Richards is more effective in persuading the audience to consider nutrition and health. Richards uses a more scientific and statistical approach when trying to convince the audience and readers compared to his counterpart.
Americans eat an unhealthy amount of sugar. “People who consumed more than a quarter of their daily calories as sugar were more than twice as likely to die…” (Richards). Richards states this to persuade the audience to lower their calorie intake of sugar. Richards wants the people in America to reduce the amount of sugar they are consuming and replace it with more beneficial calories and food that add nutritional value. For a personal example, I know someone who had diabetes but still did not watch their sugar and food intake.
