E 应该是：the rate of people of consuming fatty food is about the same (of that)in France and the Unite States

E, OG:of people consuming fatty foods -  of sb doing肯定错

为甚么肯定错? 能说得仔细点吗?

我感觉E直接把原句重心给变掉了，你读读原句是说人吃fatty food,然后死亡率吧～

改变原句重心和结构是不对的

That's what I thought

前后两个分句都以rate开头并且作为做主语，句子结构非常对称啊， although the rate of ....., the death rate....

逻辑意思有问题

the rate of people consuming fatty foods 中consuming作为people的定语，后面都可以括弧起来 其实是the rate of people 不合逻辑  B就避免了这个问题

of sb doing sth 是GMAT比较讨厌的结构

可以说unemployment rate; birth rate; rate of comsumption

但是不可以说 rate of people

补充楼上的说法。
