      As growth slows in wealthy countries, Western food companies are aggressively expanding in developing nations, contributing to obesity and health problems.

      FORTALEZA, Brazil — Children’s squeals rang through the muggy morning air as a woman pushed a gleaming white cart along pitted, trash-strewn streets. She was making deliveries to some of the poorest households in this seaside city, bringing pudding, cookies and other packaged foods to the customers on her sales route.

      Celene da Silva, 29, is one of thousands of door-to-door vendors for Nestlé, helping the world’s largest packaged food conglomerate expand its reach into a quarter-million households in Brazil’s farthestflung corners.

      As she dropped off variety packs of Chandelle pudding, Kit-Kats and Mucilon infant cereal, there was something striking about her customers: Many were visibly overweight, even small children.

      She gestured to a home along her route and shook her head, recalling how its patriarch, a morbidly obese man, died the previous week. “He ate a piece of cake and died in his sleep,” she said.

      Mrs. da Silva, who herself weighs more than 200 pounds, recently discovered that she had high blood pressure, a condition she acknowledges is probably tied to her weakness for fried chicken and the Coca-Cola she drinks with every meal, breakfast included.

      Nestlé’s direct-sales army in Brazil is part of a broader transformation of the food system that is delivering Western-style processed food and sugary drinks to the most isolated pockets of Latin America, Africa and Asia. As their growth slows in the wealthiest countries, multinational food companies like Nestlé, PepsiCo and General Mills have been aggressively expanding their presence in developing nations, unleashing a marketing juggernaut that is upending traditional diets from Brazil to Ghana to India.

      A New York Times examination of corporate records, epidemiological studies and government reports — as well as interviews with scores of nutritionists and health experts around the world — reveals a sea change in the way food is produced, distributed and advertised across much of the globe. The shift, many public health experts say, is contributing to a new epidemic of diabetes and heart disease, chronic illnesses that are fed by soaring rates of obesity in places that struggled with hunger and malnutrition just a generation ago.

      The new reality is captured by a single, stark fact: Across the world, more people are now obese than underweight. At the same time, scientists say, the growing availability of high-calorie, nutrient-poor foods is generating a new type of malnutrition, one in which a growing number of people are both overweight and undernourished.

      “The prevailing story is that this is the best of all possible worlds — cheap food, widely available. If you don’t think about it too hard, it makes sense,” said Anthony Winson, who studies the political economics of nutrition at the University of Guelph in Ontario. A closer look, however, reveals a much different story, he said. “To put it in stark terms: The diet is killing us.”

      Even critics of processed food acknowledge that there are multiple factors in the rise of obesity, including genetics, urbanization, growing incomes and more sedentary lives. Nestlé executives say their products have helped alleviate hunger, provided crucial nutrients, and that the company has squeezed salt, fat and sugar from thousands of items to make them healthier. But Sean Westcott, head of food research and development at Nestlé, conceded obesity has been an unexpected side effect of making inexpensive processed food more widely available.

      “We didn’t expect what the impact would be,” he said.

      Part of the problem, he added, is a natural tendency for people to overeat as they can afford more food. Nestlé, he said, strives to educate consumers about proper portion size and to make and market foods that balance “pleasure and nutrition.”

      There are now more than 700 million obese people worldwide, 108 million of them children, according to research published recently in The New England Journal of Medicine. The prevalence of obesity has doubled in 73 countries since 1980, contributing to four million premature deaths, the study found.

É uma reunião de setenta e seis artigos e crônicas que falam exclusivamente sobre a história do Ceará entre 1608 e 1959. O texto transcrito abaixo foi extraído do segundo volume e, como vocês poderão ver, é um artigo sobre a obra do também cearense Manuel de Oliveira Paiva, Dona Guidinha do Poço. Servindo-se de uma pesquisa feita pelo historiador Ismael Pordeus, Gustavo Barroso fala do romance de Oliveira Paiva, mais especificamente, das relações entre essa obra literária e a verdade histórica que ela transfigura.

Leia o enunciado seguinte e atente ao que é dito sobre ele: “Tinha terminado de cumprir sua pena na cadeia pública e andava assim de léu em léu, sem teto e sem destino, como um resto de naufrágio açoitado pelo mar” (linhas 13-16).

I. As expressões “andava assim de léu em léu”, “sem teto e sem destino” e “como um resto de naufrágio açoitado pelo mar” são de certa forma redundantes, mas formam uma gradação cujo clímax dá ênfase ao estado em que se encontra Lessa.

II. Há, no enunciado, uma metáfora que aproxima a velha Lessa dos destroços de um naufrágio.

III. A comparação do enunciado reúne em si as duas expressões anteriores e enfatiza a situação de abandono e a falta de perspectiva em que vive a velha Lessa.

Reflita sobre os enunciados transcritos e o que se diz sobre eles.

I. “estava eu de supor que contemplava na mendiga semitrôpega a figura central duma tragédia real e dum romance destinado a certa celebridade literária” (linhas 18-22). A construção sintática “estava eu de supor” não é comum no português brasileiro contemporâneo. Atualmente, evitaríamos esse torneio sintático e o reduziríamos: (Eu) estava supondo ou (Eu) supunha.

II. “O que até recentemente se não sabia sobre este livro notável é que não passa de uma história romanceada com a maior fidelidade possível aos elementos humanos, sociais e paisagísticos da realidade.” (linhas 26-30) A posição do pronome oblíquo átono em “até recentemente se não sabia sobre este livro notável” recebe o nome de apossínclise e está em desuso no português brasileiro contemporâneo. Nesse caso, se usaria a próclise: até recentemente não se sabia sobre este livro notável.

III. “Sua figura acurvada e encanecida me impressionava” (linhas16-17); “sem bulha nem matinada, dela se afastou” (linhas 41-42). Nesses casos, o enunciador emprega a próclise. No português do Brasil, atualmente, há preferência pela ênclise, assim sendo, hoje, esses enunciados teriam a seguinte estrutura: Sua figura acurvada e encanecida impressionava-me; sem bulha nem matinada, dela afastou-se.

Observe o que se diz sobre o período seguinte: “Na última década do século passado, entre os tipos populares da cidade de Fortaleza, capital do Ceará, minha terra natal, andava uma velha desgrenhada, farrapenta e suja, que a molecada perseguia com chufas, a que ela replicava com os piores doestos deste mundo.” (linhas 1-7).

I. A preposição “entre”, em “entre os tipos populares de Fortaleza”, poderia ser substituída por “em meio a”.

II. Em “capital do Ceará, minha terra natal”, há dois apostos. Podemos entender que os dois explicitam “cidade de Fortaleza”, ou que o segundo explicita “capital do Ceará”. No segundo caso, teremos um aposto dentro de outro aposto.

III. Dentro do contexto, poderíamos substituir o artigo indefinido uma, em “uma velha desgrenhada”, pelo artigo definido a.
