Part 3, Omnivore’s Dilemma

While the author is much interested in mentioning the read, his argument does not seem to augur well with what he preaches. Most of his writings were pointing away from the bread. However, he tends to preach more the meat and actually goes to actualize the meat diet just as Atkins diet recommends. However, personally am a fan of the Atkins meat diet, I must admit that I do not know how it works. For example, i fear that the Atkins diet only recommends taking meat but does not convince one on the reasons for the preference. The argument that of one takes only eat and no pasta or read, one is likely to lose weight. I think the argument is that the pasta and bread only add up to carbohydrates.

The Atkins diet suggest eating meat only and no bread, I think there is a lot of other risk associated with a lot of protein. Dr Robert C. Atkins may have , have invented the Atkins diet, nut I must question how it happens that people still prefer taking sliming pill or other fad diets. Though this may be the best diet, it does not make sense because; people need energy as source of energy boosters. Fat and sugar and sources of energy, but the Atkins diet fails to recommend them. Perhaps the argument fails to consider the fact that carbohydrates are not the main cause of weight gain

There are many types of foods that people think contribute to the overweight, this feeling is true but it is just how much and how often one takes them. For example, fast foods contributes significantly to overweight especially if one consumes them more often and on a daily basis; on the other hand, irregular consumption of fast foods do not have much effect on the body as fast as weight gain is concerned, it is just important to consider consuming recommended quantity of such foods. Based on the above argument, it is healthy to argue that the omnivores argument is wrong as not all foods contraindicated by the omnivores are bad. In fact, all those foods have well for health and they contribute to a healthy you. It is also imperative to note that the countries that the omnivores argue to have a positive diet have overweight people, and if the omnivores thinks slimmer is healthy, I am a little confused because that is not what healthy means

Having read Rousseau’s, a lot seems to be misplaced because the information does not add u at all. For example, most of the works are borrowed from other texts and this does make Rousseau an expert. Additionally, his argument is not sounding like those of an expert. Rousseau, introduces the consumption of mushroom and does not come clean where mushroom fits in. for one, he mushroom is a vegetable that is relatively harmless but harmful if the wrong specie is taken. The fact that most of the text in these books does not make them authors because nothing in these books are original content but other people works. This only makes their work vague. There is also the feeling that their work is mainly commercial because there is a lot of reference to the availability of the foods in supermarkets. This may be marketing gimmick. There are many mistakes in ignorance, for example, people tend to each whatever they come across without knowing the consequences of their diets and this may not be easy to change considering that, they are ignorant. People will easily eat what they want as long as they can afford these foods. It is just ingrained in the mind of people to eat what they desire and this may not be easy to change

As the supermarket is Commercial entities, they are much into business and are focused on profitability. Most supermarket are only sell the products brought by their suppliers are may not be interested in knowing how their foods contribute to the health of their customers. Therefore, it is the duty of the customers to determine the nutritional contents of the foods that the supermarkets sell to them. The customer needs to take responsible for their health. It is advisable for the consumers to realize that there are also consequences related to the foods they consume. For example, these who prefer eating lot of meat and those whom prefer not to take meat are better be careful for as the alternative foods that they eat may have impact on their lives

Should be responsible for the consequences of eating a fad diet.

Conclusion

Food is important for life but the right diet is important for health, therefore, it is important for people to know the dietary value of the foods that they consume. Additionally, fast foods are relatively harmful for health depending on the frequency and the quantity of food consumed. The Atkins diet of meat only is good but there are consequence related to lack of carbohydrates in the diet, therefore Atkins diet is not advisable.
