Great Famine

Foer in "Let Them Eat Dog" suggests that to solve hunger, individuals within society should eat the millions of dogs that are going to be euthanized in shelters. In Johnathan Swift 's argument, "A Modest Proposal", he suggests that Ireland combat the famine during that time by using the surplus of children as a food source. "Let Them Eat Dog" and "A Modest Proposal" are arguments written satirically to inform society of a historically long problem, indifference. Foer and Swift call upon society…

What they do not know though, is that they have been eating bugs all of their lives. In the United States of America the Food and Drug Administration, also known as the FDA, runs the show when it comes to protecting the health of its citizens. One of the many topics that they govern over is the safety of food consumed. This is important because the FDA is forgiving when…

Statistics flashed across a screen, solemn music accompanied a slideshow of scenes showing desolate landscapes and impoverished communities. On screen, a mother held her starving child and a group of girls in mismatched clothes gathered water from a muddy well.
