Upon reading Mr. Zinczenko’s, “Don’t blame the reader” I have to say I completely agree with his view on how fast-food companies don’t necessarily warn the consumer about the food they provide. He touches on the fact that he was one of those overweight kids who used to each fast-food and that he feels sympathy towards those people. I kind of do feel sympathy because I was one of those kids, seriously. However, I do agree with what he says about self responsibility. Those kids who sued McDonald's do sound dumb, but they are just victims to a lie .

Growing up a mexican kid, my parents are really hardworking, and I am grateful for that. However, my parents got out late and my mom didn't have time to cook me a meal, so she bought me fast food.

He clearly states so here, “Shouldn’t we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast food restaurants”. There isn’t much to this, we don’t have may alternative other than fast food. The people who argue the two meals thing, don;t think it though. Instead of saying that we should know better, maybe they should try and eat healthy everyday. The truth is we don't have time to watch what we eat which makes it all the more important for fast food restaurants to either develop an actual healthy menu, or make more healthy
