¶ … Blame the Eater
Zinczenko (2002) discusses the challenges of the pervasive fast food industry. He begins with a personal story of his own childhood and how he gained a considerable amount of weight, as a child of single parents often left to fend for himself at fast food restaurants. He cites statistics that show an increase in Type 2 diabetes related to obesity. Where diabetes in 1969 was the cause of $2.6 billion in health care costs, by 2002, that number had skyrocketed to $100 billion.
Even supposedly "healthy" choices, Zinczenko (2002) argues, aren't healthy. One fast food establishment offers a 150-calorie chicken salad. However, the almonds and noodles that are listed separately are another 190 calories. Still a healthy choice, until you include the 700 calories in the dressing packet that comes with the salad. Add a super-size soda and the lunch comes to more than half the recommended daily calorie intake. However, Zinczenko fails to recognize the truly healthy options people looking for quick-service have, all at a reasonable price for which fast food restaurants are known.
Today there are numerous fast food options for children, teens and busy adults. Subway is one of the leading fast food restaurants that offer healthy, low-calorie options for diners. They offer seven salads, eight six-inch sub-sandwiches, one flatbread sandwich, and four...
Even the high calorie salad Zinczenko (2002) can be a healthy meal alternative, if the diner uses some discretion with their eating. Simply using the correct portion size of the dressing provided eliminates 420 calories from the meal. Replace the sugar Coke with a bottle of water or a Diet Coke and the meal becomes a healthy, low-calorie, and low-fat alternative.
Zinczenko (2002) fails to recognize the personal responsibility diners have to take not only for their nutritional choices but also their nutritional education. Most people understand that greasy fast food hamburgers are fat laden, high calorie, poor nutritional choices. Most people understand that soda is a high-calorie, sugary unhealthy drink choice. Using this basic knowledge, coupled with a little investigation in the company's posted nutritional information, diners can find a wide variety of fast food choices that are low calorie and healthier options than the traditional fast food fare.
Don't Blame the Eater
Zinczenko (2002) highlights the plight of American eaters who often turn to fast food options, without understanding the truly unhealthy choices they're making. This distressing situation is not only described by Zinczenko's own personal experience with weight gain as a kid, but also with the disturbing statistics that…

Primarily, the company would be forced to implement equal pay practices. If it is to maintain its historical pricing practices, some workers will have to be fired to make up for the consequences of raising the payment for the workers in question. Both men and women would be likely to be fired, which could result in a severely negative workplace atmosphere for the remaining workers. Hostility could for example
Headless chickens describes an organization which is alive, and able to operate and continue to exist, but that has no sense of what it is, or where it's going. By calling itself a headless chicken, the group on the case study of a higher professional education organization correctly identified how it was feeling, but also identified how the organization got to the unfortunate position. Once these two factors are known,
