Chapter 10 Question 2

Wootan and Liodice are having different perspectives on the topic of regulating food advertising to children. Wootan states that the rates of obesity have doubled in children and tripled in teens. He believes the guidelines will be helpful to improve children’s diets. However, I think that will be doing too much to restrict what to eat for children. In Liodice’s opinions, he states in the first sentence in the article that free speech is the most important right in America. Thus, free speech is the basis of choice and personal responsibility. The guidelines gives him a feeling of compel which means that will be lack of freedom once the guidelines is being addressed. After reading both perspectives base on the diet, I stand on Liodice’s side because he gives out sufficient reasoning and valid information to support his point. I think Liodice makes a better argument especially because he claims clearly about the freedom of speech in the beginning of the article.
