Insights from reading the new document

The new document that I read was all about crash dieting. I found it very interesting that most people are oblivious to the fact that crash dieting can have many bad side effects. Just like any diet, crash dieting can have its benefits and it can also have its downfalls. One thing that it emphasized was the point that people do this kind of diet without knowing what they are getting themselves into. They simply want to shed pounds quickly and lose sight of how dangerous it really can be.

From reading this document I have discovered new connections that I can make with Kellogg’s Document from his era. Kellogg discussed in his book, The Natural Diet of Man, how people often do not know what is best for them in order to achieve a healthy lifestyle. He makes it clear that most people do not take the time to learn about the affects of how they choose to eat. In the same way we can make connections to the ways in which people live in today’s society. When we compare the two different eras, we can see that things really have not changed much at all.

People are still determined to lose weight fast but in reality they should be concerned with how they can better themselves throughout their entire lives. Kellogg was a huge supporter of the vegetarianism lifestyle. He believed that if people focused their efforts on being committed to this diet, they would feel better about themselves over-all.  The problem is that people tend to lose sight of what is good for their bodies when they are so focused on losing weight as fast as possible. Crash diets are one of the many unhealthy diets that people have created. Just like some people might agree strongly with Kellogg and his views on vegetarianism, others may agree strongly with other ways of dieting. However, Kellogg’s views are still out in the world we live in today.
