Watch the following TED talk: “How we Could Eat Real Meat without Harming Animals,” by Isha Datar. Isha Datar: How we could eat real meat without harming animals (Links to an external site.)
As you watch, take note of the evidence and techniques used by Datar.
Then, write a brief (250 words) analysis of the argument, considering the rhetorical devices and persuasive techniques used by the speaker.

Be sure that your analysis:
• Indicates the speaker’s point
• Refers to direct evidence from the TED talk
• Refers to rhetorical strategies (strategies for persuasion)
• Indicates your reaction/opinion to the TED talk
