In approximately one paragraph, defend one position, then refute the other. Or take a position somewhere between them and explain your point of view. In The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Michael Pollan quotes a food industry executive, Gene Kahn, regarding our food choices: “This is just lunch for most people. Just lunch. We can call it sacred, we can talk about communion, but its just lunch.” In Just Food, James McWilliams “offer(s) a vision of sustainability that assumes that, as socially conscious consumers, we’re prepared to take on more complexity in the quest to achieve an environmentally responsible diet.”
