In Ethan A. Huff's "Factory Food artificially cheap, bad for your health", his argument is clear and straight forward when early on he says, "the new methods have actually reduced the overall quality, nutritional value and safety of food, which is why there are frequent contamination outbreaks, not to mention skyrocketing increases in new disease among the population."Huff's claim in this article is that factories are producing problems not only with food but with the health of society. By giving all the antibiotics to these animals just for cost benefits versus health benefits Huff believes that this is creating a lower quality product and in turn making the antibiotics ineffective against bacteria. He also claims that the tight courters and over crowded farm factories is making for a bacteria filled food product and is also making all the animals sick and not healthy. I believe that Huff's argument is well planned and convincing because he goes from explaining what is happening in these factories and why it's bad, to ending his article with suggestions on how it should be. By using the recent example of the salmonella outbreak in Iowa the reader can understand first hand the bad affects of these factories having to dense a population in such small areas. His argument is sealed at the end when he suggests that we need to respect the land and have local farming that employs clean and natural methods of growing and raising foods.
