Review of Teens and Dieting
Jennol talks about a new craze in dieting: eating organic food. People actually approach employees in organic food stores seeking diet tips! I thought that this was very interesting. I knew that there was a trend towards healthier foods and more sustainable agriculture, but I had no idea that people ate those foods as part of this new diet. How weird! Another diet is the no-diet diet, which calls for people to accept themselves, to eat balanced meals, and to exercise. I really enjoyed listening to Jennol's piece. Her voice is steady and confident. There isn't any background music, but we do get to hear the noises of the organic food store she visited.
