In the article by Aaron E. Carroll on the “simple rules of healthy eating,” the author has made a tremendous contribution of seven rules on healthy eating. Carroll argues that several writers have their opinions on what the readers of their articles should not do in selecting their food nutrient and say very little what actually should be done. He has chosen to write on what actually should be done compared to as what should not be done. On the other hand, the article "The Pleasures of Eating" written by Wendell Berry describes the importance of understanding the link between eating, good agricultural practices and how to get the pleasure from food. The content is an informative article targeting people living in urban areas, advising them how to eat responsibly. The two authors have significantly advocated on the need to focus on the consumption of natural food products without undergoing industrial processing steps which render them unhealthy.
The use of the second person in the article by Caroll makes the reader identify with it. By continually using “you” the audience gets the feeling that the piece is directed them. From the introduction, the author refers to various writers which give the article a more believable approach.

He uses simple language and sentences that make the article easy to read and understand. His paragraphs are short and precise yet give precise details on what we should do. Each paragraph uniquely supports an individual point. It is not too wordy, and the arrangement is simple in that by reading the opening sentence, the reader can instantly understand the concept presented in the paragraph. His use of relevant examples is on point. He does not just write vaguely but is sure to leave clear cases like foods, vegetables and particular restaurants that the audience can get the best types of foods. Also, he uses photographs to add color to the article. The picture of the green market in Union Square is well placed and instantly grabs the attention of the audience. Another style that was appealing was the use of links to guide the reader to different related sites for further reading. The strategy makes the audience deem it as accurate.
Wendell Berry on the other hand though with the same arguments focuses more on the art of food production. The article states that eating is an agricultural act that everyone should embrace or at least learn about. The piece emphasizes more on the food production in agrarian areas and presents the urban residents as being without the knowledge that goes into specialized food production. Wendell’s article is more complicated to unde...
