Having Faith

I am going to talk about the substance in the essay Having Faith. The author uses evidence such as facts, statistics, quotations, and even some of her own life experiences to contrary her purpose to the reader. One example of a quote from the essay is from 1996 “Breast milk if regulated like infant formula, would commonly violate Food and Drug Administration action levels for poisonous or deleterious substances in food and could not be sold.” From her own experience that she brings up to help prove how important the topic is when they started pulling eggs off the grocery store shelf because it was infected. As the time went by they started pulling, all meat, milk, and butter too for the same reasons. One supporting detail that stuck out to me was the one where she listed the side effects of the chemical dioxide. She used the emotional approach by mentioning the treble side effects it can have on an unborn child.
