David Z: Hello Radley, I
have read your article
Radley B: Good afternoon
David, It seems we both have different view regarding obesity
David Z: Indeed we do
Radley B: You believe
that we should help obesity, by changing around the fast food industries.
David Z: And you believe
that people should just help themselves.
Radley B: Yes, if we or
the government, kept helping the people they will never learn to do thing on
their own.
Radley B: There is such
thing as “parenting”. The parents should know that the food is bad for their
kids, and should not feed them fast food so often, because they’re lazy.
David Z: But some
families cannot be helped like my situation.
Radley B: How many of the
kids in our country have your situation though, David.
Radley B: And nowadays,
schools have come out to serve both lunch and dinner for free, for children
with circumstances like yours.
David Z: I still believe,
however that the pricing and the advertisement can’t be helped and they are
lured in to buying fast foods.
Radley B: A big mac meal
costs around 8$. An average cost to make dinner is around 30$ for 4 people. If
you do the math it is cheaper to make your own food. It had that people are so
dependent on health insurance and government doing stuff for them that, they
stopped caring about their own responsibilities David.
David Z: I see what
you’re saying. I will take your opions in to account.
I Say: I agree to parts of what Radlet B. says. I think people/Parents should stop being lazy and start taking care of their own/child's health.
I don't necessary agree with you calling the parents as being lazy but, after reading your dialogue, your argument is logical but we must agree to disagree. Sometimes parents are working more than one job and don't have the time to make dinner. Also, if the parents is in that kind of financial struggle, they will be more worried about being able to make the monthly rent and bills. It is more critical that the child has a home to live in and if that means the parent can only afford to buy fast-food, it may be worth the risk. I would like to presume that parents do care for their child's health and they should encourage the child to exercise more.
