michael mcardle on 01 Feb 12Nazeer, Kamran. "The politics of food." Renewal 15.2-3 (2007): 135+. Literature Resource Center. Web. 31 Jan. 2012. The author is telling about the use of government in food regulations in order to stop the people from listing to the government and listen to health professionals. The author supports his argument by talking about how the government wants to solve it and then an alternative solution that is believed to be more effective. Kamran Nazeer in his non-fictional informational article, "The politics of food" (2007), agues that the government should not be effective in people's health and should govern the country. The intended audience for the piece is the government itself, telling them what they should do. The article tells about how the government should not interfere with the common citizen's life and allow them to make decisions on their diets. Believing that it would give to much influential power to the government he decides to go against it and inform them they need to set up guidelines but not control. The author has good intentions on making the government less communist and not giving them more power but in the case of people's health is incorrect. The citizen's don't always make the best choice and could harm themselves and so the government should step in and help, not just be a dictatorship. The source will be used as an opposing view point to strengthen the augment and to provide outside views and how to defend against them.
