In David Zinczenco's "Don't blame the eater" he describes how the fast-food industry is not putting any nutritional labels on their products, how the healthcare for diabetes is on the rise,if the parents are to blame, and how the consumer should know what they are about to intake before they do. He goes after the fast-food restaurants who don't have all of their information out so everyone can see. The author gave us an example of a 150 calorie salad, that is of course just the salad the fast-food restaurant did not mention the 250 calorie dressing,the almonds and noodles which are an additional 190 calories and also your large coke which should add on another 350 calories. 

I chose this article because this topic has always been one of interest. I always hear about how bad the fast-food corporation is yet nothing has been done to put an end to the restaurants that sell us 1000 calorie hamburgers. Many health problems develop later in life for many of the consumers and nothing is being done about that. Because I am majoring in physical education I love to read about this stuff. It never gets boring, I love to read the new stories about what is being done to the fast-food corporations. I see many teenagers go to mcdonalds everyday and I've done it too, back in my freshmen year of high school I would go to mcdonalds everyday with a bunch of my friends. The main reason why we went there is because its a lot more affordable than anywhere else. That is the reason why many people purchase fast-food. Its made quick and its affordable. As long as the prices stay low the fast-food corporation will still be on the rise while the health of many will slowly decline.

"Warrior"

In this film we have two brothers who were torn apart by their father's selfish behavior. One of them decides to leave with the mother while the older brother being played by Joel Edgerton makes the decision to stay with the father and his girlfriend who eventually becomes his wife. The older brother who, in this film goes by the name of Brendon has trouble paying the bills for his house and is in such a hole that he returns to the ring as an MMA (mixed-martial arts) fighter. This decision gets him suspended from his job as a school teacher without pay. With the house in jeopardy he decides to enter a tournament with the grand prize being 5 million dollars. The younger brother who goes by the name of Tommy and is being played by Tom Hardy joins the marines at a young age and when his best friend gets killed in a friendly fire incident he decides to go AWOL (absence without leave). He decides to stay with his father once he returns home. Tommy promises his fallen brothers family that he will do whatever it takes to help them out and being a former MMA icon he finds a way to enter the exact same tournament as his older brother whom he hasn't seen in years.

To many audiences this is just another fighting movie, but once you watch this film you will agree that it is much more than that as there are many twists and turns to go along with an amazing plot. The movie focuses on the torn relationship between the two brothers and the father who desperately seeks their forgiveness after many years of alcoholism and abuse.
