In his post, Chris describes how food is important because it helps to sustain us and provides nutrients to help our bodies perform everyday tasks. He continues on to describe how he likes to eat fresh fruit, especially apples, but it is a bit hard to do this when living in a dorm. This is due to the fact that fresh apples can be a bit expensive, and that they do not keep for very long. So instead, Chris has resorted to drinking apple juice more often. Even though Chris now gets a supplement for the apples he enjoys, he still tries to eat fresh ones whenever possible because they hold more nutrients and less sugar then the juice form. Chris even provides a link to a website providing information on how the overall nutrient levels of different foods decrease the more processed they become.
I agree with what Chris is written. Overall, apples are a nutritious and delicious food, but it makes more sense to keep them in juice form when living in a dorm due to expenses, space, and the fact that apple juice lasts longer than fresh apples. Unfortunately, for our convenience this also means having to take in more sugar and less nutrients.
Chris makes a compelling argument by describing exactly why he made the switch and backs up why the fresh apple would be better for him overall by using examples from Pollan’s book and from his web link. Both help to reinforce what Chris is saying and help to make the reader agree more easily. Overall, I would say that this blog is well written and convincing.
