Third assignment


Since my topic is food irradiation my audience would be consumers of potential irradiated food. My subject is timely because there's a constant struggle with proper food preparation. You always see in the news about how E. coli or salmonella has been found in different food item. I wouldn't really say I'm invested in this topic is just an issue that is extremely debatable and was recently brought to my attention.

I assume that high school teachers thought that if we included first-person pronouns in our paper and we are surely to also include our own biases. Also as a high school student we were a less credible source for information. Apparently now that achieved a high school diploma we are able to receive some credit for our own bases of knowledge. I guess this is one of the rewards for college students, seeing that we made it past the stereotypes.

So far I have seen three different viewpoints, the first being pro food irradiation, and the second against irradiation both of which being is supplied by Jonathan Prejean. The third would be a completely neutral view which is given by the environmental protection agency.

This week I learned that possibly food irritation is a superior way of sanitizing compared to watching and heating. There are some forms of bacteria that can survive extreme he and also so-called antibacterial chemical. And just because a substance is packaged as antibacterial doesn't mean it kills all bacteria. For example hand sanitizer does not kill bacteria that can be found in your toilet like Serratia marcescens.
