Article Evaluations


 * Sociology of Food Evaluation

The lead to the article doesn't seem to be very specific. I think that the article could benefit from including some of the founders/pioneers of the discipline. I do think the article has an unbiased tone, but I don't think it includes enough references to back up some of the information it includes. I think that the section on the "obesity" epidemic is way too focused on America, and should include the ways in which obesity and relationships to food are shaped by capitalism. The "dieting" tab of the article is also lacking a more worldly perspective, and fails to address the different ways that different cultures view dieting and body image. I do think that the article is a good start, but overall it lacks depth and focus. If I was to add to it, I would include information on the ways in which different technologies have changed the ways in which humans have interacted with food over time.


 * Whole Foods Market Evaluation

I think the lead for this article doesn't include enough information on the ways in which Whole Foods has brought "organic" food culture into the mainstream. I do think that including that the Whole Foods and Amazon merger was important, but more context on the meaning of the merger should have been including (e.g., what services they now provide through Amazon and what that means). I think this article has a very unbiased tone, but unlike the previous article, it includes varying sources and details that add to the complexity of the article. I'd guess that this article has been edited heavily by a lot of different people, because it has a lot of subcategories and information that is backed up by newspaper and journal articles. Additionally, it also includes a lot of hyperlinks to other wiki pages, which I think is very helpful. I would like to do more research on the trendiness of organic food and how it affects small farmers and indigenous populations in the global south, therefore I may come back to this article to edit.
