RHETORICAL ANALYSIS AND SUMMARY 2

Part 1 (101 Review)

The primary purpose of the publication seems to be more centered on providing an

insight into the issue of the lack of a food policy that would see the improved health and food

sustainability in America. The authors aim at looking into the areas that make food and

agriculture are essential sectors to economic growth, health sustainability, and environmental

wellbeing (Bittman et al., 2014). The main concern is that the government have completely

overlooked the importance of implementing and enforcing food policy that will not only save

millions of American from food-related threat as such as obesity and food waste but also the

nations soil, land and the economy (Bittman et al., 2014). These factors are clear from not only

the article’s title but also its thesis.

Throughout the text, the authors seem to base their arguments of the identifiable effects

of a failed system that overlooked a critical yet fundamental factor as far as food security and

sustainable agriculture, economy and environmental safety is concerned. For instance, the

authors point out that the American food system and the diet it has created have led to

immeasurable harm to the health of the nation’s citizens, and its environment (Bittman et al.,

2014). The authors also have purposefully provided an outline of the different ways in which the

current food system could integrate as a way of attaining a food policy that will save the lives of

millions of Americans as compared to its current provisions (Bittman et al., 2014). This is a

better way of doing away with unhealthy diets, which for the past 100 years have reversed the

progress and efforts of improving public health, environmental sustainability, economic growth,

and lifespan.
