Scribe 11/4

In response to the first question, whether we were convinced by Spriggs and how she established the importance of her topic, it was resoundingly negative. Several of us agree upon buying local, but it wasn't nearly as Hollywood she was making it. Some of her sources were literally just CNN, generally CNN, i.e. she watched an interview and nodded along. Her omnipresence of buying local was pretentious and off putting to just about everyone. For the second question, she gave an awful counterargument that took all of us out of the essay she had presented. Child labor in Bangladesh isn't a negative, loosely attached global economics isn't a rebuttal, and her idea of grounding local food markets as global empowerment was extreme and under informed. We've noticed a pattern, more of a theme for question three, that she lacked real background information to give the "facts" credibility. On question four, she uses photos, nearly all from "IStockPhoto", to visualize her points and give the reader some form of perception upon the topics she's subscribing.
