1)I disagree with David Zinczenko's agrument. I think that there are inexpensive and convenient alternatives to not eating fast food. One example is at Taco Bell a plain bean and cheese burrito has 390 calories in it and if you order a 20 oz drink (Pepsi) i is another 567 calories. There is also the sauce that everyone loves which each packet is 7 calories. This fast Taco Bell outing has now added up to be 964 calories. The healthier alternative to this is that when you go on your regular grocery shopping outing you buy things to make a bean and cheese burrito. A tortilla (6 inches) is 110 calories, a whole can of beans is 90 calories per serving, cheese is 104 calories, and you can switch your pepsi for water. This inexpensive and easy meal adds up to be around 304 calories. This is a step to getting the fast food out and the healthy in. This point can also be used with many other types of food including burgers, tacos, and chicken sandwiches. You are able to buy more of something at the grocery store and make a much more healthier alternative. Many people should buy the ingrediants for something and make it rather than buying fast food.
2)I believe that being overweight can be a genuine medical problem because companies are failing to show us the nutritional values on such products as David Zinczenko said. Peoples medical issues have risen in quite a short amount of time and its because of what have believed is right to eat. These issues are always going to be in place until we resolve the issue which won't happen because of the society now a days. Obesity is a health problem and we need to try and take the steps to avoid this being a bigger problem than it already is.
3) Compare: These essays are talking about the topic of fast food but they have different meanings and approaches. The first one is talking about your opinion and proving the point on why this is your opinion. The second is trying to inform people that your opinion is the correct one. They are similar but different at the same time.
I agree with you on the first essay that we don't need to eat at a fast food restaurant, we can make our own meal our selves. I also agree on your second essay stating it is the companies fault that they are not posting nutritional values on each project. Overall good job!
ReplyDeleteTrin,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you used prices and calorie numbers to prove it is easy to have a cheap and healthy meal. I also enjoyed your second essay in how you addressed obesity as a health problem. Great Job!
