This scholarly article goes into depth about clean meat. It discusses how it’s cultured, created, produced and eventually sold. The authors break down the process to an atomic level to demonstrate what truly occurs compared to the mass production of regular meat. This will aid me in the understanding of clean meat and much of an improvement it is from the consumption of regular meat. Furthermore, it will test the hypothesis – “This investigation seeks to evaluate the life cycle energy use, global warming potential (GWP), eutrophication potential (EP), and land use associated with in vitro biomass cultivation as an emerging food technology in the United States. It also compares the results to those of another speculative analysis of cultured biomass,3 as well as beef, pork, and poultry impacts from previously published studies” – and display the results through a matter of graphs and words as well to fully interpret the results. This will be essential to my paper as it describes the background of clean meat and prove why it is superior the gruesome production of all meats.

Unlike the previous source, this contains an historical background of clean meat despite its recent development. The author does a good job of saying where the idea was implemented such as in various restaurants and areas. He states how it has affected their business and if they like the concept, they continue utilizing clean meat. It does also have a thorough explanation of what clean meat is and breaks down the process as well, so it can be used to cross-check with the previous journal to make sure it’s correct. Moreover, this article contains a more simplified understanding compared to the previous source because the journal may be too hard to understand if they are not specialized in the area. Additionally, instead of purely interpreting the results like the journal, this combines holistic conclusions to clean meat in general, listing its benefits by categories such as sustainability and environmental benefits. Although this proves to be a revolutionary idea, he faces the consequences of implementing a costly project. Clean meat, which is grown in labs, needs many resources and to have access to those resources, a lot of money is needed. The author expands on this to show a counterargument to convincing idea.

Notable Experience, Prickles and Goo

      The first day I went without my phone was excruciating. My phone habits become even stronger when I do homework because I become the most distracted and bored then. I would instinctively reach for my phone when I want a mini break, but I would have to stop my mind and my hand from reaching it. The thing is, I would want to take a mini break quite often. If I was stuck on a question, I would want to scroll through my Instagram. If I answered a question to my heart’s content, I would open my Snapchat and reply to my streaks.       According to the CNN article, “Smartphone addiction could be changing your brain,” it elaborates the different ways your phone could be affecting your brain. At one point, Dr. Max Wintermark, a Stanford neuroradiologist, “Altogether, this means that if you are too dependent on your smartphone, you are basically damaging your ability to be attentive.”       If I had read this article earlier before the expe...

Inquiry Essay Topic

When I was at home, my parents would always yell at me that I’m on my phone way too much. But to be honest, I really wasn’t, I would check my phone three or four times to just check my notifications. Furthermore, after college started this year, my four-year-old phone started lagging and stopped supporting older versions of my social media apps which discouraged me from checking my phone. Once I slowly started dropping hints to my parents that my phone was preventing me from communicating and having access to some key apps, they surprised me with a brand-new phone that I instantly fell in love with. And because of that, I couldn’t take my hands off the slim, curved reflective device.             I noticed myself getting a little out of control and my parents had a gut feeling that I would. So, before I left to come back from Labor Day weekend, my dad told me that the best way is to have control over your phone and not have the p...

Radical Honesty

Firstly, this paper does a good job of explaining her topic. She eases the reader in with a decent hook, then introduces her personal issue to tackle. She explains elaborately with outside sources to show that it is a valid problem to fix for herself, and it would be beneficial in the end for others to follow what she did as well.             She also explains what she will do in her experiment fairly well. Although the instructions are simple – not to tell white lies and fight her impulse to – she recounts her difficult experiences that had trouble telling her complete truth.             One of the things I mainly liked was her story telling ability. Additionally she was able to recall an atypical situation that you wouldn’t think of, such as when she ended up being completely honest with her ex, and decided to room with him. Like, no one, including her, would expect that...
