Help me check spelling, grammar, and punctuation? short paragraph?

In his essay, “Don’t Blame the Eater,” David ZinczenkoIn responds to opposing opinions about the correlation between childhood obesity and fast food. The first “they say” or “naysayer” argues that people should exercise personal responsibility. In other words, consumers should not choose to eat fast-food in the first place. In response to this, Zinczenko explains that some parents work long hours, having no time to cook a proper meal for their child. Consequently, fast-food restaurants are “the only available options for an American kid to get an affordable meal.” Another argument that Zinczenko brings up is, “Shouldn’t we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants?” He replies by asking where else are consumers—especially teenagers—going to find alternatives. Zinczenko then adds that America has more than 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants, which makes it difficult to find healthy food. Lastly, he responds to the ertion that fast-food suppliers will present calorie information upon request. Indeed, they do provide calorie information, but even that can be difficult to comprehend.(tell why) Additionally, the calorie facts can be misleading. (example?)All in all, Zinczenko answers contrasting arguments defending fast-food corporations.
