'Pink slime'

Reading Journal Entry

• The article I read was "'Pink Slime' distracts from food safety fight" by Brent Jones.
• The article talked about how the recent controversy of 'pink slime' blew up all over the media and distracted the government from focusing on more important issues involving the food industry.
• One thing I did like about the writer's technique was his use of bullet points. I feel that if you're really trying to get a point across without adding too much unnecessary information, bulleting is the way to go. Another thing I thought was a good idea was his use of hyperlinks. This is good for the reader to see sources of the information that the writer is relaying, and to find out more information on specific details of the article.
• I do recommend that people read this article mainly because the controversy of 'pink slime' was so widespread throughout the media, that people need to realize there's many more problems with the food industry. Another reason why is because the article points out that this 'pink slime', although a gross thought, is proven to be more safe than most other raw meat.
