Organic food culture Article Evaluation (There was no ongoing conversation on this article as it was an assignment done by a student. I did not realize this fact until after the evaluation was completed)
 * 1) Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? If there are unreliable sources, identify them and explain why they are unreliable. Some places seem to contain unsourced facts or opinions, but all references are reliable.
 * 2) Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? If so, identify it and explain why. The organic labeling section of the article felt a little out of place. The section is relatively long considering it's overall importance. The reason behind including the section is unclear as it does not effect culture that much, or at least not enough for the reader to understand. A brief link to the reasoning  of label's relation to organic food culture/ consumption would help to clear this issue.
 * 3) Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Explain how it is biased and how it should be changed. The critical consumption of food section has a couple of unsourced opinions at the bottom of the section. It makes the assumption that these practices give power to the consumer without explaining why. The next statement about the demand creating the market needs more elaboration and seems like a flimsy argument, especially without a source.
 * 4) Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? All sources seem to be reliable and neutral.
 * 5) Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented or underrepresented? No dissenting viewpoints, or counter arguments against organic food culture.
 * 6) Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article? One source required you to rent or subscribe to view it. All links work and seem unplagiarized.
 * 7) Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? Relatively short article altogether. The critical food consumption section could use expanding, along with the market section. A section touching on the various food trends around organic food and the effects of that on our culture could be potentially enlightening. The article hasn't been updated since October of 2017, so some of the culture or markets around organic food have definitely changed since then.
