Syllogism

#1
Premise: Some packaged meats are injected with hormones.
Premise: Hormones cause young children to sexually mature very early.
Conclusion: Packaged meats cause sexual maturation in young children very early.

#2
Premise: Packaged meats are injected with synthetic hormones.
Premise: Synthetic things are bad for the body.
Conclusion: Packaged meats are bad for the body.

In order to make their meat more presentable, companies producing mass amounts of meat inject the meat with hormones. Parents, thinking that they are giving their children a well-balanced diet, feed these meats to their young children. When ingested by young children, these hormones cause children to reach puberty much earlier than they would have on their own. So unknowingly, these parents are causing their children to age too quickly in a way.

Great job! Good Syllogisms and the paragraph went along nicely.

hahaha!!! make sure to get some evidence for that! And make sure that meats get injected with estrogen and testosterone before writing your paper!!! thats funny stuff!

however, on the other hand, passive voice could be improved. "While parents think that feeding their kids with these meats gives them a well-balanced diet, do not know of the consequences..." or something like that would work better..

but i like your idea! and im still laughing about that!
