Spriggs analysis questions

1. Yes, Katherine Spriggs has convinced me that the topic of growing and buying foods locally's advantaged out weight the disadvantages. She established her importance by relating her topic to world problems and how small things could impact the world globally in a very significant way. She also have many citations and references, which gave her a more powerful stance and showed that she worked and studied hard in this topic. 

2. Spriggs considers many counter arguments such as not having fruits during every season, she pointed out many global effects and how it will be bad for the nations economy. She responds by saying how we would cherish the fruits more when they are not available every season and that they will taste better growing in certain areas. Also, she argues that if the people of the United States would show their commitment on buying local, it could open up new conversations about environmentalism. Lastly, she argued that local farms hire local workers and brings profits to small rural communities. 

3. A selection of Spriggs essay that I found especially effective was the selection where she talk about global effects. I found this especially effective because she put it into a world perspective and thought very critically about what she said and I could tell she put a lot of thought into her thoughts and ideas she incorporated. 

4. Spriggs incorporated two photos that I thought were especially intruding. The photos of the small polyculture  farm and the other of the monoculture farm. I thought this was interesting because it put into perspective the difference between a small and big farm.
