  This border is not linear or hard... it has kind of an organic shape (No punn intended). It looks like a cornucopia. Also, the fuzzy edges makes it feel like the fruit and veggies have a halo. They look nummy.

  I have gone through the text and highlighted blue the points that I find appeal to my emotion in a negative manner (fear, anger or unhappiness). These points use pathos by appealing to negative emotions regarding any product that is not deemed organic.

  This is also the beginning of a number of facts that they use to back up some of their claims. I wish they had included references for some of these facts. It would provide more umph for their argument

  I have gone through and highlighted all the points that appeal to my happy emotions. I notice that there are more scary blue text than happy green text on the page.

  I'm not sure what they plan to do with this large empty space on the side... it seems unsettling in the design of the web page.

  I was wondering why the authors chose purple for their background. It doesn't seem very much like a back to earth kind of color. After doing a little research on the color purple it makes a little sense. Purple is associated with good judgement, peace of mind and people seeking spiritual fullfilment. Also, it has been associated with magic, mystery and royalty. I'm not certain but I would think people willing to pay extra for organic food would be trying to make a good judgement and spiritula fullfillment maybe?

In addition, irrigating large tracts of land is increasing soil salinity resulting in the decommissioning of farm land worldwide

  This is actually true. I didn't know until recently that overhead watering can increase salinity in soil. This happens because small particles in the water, such as salt, are concentrated when the water evaporates before it seeps into the ground. Again, I wish they had cited this fact.

  Their question is short and sweet and right up front for the reader to see immediately. I think that was well done.

  They have drawn attention to their main points nicely by making them bold and a larger font.
