Quiz 3, Question 2

I recently read another article entitled, Why Diets Make You Fatter -- And What to Do About It. Just like the first article I wrote about, this article has conflicting views as well when looked at through a political economy approach and then a cultural studies approach. This article was not about the Superbowl however and was instead about dieting, and how they always end up failing. If you look at this failure from the political economy approach, one might think that they fail because it is easier and cheaper to get fattier foods. Meanwhile when looked from the cultural studies approach, one might think that diets fail so much because it is socially acceptable to eat those types of food and be a little chunkier. Once again, this article shows the differences between these two approaches.
