Essays / Agricultural Subsidies: Persuasive essay topic? [5]
I have to write a 12-page persuasive essay for my college English class. I've chosen to write about Agricultural Subsidies, which is a pretty broad topic, and I want to narrow it down to 3 or maybe 4 points. The ones I'm thinking about now are:
- Subsidies hurt the consumer
- They hurt the animals
- They hurt the farmers themselves
My problem is that the only thing I can think of for hurting the animals is that Subsidies cause corn to be cheaper which in turn leads beef farms to feed their cows corn instead of grass, which can give them E.Coli.
But then that is the only thing I can think of for how it hurts the consumers, because we ingest e.coli infested beef.
So, basically, I can't think of a way to turn that into 12 pages.
Can anyone think of some more ideas? THANKS
