C'mon. That's gross. You know, I know, we all know eating McDonald's three times a day is just not good for you. Haven't you seen Supersize Me? No thanks. Eating a cookie, a bag of chips, and some chocolate milk for lunch before going home and laying on the couch watching TV isn't good either. A lifestyle change is something people across the world, but especially in America, which has one of the highest rates of obesity, need to consider.
Everyone knows that they need to eat healthy and exercise, so why don't more people do so? I mean, I get it. I love ice cream and could easily eat a container myself. Fast food is something I do enjoy...but only on occassion. I'd indulge in as much junk food as the next person but a line has to be drawn somewhere. Yes! Eat that pizza when you go out with your friends, grab McDonald's after a late away game, there's nothing wrong with that but Americans need to realize that everything must be done or consumed in moderation.
I think that while there is great comfort and relief in eating most foods and taking the day off of exercising every once in a while is a great thing that everyone should get to do but shouldn't live on a daily basis. Someone who chooses to eat a fatty cheeseburger and a bottle of Coke every night for dinner should probably learn to hit the gym the next day to avoid the unappealing, impeeding tummy that would soon grow due to the unhealthy choices.
Being healthy is such a beneficial quality and its worth the extra work and less junk food. Doesn't everyone want to feel more energized and look healthier? Maybe try a new sport or be able to be a little more competitive in physical activities? Yeah, nobody wants to eat rabbit food and live on a treadmill but everybody wants to achieve a higher self esteem and feel more confident about themselves. No one will make fun of someone that is trying to make a positive change in their life and by making a lifestyle change, others may follow suit.
i like how in your post you missed your feelings toward the subject with how other people are thinking. I found it connectable that way because it seemed to flow like a conversation would which i liked because it draws the reader in. You really persuade me and make me want to take action. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI really love how relatable your blog is. Almost everyone can relate to it in some way. Also, I think you did a really great job mixing up your sentence structure. You have a bunch of rhetorical questions, along with a combination of short and long sentences. You also did an excellent job in sympathizing with the opposing view without taking anything away from your main argument. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job Laura. Your blog definitely has a very powerful statement that you were able to communicate very well. One thing that stood out to me specifically was your diction. It was not serious and straight, but kind of casual and reprimanding. Almost like a mother scolding her child. This causes the reader to feel guilt about the topic at hand and take your side on it. Most effective!
