Rhetorical Analysis
In the article "Drugs for Drowning" published September 3, 2013 on health.usnews.com, David L. Katz presents his speculations on taking drugs for a source of weight loss. Katz discusses how taking weight loss drugs, such as Qsymia and Contrave, in his opinion, are not the best solutions to losing weight. One of his stronger remarks in the article is, "imagine while waiting for drugs to fix drowning, we didn't bother learning how to swim." As Katz is targeting an audience of anyone who is looking for an easy weight loss solution, he’s trying to make a point that reaching for the medicine cabinet may not to be the best solution.

I think the quote you gave is strong.... "imagine while waiting for drugs to fix drowning, we didn't bother learning how to swim." So many people are looking for a quick fix to lose weight. They will spend a ton of money and put forth so much effort to NOT have to actually eat right and exercise. I am interested to see how more of this paper comes together.
