Finshing food

Thesis: People living in todays society are convinced of the normality of these dominant social practices, and oblivious to the nightmarish industrial atrocity.

Major claim: People are vividly unaware of the food companies system of production.

Argument 1: Manufactures purposely have a veil covering what people know about the food production system.

Supporting Evidence: The harsh treatment of animals as shown in the movie Food inc.
  • chicken being kicked
  • animals never seeing day light
  • being over feed to the point they cannot stand
  • intake of antibiotics

Argument 2: Manufacturing companies care solely on mass production and profit rather than the health of the animals or the consumer

Supporting Evidence:
  • obesity rates of people in the united states "Mississippi is the fattest state for 5th straight year, Colorado still leanest." Calorie Lab (2010): n. pag. Web. 8 Nov 2010.
  • expansion of fast food restaurants
  • false labeling on grocery store products
  • "Reading food labels isn't as easy as you think.." daily green (2010): n. pag. Web. 8 Nov 2010. .
