Kat Saltarelli wrote a blog post about a food that she sometimes eats in its natural form, but while in college tends to be eating in its processed form. She is talking about corn, about how in the summer her family loves to grill out and eat delicious corn on the cob. Kat seems like she is a little upset and discouraged about the corn that she is forced to eat in the dining halls since it clearly is straight from a can and doesn’t taste as good as fresh corn.
Kat provides good evidence on why corn on the cob is better for you than corn from a can. She links to two sites that provide nutritional information for both canned corn and natural corn on the cob, which really adds credibility to her argument. Kat then links to an article that goes into the reasons why natural, unprocessed foods are better for your body. She says that she completely agrees with the article and thinks it is important for us to eat food in its natural state.
I think that Kat’s blog is very convincing. Most of us in class can relate to her story of getting corn on the cob at home and then getting canned corn here at school. I totally agree with her arguments that we don’t really know what we are putting into our bodies all the time, especially here at school when we eat what is given to us and what is convenient. She also makes the reader think about what they eat when they walk into the cafeteria and if it is really healthy. Sometimes it is hard to get away from fortified foods in this fast paced society, but making an extra effort to eat natural foods might be a benefit to your body.
