    'Blame Sugar' By Alan Levinovitz

    In the article, “Blame Sugar? We’ve been doing that for over 100 years” by Alan Levinovitz, Levinovitz builds an argument to persuade the audience that the dangers of sugar consumption may be overstated and the audience need to reconsider the best way to deal with the issue of sugar consumption. Levinovitz supports his argument by using the features of evidence and facts. He also does this by connecting his claims to the evidence given. Thirdly, Levinovitz uses a very stylistic writing that makes the audience want to read more and side with him on the argument.…

    Sugar Dbq

    Sugar was so high in consumer demand and addicting that in certain areas an average person would consume sixteen pounds a year. Evidence of this is shown in document G. The document conveys the annual per capita consumption ( in pounds ) from the year 1700 to the year 1770 in England. When analyzing document C, readers realize that the high amount of consumption is due to sugar’s highly addictive property. This document written by Benjamin Moseley, M.D. in the year 1800 states, “¬¬¬The increased consumption of sugar, and increasing demand for it, exceeded all comparison with any other article, used as an auxiliary, in food: for, such is the influence of sugar, that once touching the nerves of taste no person was ever known to have the power of relinquishing the desire for it.” As mentioned previously in the quote, sugar was used as a auxiliary in food, most likely as a sweetener, due to sugar’s sweet properties. Evidence is shown in document F when it reads, “Sugar as sweetener came to the force in connection with three other exotic imports – tea, coffee, and chocolate.” Document F, written by Sydney F. Mintz 1985, when further read mentions that all three of the tropical imports began as British competition, and the presence of them all (including sugar) affected their fate (to some extent). Meaning, that as long as sugar was used as a sweetener for these goods (and most likely others as well) and the goods were still in demand, then their success would be constant. In other words, they are proportional to one another, sugar and its complimentary goods were dependent on each other for their success.…

    Most people across the globe are familiar with the savory, and occasionally bitter, treat that has made its way into households’ pantries over the ages.

Frydenborg takes her audience on a journey throughout the different stages chocolate has gone through over time, from the discovery of the cocoa beans, to the creation of the first milk chocolate bar.

    Consumer demand was another main component of advancing the sugar trade. In Document 4, the author Sidney W.

    What Food Say About Class In America By Lisa Miller Analysis

    Food has become part of our social status. Those who have money get to enjoy healthy organic options, while those who live on food stamps and low incomes get sugary packaged foods that are harmful to the body. In “What Food says about Class in America,” Lisa Miller effectively captures the American people’s attention through descriptive imagery, alluring metaphors, and repetitive facts but fails to convince her target audience of the food corporations that a change is needed. Even though her argument is persuasive to some, it fails to fulfil its intended purpose of bringing change by convincing those who control the market to make the change.…

    Personal Narrative: Tootsie Roll

    Growing up, candy was a prize. Maybe it was because my dad didn’t want to waste money on artificial sweeteners. Sure, my friends had candy, but my father never encouraged a love of candy. Thus, was the reason I grew up not caring much for sweet candy. My dad and I migrated to the U.S. shortly before I turned five. Here, I discovered a vast variety of candy; much more diverse that in Trinidad. There are brand names and new flavors I had not heard of.…

    Sweetness and Power

    With such an obsession with sweet foods, there is an obvious desire for an explanation of how such a once unknown substance took center stage on everybody’s snack, dessert, and candy list. That’s where Sidney W. Mintz comes into play. He decided to write this book Sweetness and Power, and from the looks of all the sources he used to substantiate his ideas and data, it seems that he is not the first person to find the role that sugar plays in modern society important. By analyzing who Mintz’s audience is meant to be, what goals he has in writing this book, what structure his book incorporates, what type,…
