The use of rhetoric is incredible and I am always looking for the ways the author uses ethos, pathos, and logos as I read. There were a few passages that I really enjoyed so here are a few! (Sorry there are so many...)

"More than any set of practices, factory farming is a mind-set: reduce production costs to the absolute minimum and systematically ignore or "externalize" such costs as environmental degradation, human disease, and animal suffering. For thousands of years, farmers took their cues from natural processes. Factory farming considers nature an obstacle to be overcome" (34).

"Common Farming Exemptions make legal any method of raising farmed animals so long as it is commonly practiced within the industry. In other words, farmers - corporations is the right word - have the power to define cruelty. If the industry adopts a practice - hacking off unwanted appendages with no painkiller, for example, but you can let you imagination run with this - it automatically becomes legal"(51).

"Most simply put, someone who regularly eats factory-farmed animal products cannot call himself an environmentalist without divorcing that word from its meaning"(59).

"BULLSHIT
1) The shit of a bull (see also: ENVIRONMENTALISM)
2) Misleading or false language and statements, such as:
FREE RANGE
Applied to meat, eggs, dairy, and every now and then even fish (tuna on the range?), the free-range label is bullshit. It should provide no more peace of mind than 'all-natural,' 'fresh,' or magical.' To be considered free-range, chickens raised for meat must have 'access to the outdoors,' which, if you take those words literally, means nothing...The USDA doesn't even have a definition of free-range for laying hens and instead relies on producer testimonials to support the accuracy of these claims...One can reliably assume that most 'free-range' (or 'cage-free') laying hens are debeaked, drugged, and cruelly slaughtered once 'spent'. I could keep a flock of hens under my sink and call them free-range"(61).

Existential (adj.) : of or relating to existence.

The classical Greeks focused on the more existential questions about life.

Gastronomic (adj.) : of or relating to food and cookery, especially the art of good eating.

My gastronomic desires were met as I ate the million dollar cake. ]]> 2016-09-30 01:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ryhshek/wy7b4v696yod/wish/127424014 ryhshek https://padlet.com/ryhshek/wy7b4v696yod/wish/127425610 2016-09-30 01:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ryhshek/wy7b4v696yod/wish/127425610 ryhshek https://padlet.com/ryhshek/wy7b4v696yod/wish/127425711 2016-09-30 01:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ryhshek/wy7b4v696yod/wish/127425711 ryhshek https://padlet.com/ryhshek/wy7b4v696yod/wish/127426195 2016-09-30 01:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ryhshek/wy7b4v696yod/wish/127426195 ryhshek https://padlet.com/ryhshek/wy7b4v696yod/wish/127426593 2016-09-30 01:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ryhshek/wy7b4v696yod/wish/127426593
