Analysis Of DonT Blame The Eater By David Zinczenco

Increasing the options of fast food restaurants in America gave society different choices of where they can choose to go eat. Some restaurants may be cheaper than others, but what society didn’t realize was the cheaper the restaurant the more calories the food contains. The consumers didn’t seem to realize or have a problem with these cheaper companies until some consumers sued the company for getting them fat. This caused children to sue Mcdonald's the company for making the consumers get fat. For this reason, according to the author David Zinczenko it is a problem that people are not informed on how many calories the food they're eating contains. He has the credibility to be trusted by his audience

People may say that they are obligated to do something that they may not want to do. An example of this can when someone may say that they don’t want to go to work but they have to go.

We can even agree that fast-food diets are a major contributing factor to

In the two essay talk about obesity in America, one controversial issue has been that fast-food has been causing obesity in America.

In Michael Moss’ article, “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Food,” he discussed multiple methods food industries used to attract consumers to buy more of their products. He mentioned how multiple CEO’s of food companies discussed the health epidemic. He revealed, “Today, one in three adults is considered clinically obese, along with one in five kids, and 24 million Americans are afflicted by type 2 diabetes, often caused by poor diet”(476-477). Basically, Moss is stating that millions of Americans are at risk of or have type 2 diabetes because of the unhealthy choices in their diet.

In today’s society a huge issue is that we constantly hear about the food industry in America. We often hear in the news that obesity rates have increased, or that Americans have many diseases that contribute to being obese. “What You Eat is Your Business” by Radley Balko expresses that people are at fault for making such unhealthy food choices. Others argue that the food industry is to blame for being so unhealthy. According to David Zinczenko in “Don’t Blame the Eater” he blames the fast food industry as well as the consumer. Zinczenko asks “shouldn’t we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast food restaurant’s?” (392). So, who is to blame for American’s eating so much unhealthy food? Should it be the consumers’ burden or the fast food companies? On one hand, as consumers we continue to purchase foods that we know are making us overweight. On the other hand, fast food companies continue to offer high in calories foods.

In “Don’t Blame the Eater”, the writer, David Zinczenko, initially argues that those teens who are fat because of eating fast food from restaurants like McDonalds, should take responsibility for their obesity. He then sympathizes with the obese children by giving his own childhood example. His mother and father were usually away working and he had no other choice but to rely on fast food restaurants. He argues about the growing number of fast food chains, how FDA doesn’t take notice of the ingredients that are not mentioned on food packaging and how it is the responsibility of the parents to make sure that their children are eating right. He also argues that the money fast food chains like McDonalds are spending on advertising and targeting

David Zinczenko was one of the lucky ones. He used to be one of the kids whose only option was fast food, but had the opportunity to turn his life around and join the Navy Reserves. As the type 2 diabetes rate keeps increasing the amount of money spent to help the kids with type 2 diabetes keeps increasing. Kids are getting more and more angry at all these companies claiming that they are the ones responsible for their health problems. Even though in a way these kids are passing the buck, these companies need to realize that they advertise for people to eat their products. David Zinczenko points out that, “Fast-food companies are marketing to children a product with proven health hazards and no warning labels. They would do well to protect

Is Greed actually not of a financial use rather than a emotional use. If so would employees who work at fast-food establishments or even major corporate heads of these billion dollar fast-food chains allow their own children to indulge themselves in them, knowingly aware of the vast risks they could embark on later in life due to their unhealthy choices? David Zinczenko brings up valid points on how fast-food is harmful to one’s body in “Don’t Blame the Eater,”. Zinczenko is able to effectively argue against the manipulation of the food industry by showing the reader that the consumer is the victim while the food industry is the one to blame. His use of questioning, personal appeals, imagery, direct tone and colorful diction results in a compelling case that supports his accusations of manipulation by the fast food industry.

Many points are stated, in the article “The battle against fast food begins in the home”,by Daniel Weintraub. Although there are many points in the article he is clearly trying to get one across. The idea that Weintraub argues is, parents - not fast food companies are to blame for children being obese. My personal view of this epidemic coincides with Weintraub’s opinion. It is the parents fault ,not the eater, the children, not the fast food companies. The parents.

Regarding the possibility of being a short-sighted policy, the move is useless as it is only symbolic. There have been many discussions whether or not unhealthy fast foods carry labels warning of their calorie content. McDonald’s, one of the world’s largest fast food restaurants, has implemented menu labelling to inform customers about menu items since 2012 in the United States, showing the amount of calories they put in their foods (Strom, 2012).
