Argument
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/15/opinion/15kristof.html?em
This opinion article is about how it is wrong that the government is allowing slaughter houses to administer antibiotics to their livestock. Because of the antibiotics and the fact that we are eating them, we are becoming immune to their effects, and therefore can't be treated when we need to be. The author appeals to us by using facts, such as when he says "Five out of 90 samples of retail pork in Louisiana tested positive for MRSA — an antibiotic-resistant staph infection — according to a peer reviewed study published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology last year. And a recent study of retail meats in the Washington, D.C., area found MRSA in one pork sample, out of 300, according to Jianghong Meng, the University of Maryland scholar who conducted the study." He also appeals by stating strong arguments and opinions and backing them up. He stands strong by his opinion and appeals to our ethos by working on our fear of being contaminated. He is on one side of this argument and only shows his side by criticizing the government, and meat industry harshly.
