The Strawman

Many people agree with bill bryson that junk foods are the cause of obesity in this country,becaus we see fast food establishments on every corner of the street, and we see supermarkest with whole sections just for sugary, high calorie foods. Bill argues that americans have access to limitless amounts of high calorie and sugary foods. He talks about how supermarkets have dozens of different types of cereals, and endless aisles dedicated to quick. tasty food. Now I agree that americans have an issue with junk foods and fast foods, but i dont think all the blame should go on the foods themselves. People actaually have to go and buy the food, and then eat it. It is all about self control.

  1. This is a good start, though your strawman points seems to repeat. (Read the first few sentences.)

    Also, in order to successfully knock down the strawman with your counter-argument, you'll need more explanation and evidence.
