Instead of just a few hours of cartoons on weekends, there are entire networks devoted to
children's programming. Instead of kickball and jump rope, kids sit motionless, unblinking for
hours clicking, typing and texting away. Fresh fruits and vegetables have gotten more expensive,
while convenience foods have gotten cheaper. And let's be honest sometimes, as parents today,
we are just plain tired. We're working longer hours to make ends meet. We're under more
stress.
Parents
Children
Teachers
Doctors
5) In a speech delivered at the Grocery Manufacturers Association Conference, Michelle Obama
made this claim:
"And we need you not just to tweak around the edges, but to entirely rethink the products that
you're offering, the information that you provide about these products, and how you market
those products to our children.
That starts with revamping or ramping up your efforts to reformulate your products, particularly
those aimed at kids, so that they have less fat, salt, and sugar, and more of the nutrients that
our kids need."
Which of these statements shows an acknowledgement of a counterclaim to her position? (15
points)
"A recent survey by the FDA shows that the vast majority of Americans rely on labels to
help them decide what foods to buy. But we know those labels aren't always as helpful as they
could be. And it's hard enough to figure out whether any one food item is healthy."
"So we need you all to step it up. We all need to step up in this country. This is a shared
responsibility. That's why I've gone to parents and I've asked them to do their part. They have a
responsibility to watch what their kids eat and teach good habits. I've asked medical
professionals to do their part."
"And I understand that this is easier said than done. This doesn't happen overnight. We
all know that human beings—I, for one, know—are hard-wired to crave sugary, fatty, salty
foods. And it is tempting to take advantage of that—to create products that are sweeter, richer,
and saltier than ever before." "But what it doesn't mean is taking out one problematic ingredient, only to replace it
with another. While decreasing fat is certainly a good thing, replacing it with sugar and salt isn't.
And it doesn't mean compensating for high amounts of problematic ingredients with small
amounts of beneficial ones."
6) Consider Michelle Obama's comment to parents on the launch anniversary of the Let's Move
program:
"We know that kids are like little sponges they soak up everything they see and hear, regardless
of where it comes from. They want the gadget they saw at a friend's house, the sugary snacks
they saw on TV. So we know that if we truly want to solve the issue of childhood obesity,
parents can't shoulder this burden alone, and we shouldn't have to."
Which of these statements would provide a possible rebuttal to this statement? (15 points)
"But at the same time, we know that ultimately, we are the ones responsible for what
our kids eat. We're responsible for how much time they spend on the couch with that remote
control. While we might not always feel like it, when it comes to our kids' health and well-being,
we're the ones in charge."
"But doing so doesn't just respond to people's natural inclinations—it also actually helps
to shape them. And this can be particularly dangerous when it comes to our kids, because as all
of you know, as parents, the more of these products they have in their diets, the more
accustomed they become to those tastes, and then the more deeply embedded these foods
become in their eating habits."
"But here's the good news: It can also work the other way around as well. Just as we can
shape our children's preferences for high-calorie, low-nutrient foods—with a lot of persistence,
we can also turn them on to high-quality, healthier foods as well."
But here's the thing—we can build shiny new supermarkets on every block, but we need
those supermarkets to actually provide healthy options at prices people can afford. And we can
insist that our schools serve better food, but we need to actually produce that food.
7) Paraphrase the claim Michelle Obama is making in these remarks from the PHA Building a
Healthier Future Summit: (15 points)
"But we also know that at the end of the day, when it comes to the health of our kids, no one
has a greater impact than each of us do as parents. We know that families play a uniquely
important role in the work that we're all doing. And that's one of the things I want to focus on today—what all of us can do to better empower families who want to make healthy choices for
their kids.
Now, on one level, this seems pretty obvious. I mean, after all, our kids aren't the ones going to
the supermarket or waking up early to make breakfast—at least not in my household.
(Laughter.) And they certainly don't sign themselves up for ballet and basketball clinics at the Y.
That's our job. More than anyone else, we as parents decide what our kids eat, and how active
they are every single day." 8) Write a short counterclaim for the claim Michelle Obama is making in these remarks to the
Grocery Manufacturers Association. (15 points)
But your role in helping address childhood obesity isn't just limited to what you put in your
products and how you label those products for parents. It's also about how you market those
products to our kids. Our kids didn't learn about the latest sweets and snack foods on their own.
They hear about these products from advertisements on TV, the Internet, video games, schools,
many other places. And any parent knows this marketing is really effective.
