    5. The apparent message is "let's-support-local-business", a kind of community boosterism. Butbuying close to home may be more than a feel-good,it's-worth-paying-more-for-local matter

      How would you describe Schwartz's "move" here? How does she shift the rhetoric of buying locally-produced and locally-sold goods?

    1. Hard to boutique that.

      Why does he end like this?

    2. I wonder if the 45.3 million Americans living beneath the poverty line—14.5% of the country’s population and almost 18% of North Carolina’s—agree.

      Agree with what? Is this an effective rhetorical device? Why or why not?

    3. To be sure, Big Agra has been linked to large-scale water depletion, to water and air pollution, even to rising levels of obesity. Yet the “negative externalities” are often exaggerated, such as when they don’t take into consideration the taxes these enterprises—or the taxes consumers of their foodstuffs—pay. In any event, it would be nice if critics acknowledged that inexpensive food frees income that is saved and invested, spent on other goods and on improving the environment and health.

      How would you describe the rhetorical "moves" that Coclanis makes in this paragraph?

    4. To many folk

      Who is the "they" here and what do they say? How does Coclanis shape his thoughts on this particular 'they'?

    5. It may not be politically correct to say so, but Big Agra is far more productive than are small “family farms,” particularly organic farms

      What is politically correct or not about that statement?

    6. spend less than 10% of their disposable income on food,

      Why do we spend so little? What are the counterarguments? (If you look any up, please cite them.)

    7. large, super-efficient enterprises

      What value assumptions does Coclanis make here? What counterarguments could reasonably be made?

    8. By trying to remind people that the U.S. is the economic power it is today in large part because of the historical success of its agricultural sector, which was organized along market lines almost from the start—directed by enterprising, commercially-minded farmers operating in a system that protected and promoted private property rights. For much of our history as well, federal and state governments supported agriculture by fostering and disseminating scientific knowledge, and by encouraging export markets. Governments have also generally sought to enhance the safety of food production and processing, and with them the reputation of American farmers and processors.

      Please paraphrase Coclanis's explanation of the U.S.A.'s history regarding agriculture.

    9. For Chapel Hill is the buckle of the Research Triangle foodie belt, a virtual Valhalla for hard-boiled locavores, iron-fisted organics, no-nonsense vegans, and determined devotees of slow food. Boutique farmers, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) groups, local farmers’ markets and pricey gourmet restaurants are in. “Factory” farms, fast food, dollar meals and supermarkets are out—at least among food snobs and “aware” students.

      What ideologies is Coclanis listing here? How does he describe them? How does his language reveal his bias, and why does he craft his bias in this particular way?

    1. at all.”

      I feel like this is a bit strongly worded

    2. food takes up the biggest share of the nation’s landfills—and contributes about 20 percent of the country’s methane emissions.

      here too they do not show where they got this information. No sites cited, no author.

    3. people regularly buy groceries from three to seven different stores.

      Yes, but some families may buy specific items from specific stores depending on prices and quality of the food. That doesn't necessarily mean they are more prone to overbuying? Where is this proven?

    4. As much as 40 percent of America’s food supply gets thrown away every day, with dairy, breads, meats, fruits, and vegetables leading the way

      I do agree with the author on the above statement. However things like rice, canned items, and protein powder have long shelf lives, and simply buying everything more often is a waste of time, and gas!

    5. Did these bulk store realize that by buying in bulk, people would be wasting more food?

    6. same-day food delivery services like AmazonFresh

      Curious to see how far this program reaches. Is it only available in major cities? Smaller cities? Suburbs?

    7. Just shop more often

      Instead of wasting money from throwing away food, are we expected to waste money on the gas needed to shop daily?

    8. France’s ban on grocery stores throwing out edible food,

      stores in America do this to (not all but some). I know for a fact the store i worked at before gave away most of their produce that they can't sell (bad or just will be bad) to the local food pantry / homeless shelter.

    9. 300 million gallons of oil each year.

      How many gallons would we be wasting by driving back and forth to the grocery store more often?

    10. “If you’re shopping more frequently, you can purchase food that is meant to be eaten in a shorter time frame.”

      But what about if you buy something that tends to go bad quickly (like fruits or vegetables)? You may be buying them for a couple days but they won't always get eaten in that time, therefore still having the issue with throwing the food out.

    11. Just shop more often

      There's also the factor of gas money and time to do this where some people don't have time to go multiple times a week and the money to go back and forth.

    12. The bulk stores know this—their whole business model is to trick us into buying more than we need

      Does this only concern perishable foods in regards to waste or food with a very long if not indefinite shelf life as well?

    13. As much as 40 percent of America’s food supply gets thrown away every day,

      Is there a way to be more conscious about our own individual food waste? Commercials, reminders in the grocery store, etc.?

    14. But there’s a catch. Ligon’s research also revealed that people regularly buy groceries from three to seven different stores.

      Could we see the data they got this from?
