Cooking is not a topic Rebecca is comfortable with and she is bold with her attitudes towards it. "I hate cooking", the stress on the word "hate" shows how strongly she feels about this topic.

My grandfather cooked when my father would watch him from the kitchen table, as my father learned he would try to teach me how to cook. I wasn’t really interested. It didn’t quite catch my attention; all I wanted to do is play outside, like other kids my age. One day I saw my dad cutting onions and the way he would cut them. It was amazing how fast he was moving the knife and cutting the onion. It almost looked like a cartoon the way he was cutting the onions and all the other vegetables. The knife looked like if it had like a laser underneath the blade. How quickly he was cutting the onion and the other vegetable’s he was cutting, then there is where I told my dad, I wanted to learn how to cook. Playing outside really didn’t matter to me anymore. All I wanted to do is to learn how to cook. My friends would come over and ask if I wanted to go play outside, but I would tell them that I was grounded. That was a lie, just so I can stay in inside to help my father and to learn more. That’s the way me and my dad bonded or father and son time. Finally after watching my dad how to cut and cook I got my chance to hold the knife. I was about the age of ten when I wanted to learn how to cook. I was really young I really didn’t know how to read that quite well, but I was really eager to learn. I wasn’t like other ten year olds wanting to learn different things like painting, drawing, building sand castles...

...scare tactics to change the viewer’s opinion, which is not the best way to create strong, lasting change in a society. One of the main images Food Inc. uses to convey this fear is the immorality of corporations and their willingness to exploit farmers and nature to raise profits. The film showed how Monsanto, who almost has a monopoly on the soybean, was trying to shut down seed cleaners and had a no-sell list for farmers that cause them trouble. According to Food Inc., Monsanto had pressured Congress to create laws that would allow them to sue anyone who had their genetically modified soybeans blow into their fields, making it almost impossible for farmers to grow the soybean without purchasing Monsanto’s product. However, outside research show that this is not the case; there has not been a case where Monsanto sued someone for just having crops blow into their field, but they have sued someone who had 95% of their field planted with their soybeans. This one incorrect piece of information undermines the ethos of the film, making the viewer question the rest of the extreme claims presented in the...
