Omnivores Diemma

In the book Omnivores Dilemma, Americans do not have a food culture. Everyone is so scattered and indecisive that we listen to what ever the media tells us to eat. We base our opinions of what's good and what is healthy on what the TV says, we use that to base our meals. We usually do not know what to eat and we usually do not know which diet is the best. Our decisions come from the ads on TV and how things are set up to catch our eye in the grocery stores. People take the atkains diet is where people are told only to eat meat and no grains or fruit. This is bad because your body is not going to get all the necessary proteins and carbs that it needs to function. But people do not take this into account because they only listen to the results of the diet and they might not even care or think its unhealthy because no one ever mentioned it to them.

This post is interesting, kate, but it seems to me as though you are only regurgitating what was said in the book, not so much responding to the material. I think maybe you should consider a 2nd draft and post additional personal thoughts on the ideas.
