Essay 2 Ideas

When most people say that technology causes problems, they usually mean that the people who used or develop the technologies are causing the problems. When we try to find out the source or the problems of technology, it is always about the problem of people. However, when most people ignore the downside of what the technologies will bring to us and use them without thinking, then, the technologies can be harmful to us. In this essay, I am going to focus on the affect of food technology bring to us when we keep using technology the way we usually do. My position in this paper is against because of three reasons.

First, food technology limits our food choice. It changes the food ingredient so much that makes us harder to choose the nature foods. Second, it has bad affect on our health. Some studies told us that the chemicals in the processed food can increase the chance of developing allergies, heart attack and cancer. Third, food technology is also changing our environment. For example, biotechnology has been used to change the genes of chicken; in the other word, it is changing our food chain. The result of that is still unknown.

I am going to add more examples from the King's Novel, Battle Field and Jaunt, and more statistics about different food technology in this essay. I am thinking to come up with some better reasons or main points to support my thesis.

Please give me any comment or suggestion whether you agree with my topic or not : )

I think this is a pretty fresh take on what's getting to be a stale subject. I never would've thought of food technology, but it's absolutely valid. Congrats on thinking outside the box.

With that said, how are you going to incorporate examples from King's stories into a paper about food tech? I'd be very interested in seeing how this paper turns out! =D

I totally agree! Technology is affecting our food in a very bad way! Its interesting to see what your particular viewpoint is and I would be interested in reading your essay.

i think this is a good topic, back twenty years ago you wouldnt think that the food we eat everyday would be harmful but now its has become scary. the hormons injected in the animals that we eat have affected us. we have girls as young as 5 years old starting their cycle, and boys having to shave in middle school.
