“Helping Hands” by Joe Weider appeared in the Muscle and Fitness issue of March 2003, as an editorial on obesity. In Weider’s view, he says “I have no sympathy for him or her. He or she is overweight because they eat horribly. I’m in shape because I work out and eat well.” Maybe there is better way to eradicate obesity than to tear down those around us who are not as fit as we are. Weider points out that genetics are the one of the reason why people are obese and it not because of a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle; genetic makeup has likely predisposed him or her to a life of obesity. The issue that Weider is trying to get across is that fighting obesity takes all of our efforts.
Weider’s commentary is part of a large problem in the United States currently on obesity. This isn’t to say that obese individuals have no hope and can simply use poor genetics as an excuse for their condition. With a strict diet and sufficient exercise, even the genetically challenged can live a fit and healthy l
My analysis tell me that Wieders commentary is rhetorical effective, given that we cannot assume that Weider’s argument will actually persuade overweight people and obese people to change their ways. The article does, however, make available to many readers what may happen if obesity is still growing out of control and clearly offers advice to positive health. Weider has done a skillful job conveying the urgency that called on him to write this article and able to balance an act in establishing the authority to address two different audiences.
The term “obesity” that Wieder uses gives the sense of urgency and enables readers to see what was calling on Wieder to write. He appears to have excellent credentials to speak on the topic. As he notes in the article, Wieder has a lot of experience in the fitness world and despite his age he is still living like a champ. In fact it is his devotion to find a way to inform everyone that just exercising and dieting a little reduce their chance of attracting any health problems.
