4. Frame every Quote: Susan Bordo writes about women and dieting. “Fuji I just one example. Until television was introduced in 1995 the island had no reported cases of eating disorders. In 1998, three years after programs from the United States and Britain began broadcasting there 62% of the girls surveyed reported dieting. I think Bordo is right. Another point…..

5. The feminist philosopher Susan Bordo deplores Western media’s obsession with female thinness and dieting. Her basic complaint is that increasing numbers of women across the globe are being led to see themselves as fat and in need of a diet. Citing the island of Fuji as a case point, Bordo notes, “Until television was introduced in 1995 the island had no reported cases of eating disorders. In 1998, three years after programs from the United States and Britain began broadcasting there 62% of the girls surveyed reported dieting: (149-150). Bordo’s point of view is that the Western cult of dieting is spreading to remote places across the globe. Ultimately, Bordo complains that the culture of dieting will find you, regardless of where you live. Bordo’s observations ring true to me because most women I know, regardless of where they are from are seriously unhappy with their weight.

6. Acids harm enamel, which is what makes your teeth hard like bone. Once enamel decays, it doesn’t come back, for the human body lacks the ability to repair lost enamel. Anthony Fraunhofer also states, “The presence of these polybasic acids in beverages is important because their ability to chelate calcium at higher pHs means that they can be very erosive to dental enamel” (von 308). Anthony basically says that with these acids in our soft drinks our enamel is slowing deteriorating with every sip.

7. Proteins are essential for the human body. According to Medical News Today, a protein is a large molecule consisting of amino acids which our bodies and cells need to function properly. One way protein is used by the human body is during the process of repairing damaged tissue after physical activity. The “process of muscle repair depends on the availability of proteins” (Eating Healthy). The process of rebuilding damaged tissue begins when “cells accumulate in the damaged area.… As the number of cells increase, they grow together to create a new muscle fiber, or they can attach to a damaged muscle fiber... resulting in a renewed muscle protein in the injured tissue as well as brand-new muscle cells” (Eating Healthy). The amount of protein necessary for the body to heal itself can be consumed through an individual’s diet.
