Thanksgiving

After reviewing the slides set the first time I really had no idea of what the point author was trying to make. The slide seemed to break the rules of good argument because if your audience doesn't know what you're arguing for how can they support your point of view. I
The author’s question: is there some inherent value to that way of life that we have lost, I'm completely lost what way of life is he referring to. The questions just seemed to come out of nowhere. How can there be an argument when the reader cannot discern the authors meaning?
The fabric of our lives is found in the food that we in the way we sit down to eat it. What's going on now? The author is entering a question with a question that leaves no clear understanding of what is being is being said. I can see that the author wants us to try organic food are getting back to nature. But the authors point seems to be slip-sliding around when in one breath, shows a picture of organic vegetables and then questions the dress of the chef with a statement of sponge pajamas and eating cut liver oil. If you're trying to entice an audience to try organic carrots you shouldn't show them in a sink with dirt, but just completely destroys any appetizing effects of their healthiness.
Free range chickens and young children working/wandering together in the fields sounds like a perfect balance of nature, however, chicken manure is the cause of many diseases including blindness.
The children working and eating together is an absolute positive experience, and I couldn't help but agree that the world could use all of this that we as parents could provide. When they're finished they clean up after themselves this is just another form of teamwork and once again creates a positive atmosphere.
In many ways the argument the author is trying to make seems discredited by the characters and situations and the informal language scribbled on the slides. How can the audience be expected to take the point of view seriously when the presentation seems so unrefined.
What is the point the author is trying to make about the woman looking at one tree after the next? Is she in fact out of her mind, or is she a tree lover or perhaps an animal lover looking for a bird or some such. The author leaves you questioning without providing answers.
Now the author has across the country again. No point was made on the initial trip across the country? Returning to your point of origin to start over seems like a person without a purpose. I say this because you should of made the initial discoveries before you left instead of traveling across the country and returning to the same place before making your discoveries. The author seems like an aimless wanderer in thought and deed.
Now I've gone through the slideshow twice I see no firm clear point of view.
Organic farming is a niche operation that can not support the growing needs of the world population, however it should be given the same subsidies and protections as the larger farmers so the population will benefit from cheaper prices and a larger selection of natural products.
