Exercise #2
1. In David Zinczenko's "Don't Blame the Eater", Zinczenko claims that there are no inexpensive and convenient alternative to fast-food restaurants, which is untrue. A simple inexpensive way that has people staying at home are home cooked meals. Chosen by the people themselves, ingredients that are healthy are whipped up into a meals that don't have them wasting gas driving to a place where they are able to purchase Diabetes in a bag. The wait sometimes for a meal might be shorter at a fast-food restaurant, but the knowledge the mystery of what ingredients are put the food are a turn off. The satisfaction of creating a healthy dish at home should turn people away form the selling of cheap Mystery Meat. There are many alternatives to the cheap world of fast-food that had come up over the years to awareness of the unhealthiness of the fast-food enterprise.
2. Awareness has finally come to the problem of obesity, not only in the US, but in other countries too and the question is, is it a medical problem, or a cultural stereotype? While both could be argued, the main concern for most is the medical problem. Families with low income have gotten into the habit of feeding their children McDonalds or Burger King because they had no other choice, but this choice has led the children down a scary medical path. Type 2 Diabetes skyrocketed between 1994 and 2002 and has gone up. Billions of dollars are going toward these individuals who require medical treatment that paid a dollar for a meal with questionable ingredients. We as a nations must become more self aware of the medical repercussions of the fast-food enterprise.
