In his 2006 book The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Michael Pollan endeavors to illustrate the process of how a cow becomes a steak. Industrial farming is not a simple process, it is rife with problematic practices. Pollan’s book is akin to a written documentary, and he uses rhetorical devices to gently guide the reader as a companion on his journey.

Working in the emergency department of our local hospital, I see so many young girls ranging from fourteen (14) and older having babies while still being babies themselves. Some are going on baby number two. Although I don’t feel like they are necessarily throwing their lives away, they are definitely making high school and the continuance of a college career a challenge.
