#1. Spriggs has convinced me that this topic matters by using multiple reliable sources, sharing opinions and providing facts. Along with, background information and comparisons between bug and smaller farms. She establishes the importance of her topic by using those comparisons and making it relatable and reasonable to a large group of people everywhere.
#2. The author considers the opinion of labor costs. She explains that locally grown food is usually more expansive than industrial grown food. Which is usually because of labor costs. She responds by examining what happens to that money. How it stays in the local economy instead of being shipped all around.
#3. I think that the most effective part of the essay is the conclusion. She does a great job of giving a summary while still leaving in impact. It does have persuasive parts to it. She provides an explicit position, background information, and most importantly relates well to values. She appeals to emotional values, ethical values, and logical values very well.
#4. In the essay there are multiple pictures, and I think that it helps with the overall message. They all show things that are part of the farm business, but also that people have seen. They each have a take on each side, for example the picture of the semis give a negative point while the picture of the organic squash is more positive.
