I started working on part one of my I-search project and after watching the video a second time I think I’m going to have a different approach to the argument than I originally intended to have. Personally the most interesting part of this argument is how money is running the way we feed our neighbors locally and internationally. For restaurants, farmers and food companies the amount of money they are brining in affects them more than the effect they are having on their fellow population. I hope to do research to prove that our world is run by money and hope to present ideas to change the way people view food security and the ways they help their neighbors no matter where they live. I hope I won’t come across the problem of not being able to come up with enough actual facts to support my argument. An argument like mine is based almost 100% on real facts with people in our world and it would be very hard to prove my argument without these valid facts. With proper facts I feel it will be easy to present an effective argument on how our food system is run by greedy companies and how it’s ruining our human family. What are your thoughts on companies like McDonalds being one of the most profitable companies internationally, but also being very responsible for the obesity epidemic that is sweeping our world. Do you think the companies are more to blame or the consumers who chose to buy their goods?
The people have the right and duty to be aware of what they are eating and look for healthy options. However many people simply can't afford healthy meals. Fast food is the most convenient and the cheapest form of food. More places need to be made that are convenient and offer a healthy aspect. However, I have noticed that many places even McDonalds has begun to list their health information and offer and even encourage a healthier choice. Salad and Apples for example. As long as demand increases companies such as McDonald will thrive. It seems as if both the consumers and the companies share blame in this growing problem.
