In his piece “Bad Food? Tax It” which was published in the New York Times on July 24, 2011, Mark Bittman presents his proposal for the problem of unhealthy food and its impacts on society. Bittman is an “optimistic” food expert and columnist, as he describes himself, who has been writing about food for over 30 years in the New York Times and some other magazines (------). He presents his suggestion for both the government to take it in consideration and for public to think deeply about it and try to accept it. Bittman asks for changes on the national level and discusses the problem from social and economic perspectives.
In his paper, Mark Bittman clearly states his thesis, which is a little summary of his suggestion, after he introduces the problem of bad and its horrible impacts in three or four paragraphs. Bittman presents his proposal gradually and develops it point by point using different types of arguments and assumptions with connecting all the points back to his thesis. He also keeps consistently addressing the alternative views and responds to them whenever he gets a chance to do so.
