    David Zinczenko's 'Don' T Blame The Eater

    What makes an effective argument? In “Don’t Blame the Eater,” David Zinczenko argues that while it’s easy to blame the patrons themselves for being overweight or unhealthy, that much of the blame lies with the fast-food companies rather than their customers. Throughout his work Zinczenko effectively argues that fast food companies should be held responsible for health problems caused by cheap, readily available, and poorly labeled food. In attempting to convey why people feel forced to eat unhealthy fast-food, Zinczenko initially focuses on reasons consumers’ choose to purchase fast-food: affordability and availability.…

    John Stossel's Is America Number One

    Unlike the way John Stossel sees it in his documentary, Is America Number One, America is no longer the greatest country in the world. While we are better off than some of the countries that there are out there such as India, a country that is so overpopulated that it is hard to even compare the two countries, we are still not at the top of the list, literally. As we were once known for freedom and equality for all people, incredible political leaders, and rankings far ahead of other countries, we as Americans seem to forget that times have changed and that other countries have caught up to us. One of the main arguments that is brought up when people are asked why America is so great is freedom and equality. Yeah, it is fantastic that we are free but... were not the only ones.…

    Ta Nashi Coates's Between The World And Me

    Between the World and Me is a phenomenally written work of literature. A memoir of the life of black Ta’nashi Coates in the form of letter to his fifteen-year-old son. Readers follow him as he goes from a boy in the ghettos of Baltimore, to what he refers to as the Mecca that is Howard, to a man raising his son in a white America. Coates makes good points, but as I continued to read it seems that he contradicts these point. At first glance this book seems like a father’s attempt soothe his son’s uneasiness about his position as a young black man in America, during a time when many young black men are being killed.…

    “Don’t Blame the Eater,” writes David Zinczenko, president of a global health and wellness media company, who also asserts that obesity is becoming a genuine medical problem. Before 1994, he emphasizes, the rate of diabetes between children was so low that it could have been called a cultural stereotype, but, now, one out of three teenagers suffer by “obesity-related” problems. David Zinczenko claims that “the lack of information” about fast-foods and the deficit for the affordable supplementary for the fast-food restaurants are main reasons for the obesity issues; confusing explanations of calories perplex teenagers and lead them towards obesity while America possesses 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants, and it’s more complex to find a way to the…
