The Case of Modern Wheat
by Alisa Scerrato

The gluten-free lifestyle has recently become a hot topic in the United States. "Gluten-free" products and advertisements seem to be everywhere. What is this thing called gluten, and why are so many people suddenly cutting it out of their diets when they have been consuming it for years without debate?
Gluten is a general name for protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and triticale. It acts as a glue to help certain foods maintain their shape. Most people think that gluten exists only in bread, baked goods, and cereals, but it is also found in soups, sauces, salad dressings, and many other foods that are less commonly known to be associated with wheat.
Some scientists claim that gluten is a strange protein and inherently difficult for humans to digest. The reason for this is that there has been a change in the way wheat is produced in the United States over the past several years. Modern cultivation of wheat is done in order to boost the protein content. Research has shown that gluten being used in "modern wheat" makes breaking down certain foods hard on the stomach. Some Americans just happen to react more severely than others to gluten. The symptoms of gluten intolerance vary from person to person.
Eating gluten has recently been discovered to contribute to such medical issues as irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, acne, and depression, just to name a few. Another more serious reaction to the consumption of gluten is referred to as celiac disease. About 2 million people in the United States suffer from this disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. This disease is serious as it can lead to a number of issues including neurological disorders, reduced bone density, and sometimes cancer. Eating in restaurants or in other people’s homes is challenging for people with celiac disease because knowing which foods contain gluten can be difficult. In general, people should educate themselves about the ingredients found in different foods, but people who are particularly sensitive to gluten have to be even more diligent. There are no pharmaceutical cures for gluten intolerance, so some people must manage their gluten intake by being aware and adhering to strict diets.
While celiac disease is the most extreme case, eating a low or no gluten diet can indeed provide health benefits for many people. In fact, many Americans have found that abstaining from gluten has helped improve their lives.

Read the excerpt from Animal Farm.

That evening Squealer explained privately to the other animals that Napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among Napoleon's papers. The windmill was, in fact, Napoleon's own creation. Why, then, asked somebody, had he spoken so strongly against it? Here Squealer looked very sly. That, he said, was Comrade Napoleon's cunning. He had seemed to oppose the windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of Snowball, who was a dangerous character and a bad influence. Now that Snowball was out of the way, the plan could go forward without his interference. This, said Squealer, was something called tactics. He repeated a number of times, "Tactics, comrades, tactics!" skipping round and whisking his tail with a merry laugh. The animals were not certain what the word meant, but Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions.

Revise the following essay so that it’s more appropriate for the task, purpose, and audience describe in the prompt.

Prompt:
Write and argumentative essay aimed at your legislator that explains a few problems related to climate change and argues for a reasonable change that ordinary people can make to help solve these problems.

Essay:
One way that we can help keep climate change from getting worse is by using
public transportation rather than individual cars whenever possible.
These changes in heat affect the entire globe's climate but not always in the
same way. One outcome of climate change is extreme weather – not just
extreme heat or drought, but also tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and other
disasters that used to happen just once in a blue moon. Climate change is the
result of carbon emissions in the atmosphere trapping heat that would
normally leave through the ozone.
Cars are responsible for 28 percent of carbon emissions in the United States.
If each person rode the bus just one day a week, carbon emissions could be
reduced by almost 40 percent.
