In David Zinczenko's article of "Dont Blame the Eater" he made it clear that he blames the fast food industries for the increase in childrens obesity. At one point he says,"its the lack of information on the lables of what we exactly are ingesting". This statment is false for numerous reasons, one being the fact all of McDonalds sold food has the calorie intake on the wrap(just like at the grocery store). In fact in his article it makes it a point to say fast food is cheaper. Any day of week i would like to show mr. David all the grocery stores such as Wal-mart and Kroger, where you can find affordable yet inexpensive food. Yes, you may even find your grapefruit for under a dollar.
A different view
David Zinczenko wrote an article called "Dont Blame the Eater". He says that fast food resturaunts are a major cause in this development of child obesity. I believe Mr. Zinczenko is right, he gave statistic of dibetes type two raising twenty-five percent since 1965. Though, david goes as far to say that it is a legitament case for teenagers to sue these fast food joints, i am not so sure about. It would not solve any problems for the people to sue these places but to cause more problems. i believe that if we the parents would try and cooka t home a little more and have a sit down dinner, we maybe able to eliminate this potential danger from our kids lives.

I read the introduction to "They Say I Say". It began with asking about a hobby or activity that i do well. It went on to say that writing is the same way as any other hobby. Much like the saying "practice makes perfect". It went on to say that the basic moves of English are essential to the structure of the language. Form there on the basic moves were instead called "templates". It also said that if you structure you r words into a different format that the audience wouldn't be left in wonder yet possibly agreeing with you. A social critic by the name of Katha Pollitt, left a quote that i found insulting to Americans and the flag as well. In this quote she said, "the flag stands for jingoism and vengeance and war."Also the book went on to ways of responding with the "they say/I say" format. The template can be used to help open an introduction, explain an inncident, or support a topic. It also goes to say that you can still be creative using template form. The last of the reading was called "Putting in Your Oar". I think this in general this was saying that when in the social world and functioning as an human, that you have to be able to put yourself out there and understand ratical events and talk about them as well. You will have to do so in a manner that may make someonelse think and possibly change thier mind on a given topic.
