Caesar Barber: Who's To Blame?

Improved Essays
Caesar Barber is a garbage man. But he made a lawsuit against McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken about a week ago. He said that the food there made him obese. He made the lawsuit because he gained lots of weight from eating at the restaurants. In this case I am on the fast foods side.
One reason I think it is Caesar Barbers fault is because it is Caesars fault for eating there. If he didn’t eat at those places at all, he wouldn’t be super obese. Or if he didn’t eat there as often he wouldn’t be as obese as his is now. It is also his fault for eating there almost everyday. If he didn’t go there everyday at the fast food places, he would not be as obese.
Another reason I think it is Caesars fault is that it is his fault

    In the documentary Super Size Me, narrated and directed by Morgan Spurlock, Mr. Spurlock sets out to see just what effect eating fast food can have on a person’s health. Numerous questions are posed during the film, so it is difficult to determine the exact thesis of the argument. After filtering through all of the information, I determined the main point of the argument to be that McDonald’s knowingly provides unhealthy food to Americans and wants us to eat as much of its food as we can, therefore making us fat. Mr. Spurlock sets out on an experiment with himself as the subject, in which he eats nothing but McDonald’s food for 30 days. Although Mr. Spurlock does present evidence that fast food is unhealthy, I am going to focus on all of the inconsistencies and fallacies in his argument.…

    Throughout this entire article, “Don’t Blame the Eater” by David Zinczenko, Zinczenko tells his readers how we as a society shouldn’t put all of the blame for young adults and children getting fat on them. We need to put more of the blame in this situation on the fast food restaurants not the “eaters.” Zinczenko admits he was one of these kids, his father was out of the picture trying to fix his life, and his mom was having to work a full time job to pay the bills. So lunch and dinner for him was an option between McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Pizza. He admits that times have still not changed much since then and still in today’s society these are the only options for younger people to get affordable meals that are left…

    While viewing the video “Kraft leading the Way” demonstrates the beginning steps of Kraft Foods implementing changes to make Kraft products healthier. Subsequently, the motivation for this change at Kraft Foods is a result of numerous lawsuits which have been filed, the socially responsible culture that currently exists for most companies, and pressure from the consumers for Kraft to be socially responsive. Succinctly, motivation for this change does matter to the consumers who purchase Kraft products every day, since they witness the results of the consumption of Kraft foods by their family and friends.
