Pathos-"But New Zealand lamb is raised on pastures with a small carbon footprint, whereas most English lamb is produced under intensive factory-like conditions with a big carbon footprint"(McWilliams).
Logos-"The average American eats 273 pounds of meat a year. Give up red meat once a week and you'll save as much energy as if the only food miles in your diet were the distance to the nearest truck farmer."(McWilliams).]]> 2017-11-27 15:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210456104 cdea_mexico_us https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210456243 Claim of fact: Buying locally actually affects the global economy.  
Evidence: "it's also true that a campaign to shame English consumers with small airplane stickers affixed to flown-in produce threatens the livelihood of 1.5 million sub-Saharan farmers" (McWilliams).
Warrant: By buying locally, the farmers in other parts of the world lose their business because the source of income isn't coming to them. This could result in the workers losing their jobs.]]> 2017-11-27 15:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210456243 cdea_mexico_us https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210456607 Opposing Argument-Locally buying food would help the farmers that are local, therefore it would help everyone.
Rebuttal-Although it does help the local farmers, it does leave the far away farmers with nothing, making no profit off of anything.
This counter argument is very effective because it totally rules out locavore thinking on this topic.]]> 2017-11-27 15:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210456607 cdea_mexico_us https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210457095 "To take an extreme example, a shipper sending a truck with 2,000 apples over 2,000 miles would consume the same amount of fuel per apple as a local farmers who takes a pickup 50 miles to sell 50 apples at his stall at the green market"(McWilliams).
This is a straw man fallacy because he uses a over simplified example to validate his point]]> 2017-11-27 15:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210457095 cdea_mexico_us https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210457179 His bias is that he is more comnected with the economy giving him a for financial and economical lens. Therefore he will focus more on things relating to money. He will also go for anything that would benefit him and finances.]]> 2017-11-27 15:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210457179 cdea_mexico_us https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210952801 Claim of value: Removing meat from your diet will decrease the carbon footprint.
Evidence: "It takes 6 pounds of grain to make a pound of chicken and 10 to 16 pounds to a pound of beef"(McWilliams).
Warrant: It takes less resources to grow organic foods than to produce meat. This will save energy and the environment.]]> 2017-11-28 15:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210952801 cdea_mexico_us https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210957041 Claim of fact: The distance doesn't matter, but what you are getting by the mile matters.
Evidence: "a shipper sending a truck with 2,000 apples over 2,000 miles would consume the same amount of fuel per apple as a local farmer who takes a pickup 50 miles to sell 50 apples at his stall at the green market"(McWilliams).
Warrant: The food is what matters and what we get from those miles needs to benefit us rather than hurt us.]]> 2017-11-28 15:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cdea_mexico_us/dxdcffyvkucf/wish/210957041
