Sifferlin, Alexandra, and Alexandra Sifferlin. "Hungry in America: Documentary Exposes the Growing Problem of Starvation Amid Plenty | TIME.com." Time. Time. Web. 21 June 2015. This article describes many causes of hunger and unhealthy eating habits in the United States that explored in documentary “A Place at the Table”. The author explains that poverty is one of the major contributing factors of obesity because poor families cannot provide healthier meals. I will use this article to support the opposition to Bittman’s right that he assumes way too many things about food deserts. For example, that people in food deserts have a way of transportation to healthy supermarket and grocery stores that they simply choose fast food instead of cooking. Which Sifferlin exposes is not true.

healthier foods more affordable. Actually, will be the only way to end obesity. I will use this article to support the case that Bittman does not consider food deserts and individuals that inhabit them when he is arguing that individuals can simply go to the market to buy healthy, affordable food to cook themselves as they can to a fast food restaurant. In his article, the author describes why this is not the case in light of the fact that he really recognizes food deserts and how they are at a great disadvantage contrary to what Bittman believes.

I am going to use this article to go against Bittman's principle claim that cooking will end obesity. Matcher gives a more convincing contention in regards to healthier fast food being a more realistic option than all Americans starting to cook their own meals.
FREEDMAN, DAVID H. "How Junk Food Can End Obesity. (Cover Story)." Atlantic 312.1 (2013): 68-89. Academic Search Complete. Web. 21 June 2015. In this article, Freedman introduces his own case that junk food, in opposition to what Bittman believes, and is the response to the question of how to end obesity because it has not so necessarily been proven that the handling of it is terrible for individuals or that it is connected to obesity.
He argues, rather, that "wholesome" foods can be just as caloric or fattening as fast food and that the main moderate solution for consummation the obesity epidemic involves the fast food industry making some changes to its ingredients and menu to become somewhat healthier. I will use the evidence of this article to support the objection to Bittman's article that obesity will end if individuals stop to eat fast foods because Freedman show up how this is an unlikely approach that is not reasonable or double for all
Americans.
