The Reasons Cause the Eating Disorder

         In the article “Our National Eating Disorder”, the author Pollan talks about what cause the national eating disorder. In order to illustrate his idea he gives us two reasons. In the article he claims that “A scientific study, a new government guideline, a lone crackpot with a medical degree can alter this nation’s diet overnight”, so we see the government can influence people’s eating habits. Although the government guideline is based on some data, but obviously this is not good for everyone. So when you fellow the government’s guideline but not considering your own habit, then the eating disorder may occur. The other reason is the food from outside of the country. America is a nation of immigrants, so there are a lot of different cultures which means different kinds of food. Then whatever kind of food the American have is not strange.

         The interesting part for me is the second reason cause the eating disorder. In my last essay I also talks about almost the same thing. I think the immigrants and other countries’ food can not only cause the eating disorder, but also may change a country’s whole food culture. As the developing of transportation, our world is becoming smaller and smaller. The new can eat different kinds of food only stay in one place. That is why I think the second point from the author is interesting.
