The Voice of Jimmy Moore

Jimmy Moore's blog is an attempt to debunk the anit-Atkins diet movement. He does so by supplying evidence of his personal success of weight loss via The Adkins Diet, as written in "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" book. Where he discovers the low carb way of life as a philosophy for better health. Through his transformation, Jimmy has not only analyzed the health care crisis as a result of personal "bad lifestyle choices in which individuals should be penalized for, but he has also made a living selling books, you-tubing, and blogging on his experiences.

In a recent blog titled: "We Don't Have A Health Care Crisis In America; We Have a Preventative Disease Epidemic That Low-Carb Can Cure" Jimmy uses the irony of the "health care reform" movement as humor to support his theory on individualized health care:

And states:

Although a segment of the
population believes in the libertarian principle that they should be able to eat and drink however they choose to without anyone telling them differently, the reality is those are
the very people who have rationalized that their actions aren’t really harming anyone but themselves.

The wittiness in Jimmy's reply is established by using the the same principle (libertarian principle) that the people he is arguing against use to exploit their hypocrisy. His word choice of "the reality" further describes how out of touch with the reality these people are. The posts closing argument states:

You have a right to choose NOT to eat healthy, but you do not have a right to expect others to pay for your declining health that is sure to come as a result. Is it asking too much for people to be more responsible for their individual choices?

Jimmy chooses to emphasize the word "NOT" in many other sentences that describe eating healthy as oppose to NOT eating healthy. His caps lock choice might be a way of saying there is no argument to what is healthy and what is NOT healthy; there is a distinct factual line between healthy and unhealthy which is unarguable and should be recognized. He then ends with a reflective question instead of a statement. This could be a tactic for encouraging others to comment, or as a foreshadow of blogs to come. Either way, it keeps the reader engaged and questioning.

As a devout Atkins' dieter, Jimmy enjoys his meat. And sees nothing wrong with that! In another post titled: Fun-Filled Friday: Christine Sick, Vegan Humor, Mercy For Animals, Turkey Roll, Cell Phone Karma, And Funerals Jimmy abruptly points out a relationships between anti-abortionists and animal rights activists. After showing a video about the slaughtering methods of baby chickens, he declares:

It’s amazing how much concern is dramatized in this video about the “pain” there is with these chickens and yet you never hear the vegans expressing the same kind of outrage at the genuine pain and "killing" that happens with the life of an unborn baby during an
abortion. There's such a double standard with this issue that you ca't help but notice the hypocrisy.

This is one way of putting it...?

After watching the 5 min video, of the standard procedure of chicken harvesting with minimal voice over describing the events occurring, one would hardly call it "dramatizing." Jimmy seems to be the dramatic one when it comes to this issue. Although his analogy has some validity he uses the harsh words such as: pain, killing, and outrage, to get his point across. His opinion is voiced by using the word "pain" when describing the actions taking place on the chickens as oppose to the word "killing" to describe the happenings of an abortion. I also enjoy his choice of putting an article before the word vegans; "the vegans" as in "the gays" or "the blacks," further questioning his motive. Is he just fighting for a world of healthy eating consisting of meat, or a world of conformed politics where everyone eats chickens and has 16 children?

With his scattered thoughts and opinions, all supposing to revolved around health it is hard to say if Jimmy Moore's Livin' La Vida Low-Carb lifestyle is worth adhering to. Regardless of motive Jimmy is successful at capitalizing on his pre-obesity bad judgements and Dr. Atkin's diet plan.
