If the Food Stamps Program is supposed to promote nutrition and ensure people improve their health, I do not see why the government should create a new law to impose people what to buy with their small amount benefits food stamps. Especuilly in a country where most adults and children in poor neighborhoods have a high  rate of obesity and overweight, who really need help in terms on nutrition. Instead, governmnet should dissapear the idea of comsumption  of all artificial and suggared drinks by food stamps in order people force themseves  drink water which is meant one of the best health source.

                                                   Response  Super Size and Fast Food Nation Chapter two

This film is not only blaming  fast food restaurants  for the obesity epidemic, and other health problems  but it  encourages us to talk about what we eat daily and what we should do about it. It is a clear message trying to change consumer’s behavior and habits in terms of nutrition. Especially those who are eating fast food morning, afternoon and evening, this film is a good lesson to avoid the excess of fast food.  Sometimes, we do not realize about the consequences that fast food can cause, as Morgan   Spurlock after completing his experiment gained weight and developed a high cholesterol level. Many people blame the lack of time as the main reason why they eat junk food.  I agree with them in part, but sometimes we do it just because of convenience. I do not believe that the American government will stop the food industry from selling dangerous food, instead we have to watch what we eat and manage better our time in order to be in a good health condition which requires time, effort, and patience and keep in mind that the food industry is a huge money maker which keeps inventing products that make people spend their money. On the other hand, in the book “Fast Food Nation” children as everyone know they love toys, play, and socialize with other children, therefore for many years Mc Donald   becomes the best place for them. Since this huge company spends billions of dollars in commercial television, children are already familiar with all the advertisements.  Children in America in some ways command parents. If parents would really love them, they would not provide them whatever they ask for. For instance thousands of children are pleased by a happy meal every single day even when they are not feeling hungry but because the meal contains a toy.  Parents need to be aware about their children’ health, and stop pleasing them because they need to be protected from future diseases.

                                                 FOOD  IN 2

In the Food Inc movie the author is trying  to make us  understand how  thousands of products are  treated  by the food industry  before people buy  to  consume and not only products, but employees and animals too.

After I watched  Food In movie,  I felt really bad about how people work and struggle to bring food at home. Imaginably we spent money in food to be nourished, but  fruits, vegetables, meats, found  at the market very nice wrapped, claiming to be healthy  and announced in expensive commercials have a little or none nutrient.  Instead they are full of the pesticides and fertilizers and in some cases they are also contaminated by bacteria that kill humans.  Similarly, meats come from animals raised by hormones and chemicals and fed with corn to make them fat quickly.  Humans have no compassion, with animals suffer unnecessarily.

On the other hand, Immigrants who came to America looking for a better future have become the best work sources of these industries.  Since employees are undocumented, employers have created worker conditions to abuse their rights. They employ illegal immigrants, who allow them to avoid compensations for the numerous injuries.  Industries only want to have a highest production at the lowest cost possible.

 I believe that the right of food is a human right as any other right. Food represents plants and animals that God created to survive and none has the right to change it. Although, the food industry in association with politics are keeping controlling all the food production by modifying every day the natural system to accomplish their intensive production, we are the ones who have to be alert when we choose what to eat and what to avoid, be healthy and choose organic food would be a good way to avoid cancers diseases.

PEER REVIEW

Editor’s Name

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?

I gave a general idea about the relationship between food and culture, then I compared traditional food one hundred years ago and processed food now. Since food is important this sentence would catch the attention of the reader. 

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.

I believe that preparing traditional dishes by using natural and fresh ingredients might be a good way to be healthy as our ancestors use to eat one hundred years ago. It might be long.

   

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 believe that each paragraph explain different ingredients as main idea. Main concepts are the freshness, processed, artificial, consequences, and  benefits. I need more information to make it relevant

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.

Grammar mistakes: verbs tense, spell, punctuation and incorrect use of prepositions. Some sentences might be rewrite by reading more  to make them substantial.

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

Yes, I took some ideas from the movie Food Inc, newspaper , research internet and magazines.
