100 Mile Diet Skeptic: Is Eating Local Really Better... continued

      The author of this article is Chad Skelton.  Chad Skelton is from the UK.  He also wrote the response to this article; "Still Not Convinced."  Chad came upon the writing of this article because his wife is a Food Network fanatic, and came to some points on how eating local benefits.  The audience of this article would be locals of a certain area.  Specifically, Chad's audience are locals living in the UK.
      The authors initial purpose is to try and get people to eat locally.  He puts forth a couple of key points  of the effects of eating locally, some good and some bad.  Two tools that Chad does a good job using are Pathos and Logos.  Chad explains consequences of eating local, and uses facts to support his stance.
     Overall I think that Chad did a good job in making his article effective.  I had no idea the effects of eating local.  Chad made me see these effects of eating local.  Now I am convinced to eat local more often.
