In the article "Don’t blame the eater" written by Zinczenko, he argues that fast food is the main reason why so many teenagers are suffering from obesity in United States. He explains that many companies will use advertisements to deceive customers. For example, a company’s website offers a chicken salad with less than four hundred calories per serving; however, they don’t label everything that the salad has In the first label. They will use separate labels in the products that the salad has on it, so the costumer gets confused and thinks that he is actually eating a four hundred calories salad that is "healthy". However, he is actually eating a seven or more hundred calories meal.
Consequently, most consumers know that restaurants like McDonald’s and Burger King are unhealthy. Arguably, the consumer doesn 't even need to read the nutrition

One of the ratios impacted by the new store would be profit margin ratio. This ratio measures net income earned with each dollar made in sales, so this ratio can either increase or decrease depending if the store is profitable or not. The ROA will measure how efficient all the assets are being use to make a higher profit for 365. ROE will calculate how much profit is made from the investment of the shareholders, which is needed for the construction of the stores. The current ratio will show the liquidity of the company and how fast they will be able to pay their debt encounter during the expansion.
He goes on to say “Complicating the lack of alternatives is the lack of information about what, exactly, we’re consuming” (197). He says there are no nutritional calorie charts on fast food packages, the way they are on grocery items. Most readers would instantly understand that statement, but Zinczenko hammers it home with an example of complicated calorie facts. He shows how fast food restaurants make their calorie information complicated by splitting up different parts of the meal. (198).
Don’t judge a book by it's cover People always say, “Don't judge a book by it's cover.”. But do we really listen? Do we try and get to know people, or do we ignore what we know is right? In the novel, Define Normal, written by Julie Anne Peters, the stereotypes developed to teach the reader to not judge a book by it's cover. Quotes from the story show how people stereotype Jazz.
Most americans are not even aware of the harm that they are doing to their bodies most are just trying to get a quick bite to eat so they can avoid cooking or eating leftovers from the night before. The question should not be, “does fast food deserve a warning label?” it should be, “how many labels should there be on fast
“As a culture, we no longer discuss healthy eating without also discussing unhealthy weights…eating too much-often without any parallel warnings against eating too little…overeating constitutes ‘the greatest threat’ to our survival” (Maxfield 444). The main point in both of these articles that both authors agree with is the fact that people don’t add up all their calories they eat daily, which should be less than or equal to 3500 calories. When you go to a fast food restaurant, usually a normal “healthy” person would get a salad, large drink, and a side item like fries; this normally doesn’t seem like a lot of calories, but then you add the dressing and this healthy lunch turns out becoming an unhealthy 1700 calories already in one meal. Not only is fast food a lot of calories, but it is really cheap too, and most people spend their money on this instead of eating healthy and spending more money. “Americans spend less than 10 percent of their income on food; they also spend less than a half hour a day preparing meals and little more than an hour enjoying them” (Pollan 439).
(Freedman, 526) Even though Freedman is asking a question, his point is that there must be a reason McDonald’s isn’t saying anything when they are faced with criticism. Freedman is surely right eaters are less willing to try something healthy when they know it’s healthy because of what studies suggest. Freedman himself writes, “Recent studies suggest that calorie counts placed on menus have a negligible effect on food choices, and that the less-health-conscious might even use the information to steer clear of low calorie fare . . . ” (Freedman, 527).
In the article, “Don’t Blame the Eater,” David Zinczenko argues it is the fast food industry’s fault for the nation 's growing obesity epidemic. Furthermore, he believes people should not be blamed for their own obesity. Zinczenko argues fast-food is much more available to the fast paced lifestyle people live in rather than consuming healthy alternatives. He also discusses the fact so many people are on a low budget, it is then best and more inexpensive for them to consume fast-food. Zinczenko states a claim that the fast-food industry “would do well to protect themselves, and their customers, by providing the nutrition information people need” (Zinczenko 464).

The average calories for a meal is around five hundred to six hundred fifty. Most college students get more than one item from Costco, which exceeds the calorie intake for one meal. For most college students, we don't tend to look at the calories or nutrition to be a big part of any of our meals. For me, I see the calories on the board below all of the foods; but I just look at it for fun and nothing more. Although Costco has great foods most of the food lack the nutrition needed for a college students’ body.
Reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel drastically influenced my view on life. The horrendous depictions of life during the holocaust era described by Elie was traumatizing. Reading each line in the book gave me goosebumps. Imaging that a time era in which jews were oppressed to that of a gruesome extent is beyond conceivable. The book allowed me to reassess my life.
The numbers were alarming: eating out was associated with taking in as many as 160 extra calories daily for younger kids and as many as 310 calories daily for teens" (Godman). In addition to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention findings, Heidi Godman shows how obesity rates have rapidly increased by eating out at fast food resturants instead of eating a low calorie home cooked
Should Fast foods have warning labels? From the skyrocketing obesity crisis to convenience, it's time to put warning labels on fast food. In May 1988, Canada passed the Tobacco Sales to Young Persons Act; this act required tobacco companies to put warnings labels such as; “smoking increases the risk of lung cancer” or “smoking during pregnancy can harm the baby” on their packaging. The same should happen to all fast-foods, fast-foods should have warning labels on them warning potential customers about their dangerous hazards.
