Parents are the main problem”. The letter itself was to the point and remained cohesive in linking its arguments. Murphy’s individual arguments made for a very convincing article, but a major error in the third paragraph serves to sever the connection Murphy was working so hard to create “fat kids become fat adults, and this, by definition, is bad, because fat adults are a menace” this sentence makes Murphy come across as extremely condescending and jeopardizes the rest of the article. Despite this the rest of the article is effective in its opinion in reinforcing Murphy’s
They attack the kids with their vivid language by posting, “All those afraid of the dark, never fear. Cheetos Glow-in-the-Dark trick or treat bags are here.” The Cheeto bag emphasizes on not being afraid of the dark to persuade their consumers that their glowing bag will save the day. The figurative text that describes the product can provide the consumer Since the exciting holiday is coming up, they found a great time to place their new invention. Huffington Post’s recent blog post focused on how Hot Cheetos are now becoming a rising issue in schools. Logos is used throughout this issue because they incorporate facts about Hot Cheetos and its addictive ingredients.
Living in an obese society would promote self acceptance. Schwartz presents how society would differ if it were dominated by overweight people; the obese population would no longer have the struggle to find fitting clothes, competition with jobs, or even struggle with self esteem issues. Bringing the minorities to the top of the food chain could potentially eliminate humiliation and secrecy. Schwartz strongly argues that a fat society would be more ideal for self-acceptance, but disregards the use of logos to support his claim. Logos is the use of logic for further support on a particular subject.
‘Teasing and taunting can terrify vulnerable teenagers.’ Figurative language. Using metaphors, similes or personification to draw a picture in the audience’s mind, for example, ‘This war is a cancer’, ‘like vultures circling over their prey’. ‘Young people may not be angels but nor are they devils with horns and a pointed tail.’ Exaggeration. Overstating a view or statistic to impress the audience, for example, for example, ‘There are thousands of cases where …’ Contrast. Putting two opposing ideas or facts next to each other to show up how different they are, for example, ‘Should we support the tiny groups of protesters or the vast armies of the police?’ Using personal pronouns.
Chips, candy, etc) and fast food. It is very convenient to go through a drive through, call for takeout, or lounge in a restaurant.

Those actions seem all good; nonetheless, in real world, it often ends up the adverse consequences. Most of the time, politicians speak in the benefit of people; yet, in fact, they have a bigger goal to do so: to be popular or to get elected. Because of that reason, everyone should not look at the surface of the issue but dig down inside to see its real nature. Things just may not be the way it seems. It’s like a toxic candy with poison inside but sweet sugar covering outside.
These explanations of obesity are convincing. They fit with existing knowledge about the direct causes of obesity, and simply elaborate on why. Unlike much research, here causality is defined. However, it does suffer from a lack of direct evidence – scientific studies here would be seen as unethical. It is hard to tell which factor is more important – diet or energy expenditure.
In this concept the size zero dream has actually proved to be good for business. It is a well played game with an ongoing cycle. Fast food chains would keep people from losing weight and help them gain more. Media would make people want to lose weight and reach goals that are considered unrealistic for most people. So they refer to the presumably diet versions of products, weight loss products and programs.
Functionalists would argue that obesity is necessary as a part of society. Functionalist's major arguement, after all, is that everything that exists must have a meaning and must be useful towards society as a whole. Perhaps functionalists would argue that by having obese people, we draw attention to problems in health care and obesity might be a key in leaning more about the human psyche, our emotional connection to food and to further explore man's relationship with eating and nourishment. The obese population might inspire others to be healthier and might inform and educate society as a whole about the dangers of obesity and it's overall impact.

As a whole it is all of our responsibility to fight against this epidemic so that we can win the war for our children’s health. Becoming obese is a result of consuming more calories than you burn off with activity.
