Commenting on other people's work

This post is interesting, kate, but it seems to me as though you are only regurgitating what was said in the book, not so much responding to the material. I think maybe you should consider a 2nd draft and post additional personal thoughts on the ideas.

I like this post and especially how you referred to AMericans as "they" and not "we", meaning that while they might not be able to see through the fad diet system, you can. I also think it was good for you to reference material discussed in class as evidence to bolster the post.

I think that it's very interesting that your mother cooks what she wants to cook. I just wonder, and this is only nitpicking, where did her own preferences come from? Did her mother do the same things she does now? Also, i think that is nice to have a vegan relative. maybe you should try some of her food if you haven't already.

You perceptively take Kate seriously enough to hope for more from her writing.

Your extra politeness with Rachel ("only nitpicking") is necessary?
