On the Organic Food page, I plan to add a “Labor” section that will inform readers about the intensive labor that goes into the upkeep of an organic farm.

Article Evaluation

In regards to the "Dieting" section on the Sociology of Food page, the information appeared to be biased, favoring heavier women. To improve this section, first, ungrounded biases should be removed and replaced with facts from reliable sources to back up the claims that are made considering the topic is controversial and could be offensive to some. Second, there should be more information about men. Lastly, This article could be improved by incorporating foods and diets in different societies.
