Remember Jared Fogle. He lost weight on the Subway diet and cashed in big with a TV contract. A few years went by, and a clever young woman named Christine Dougherty wrote a letter to Taco Bell with her story about losing 54 pounds on her Taco Bell Drive-Thru Diet. Before you can say "nachos del grande" she's all over TV showing off her svelte body, the result, we are supposed to infer, of the young woman replacing her higher fat and calorie tacos and burritos with the "Mexican" fast food chain's slimmed down Fresco Menu versions. What's next?
Jon Gabriel also addresses his experience with his weight loss journey and the changes he made in his life.

However, even though E. Coli is being prevented, the beef is glossed with ammonia and other chemicals. This establishes credibility because it relates to people within the audience who may be worried about the processes that foods go through. These chemical processes can affect the healthiness of the beef producers, and in Maria Andrea Gonzalez’s case, the healthiness of food has changed her family. Due to the fact that healthy food is oftentimes more expensive than massively produced unhealthy food, Gonzalez's family often opts for cheeseburgers instead of a head of lettuce at the supermarket in the segment, The Dollar Menu. This is a common interest for many families because of the convenience that fast food brings.

The style of this essay seemed to be very informal from essays I previously had read. Yet, author John DeVore gave it his personal touch. For instance, “Unless we’re talking Taco Bell. Which I will talk about, at length, even if you haven’t asked a question that has anything to do with Taco Bell.” After reading that quote I knew that in his essay he would bring forth his personality.
Eating Healthy Michael Pollan, a health food spokesperson, made some interesting critiques on how he believes that there is an American paradox such as, “a notably unhealthy population preoccupied with… the idea of eating healthy” (Maxfield, 442). The idea taken from Michael Pollan’s quote is that he believes the definition of healthy eating has more to do with how it is “driven by a well-funded corporate machine” (Maxfield, 442). He is also claiming that the food industry is benefiting on our lack of knowledge on how to eat properly when it comes to being healthy.
