“Chewing" Article evaluation/notes.

The article that I have chosen to evaluate is called "chewing". I chose this article because I am a dental hygiene major, so it relates to what I want to do in the future. This article has pictures and videos of animals showing examples of what chewing looks like. The article starts by telling us what chewing is and why it is important. Chewing or mastication is the process by which food is crushed It is the first step of digestion, and it increases the surface area of foods to allow a more efficient breakdown by enzymes since this is a medical article it has scientific words, and the good thing about this article is that for each word they have citations Explaining what the word means. This is helpful for readers/editors that are not familiar with those words. The material provided in the article is important, but one thing that distracted me the most is that they did not include many examples about humans chewing, the examples/pictures provided are of animals. one thing that I feel like can be added to the article for improvement is including examples as to why it is important for humans to chew, and what it is like. Because we can all agree that humans are the ones that are going to read it. though, of course we also need to know about animals because they are important too. The article talks about specific actions, which is chewing, so it is not an exceedingly lengthy article. It has a good amount of information, not too long and not too short. I would say that the tone of the article is neutral, it tells the readers what chewing is and why it is important. almost impossible to have bias in it since it is an action that living animals/humans perform. Humans are underrepresented, as I stated before, talking, and providing examples of animals. The links provided are working and they relate to what the topic is about. The facts provided in the article are reliable and important, they give a deeper meaning to the topic. Also, the article states on one of the sections does not cite any sources and recommends that you can help improve the article by adding citations to reliable sources. adding examples and the importance/history of chewing for humans may be helpful. The information latest edit is from 2015 but I do not think that is an issue since chewing has been around for many centuries, and I do not think it has changed, the article achieves its rhetorical objective of teaching people what chewing is.
