Summary Of Marion Nestle's The Supermarket: Prime Real Estate

Food, either healthy or unhealthy, is a vital part of everyone’s lives; survival would be impossible without it. In April of 2013, Mark Bittman informs his audience through the article “Fast, Good and Good for You” of the development of healthy choices in fast food. This New York Times journalist argues that fast food should be real food, persuading the audience and owners of fast food chains that healthy is the best option. The argument made in Mark Bittman's "Fast, Good and Good for You" is effective due to his accurate use of Aristotelian appeals such as ethos, logos, and Kairos, and his excellent use of rhetorical devices.

In her article "Enormous Box Stores Are Bad for Main Street," Betsy Taylor concentrates not on the financial impacts of expansive chain stores yet on the impacts these stores have on the "spirit" of America. She contends that stores like Home Depot, Target, and Wal-Mart are terrible for America in light of the fact that they draw individuals out of downtown shopping regions and reason them to concentrate only on utilization. Conversely, she trusts that little organizations are useful for America in light of the fact that they give individual consideration, foster group cooperation, and make every city one of a kind. In any case, Taylor's contention is eventually unconvincing in light of the fact that it depends on wistfulness—on glorified pictures

Chaloupka also agrees with these articles by notifying that the price of a calorie is cheaper in unhealthy foods. One possible solution that these authors propose is simply to lower the price of healthy foods or raise the price of unhealthy foods. Unlike Peralta and Grabmeier, Powell and Chaloupka also link obesity to tobacco use.

In the article “The Fat Tax,” Jonathan Rauch ironically discusses the new public policy concern with obesity. Although the article is a satire, it’s economic analysis is actually valid. In order to get his point across, Rauch uses sarcasm, appeals to logos, and degrades the issue of obesity to help Americans better understand the “big picture.” Moreover, if the diet of American consumers does not change then maybe advertising more exercise to lose weight will cut down the obesity rate; but to be just as effective, enacting the fat tax will improve health as well.

In “What You Eat Is Your Business,” Radley Balko tackles the issue of who is responsible for fighting obesity. Balko argues that the controversy of obesity should make the individual consumers culpable for their own health and not the government (467). As health insurers refrain from increasing premiums for obese and overweight patients, there is a decrease in motivation to keep a healthy lifestyle (Balko 467). As a result, Balko claims these manipulations make the public accountable for everyone else 's health rather than their own (467). Balko continues to discuss the ways to fix the issue such as insurance companies penalizing consumers who make unhealthy food choices and rewarding good ones (468).

In Orbach’s essay, she says that women who are obese should not be looked down on as if they have no morals, but should be seen, as women taking a stand of independence against the way the world thinks American women need to look. In the beginning of her essay she sets the bases of her argument about women’s obesity in the United States, aiming her awareness mainly to other women. She talks about the obesity problem with American women, the emotional results of compulsive eating, and talks about the main views on the causes of obesity. Once she established the bases of her argument she goes on to say that the way a feminist might explain women’s obesity is by claiming that being fat is a sign of independence.
