Exercise 2 pg 38 disagree

In his article "Don't Blame the Eater", David Zinczenko argues that childeren are overweight because fast food was the only choice for a meal. He tells about the limited eating options for a child whose parents had no time to cook. Because of the lack of inexpensive and convenient food sources, he was forced to eat fast foos. He insists that the lack of alternatives was made worse by the lack of nutrition. Zinczenko states that a seemingly healthy salad, said to have 150 cal., has an additional 190 cal. from the almonds and noodles, not to mention the 280 cal. salad dressing you add later. Zinczenko belives that the lack of quick and healthy eating options are the reasons why people are overweight.

I disagree with Zinczenko in that there are, in fact, a number of convenient, inexpensive, and nutritional resautrants in the market today: Subway, Potbellies, Panera, and Boston Market being a few of them.
