He provides factual evidence to back up this information. He even provides a lot of pathos or emotions to the reader. One such story talks about a really healthy adult being infected with contaminated ground beef and his experiences with it. That alone shows the effects of unsanitized slaughterhouses, if the cattle are infected when being slaughtered. That single cattle can jeopardize the entire food supply.
U.S Beef Industry Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle. Beef may be collected from cows, bulls or heifers. This is one of the main meat used in the kitchens of the Middle East, Pakistan, Australia, Argentina, Europe and the United States of America, and it is also important in Africa, parts of East Asia and Southeast Asia. Beef is considered a taboo food in some cultures, especially Indian culture, and that is not avoided by the Hindus and Jains are discouraged among some Buddhists. Animal Industry is the largest U.S. agricultural sector - the meat and milk production usually accounts for more than 40% of the national agricultural production.
It’s called “Mad Cow” because of the strange way the cattle act that are infected with the disease. Mad Cow Disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disease in cattle that causes a spongy degeneration in the brain and spinal cord. Mad cow disease is caused by an abnormal infectious protein called a preeon. The preeon was discovered by American neurologist Stanley B. Prusiner. Prions are a mutated form of a normal protein.
Why do we love one but eat the other? An ad campaign, “why love one but eat the other” has brought up some big disputes in the subways, buses and highways of Toronto. The campaign supports veganism and is supporting the cease of the abuse and mistreatment of animals in slaughterhouses. The campaign aims to bring up debate as to why we call some animal’s pets and others dinner (New MFA Anti-Meat Billboard Asks California Drivers). The ad draws attention to how similar the animals we call “family” are to the animals we call “dinner” and exposes the shocking truth about the cruelty that Canadian animals raised for food face (BeVeg.ca).The ads are seen by millions each day and make them speculate as to why we love our pets but eat other animals.
Upon his visit to Chicago to do research for a book that was meant to show the nation how the labor of men and women are exploited for profit, Sinclair stumbled on the disgusting conditions in meatpacking factories. There were no regulations on food preparation and distribution at the time, and Sinclair wanted to change that. He wrote The Jungle and it was very successful. His readers ranged from normal citizens to President Theodore Roosevelt. After Roosevelt read the graphic novel, he pushed for passage of the Meat Inspection Act.

Stand up and speak for animals that In Michael Kirby's article in The Age in August 2011 "stand up and speak for animals that cannot", he discusses the issue of live cattle export from Australia to Indonesia and the terrible conditions that affect them when they arrive. He contends that the export industry should be ended and that "we have a historical opportunity to... act on a shared belief that grave cruelty to other sentient animals is unacceptable. Kilby uses the notions of patriotism and inclusive language to help convince the readers of his point and to make the readers see him as equal to him and him being the same as them. He begins by saying "Australia must decide" which makes people think it's their duty as well as everyone else's and also identifies himself as someone included in in this decision, and that it is not just the decision of the politicians and leaders. He later says "we have a historic opportunity..." which is another example of inclusive language, which again reaffirms the fact that Kilby is the same as the readers and that they are all a part of this.
Pathos ~ 8 / The Most Dangerous job Schlosser uses a variety of methods to appeal to his audiences, but by including some emotionally heart wrenching stories , Schlosser has not only revealed the dark side of all American meals he also has touched millions of hearts around the nation. Fast Food has become such an integral part of today's society in almost every country around the world it is seems impossible to stop it. Schlosser includes a number of examples using pathos to not only get his views across but also to persuade the audience by using figurative language, imagery, and vivid descriptions. In today's day and age we are only concerned about the number of calories in a big mac, we don't realize how the food being served to us was produced. We think the that food we eat is produced in the very restaurant where we purchase it; however, the process is not that simple, containers of frozen food are heated and warmed then served to us.
Meat and Milk Factories After reading “Meat and Milk Factories” by Peter Singer and Jim Mason I realized since 1975, pigs have been a major influence in the meat industry to farmers as well as factories. They are used in terms of “farrowing, feeding, and gestating,” all to be processed in meat factories. (Peter Singer and Jim Mason”) However, does that necessarily mean that the way in which these inculpable animals are being treated is ethical and will change? Pigs are treated with unfair cruelty and it has been going on since the late 20th century. In addition, there is no underlying doubt that American consumers will not change their eating habits that they have had for centuries, to justify the safekeeping of pigs.
ACE Day Reflection When I arrived at ACE Day I was intimidated by the professional setup for every company. I developed a plan of going to the companies I was least interested in to get a feel for the process. After speaking with Eddy Packing Company and Paramount Citrus I went to speak to the most interesting to me, The Maschoffs. I did background research on The Maschoffs beforehand so I would seem more professional in my first impression, and have some clue to what their business provided and consisted of. I researched that they were a large family-owned pork producer that works to feed over sixteen million consumers.
