Well Sourced
June 4, 2020
An excellent examination by a noted journalist of a long contentious subject in a storied publication. The Author does a splendid job of sticking to the straight and narrow in unpacking the narrative. No whining, crudely accusatory or inflammatory rhetoric. Merely a calm and deliberate discussion on the referenced subject matter. Very intimate in the sense that the reader feels as if the Writer is speaking directly to them. Also, and decidedly in the plus column, the piece is a philosophical rumination of sorts on aliment. Intellectual food for thought, so to speak. In the context of these rapidly changing times this work is particularly relevant. An indubitably worthwhile read. Four stars!

This piece wanders around a great deal without making any substantial points, and cites articles from other journalists as evidence instead of primary sources.
It tries to argue the system is too specialized and streamlined; no, wait, just meat and eggs are too streamlined and specialized; no, wait, the workers are infected with covid and overworked; no, wait, we are all more likely to get covid because soybeans and corn are too easy to produce and they make us obese and give us diabetes; no, wait, Trump was wrong for declaring a crisis in the food chain and sending workers back to produce food; no, wait, we should all just stop eating so much meat.
Whatever, make up your mind what the message is before you just vomit word soup on the page and quote bad news sites.
