Prompt:
Over the course of the semester we’ve examined a number of popular trends in American eating, the most prominent of which is eating organically. As we have seen, people are adopting it for a variety of practical and philosophical reasons. But to fully embrace it often means adhering to a strict behavioral code. Altering purchasing habits, knowing food’s origins, and spending more money are just a few of the requirements of true organic eating. Even so, many organic eaters swear by its positive attributes, and point to benefits ranging from personal to global. Still, others are not convinced that eating organically makes a significant enough difference, personally or otherwise.
For this assignment, you must argue for OR against the merits of eating organically. In a clear and concise persuasive essay, argue why adopting organic eating is, or is not, worth the effort. Cite specific evidence from the essays we read to support your argument.
Also, you may use the term “organic” exclusively as term referring to foods produced under specific conditions, or as a catch-all phrase to include many popular food trends, including seasonal eating, veganism, slow food, flexitarianism, hydroponic eating, locavorism, metabolic eating, etc. Requirements:
- MLA format, including parenthetical citation
- 2.5-page minimum
- Have a concise thesis with a clear argument (for or against eating organically)
- Utilize rhetorical techniques in order to convince readers of their position
- Support their thesis with solid evidence organized in a logical structure
- Properly cite evidence using MLA's parenthetical citation method
- Conclude with a summation of your points
- Be in proper MLA Style
