The majority of people today are not well informed about healthy choices, but, more importantly, are not well informed about the unhealthy nature of their daily diet. Can we blame the consumer for taking advantage of products that are presented to them and which may seem completely harmless? Nowadays, people are unable to take a food and understand the nutritional data easily. The packaging and advertising are cryptic and very misleading. In most cases, when dining out, calorie information is only available upon request (Zinczenko 392). Zinczenko points out that the food industry isn't helping itself with this statement: “I would say the industry is vulnerable. “Fast food companies are marketing to children a product with proven health risks and no warning labels” (393). By blurring the effect on the human body of these products that many food companies distribute, the companies open themselves up to lawsuits, as Zinczenko's Don't Blame the Eater describes. A combination of many factors puts the public at higher risk of obesity. Like Zinczenko, Obama says misleading information, nonexistent nutritious family meals and the availability of high-calorie snacks at the local convenience store have created "a lifestyle that condemns too many of our children to lives of poor health and undermines our best." potential ". efforts to build a better future for them” (424). Both Zinczenko and Obama appear focused and interested in children's health. Explaining that with the example of their parents, children can easily lead healthy and beneficial lives or just as easily inherit habits from their parents that increase the likelihood of unhealthy behaviors.
