Beef, It's Not What's For Dinner!


            For my formal analytical report I have decided to choose the subject of red meat and use reliable resources to support how unhealthy it is to consume and how the killing of the cows are inhuman. I plan to use the internet to find PETAs website which will help me find facts to back up the information about the mistreatment of the cows, and baby calves. I will also use books found in the Edison library and The American Dietary Association to show statistics on the dangers of red meat consumption. 

           With the subject of red meat I feel that writing a newsletter may help get my point across in a more positive way. I will use images of bacteria that can be present in red meat and the illnesses that can be contracted by them, statistics of hormones that may be added to red meat, and clear explanations as to how the animals are mistreated from birth to death in slaughter houses or farms. 

            The primary readers of my newsletter would have to be consumers, and animal rights activists. The secondary readers could be a nutritionist or health care professional looking to inform patients on the benefits and health risks associated with red meat consumption. And tertiary readers might be a meat distributor who come across this article.

            I'd like this newsletter to open  up the eyes of individuals to really understand and become educated about how red meat is not as healthy for us as we may believe it to be. Animals are not just killed for food, but the ways they are treated is appalling, and people need to know the truth about where the foods that they eat come from. We don’t really know what goes on behind closed doors. I hope that consumers will find this newsletter informative and possibly stop them from continuing to buy red meat and convince them to exclude it from their diet..

Put Cigarettes Out For Good!


For my proposal assignment I have decided to do my topic on cigarettes and how the manufacturing of them should no longer continue. Every year millions of people die or become sick from smoking. I feel that the production of them should be stopped so that individuals do not have the option to smoke. The readers of my paper would have to be first and foremost the cigarette companies. They know the damage that cigarettes have on their consumers, yet they still make these horrible death sticks every day. Other readers of my proposal would be advertising companies, businesses that sell cigarettes, and all of the people who are currently smokers. Many people may benefit from cigarettes, but I am planning on showing them how it may not be worth it in the end. By making my proposal on the ban of cigarette production, I hope to show to the businesses and smokers out there the serious harm that cigarettes cause. Not only can it effect your health, the cost, and inconvenience also do damage to those who choose to smoke. I would like to make the cigarette companies realize that the health of individuals is more important than the money that they profit from them. I plan to use statistics and evidence on how smoking kills and information on the diseases and illnesses that can happen from the result of smoking. And I hope to help persuade smokers to put an end to this horrible habit for good.
