With obesity rates increasing tremendously all across the United States people seem to only be blaming the children or the parents, but there are some that are starting to blame the producer and file lawsuits against them. Children with diabetes was usually caused by a genetic disorder, but 5 percent were Type 2 or obesity related diabetes. This was all before 1994, but today's studies which were done by National Institute of Health has stated that Type 2 diabetes has gone up at least 30 percent. We have also noticed how this has went up at least 30 percent because of money being spent to treat diabetes has increased tremendously. For this reason according to an opinion piece done by David Zinczenko, Americans need to stop blaming the children and parents for Type 2 or obesity diabetes but the producer. Zinczenko also argues that fast food companies need to start sharing some type of nutrition information so that people can make more informed and smart choices for their children or these fast food companies are going to get more lawsuits filed toward them and crumble where they stand once people start to get the hint. Writing in the New York Times opinion section, one of America's most read newspapers, Zinczenko is speaking directly to parents, people with Type 2 diabetes, and the producers in the section, titled "Don't Blame the Eater". He uses his position as a nutrition and wellness editor for the ABC News and knowledge dealing with health and a little bit of emotion to get his audience to listen to what he is saying in and get his message: that maybe it time to stop blaming the children and start with the producers.
In rhetorical terms, Zinczenkos' strongest and most effective appeal would have to be his logical view. Writing to a large audience of parents with children who have Type 2 diabetes, people who are about to be parents, and just people in general. He specifically reaches out to more than half of the US population who would consider themselves parents. I say this because in the first four paragraphs he is primarily talking about children who have diabetes and kids would not really take it as serious as the parents would. The case of the matter is Zinczenko has listed many facts about how rates of diabetes in children and cost to treat this is increasing tremendously over each year. Also, he tells us how you have a more chance of finding one of the 13000 fast food restaurants than you do a healthy organic store. For example, in paragraph nine he list an example of a website for one fast food company how they show the calories of a tray of salad but it shows everything else that comes with that salad is is just adding more calories. This is important because Zinczenko is telling us how the companies are actually showing us all the calories for each food item and all the calories that come with it. But, on the first page we only see how many calories come with the main item. If you want to see how many calories come with all the side items you have to click on an entirely new page.
Zinczenko is very strong and consistent with his logos appeal but he does not just rely on that appeal throughout his whole writing. He also has a very effective appeal of using ethos to show his readers that he in not only copying this straight from the internet and just writing what he sees but he knows what he is saying from his credibility. Zinczenko is the editor of nutrition and wellness for the ABC News. His appearance on a show Dr. Oz which is a great health tv show gives him great credibility. They want his viewpoint on a matter of health because they felt he has better expertise on some topics that they do. He also has much credibility from being the editor-in-chief of Men's Health magazine and editorial director of Women's Health Magazine. These all help to tell the audience about Zinczenko credibility in the health world so he knows what he is talking about.
While Zinczenko is appealing to audience through primarily a logical and ethical viewpoint he still is able to throw in some appeal dealing with a pathological. In paragraph two Zinczenko is saying why he sympathises with them. He says that he use to be just like them and by like them I mean obese. He is saying how when he was younger his mother was always working to provide for him so he had to eat fast food just about everyday for lunch and dinner and since he was a kid he did not really know of the harm that it was doing to him. He states how the things he has done to manage his diet and lose weight but the most of the teenagers who lived as he did stay obese because they see it as being a lifetime thing with them. Zinczenko is also stating how even if teenagers want to eat healthy they would not really even be able to because if they try to drive they have a more chance of seeing one of the 13000 McDonald's restaurants than they do of seeing a health type of store. This is important because some kids do actually try to be healthy but with the fast food places overpowering markets and fast food places being cheaper it is just easier and less work to just eat the fast food.
To conclude, this creative use of rhetoric is the key to this intriguing task Zinczenko has taken on. Which is to start blaming the producer for for the diabetes increase all across America. Instead of just persuading them with logic he persuades them with his emotional connection with children with diabetes since he has once went through something similar to that and credibility from all the health shows he has been on.
