View point: The way we, as a country, process and produce meat is absolutely gross and whats sometimes just as bad is who eats this terribly handled meat. Hear in class we have watched many videos and read many articles and stories about the way people and our government lets them handle the things we eat. Animals are misfeed, poorly handled, and kept in terrible conditions. We as a country eat this meat. We indulge in this meat that sometimes, more than we like, has bacteria like E. Coli. The government even gives this processed food to children. The meat that contains bacteria, hormones, even infection. Children are getting sic from this and even still we take the meat from the lowest bidder (which usually has terrible conditions and doesn't meet government standard) and feed kids who are counting on school meals and who are supposed to be growing healthy.
Evidence:Watching Food Inc. vividly shows us how the animals are treated. Feeding them corn which shouldn't be in their diet. Giving them hormone shots, cutting holes in the side of cows to make sure they there digesting their food instead of giving them the food that is good for them, walking around in poop up to their knees, and not being cleaned properly. In How Safe Are School Lunches? They found chicken with yellow sores on it indicating that it had an infection. They also found dirty machines and had failed tests for salmonella.

Viewpoint: Animals are being treated with poor behavior and are forced to live in unsanitary locations.By the poor behavior that they receive, it affects there health along with ours.There not being feed daily or even cleaned. The places that they live in are infected with rats bacteria grim and many other disgusting feces. Animals are being forced hormones which is unhealthy for the animals and the Americans that buy the food. This is a problem because many young children are reaching puberty and or are becoming sick,or worse getting cancer because of whats being injected into these animals. Animals are dying every second of the day because of the abuse they face and this has also became a big problem in the US today.

My evidence supports my view point because in the first article i found it stated about how young girls such as the age of 5 are starting with puberty and many parents are finding this strange. Doctors say that it is nothing unusual but many other viewers believe that this is strange and its coming from the hormones of the meat that we produce daily.
Question: What mad you choose this topic to talk about ?
-Tiara Dunn
I chose this because it's unbelievable to me that they would be feeding this to young children and think that it is ok. They never want to spend money on growing kids of America. They say education is so important well it's important to become educated on the food that they are feeding our children. And hopefully do something about it as well. I myself became ill once because i ate a cold hamburger that they served me, but i had been so hungry and thought it was ok to eat because it was school food and i was sadly mistaken. No child should go threw that when there hungry. Were mistreated because they want a cheep way out.

Raquel,
DeleteI am not sure if you would like this to be counted as one of your comments. If so, it is missing additional evidence to back up your claim.

Raquel, What do you mean when you say that the government gives food to kids? How are they the people who are in charge of giving the food to children?

DeleteI do agree with you, Raquel. The government claims they do all they can to protect us, by changing up their military tactics, but they fail to see what is hurting us in our own country. Actually, they DO see what is happening, I just feel they aren't doing anything to stop it. It's sad, because small children are being hurt by the amounts of E. Coli in the meat they eat. On the FDA website, it says, "What is the Problem and What is Being Done About It?" yet there is nothing saying what the steps are to fix the E. Coli problems.

Raquel, do you know where these children are getting these foods predominantly? Is it from home or from school?
