In The Natural Diet of Man, Kellogg believes that if men are taught on what good dieting choices are, they then can create more wholesome diets for themselves.
As any one will go sharing rabbits or slaughtering lambs may learn; and he will be regarded as a benefactor of his race who shall teach man to confine himself to a more innocent and wholesome diet...I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals. (Kellogg 256)
Kellogg gave people the benefit of doubt and stated that he thought that people were constantly improving in their dieting choices. Half of what Kellogg said is true. Some people in today’s society have improved their ways in which they diet. However in the How Crash Diets, like the Master Cleanse, Harm your Health and Heart document, it emphasizes the ways in which many people of today’s generation have formed unhealthy diets due to many factors.Example #2:
Linda Bacon emphasizes the risk of these diets in the new document. “They go on fasts, yo-yo diets, detox programs, and ‘cleanses’ without realizing that there are serious consequences to weight loss and nutrient restriction” (Bacon, 3). She highlights that fact that when one goes on these types of diets there are many unhealthy outcomes. Body image pressures were not an integral part of everyday lives a century ago. Perhaps people from today’s generation can heed good sound advice from Kellogg’s works and realize lifelong dieting habits are best for our health.

Remember to put quotations around your first quote. Other than that, everything looks good, but maybe try to put some signal phrases in before stating the quote.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a good job on following the format on integrating the sources. One thing that I would say is that in your second example the part of the body image doesn't really fit in well with the other stuff your talking about.
