Rhetorical Analysis Of Don T Blame The Eater

In conclusion, David Zinczenko’s use of rhetorical appeals such as personal experiences, reliable sources, and creative scenarios has strengthened the author’s

Zinczenko begins this article by saying that kids taking on McDonald’s is like middle aged men suing Porsche for making them get speeding tickets, and that there should be a level of personal responsibility. While this is a valid argument, he says that he sympathizes with the fast-food patrons as he used to be one. Growing up, Zinczenko was always between homes. He had split up parents who both worked full time. Most meals for him were a choice of fast food restaurants. As a result of this, by age 15, Zinczenko weighed over 200 pounds.

In David Zinczenko’s article “Don’t Blame the Eater” he emphasizes the role of fast food industry on how it increases the health and obesity issues among children worldwide. Throughout his article, he argues against the manipulation of the fast food company that may cause serious health issues toward consumers. In order to prove that the fast food industry is at fault, he uses ethos to gain credibility through personal experience, pathos to show his emotion with the tone of the article, and logos to support his claim in data he provided.

Zinczenko uses a good balance with Logos, Ethos and Pathos. In his essay, to help him support his claim. An example of the appeals he uses, is using the statistics and facts on obesity to support his assumption of blame towards Fast-food is a example of the Logos. Using Pathos by saying he grew up in the middle of his parent's divorce and was on a Fast-food diet because his mom was out working to pay the bills and his father trying to rebuild his life. Based on his own experience, he gives the audience a sympathetic and credible source to believe in his perspective making his article

Zinczenko ate a lot of fast food when he was younger because that is what his mother could afford. There are countless people in this situation. People also go to fast food restaurants because it is convenient, cheap, and on the go. The problem is that these ‘restaurants’ do not sell quality food as they advertise on TV, radio, and online. They sell cheap, processed foods that cause health problems to their consumers without them knowing.

My main claim for this essay is to inform all my readers that we cannot resist but eat more tasty unhealthy food. Such as KFC, deep fried foods and chickens, it knows our weakness for fat and it gives pleasure and leads us into a trap. The poem of this essay’s name is “Food Inglorious Food”, and its author/poet's name is Andrea Dietrich. And that's why we cannot resist but eat more unhealthy food. Eat more fruits and vegetables so you don’t have to go to the gym more often, but don’t eat the apple it is stealthy and it will not change

Throughout this book, I took note about how the writers used a critical tone to reject large fast-food companies for their deceptive techniques which aim to lure more customers. The authors go on to state how “most fast-food meals are…the perfect meals for making you unhealthy” because they are “low in nutrients…and high in calories” (261). To add on the author also presents the effects of fast-food on consumers by saying how “the rise of suburbia, changes in the American workplace, and the triumph of the automobile have made it easier to grow obese” (259). Here we can see that advancements in technology have led to a more sedentary lifestyle which leads to weight gain. Today, obesity is a growing issue in the US because it can turn into a genetic problem and there are also many social stigmas associated with being obese in cultures all around the world. I eat fast-food about once or twice a week and I have already learned that food in this industry is made to be craved. Because I have time for exercise, I am able to stay healthy. In contrast, I know some who are limited on time and are unable to exercise. Unfortunately, these are the people who fall into the trap and soon become lazy due to the convenience of

David Zinczenko who for a long time was the editor and chief of a fitness magazine explained his own point of view with agriculture. For Zinczenko growing up middle class was hard for anyone. Zinczenko’s parents were divorced, his dad was trying to rebuild his life and his mom worked long hours to support the two of them. Zinczenko stated that “Lunch and dinner, for me, was a daily choice between McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken or Pizza Hut. Then as now, these were the only available option for an American kid to get an affordable meal.” Zinczenko gained a lot of

Have you been a victim of the so called “ fast food obesity outbreak”? You 're not the only one. In today 's society this so called “fast food induced obesity” is a huge controversy concerning many countries today in time. The common culprits of the obesity issue is fast food, school lunch, and unhealthy food people consume at home. Who can we trust? Well many people believe that the consumer should not be responsible for their actions when it comes to consuming fast food, which is seen in this piece “ Don 't blame the eater,” by David Zinczenko. Throughout his essay he explains his reasoning with many hard facts and personal stories about fast food insufficient food labels and how they’re causing multiple health implications. Is that really the issue, though? Clearly the fast food industry has to take some of the blame for this problem,but they are not the direct cause. Therefore fast food is not a direct cause of “ Fast food related illness,” and obesity in America.

In the article, Don’t Blame the Eater, David Zinczenko focuses on the reason behind the obesity problem that the young generation is facing. According to him, the large chains of fast-food restaurants, given their availability around the country, and low prices are the ones causing this problem. He brings in his own life experience, and tells the story of transforming into a 212 pounds teenager to highlight that he had to rely on these fast food chains for everyday meal. With a single mother working long hours, he had no other alternatives to this like many American teens. The lack of information about the calorie content of the dishes on these restaurants was an added concern. Most of these restaurants do not provide enough data about the calorie content of their dishes, and even if they do so its mostly vague and deceiving. To show the gravity of the problem he pulls out a statistics of an increase in type 2 diabetes, declaring it as a cause for expenses billions of dollars in healthcare. Zinczenko implies that this impact is as serious as smoking; fast food should have a warning label to raise awareness among the consumers. He addresses these food chains as vulnerable and alerts them that they will find themselves in trouble unless they look out for their purchasers. He added the detrimental effects these food habits can have in our society at some point.

Obesity has become a huge problem in the United States, and has affected almost everyone’s lives in some way. Obesity is not something people should take lightly, but many do. Obesity is very dangerous and can shorten a person’s life by years. Both David Zinczenko and Radley Balko agree that obesity is dangerous and has emerged as a huge problem. However, the two differ on why this problem has occurred and how it may be solved. Zinczenko believes that fast food restauraunts are at fault for the many unlabeled obvious health hazards. While Balko goes in the complete opposite direction, he says that obesity is our own fault and is causing healthy people to

In the article “Don’t Blame the Eater,” David Zinczenko claims that the frequent eating at fast food restaurants and having a shortage of healthier food alternative places is causing an obesity breakout throughout the United States. In comparison, Freedman’s claim contradicts everything the citizens are told and read about fast foods and processed foods from mass media. He believes citizens are informed by the media that processed food, junk food, and fast food restaurants are the cause of the obesity epidemic in America. Based on the facts they provide, Zinczenko and Freedman have a good argument; however, I believe it is the own person’s fault. Explaining his own experiences as a “1980’s latchkey kid,” Zinczenko describes how easy it is for teenagers to put on weight with a steady diet of fast food

More than one-third of the U.S adults and children are obese or overweight due to high calorie intake from unhealthy diets and fast food products. High calorie intake is the hefty amount of more calories that you should consume in a days time. Obesity is the condition of being grossly fat or overweight. As well as an imbalance of the amount of energy that is taken in from drinking and eating and energy spent on metabolism and physical activity. If more people would worry about their health, then there would be less obesity and overweight rates in the U.S and foreign countries. Fast foods are made tasty, “stable”, and cheap. They are made to have a long shelf life. They also are rigged with a lot of trans fatty acids and oils. According to a new study, fast food is the cause of an obesity epidemic. Cheap food has a stronger link hold to obesity. Many people settle for less when it comes to fast food, only because it means they don’t have to put much effort into cooking a home healthy meal, but what they do not consider is the disadvantages that a fast food diet has in store for them.

Over the years, many attempts have been made to associate fast food with obesity and health effects. All over the world, people did not change their desire of eating fast food for that claims. The lack of controlling them self from eating a lot of quantity is one of the obesity causes. “Over the past several decades Americans have steadily gotten fatter. Although our increasingly sedentary lifestyles are partly to blame, a big reason for our national weight gain is that we 're simply eating more”. (Harding)

In this article published by the International Journal of Obesity, S. Rice, Department of Nutrition and Food Science, EJ McAllister, Human Nutrition and Food Division, and NV. Dhurandhar, Department of Infections and Obesity, evaluate the effects of fast food in society. Fast food is vastly blamed for the rising obesity epidemic, which as discussed in the article is fictional. Depending on the income of a household, the age group of the consumers, or someone always on the go, fast food is something people rely on every day as their source of food. This article discusses how fast food is often blamed for obesity, but in fact has little, to nothing to deal with obesity rates. I will be using this article in my research as a scholarly source to show how obesity rates are not to be blamed on fast food.
