RJA #11a: Introduction

Got Milk?
"Milk it does the body good." Great advertising scam or true nutritional health claim? From the media to doctors to our parents, everyone has attested to the health benefits of drinking milk or the adverse affects of failing to drink milk on a daily basis. Three generations ago the agriculture business was a very different industry and family farms were a way of life. Cattle fed on grass like nature intended unlike today where corn is the main staple because it is cheaper to produce. Hormones and antibiotics where not needed because supply, overcrowding and diseases were not issues. According to recent studies and a growing number of health professionals dairy causes more harm then the benefits allege. To live a conscious, nutritionally wholesome, and health giving life style one needs to be aware of the consequences dairy consumption may carry. Dairy is not necessary for a healthy diet and may be harmful to one's health in that dairy contributes to cancer, heart disease, obesity, allergies, and other detrimental health concerns.

  1. Really good introduction! I like how you start because it does a great job of grabbing attention and this is a good way to start the paper. The only advice I can offer is to either introduce the idea of cows eating other things besides grass before you say it or just exclude it from your introduction because as it is right now it does not seem to flow. Great intro, sounds like it will be a very interesting paper.
