\nComments on my first draft by my teacher:<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nOverall flow of ideas is great. Your thesis could be refined to be more
\nof a statement than a walkthrough. See my comment in your text for rough
\nsuggestion. In terms of your content, there is some repetition (like at the end
\nwhen you revisit the corporate influence stuff you\u2019ve already said), and I
\nthink that some of your evidence could be more specific. Give examples,
\ndetails, stats\u2026there is so much in the Michael Pollan paper, the Kremer-Sadlik
\npaper, and Arnade has some specific stats on the amount of time spent eating.
\nBE SURE that you have parenthetical (author year) citations for EVERY sentence
\nthat is not from your own head. I also wasn\u2019t sure what the Fieldhouse paper
\nyou kept referring to was\u2026that wasn\u2019t one of our course readings\u2026 <\/span><\/p>\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n1.<\/span>OKAY! So after reading, I think this flow of ideas works well but your thesis statement could be simpler. I don\u2019t think you need to walk through the things you\u2019re going to cover. Just make a statement. Something like: \u201cCorporate influence on food culture in the United States has led to a public health crisis (or mention obesity\/chronic disease??). To combat this, we can learn from immigrant communities and others with strong traditional food cultures.\u201d (OR SOMETHING like that).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n2. <\/span>Don\u2019t forget parenthetical (author year) citations throughout!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n3. <\/span>Could use more of a case in the body of your paper about why we should care about this.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/div>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
