I find your topic to be very interesting. My family and I use to eat out at least once a week, but now we seldom go out. As a matter of fact, anytime I have bought out in the last few months we ended up getting sick the next day. None of it sounds good anymore. We all seem to have more energy these days as well.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a good outline and have very good important points that you plan to cover in your essay.
DeleteYou raise some excellent points in your outline. I do not see, however, the opposing side. I think one opposing argument is not only convience, but the expense of buying organic or cooking at home, (time with all sorts of extra curricular activities, etc.). We definitely try to eat in as more of a money saver than anything else. Going out gets expensive! If you tweak that information and insert the opposing views, I think that will strengthen your argument in the long run.
