Ch. 9 "What's in the Meat?"

-What rhetorical value does Schlosser attach to his use of science in studying the makeup, and contamination, of supply lines in the fast food industry?  How does this somewhat dry data contribute to his argumentative approach?

-How does Schlosser incorporate the "corporate monster" back into his argument in Ch. 9?  What is the juxtapositional opposite that he pits it against, and how does that comparison function in his overall argument?

-Do you think Schlosser is overly reliant on the "gross-out" factor in the way he organizes his argument rhetorically?  Which of the major strategies does this reflect?

-Schlosser references a lot of visual images when referring to things that we can't necessarily see, such as cleanliness, microbial activity, contamination, etc.  Is this a valid strategy, and what rhetorical approach does it play to?
