HW 12 Final Food Project 2 Outline

Thesis: The Dominant practices of food in the United  States are often nightmarish industrial atrocities; these atrocities have evolved to fit the United States culture and cannot easily be changed by people with completely different ideas.

Major Claim: The lack of exposure of the way food is being consumed, what is being consumed, and the amount of what is being consumed, shows that these food ways will not change because it isn't being brought to the society's attention. 

Supporting Claim 1: Even with the food movement, the way food is shown in the media is glamorized.
