather than the environmental and social factors that lead to weight gain．“0f all the things we could be exporting to help people around the world，really negative body image and low self-esteem are not what we hope is going out with public health messaging．”Dr．Brewis said．

Dr．Brewis notes that far more study is needed to determine the extent of fat stigma and whether people were experiencing more social or workplace discrimination as a result of the growing fat stigma．“I think the next big question is whether it’s going to create a lot of new suffering where suffering didn’t exist before．”Dr．Brewis said．“I think it’s important that wethink about designing health messages around obesity that don’t exacerbate the problem．”
