Opinion About Soda Purchases with Food Stamps

I agree with Adam Drewnowski with his opinion about this topic. I do agree that we usually censure food choice behanviors of low-income people, because they dont have enough money to buy the healthiest of foods, and the fact that healthier foods will be a positive way to use their benefits, but how can you do that if they gert a certain amount of money when food already cost soo much.  Buying healthy foods is just not enough, and he has a reasonable opinion on a very sensative topic.  Summarizing what he is basically saying is that, eating healthy just not enough.  Im guessing he also means that you must have a healthy lifestyle in order to fully maintain a stable healthy body.  Overall i agree with his opinion, where he maintains a stable argument and backs it up with numerous facts.

300 word summary

Watching 'Super Size Me' made me think twice about eating from McDonald's.  I remember specifically about the two girls suing McDonald's for there intentional harming children with the food.  The movie is basically about proving that McDonald's intentionally making our children addicted to their food, making them overweight all around the world.  Even thought the girls lost their lawsuit against McDonald's, that doesn't mean Super Size Me didn't show everyone what really is going on within McDonald's.  Meanwhile Chapter 2 in Fast Food Nation was talking about how they influence you into buying their products.  For example,  McDonald's influence your decisions by having products that lean towards their restaurants, like Telephones that are shaped like french fries, or bean bag dolls, and things like that.  They also mention the process of how McDonald's became what it is today.  How Ray Kroc took the McDonald's Food Chain nationwide, and how he worked along side with the Walt Disney during the time they were constructing Disney Land.  How they advertised their products with idealistic positive comments given by the customers.

Peer Review Worksheet

1. Introduction: How does the first paragraph introduce both the paper’s topic and the writer’s approach or general conclusion? Is the first sentence attention-getting and relevant to the topic?

2. What can you identify as a thesis statement? (Re-write it below) Suggest, if possible, a way to improve the introduction or thesis statement.

                            "All throughout this paper I will be finding out which typpe of meatloaf is healthier the current recipe for meatloaf that my mom makes, or the old classic recipe from 1911."  They could improve this thesis statement by making it shorter and make it go straight to the point.

3. Structure: Can you identify the organization of the paper from the main idea of each paragraph? What are the main concepts explored in the paper? Does each paragraph make a relevant point that is distinct from what has already been covered? What are the main conclusions?

                             I could identify the organization of the paper and identify the main idea of each paragraph.  The first paragraph is about both recipes and the relevant ingredients that will be used in the essay to prove his point.  Then he goes into the reason why he believes its healthier by talking about the beef that's used in the recipe.  Then talks about the book "Fast Food Nation" and how its relevant to his argument about his thesis.

4. Clarity/Style: Did you find distracting grammar, punctuation, spelling, or word usage problems? Identify any patterns or themes you detect. Is the tone of the essay formal? If you find awkward sentences, try to explain why they don’t make sense to you.

                            I did not see any obvious grammar, punctuation, spelling, or even word usage problems.  The tone of the essay is formal and i did not find any awkward sentances.

5. Resources: Does the author clearly identify his/her sources? Is proper in-text and reference format used?

6. What is/are the paper’s greatest strength(s)? Explain.

                                      I do believe the first sentence is attention rabbing and is relevant to the topic.  The first paragraph goes straight into the point of the essay, giving a few key information that does summarize what the essay is mainly all about.
