Is America's Food Supply Safe by Dr. David Acheson was written to ensure all readers that America currently has one of the safest food supply in the world. Behind what is served to us, are we really sure that everything is safe? This is where the persuasion comes in. In the passage, Dr.D Acheson, Assistant Commissioner for Food Protection speaks of the hard work demonstrated by F.D.A members during investigation, inspection and protection of American product to ensure us that the food we eat is one hundred percent safe.
The Food and Drug Administration is closely associated with federal, state and local agencies, as well as private companies and consumers in order to protect incoming food supply. Since the food investigation is based on six hundred and twenty five investigators working out of twenty different offices all across the country, our supplies are pretty safe. Yet, now and then we hear top stories of food poisoning and people dying. Therefore, something out there behind the safe place is causing this. In order to educate the reader about further process of the safety, Acheson mentions the F.D.A border inspectors who prevent unsafe food from entering our country. Do they really check every single product? How can we be sure?. The answers go beyond this text, but Acheson makes sure to present the workers in a positive way as they are always working to protect our food supplies and to protect the consumers before they become ill.
The most significant fact mentioned by Dr. David Acheson is that Food and Drug Administration members do their best to educate consumers about prevention contamination of food. Since many individuals are not always aware of what the supply contains, the placed directions on each supply are a great help in preparing the product or where exactly to store it. But even with the instructions, what is bad in the food cannot be taken out. It is almost like we take chances when choosing food. Will it taste good? How am I sure of the ingredient inside? Is this bad or good? At the end, we choose to trust the company and the product it makes.

Dr. Acheson, wrote this passage to remind American's of the watch and safety dedicated to protecting America's everyday supply. The few reminders in Acheson's writing make the reader feel more aware of the process and work around it.
Maybe a little more insight on your opinion would be nice. Like for example, how safe do you really feel with the F.D.A. on how they do their job. I kind of felt i was reading the same passage with the same facts. Maybe just a spice of this would do the trick? Other than that it's well written except for recent which you spelled it "resent"
ReplyDeleteOkay! I guess I was trying to not put so much of what I had to say, so I ended not writing my opinion.
