Question Description
you will write an essay on the topic of food and lifestyle. Although the requirements for this essay are largely similar to those for the previous es- say, there are a few new major differences:

In addition to using a two-dimensional thesis, same as the previous essay, tem- plates from Chapter 7 and Chapter 10 should be used to clarify the importance and the scope of your topic. Refer to the sample thesis in the following guidelines.
Use metacommentary templates to clarify all quotations in the body paragraphs. Refer to Chapter 10 for templates.
In developing the body paragraphs, use rational, emotional, and ethical appeals to strengthen your argument. Refer to the link on Blackboard for further explanation.
Craft rhetorically effective sentences by using antithetical, cumulative, periodic, subjunctive mood, inverted order, and varied openings in sentence construction, in addition to the basic compound and complex structures we have used in the pre- vious essay.
Use transitions to build stronger connections between your ideas. For a list of commonly used transitions, please refer to pages 104-106 in our textbook.
Here are some questions for you to consider when you decide on what to write:

1. In “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food,” Michael Moss offers an insid- er’s view of how food industry engineers and markets its products to get consumers ad- dicted. Moss admits that consumers, “while not powerless, are extremely vulnerable to the intensity of these companies industrial formulations and selling campaigns” (662). What do you think the government, food retailers, and consumers should do to pushback against the food industry?

2. Now you know some of the strategies food industry use to get you hooked, what ac- tions should we take to protect ourselves?

3. In “How Junk Food Can End Obesity,” David Freedman argues against Michael Pol- lan, a wholesome food advocate, praising what fast food restaurants and processed food manufacturers have done to make their products healthier. Freedman goes further to argue that junk food shouldn’t be the problem, but the solution to obesity crisis in America. Do you agree with Freedman? What are the specific actions these industries have done or should do to create positive impact on our lives?
