Inadequate Food Knowledge Discussion Essay
Help me study for my Social Science class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.
For Module 2, you engaged with two arguments (Beyond Food w/the Hepworth review, Ludwig) that relate to the arguments from Module 1 and early in Module 2 (Kirshenbaum & Buhler, and Taubes) on diet, exercise and health and crossing various genres. The issues are curious since an individualistic self-sufficient culture like America’s should not have epidemics like obesity. All of these arguments are consistent with our common underlying assumptions of American cultural individualism, which implies personal responsibility. However, Beyond Food makes a bold claim that the new methods for health embrace collective well-being and individualized health. How reasonable is it to mesh the individual with the collective in our society?

Kirshenbaum and Buhler, in “Americans are Confused. . .,” insist that Americans are “disengaged or misinformed about food,” setting a problematic course for individual health as well as “our collective future” (2). They call for more scientific expertise to guide the public health discussion in order to combat misinformation and food advocacy groups. Taubes also reacts to dietary misinformation in “What Really Makes Us Fat,” by celebrating how Dr. David Ludwig’s study could shift the obesity conversation towards critiquing the “conventional wisdom” of “a calorie is a calorie.” In “Lifespan weighed down by diet,” Dr. David Ludwig also derides the official “calorie is a calorie” mantra for “exonerating the food industry” (6) from the “looming social and economic catastrophe” (2) to our collective well-being.
Which argument (Beyond Food, Kirshenbaum & Buhler, Taubes, or Ludwig) do you evaluate as being most effective for persuading the intended audience?
Prompt: Construct an essay in which you analyze (audience, development, rhetorical strategies/devices, appeals, purpose, underlying assumption, power verbs) and evaluate one claim in Beyond Food. Choose from the claims by the biohackers, raw food advocates, paleo/raw advocates, forager, rancher, or composter). Select a section that (in)directly relates to the underlying assumption about individualized health and collective well-being. Compare or contrast this assumption to the way it relates to one of the arguments by Kishenbaum & Buhler, Taubes, or Ludwig.
For example:
***Kirshenbaum and Buhler blame inadequate food knowledge on the voluminous noise in the marketplace, risking individual, and by extension, public health. Their solution is to elevate the contribution of science to the public health conversation, which, so far, has favored GMO solutions for solving global starvation. An assumption from the 1960’s [science based] “conventional wisdom” encouraging “low-fat, carbohydrate rich diets” (8) is criticized by Taubes. By Taubes’ logic, anyone following this diet has been subjected to the “mainstream disinformation” rallied against in Beyond Health, but it was originally intended to improve “collective well-being.” Ludwig laments “the confluence of uncertain science and special interests” (6) for a food system that wrongly just blames obesity on the individual, who has likely been adhering to public health notions like “a calorie is a calorie.” Ludwig calls for policy that will prioritize collective health.***
Evaluate which of your two arguments (Beyond Food section or one by K&B/T/L) is more effective at persuading the intended audience and why.
Where to start brainstorming: Decide what claim from Beyond Food you want to analyze and evaluate. Then choose an argument by K&B/T/L to evaluate in comparison to Beyond Food. Analyze the rhetorical strategies for your Beyond Food claim, and add a focus to the part you will use to discuss an underlying assumption regarding individualized health and collective well-being.
Your main claim may be as simple as:
“In this essay, I will analyze and evaluate one claim in Beyond Food, and I will briefly analyze then evaluate an argument by K&B/T/L, whose underlying assumption aligns/conflicts with that in Beyond Food.”
