A Rhetorical Analysis Of Don 'T Blame The Eater' By

I believe that out of the four essays that we have read, the essay that present the best and most powerful argument is “Don’t Blame the Eater by David Zinczenko.

Without such warnings, we’ll see more sick, obese children and more angry, litigious parents. I say, let the deep-fried chips fall where they may” (Zinczenko, 2015,
