I thought the comparison of the American mentality to flock to an expert to sheep was interesting. It does seem to be true since magazines advocating it are so popular so people must be buying into it. I agree that the health interests borders on obsession and that we are able to decide as individuals our own food culture even if the majority aren't.

I like how you add in some of your personal eating habits. I don't completely agree that all food Americans think is healthy is unhealthy, some of them really are healthy. I think they just focus too much on health and forget about simply enjoying eating and food. Its pretty easy not to since everything is made to be eaten fast. Like microwaved foods and of course McDonald's.

I liked how you give alittle tip to avoid junk food and even go into detail about what some foods are made of.

I thought it was interesting about the menu and the cookies. At the place I'm interning at there are alot of entrepenuers who are doing things like the booth that gave samples of healthier cookies and substitute with ingrediates like agave or stevia or make cookies that are catered to diabetics so I thought that was pretty interesting. As for the menu, I think it is a bit more expensive and maybe they can do what they we're doing to the cookies by making healthier versions of a certain dish, or just offering the choice to eat something else because I agree not everyone wants to eat tofu and meatless sandwiches. To have the choice to eat that is fine, but replacing it altogether with other foods teenagers typically is unrealistic.
