If you love animals, chances are that you’ve been to several zoos or aquariums and you may have even planned a family getaway around a new zoo. If you’re looking for some suggestions, the online review community Trip Advisor recently made a list of America’s top 10 zoos. You might be surprised that some of the nation’s most popular zoos are loc ated in small or mid-size cities around the country. The following are four of these top zoos.

Fast-food chains have a New Year’s determination: drop the junk. As people express dislike for food they think is overly processed, McDonald’s and other chains are trying to keep away from serving reheated meals with chemicals. Recasting (重铸) fast food as “fresh” and “real” will be difficult, in large part because it’s so universally regarded as cheap and full of fat. Another problem is that terms like “fresh”, “real” and “healthy” have nebulous meanings, making it hard for companies to understand how to make the transformation.

One way chains are looking to recast themselves is by reducing chemicals people might find unacceptable. Already, packaged food companies have begun to remove such ingredient. PepsiCo, for example, said it would remove vegetable oil from Gatorade after a teenager noted it isn’t approved for use in some markets overseas.

And fast-food chains want to jump on the “clean label” trend. Last month, McDonald’s declared improvements the company is working on, including the reduction of ingredient labels. This came after the company reported a 4.6 percent drop in U.S. sales for November, worse than two years of struggling performance.

Part of the appeal of fast-casual chains is that they position themselves as being higher in quality. Chipotle said sales at some chain shops rose 19.8 percent in the most recent season. And Panera promised to remove artificial colors and flavors from its food by 2016.

There are likely many cases where former ingredients could be replaced with natural ones without great cost. Since their functions are different, companies would have to examine recipes product by product. Michele Simon, a public health lawyer also said getting rid of additives (添加剂) here and there won’t be enough to change the way people think about fas t food. “That’s just rearranging deck (甲板) chairs on the Titanic,” Simon said.

6. What makes it difficult for fast-food chains to be accepted as fresh and real?
