Two summary's of "Don't Blame the Eater" by David Zinczenko

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.

  1. When discussing an author's ideas, use their last name only. Zinczenko, not Mr. Zinczenko, David, or Mr. David!

    Also, don't state the author's name and use a pronoun when introducing an essay. Instead of "In David Zinczenko's article of "Dont Blame the Eater" he made it clear...", write: "In the article "Dont Blame the Eater," David Zinczenko clearly blames the fast food..."
