Peer Response: Erik Houck's Blog


I did my last peer review on Erik’s post 5 on on making a meal and that being a cranberry walnut salad. Erik talks about how he knew that he wanted to make something that would be better than what he could get in the school cafeteria’s but he wanted it to be relatively cheap, easy to make, and easy to clean up. With this he and his friend came up the idea to make a cranberry walnut salad, which could be made easily and cleaned up easily.

He goes on to discuss Pollan’s claims about what people are choosing to eat more in this day and age. He talks about how most people choose to eat things because they have health claims and not choose to eat just a well rounded diet. He also talks about how one of Pollan’s major points in this section is that genetically altered foods are really bad for you. But, Erik found an article that showed that in some cases genetically altered foods, such as one that end up being reduced in calories or fat, could be better for you and can help reduce heart disease when these food are eaten rather than when in their original form.

I think that Erik’s post about making a meal was really well formulated and everything made sense. It was clear, concise, easy to understand, and easy to follow. I don’t see much that Erik needs to improve on because this post was organized and presented so well.
