ITT we help write a little paper for 180digi's biology class

[180digi]

Its a short little assignment thats not worth a whole lot of points, but here it is. We've been doing a unit on cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and how organisms use food.

"Top Ten" Label Countdown - Listings of the 'top ten' always grab reader interest. Creatively adapt their 'best ten' reasons for reading a food label for an attention-grabbing article in the school paper or for a cafeteria poster.

So basically i need to think up ten reasons why it's a good idea to read the labels on food, and list them from least to greatest relevence. Heres what I got so far, it's an intro paragraph.




The Top Ten – Ten Reasons You Should Read Food Labels.

These days, people live very busy lives. We’re always on the go. One-Hour Photo? That’s 59 minutes too many. Fast food? It’s not fast enough! In the case of foods, most people lead such busy existences that they rarely take the time to examine and understand the ‘grub’ we’re shoving down our throats. One easy way to see what kind of foods that you’re eating is looking at the label. Some people may say that it’s pointless, but really, there are many good reasons to do just that. Presenting: the Top Ten Reasons To Read Food Labels.



So far i've got two reasons. One being that you should read the labels for your own safety, incase there may be something in the food that you're allergic to. The other being that reading the labels on foods will help the conscientious person make better descisions about the foods they eat. So if anyone could help me think of more reasons for this, I would be thankful.

Thanks ddrruler, that's 4 reasons.

Cmon everybody, I have to have this and several other assignments in by monday! :cry:

Hahaha, you asked for help in TGB.
You're going to fail.

I've done it before, and i got a decent grade on it last time.

The problem is i dont think one of my biology papers is Chit Chat worthy unless its a big one.

[lord_carbo]

How about to make better food choices when comparing foods "that look the same", as for example trying to eat more natural foods more often

Iono, I try. I Ph41l, but I try.

XD TGB homework help

Uhh... how about: it is essential if the person in question has a condition like diabetes, where they have to watch their sugar intake. Or...

To make sure you're not eating expired food.

The Top Ten – Ten Reasons You Should Read Food Labels.

These days, people live very busy lives. We’re always on the go. One-Hour Photo? That’s 59 minutes too many. Fast food? It’s not fast enough! In the case of foods, most people lead such busy existences that they rarely take the time to examine and understand the ‘grub’ we’re shoving down our throats. One easy way to see what kind of foods that you’re eating is looking at the label. Some people may say that it’s pointless, but really, there are many good reasons to do just that. Presenting: the Top Ten Reasons To Read Food Labels.

Fix that up a bit. A paper is as good as it's Introduction/Conclusion. change "but really" to something like "but in reality" and change 'many good reasons' to "numerous excellent reasons to counter that opinion" or "numerous reasons in response to that" or something like that. I dunno how your teacher is on papers, considering its biology, but i was always taught to not introduce your topic directly, like "now i will tell you how to blah blah" or "which is why im going to tell you..." you kinda did that by saying "Presenting: the top10 reasons to read food labels." It's valid and understandable, but unless you're going to do a presentation on this, i would avoid stating that. Your thesis statement (i hope you know what that is) should be the last sentence in your intro, and clearly it isn't. Hell, i don't even see a thesis statement, unless its that pointless-reasons sentence. Unless it's the only thing you can think of, leave it. Don't go stressing out about it. Thats about it. Now..

a reason I actually read food labels is to see the % daily value of what i'm consuming, based on the standard 2000 calorie diet. It varies among people, so understanding the % of the daily value could help people categorize the amount of a certain vitamin(or others) they need to consume, based on their given diet.

So you don't eat poison on accident.

So you don't accidentally eat something that had poison put in it.

So you don't accidnetally drink/eat caffine right before bed.

See if stuff is spicy or not.

[dancingmaniac3]

i lol'd at the last reason fish gave.

I can't tell you how many times I was about to buy my Hydrocyanocookies when I looked at the ingredients and saw that they contain arsenic...

Oh, wah wah wah- I have to read, and basically annotate the first two thirds of Jack Weatherford's 'Genghis Khan and the making of the modern world', and a whole section of Stearn's AP World History 3.

[GuidoHunter]

Oh wah wah wah- I have to write a fifteen page research paper on anything related to pseudoscience by Wednesday.

I would love to be writing about Genghis Khan right about now.

Well, it isn't really a big humongous(sp?) paper you see, it's supposed to be something that you can use in a school newspaper like it said in the directions. So I guess I will change some of it, but I don't think the school's newspaper has articles with thesis statements in them.

To avoid potentially explosive chemical combinations occurring in your stomach.

So you don't get fat.

Because of the potential... I dunno lol

[esupin]

Your list seems too serious. We need to come up with some good ones.

If the label is misspelled, DO NOT EAT WHAT'S INSIDE IT (this actually happens quite frequently at Chinatown).
We’re always on the go. One-Hour Photo? That’s 59 minutes too many. Fast food? It’s not fast enough!
I'm pretty sure those lines are straight outta a commercial.[/quote]

[GuidoHunter]

They are, esupin.

And since I haven't said so elsewhere, your sig is ****in' sweet.

It's a good idea to read the label to make sure you're buying the correct product, correct type of product, or the correct flavour if it is edible.

Here's a good list:

Well we don't want that :shock:

But im done with the assignment now so you can let the thread die.

[Tokzic]

Did you use my "I dunno lol" point?

[JurseyRider734]

i think you are a son of a biscuit

[Yanah_God]

I think you're a son of a homosexual drunk rapist.

So is that Daddy1 or Daddy2?

Well, if you don't use that one you'll obviously fail.
