Amazing emotional appeal in this movie! Producers show how mcdonalds food is made and it really leaves you disgusted. Then to see the scary life threatening affects that it made on a completely healthy person. Appeals were very strong in that sense.
As for ethical apppeal it was interesting to get a bunch of different views from three doctors, and a variety of people from educated people to younger people.
It lacked some ethical appeal however, that happened to one person, will the same affects happen to all people? I know many people that live off mcdonalds and their health seems ok, why? Most of it is the parents and how they raise their kids anyway. Dont let your kids eat there, that would solve some problems, or how about make your kids excersise?
overall it was an interesting movie, and leaves you wondering, but I do not feel sympathetic for other peoples poor nutrition choices.

Should jail always be the answer for punishment?

Child support laws seem to be out of hand and out of justice in the court systems today. How can one deem a parent to jail as a form of punishment when the child is supposed to be in best interest? Is jailing the parent over non payment really benefiting the child, and how will the child get support if the parent is jailed? Many questions in the eyes of a courtroom, and many bias decisions……or is it just a money game?

In response to Genetically modified foods: harmful or helpful?

According to Deborah B. whitman in her artical Gentically Modified Foods: Harmful or helpful?, there is huge controversy of whether or not GM food is affecting our health. Whitman states how the government needs to control GM foods and the FDA is showing concern.
I dont feel this would be a good article to use in our compare and contrast essay because it is outdated “2000″ and it shows no proven facts about human health just about the monarch butterfly! There is alot of stats in the article but again they are so outdated who knows how they have changed?

In response to Kerry Irons letter

I am neutral on the issue.With not much education or background on the subject, it left me still wondering. There was no evidence or sources to prove your point of evolution. I was left hanging on what you really believed after contradicting yourself time and time again. It seemed as if you were trying to approach both sides, but it wasn’t very clear.

What articles were published that support Darwin’s theory? You say that there were thousands, and yet never gave any sources to where they could be found. What are Darwin’s fundamental concepts that you are trying to prove anyway? Darwin could be any John Doe to your reading audience. I don’t think you took that into consideration, that not everybody knows who Darwin is or what his theories on evolution were.

On your Aug 14th letter you refer to, who exactly is this author, and who is to judge who is honest and who isn’t? I’m sure there are many articles that say many things on your defense, but where are they ? Are they knowledgeable and credible to use? For all I know that could be your next door neighbors opinion.

You also refer to the fossil examples. Where exactly were these found and who found them? I’m having a hard time even believing your article because there is no information that is credible.
