Strongest Arguement

      As I progress through my research I realize that one argument that i have stands out above the rest. I believe that my strongest argument is the health benefits of organic food and how they are so much better fro your "mind, body, and soul." I believe this just because of the facts that support this reason, there are so many large and little facts about organic health benefit that it makes it extremely easy to argue about. An example of a quick fact that you can go on and on about is that organic food studies show that organic food has stronger immune system protection. The chemicals in non- organic food can harm your immune system, leaving you open to sickness. This is an example of just a tiny fact that you can probably ramble on about for a good paragraph and a half. That is why I believe this will be my strongest argument. The facts that come along with this supporting reason are ample. This will be an easy supporting paragraph that I can write a lot about. i cant wait to write about this topic knowing i have an extremely high amount of facts to back it up.

PLEASE WATCH THIS.

 This is a video i wanted to show everyone.This is what is called a downer cow, this cow is so souped up on antibiotics, steroid, and god know what else. That it cant even walk, its too massive for its legs to handle. this is what conventional farmers do, they almost kill their cows with chemicals so that they are bigger and the make more money. They don't care about us an d what is going into our bodies after this you'll take a second thought. This cruelty is almost unbearable. PLEASE CLICK THE LINK AND WATCH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZCdXniYwd4

Rationale For Position.

   

 

 LETS MAKE EVERYTHING USDA ORGANIC CERTIFIED.

      As you know from reading my last post, I will be taking the side of Pro-Organic on my topic. My question once again is, Should there be a law made, that all farms must be certified Organic, and must have safe farming practices that do not harm humans, animals, and the world? I have decided to be Pro-Organic for various reasons. Number one the facts and reasons to be Pro-Organic outweigh the conventional farmers by a lot so, it will be easier to argue why it should be a law. After, reading all my articles it was extremely easy to pick out the pros of organic farming, and hard to find the cons of organic farming. So I already feel like i have an advantage when it comes to Pro Organic facts compared to conventional facts. I also choose to go pro organic because my mother would kill me if i went a different way. For years she has been trying to stress to me the harmful effects of conventional food, and how chemicals are being put into my body. After, reading these facts about GMO's, pesticides, and other antibiotics, there is no way you can pull for conventional farming. These facts are jaw dropping and when I present them to my teacher her jaw will most most likely drop as well. The facts about organic food are just too good to pass up, and it will create less of a hassle when it actually comes to writing my paper, because i will have tons of facts to choose from and tons to back them up.

What Side I Will Be Taking?

 


 
 GORGANIC

           I will be taking the Pro-Side of Organic Farming. I believe that there should be a law that all farms should be certified Organic. I'm going with the Pro side because the facts fro Pro just outweigh the Facts given from the Cons. I also believe that the facts about Pro Organic farming are much more important than the cons. My supporting arguments will be Pesticides that cause illness, grass-fed beef vs conventional,the mistreatment of animals, the antibiotics and other chemicals in the diets of conventional farm animals, and lastly the effects of conventional farming on humans and earth. The arguments that I must battle from the cons, is the skill and time needed to be organic, the cost, and mainly the lower yield percentage of organic farms. I am excited to get started on my essay and look forward to sharing it not only with my class mates but, to the world. I hope they become as informed as i am, about what they are really eating.
