Don't Blame the Eater by David Zinczenko

The author of “Don’t Blame the Eater”, David Zinczenko is the editor of Men’s Health magazine and author of numerous health care books. With his essay “Don’t Blame the Eater” Zinczenko wants to emphasize that the real problem of health care as related to obesity is our lack of information. By using controversial information from parents who sued Mc Donald’s industry, Zinczenko wants from us to think that a suite is not the real solution to the problem. Most of us, the author wrote, are neglected by parents in earlier ages and that makes us victims of the fast food industry. Even Zinczenko was one of the children hurt by the fast food industry and for that reason, he understands the problem. When the author grew up and joined the Navy Reserves, he educated himself through reading a health magazine. That magazine opened his eyes to a new nutritious way of living. Many of kids today may not have that option of avoiding obesity lead to related health problems, and they go straight into these fast food restaurants. The result of eating in these restaurants is astonishing, and it is always reflected in additional cost for health care paid by our tax payers. Today, the author wrote, Americans pay a fifty times larger bill for the health care system than forty years ago. The most recent trouble with our choice is disorientation about domain and supply in the market economy. Advertisements by big fast food restaurants have blurred our vision, and even labeling the food packaging does not keep us from consuming it. Also, obesity according to Zinczenko is consequence of people’s lack of awareness when choosing a nutritious low calorie food instead of McDonalds or Burger King. If people think that the author’s advice is not good for them they might be the next plaintiffs against the fast food industry. Zinczenko truly believes that the fast food industry is not responsible for our obesity, the real reason is not making informed choices before we swallow the food.
