Paula Deen's Argument Analysis
In 2012 chef Paula Deen was caught in a scandal of admitting to her inappropriate use of the N-word. It all started in March of 2012 when one of the workers Lisa Jackson at the restaurant Deen owns sued her for her racial and sexual comments. On May of 2013 that is where in court Jackson’s attorney asked Deen if she had inappropriately used the “N-word”. Right then and there Paula admitted to it and quote said, “Yes of Course”. In addition, she also admitted to having a theme at her restaurant for a wedding to have the waiters portrayed as slaves. To deem herself as not a bad guy for using the word inappropriately she said how it was just a joke and not to be directed as offensive. Yet, joke is on her because in June of 2013 she was dropped

Astor also has a degree in political science from Barnard College, therefore the information she provided is highly credible. In the article, she reports of a recent Dove ad that caused an outcry in the social media for its racist undertones. Astor quotes Dove’s spokeswoman and her apologetic remarks, stating that the ad was intended to convey a different message and that the company will re-evaluate its internal processes for creating and reviewing content. Critics are unimpressed of the apology. Astor then lists examples from the past of ads that were accused of racism: Intel, Popchips, Nivea…

    Due to busy mornings, hectic afternoon, and countless tiresome nights, most Americans will stop by a restaurant at least once a week. As a former restaurant employee I’ve seen things that happen in the kitchen before customers receive their food. In my case, when I worked for Panera, a coworker of mines got into a heated argument with a customer over the time it would take to complete her order. As a result my former co-worker wiped the customer’s bagel on the floor and served as if nothing happened. This article sheds light on a app called whisper, that allows former and or current restaurant workers to “anonymously share their most honest thoughts, to share the gross things they see and do on a daily basis…

    Magtadt defines liberals has typically holding civil rights close to heart.

Not only did she refer to slavery as” stupid shit” but she still hasn't taken initiative to what she said in the skit and apology to African American women whose ancestors had to experience rape, sexual abuse and forced marriage.

    In his letter to the president-elect on October 12, 2008, Michael Pollan criticizes the American food industry, food related health issues, the lack of attention paid to food in the campaign, the lack of attention to the issue by politicians once they are in office. Food policy is not something elected officials give much thought to because there are far more important issues. Food was barely mentioned during the 2008 campaign because unlike education, social security, or the military, food is not an issue that most American voters care about. His arguments about food production and health are not convincing.…

    In David Zinczenko’s Don’t Blame the Eater article, he blames the fast-food industry for starting the rising obesity problem because of the failure of providing the facts and warnings labels about their high calorie junk food to the consumers. Zinczenko argues that kids are drawn by the cheap, high-calorie junk food that the fast-food chains like McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or Pizza Hut are happy to supply because with lots of parents working all day, they do not have time to check what their children are eating. For Example, the author David Zinczenko states that when he was a little boy, his mother would always be away at work, so he would eat Taco Bell, McDonald’s, and at other places every day, and he ended up obese.…

    In today’s American Society, people yearn for quick and healthful meals. According to food research firm Technomic, 47 percent of Americans say they want healthier fast food options, but only about 23 percent actually order them (Sniegowski). An individual often subconsciously orders foods that look enticing in pictures or from companies that declare false information about the food in the advertisements; this enables fast food chains to operate profitably. A good fast food restaurant chain should have clean, simple and quality food with prices that can be affordable on the daily. Usually fast food Mexican restaurants are cheap and seem enticing but the food doesn’t meet the standards of nutritious and qualitative meals. In contrast Chipotle is a Mexican-style fast food restaurant that specializes in using meat that is obligated to satisfy the strict protocol for the treatment of animals.
