Filmgoers should be told how many calories there are in the popcorn, ice cream and soft drinks that they buy in cinemas, according to the Food Standard Agency.
Smaller popcorn buckets and drink cups should also be made{#blank#}1{#/blank#} , the nutrition inspector said.
Tim Smith, chief executive of the agency, told The Times that cinemas should help to deal with the country's overweight {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.
"There is a misbelief that popcorn is calorie-free, but that is not the case. It is a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}to us," he said. "Portion sizes are also a big issue, and there seems to be increasingly big packs on sale."
He spoke as a number of food chains such as Pret A Manger, Wimpey and The Real Greek{#blank#}4{#/blank#}to put calorie counts on all their menus.
A trial scheme(试行方案) with 21 food companies took place last summer, and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}are that consumers altered their buying habits when they realised the number of calories in a product.

Government{#blank#}7{#/blank#}suggest that two thirds of adults and a third of children are overweight.

Titanic II Could Sail as Soon as 2022
If you thought the long-delayed project to launch a full-size copy of the ill-fated Royal Mail Ship Titanic was sunk in the water—think again. Just like Celine Dion sang back in 1997, the travel project will "go on and on."
Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer, who is behind the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, announced in September that work on the ship had started again. The idea was first floated in 2012. It is said that the new ship will be a(n) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} copy of the infamous ship, which sank in 1912 following a crash with an iceberg (冰山).
To avoid a(n) {#blank#}3{#/blank#} disaster, Titanic II will apparently be equipped with plenty of life boats, modern navigation (导航) and radar equipment. The first voyage, however, will take passengers from Dubai to New York, reports CruiseArabia, with the first sailing {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to take place in 2022. Blue Star Line says the nine-decked ship will be home to 835 cabins, and 2,435 passengers will be {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. You'll be able to buy first-, second- and third-class tickets—just like in the original.
Meanwhile tourists with plenty of money might soon have the chance to dive to the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of the original Titanic. American company OceanGate has planned diving trips for 2019, costing $105,129 per person.
Of course, the original Titanic voyage ended in {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, with over 1,500 people losing their lives. For many, voyages to the original ship are in bad taste. Steve Sims, founder of The Bluefish, said earlier in 2018 that he doesn't see diving to the original one as {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.
Realistically, it's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} whether Titanic II will ever see the light of day—or whether the diving tours will happen soon. But one thing is for certain, more than 100 years after the Titanic's first and only voyage, global interest in this ship shows no {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of slowing down.
