Does Regulation Actually Work?

Like I said earlier, my topic is on whether or not food regulation actually helps to protect the consumer and the product. So far I've had a pretty easy time finding articles and reliable sources to build up my argument. I've been able to really find out the truth behind our nation's food regulation system and the flaws it has. A lot of things go unnoticed behind the scenes, things we wouldn't expect. For example, one thing I've learned thus far is that most genetically modified products are classified as "substantially equal" to natural crops and therefore do not require inspection or testing.
The biggest challenge I'm having right now is finding a way that my information flows nicely and doesn't sound off or jumbled. Like I mentioned at the beginning of my post I have good sources but I still need a couple more to ensure that my paper if filled with good supportive information. I also need to finish writing a couple more paragraphs because I'm at five right now but I know that over the weekend I'll definitely be writing and working on completing all the notebook work.
Overall, its really fun to be able to find out so much about our food even though at times it may be somewhat gross. If anyone finds an article relating to food-borne illnesses and regulation I would really appreciate it if you could send it my way! I hope you're all doing well on your research ans if you guys need help finding articles I'll be more than happy to share some of the ones I've found. :)

  1. I'm glad that your paper is coming along. Like you, I need to start working on the notebook work. I really don't want to start it, but it needs to get done. I don't know how I am going to find twelve sources for this research log. I only have around nine right now. I guess I should start looking for more.

  2. I actually went to Fletcher to see how my paper was coming along because I know I word things weird or don't make sense. Your topic is something I have never thought about happening and it is crazy to think that there are so many things unnoticed about the food we eat. As far as your paragraphs for your paper, it is good you are that far along already! Im happy for you!
