Question

Balko makes his own position about the so-called obesity crisis very clear, but does he consider any of the objections that might be offered to his position? If so, how does he deal with those objections? If not, what objections might he have raised?

Answer 1

Your question is incomplete. You failed to clarify that the question refers to the text: What You Eat is Your Business by Radley Balko.

Answer:

Balko makes it very clear that government intervention in the way it does is not the best way to combat obesity. He does not consider any of the objections provided and his way of combating them is by pointing out everything that is wrong.

Explanation:

As soon as his text begins, Balko already criticizes the presenter of the program, whom he does not believe is appropriate to present a program against obesity when he was previously in a program that was not against that.

Of all the good options the government offers, he just believes that it is just one way to put the government between the people and their weight.

He also believes that the way they act is the wrong way to fight obesity. He thinks that the best way would be for the State to encourage people to be more responsible instead of forcing them.

He criticizes "private health" and believes that people care less and less about their health and more about that of others.
