Evaluate the article
This article was written very well. The first thing you notice when you look at this article is the picture of the food. It provides visual aid to the audience. The first couple of sentences give a great overview of what food really is. They covered everything that has to deal with food. They mentioned the types of food, the types of taste, and various other things. If you are looking for anything that is close to food, this article explains it with enough detail. I did noticed that they would add a little too much topics, and this would cause them to neglect certain aspects of certain topics. An example would be seasonal foods. There is only three sentences on it, and there is not a picture included with it. The information seemed to be up to date in the article as a whole. The article as a whole is fairly neutral. It is mainly just stating facts with sources backing it up. Most of the sources are also credible. One of them that I clicked on was a 224 page report on sustainable food. One source just said Mason, so I am not sure if it is just a kid from a class. The talk page has mentioned that it was a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Speaking about the talk page, it was pretty good. There were a couple of examples of people asking if they should add this, others said that they should change certain aspects, and the final mention was that they were not completely finished with what they had published. The article is rated a C and was mentioned in the Wiki projects which is where I discovered it. The only way that it differs from our discussion is that there was not actual a lot of utilization of the talk page, but the people who did used it got the most out of it. I think that there are some things that could help this article. I think they need to shrink the amount of information on here. They are trying to include so much information that already have their own article that it is overwhelming for the reader. I think that if it is just Mason who is one of the sources, then I would change that to be a credible source, or explain why they would be a credible source. I think that many of the different categories could be summed up in a sentence or two that say that there are many different types of food and say them. After stating them, you include the link the their own articles instead of adding all of the unneeded information. It would clean up the article and improve it as a whole.
