Five Times Magazine Analysis

Improved Essays
I have recently read five Times Magazine articles, and I have come to further my intelligence. I have learned about a lot of new ideas, how people react to these ideas, and if these ideas are good or bad for our human intellect. After examining human intelligence through reading these five Times Magazine articles, it is quite obvious that the world is experiencing new ideas and ways of living, but humanity has a unique form of intelligence which I will refer to as stubbornness. Therefore, does the average person care if there is cancer causing substances in processed meat, or whether there is a male or female on the 10 dollar bill? Many may argue that why would we let a computer system drive a car for us. Machines are going to be the …show more content…
After I read the article on how carcinogens are being found in processed meat, I began to think about how much meat I eat a day. I have come to relive that I normally eat a type of processed meat at every meal. Jeffrey Kluger, an everyday writer for Times Magazine, wrote this about how we should watch what we eat and how we cook it. He catches the readers attention when he says sizzle because people immediately think of food and how good it smells and taste. "That sizzle signals trouble. Meat cooked at high heat can produce carcinogens." (The War on Deliciousness Pg 34) So all the restaurants that serve "Flaming burgers" or "Flaming Steaks" are putting its customers at risk of developing cancer. I find this very difficult to believe. Why are we only learning about this now. I believe that people should of studied this earlier in the generation of humans. Or maybe they did study this. Humans just don 't care. They would rather take the risk of developing cancer in the future for a delicious Big Mac at McDonalds. People risk there lives everyday just so there tastebuds are satisfied. We wonder why the obesity rate rises. People could care less what the researchers study and develop. These researches spent more than likely 4 plus years in school. The researchers get a good jobs spend thousands of dollars on research, yet the businessman is …show more content…
We can not make a person act or think in such a way. At the end of the day human understand that being a stubborn person is what they are, but they should listen to the ideas of people who are potentially saving their lives. After reading these Times Magazine articles, I have understood a lot more about the intellect of other humans. How they react to an idea or how quickly they are to judge a decision. Human should embrace the intelligence of others. Understand the facts that are presented to everyone and use them to an advantage. The world is becoming a smarter place day by

    However, if one were to only read the controversy over irradiated beef there’s other factors to process considering imagery’s impact on shaping public opinion about what they eat. In 1997 as Levin claims, “following the biggest beef recall in history the Department of Agriculture instituted new meat regulations, over objections of cattlemen and the meat industry.” (Gray, 28) It’s rather ironic how even new inspection procedures used to allay the early 1900s consumers' fears.

    Oblivious Eaters Society has a distorted view of food: What it is made out of, where it comes from and how it is grown or produced.

    The World Health Organization classified processed meats as a Group 1 carcinogen; meaning there is strong evidence that consuming excessive amounts of processed meat does cause cancer (Walker, 2012). At the start of World War II, pesticides were introduced into the American diet and have been stimulating the growth of existing tumors ever since. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Americans have over 100 toxic chemicals in their blood and urine, along with high levels of pesticide residue (Walker, 2012). These factors, combined with extremely decreased levels of physical activity, cause the death of 7.5 million people per year and continue to dumbfound a society desperate to change these outrageous statistics but puzzled on how to change their cancer-causing…

    The way the author uses such descriptive wording, such as how she describes the long gray veins in the meat that she spears with her fork (182), is a great way to make the reader have the vision of that hunk of meat in their minds. As a lifelong dog owner, Hodgman’s detailing of each brand she chooses and exactly what it looked and smelt like, brought back countless memories of opening dog food cans and that pungent smell hitting me, yuck. The essay just isn’t about a person’s decision to eat dog food, it’s true point is to inform the readers of just how false the advertising is for the food. What are meat by products?…
