I think the filmmaker has two primary purposes that he is trying to address. The first is that you should not trust everything you see or hear. Secondly, everything is not what it seems, so you should always do additional research of your own. The audience maybe those who track their calories based on information provided at restaurants or at labels and those who are oblivious to the false accuracy of calorie counting. To address ethos, the filmmaker went to a professional to provide substantial evidence on the subject matter of calories. With pathos, he appeals to the audience’s emotion by showing how their hard work to watch their calories is going down the drain because it is inaccurate, which will potentially upset them and make them question their calorie consumption. Lastly, in regards to logos, he draws out a chart to show the logic resulting from his calorie accuracy experimentation. The Calorie Detective and Toys op-docs of war address two different problems as a whole. Calorie Detective talks about and addresses the false information about calories in the foods we are eating. Toy of War addresses and brings notice to the hardships and struggles of those from South Sudan.
