Do the risks outweigh the benefits of the industrial food chain? Why or why not?
The risks outweight the benefits of the Industrial food chain by a lot. The Industrial food chain risks the environment and the people in that environment. The text states "Some of it turns into nitrous oxide, a gas that increases global warming." This qoute shows how with the things that the industrial food chain does to produce food is harming the environment. The text states "the feedlots are also breeding grounds for new and deadly bacteria. Some of these bacteria are finding their way into our food." This qoute is telling me that with the system of the Industrial food chain bactaria that are deadly can end up in the food that we (humans) consume. The text states "Genetically modified corn seed... Promises even higher yields than hybrid seed." This quote is telling me the things that the Industrial food chain is doing to the plants just so that they can produce more cornThis is why the risks overweight the benefits. The benefits are mainly about greater food production, which is not as important as the health of the people and the environment.
I think your viewpoint was good because you said two risks and then at the end you put an counter claim and it was good
