In the piece “Here’s Why Salads feel
Feminine and Nachos Seem Manly” by Tanya Basu, Basu utilizes sources like academic
papers and journals to support her article. However, in “Purity Through Food: How
Religious Ideas Sell Diets” by James Hamblin, he uses sources such as books and
interviews. These different modes of research with different topics were all
very credible in regards to the topic they discussed, which is crucial in one’s
evidence, and they both had some research regarding some psychology behind
food. The types of research in each article are very different, but they both
help strengthen their arguments in their articles, which is the entire idea of
evidence. Not every article is going to or should use the same types of
evidence, but as long as it helps strengthen the piece and is credible, then it
is a useful source.
