  • The Jungle, Omnivore's Dilemma And Food, Inc.

    660 Words  | 3 Pages

    As we go through The Jungle, Omnivore’s Dilemma, and Food, Inc., it becomes apparent that all of these publishings target ethos to appeal to their audience. Upton Sinclair uses ethos during the time when he describes workers washing their hands in the water used for the sausage (Sinclair 143). This is bias because it compels the reader into acknowledging that the things going into food is not right, however it does not show any good qualities in the meatpacking industry. Therefore, this affects the reader’s value system because when they were informed of the monstrosities going on within the food industries, it changes their trust towards the industry. Another example of this is Michael Pollan’s bias __ the food industry when he states that

Being that he and his family were middle-class immigrants from Mexico, Rodriguez starts out by expressing the notice he took to his parent’s bilingual abilities in his childhood. Somewhat of a rarity, having both parents from a different country being able to speak at least a small amount of English, young Richard was relentless in the disappointment he showed toward his parent.

  • Hungry Planet The Pleasures Of Eating Analysis

    Starting with “Hungry Planet: What The World Eats”, the author is a well-known and has a reputation for publishing many accurate and widely distributed articles. The author only uses anecdotal evidence. While pictured families may represent their nation well, and the article is an interesting one, they did not use a sample size that would have any real external validity. The article does not appear to be peer reviewed, and I did not find any citations of established facts. This article appears to have been made to entertain people, because it does not teach anything new, but it does show a new perspective through which we can view the world and our dinner tables.

    After finishing reading Wolfe’s essay, I found some parts of his essay are tough to understand, but several ideas this essay introduces are interesting. He states that blindness could be a unique form of abled-ness. People with disability in visual system ironically have more access to the truth, while on the other hand, normal people with intact eyes are blind. His interpretation of normality as inferiority really intrigues me. From my understanding, the weakness and blindness that normal people possess are actually inside of humanity.

  • Stuffed And Starved Summary

    1540 Words  | 7 Pages

    In the world, there are one billion people undernourished and one and a half billion more people overweight. In this day and age, where food has become a means of profit rather than a means of keeping people thriving and healthy, Raj Patel took it upon himself to explore why our world has become the home of these two opposite extremes: the stuffed and the starved. He does so by travelling the world and investigating the mess that was created by the big men (corporate food companies) when they took power away from the little men (farmers and farm workers) in order to provide for everyone else (the consumers) as conveniently and profitably as possible. In his book Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System, Patel reveals his findings and tries to reach out to people not just as readers, but also as consumers, in hopes of regaining control over the one thing that has brought us all down: the world food system.
