1. The Meaning of Mad Cow

2. Authors Intent • To help inform the readers about mad cow disease and to show the consumer about the meat packing indusrty

3. Authors assertions/ findings • That even though companies were supose to change the ways the factory was run many didn’t listen

4. Author points • The author proved his points in my opinion because he showed many examples from many different situations such as laws and factory settings even situations were the mad cow disease infected meat the mcdonalds purchased

5. In the beginning the author seemed bias saying things like “the governments apparent inability to keep prohibited feed away from cattle “ this made him seem like he was against the big businesses but at the end he states that even though all the problem still going on he was still optimistic. Therefore the author didn’t seem biased in my opinion

6. The content was relevant because it was always talking about how cows contracted the mad cow disease and all the cases were the disease was found even the issues company’s had
