Do the risks outweigh the benefits of the industrial food chain? Why or why not?
In my state of opinion I believe that the risks of the industrial food chain outweigh the benefits of the industrial food chain because it seems that for every benefit it results a risk. For example in the text, "Omnivore's Dilemma " Micheal Pollan talks about how industrial food is now cheaper for people to purchase which is well, a benefit. But this benefit is a problem. The cheaper the food is the more and more unhealthy it is. These cheap food are the reason for increase in weight in people today. Especially fast food places. Also another example in the text is about how because of CAFOS, "meat is now cheap that many of us eats it three times a day". This benefit results another risk too. The risk to this benefit is that "but the waste from CAFOS is a huge source of very toxic pollution". Therefore the risks of the industrial food chain does outweigh the benefits because the benefits results an risk.
This is a really good short response, you included the benefits and the risks, which strengthens your claim.
