Hi blingbling,

thanks for your comments. I do know that my analysis is by no way complete but I was merely showing where certain words and phrases have implied meanings.

The article would have been much better if it had included some parts about what the Government is doing about such global expansions. You seriously cannot think that globalization will not have repercussions?

I do not profess expertise in any field. My intention was simply to point out the way for further debate. The part about the chicken, which keeps coming up, is that the article made no further reference about it. That was my gripe with it. You see, you said that the chicken would be processed at places that followed international standards but the article made no mention of it. You are also assuming at this point that the above point will be followed. All of us are making assumptions. But we wouldn't have had to make any assumptions if the writer had mentioned something about the processing of chickens -- that is my only gripe with it.

I really appreciate your coming forward and debating like an adult -- unlike some people who have to resort to personal attacks to make their point :)
