counter argument

Is the U.S trying to help Colombians by signing a free trade agreement (FTA) with them? Some people may consider the agreement an opportunity for Colombians to purchase technology brand clothes and imported food for cheaper prices they are currently paying. Colombians and Americans politicians suggest that the FTA will create jobs and economic stability for Colombians, yet experience in the U.S. and abroad has shown that free-market policies lead to poverty for Colombian workers especially for Colombians farmers who will not be able to compete against the subsidized American products I strongly believe that this agreement should not be signed because it will take away the jobs of millions of Colombian farmers, it will bring American lab produced food to Colombia and it will ruin the current environment.

Super size me the best way to get fat, sick and depress in 30 days.

Anyone who has the inclination to eat fast food should watch this documentary. It follows Morgan Spurlock who goes on an all McDonalds diet for 30 days. Although the diet is extreme it makes a point that is hard to ignore. Prior to and during the course of this diet he monitors his health. I went into this documentary thinking it may be but another extreme view against greedy corporations but found this documentary to be fact based and balanced. Spurlock objectively examines a number of food industry issues in an entertaining and informative style. At times he had me laughing and at times he had me stunned. This documentary was very well done. Amazing look at what eating McDonald's food regularly does to harm your health and body. Before viewing this film, I knew fast food was not a healthy choice, but I had no idea that it could ruin your liver functions and cause such a widely diverse set of health problems. This film also shows how OUR elected officials are bought and sold by the food industry. No surprise there, but the fact that congress actually outlawed suing fast food companies over making people obese, is an amazing statement that these officials only care about their campaign contributions, no matter how much harm they do to their constituents. I applaud Morgan Spurlock for having the courage and stamina to do what it took to complete the rigors of this project. He put his life and health at serious risk to prove this important point. No longer can the fast food industry say, "well show us your proof that our product is bad for you." If this documentary doesn't motivate you to change your eating choices, nothing will. Although, i have to admit that after the movie i went to MacDonalds don't ask me why but i just felt like it lol.
