SWA

I'm responding to the second article..."Factory food artificially cheap, bad for your health". The claim is pretty obvious; it's stated in the title. Factory food is bad for your health. Several reasons are given.

  • mass contamination has led to several recalls of commonly used products
  • new diseases breakout
  • cheaper cost = less quality, nutrition, and safety
  • animal living conditions suck, get sick often
  • animal food consists of crap (literally) and bugs
  • hurting the environment
  • animals not being free ranged anymore also has an impact on the quality of the meat
I think this argument is convincing...I think it gave great appeal to pathos. This topic is one I've already been interested in. It should gross anyone out to think about the quality of their food and make anyone sad when they think about the lifestyle for the animals.

  1. I agree with the claim and reasons you listed. I think the author's argument could be even more effective if they included what it did to your health.
