Response to "Our National Eating Disorder"

In the article “Our National Eating Disorder”, the author Pollan tell us that why eating disorder happens in America, and he also talks about who people do not eat healthy. To improve his point of view, he gives out two reasons. First of all, he says that a big problem is because immigration. The United States is a country which combines with many different countries, people from all over the world come here, and of course they like to choose different types of food.  Another reason is that the government sometimes influences people’s choice by making some eating guidelines. Although it may not really help people to choose the healthy food, most people like to believe in it. Just as the author says in the article that:” A scientific study, a new government guideline, a lone crackpot with a medical degree can alter this nation’s diet overnight”. These are the two main reasons why people in America eating disorder.

I am agree with the point that immigrate will cause the eating disorder. I am a Chinese student who studies in America, so, I can easily understand the feeling that people in Asian country feel about American food. The fast food culture in America is really hard for us to accept. So we always choose some Chinese restaurants here to have our dinner. That is also one of the reasons that we are hard to make a foreign friend. This is a point that we should try to improve.
