Farm to Table outline


Gavin Baker

Intro 
Attention Getter: 
Is it farm to table or farm to fable?  
Intro/Credibility: 
-name
-credibility: Vrooman’s rhetoric device charts, argumentative fallacies, toolbox analysis/social movement theory  
Thesis 
By analyzing primary sources of the movement, farmers and restaurant owners, I have concluded that farm-to-table started as a way for restaurants and farmers to partner to bring local produce to bigger crowds, but partially evolved to benefit restaurants at the expense of farmers and the diners of those restaurants.  
Transition 
Body 
Overview 
-Give history on farm to table movement
-how they support local businesses (restaurants)
-mention flaws
Schemes and tropes  
-simile
-metaphor
-hyperbole
-epistrophe
-auxesis

Argumentative fallacies 
-Appeal to consequences
-Bandwagon
-Emotional appeal

Social movement theory/Toolbox analysis 
-Burke
-Lyric frame opposed to comic or tragic frame

Conclusion 
-Re-state thesis

Clincher: What started out as a noble cause to help local communities shifted when the greed of some restaurant owners evolved their menus from farm to table to farm to fable.
