The pleasures of eating (rhetorical analysis)
Author, Wendell Berry, in this article "The Pleasures of Eating," Discusses how us as humans don't pay attention to the things we eat. He writes this article to try to explain his answer to many people's question, "what can city people do?" This question refers to the decline of American and farming. After he's answered that question he's felt that there were many more things he could have said to the people ,He does that by writing This article, he adopts a strong tone in order to get others to understand his ideal feelings about the food we eat.
Berry begins with the proposition that eating is an agricultural act. He points out how humans don't think of food as an agricultural product, they don't even think of themselves as participants in agriculture. He then joins in the fact that we humans think of ourselves as consumers and if not than they're passive consumers. The condition of the passive consumer of food is not a democratic condition. One reason to eat responsibly is to live free. He then moves to industrial sex and how industrial eating has become a degraded, poor, and paltry thing like sex. Many people don't think about what they're eating, most of them do not know about the farming and where there food comes from, we don't know, where the farms are, how well it has been taken care of, or what knowledge of skills are involved in farming, they just buy because they see it and it attracts their eyes. He then goes on to express how apparently these urban people have little doubt that farms will continue to produce, but they do not know how or over what obstacles. This explanation helps many understand that the things we eat can harm us because we do not pay attention to the manufacturing.
Berry then concludes with ways on how to eat responsibly which is, to understand and enact, this makes it complex relationship. These are the ways he thinks we can eat responsible which I agree with fully. He would like us
