• Name of article:Ethical eating
• The reason why I chose this topic is that I am an active defender of animal rights, not only of pets like most people, but of everyone: animals exploited in zoos, in slaughterhouses, in circuses, in the cosmetic industry among others. It is a subject I know a lot about, because in my high school I did a persuasive essay not exactly on this subject; my essay was on animal abuse in general, so I had to read a lot on the related topic, watch documentaries on the life of animals in slaughterhouses and in general learn a lot about animal rights.

Lead

Lead evaluation

The lead of this article includes an introductory sentence that describes the topic concisely. This article also mentions the main sections of the article, but does not describe them. The only thing that I would add to the lead of this article would be a little more information about the term "ethical eating".

Content

Content evaluation

The content of this article is completely relevant to the topic. However, I think the article is not completely up to date. I say this because for example: the only reference dates are 1970 and 1980. I think that since that date there have been many advances in favor of ethical eating and the article would be more complete if they expose the chronology of advances to date. Also this article has some information gaps that may leave the reader confused or with half information. The topics that are missing information are: "policy", "sea food", and "crops". Finally, I think that this is such an extensive topic that it would be necessary to elaborate, for example, on the subject of animal suffering in slaughterhouses, not to convince the reader, but to inform widely on the subject.

Tone and Balance

Tone and balance evaluation

This article is written in a neutral way. I think that the purpose of this article is not to persuade the reader of any position, but nevertheless, the information itself, I think it will leave the reader reflecting.

Sources and References

Sources and references evaluation

All the facts in this article are confirmed by a reliable secondary source of information, but are not current. The references go from 2010 to 2015. Five years ago this article has not been updated.

Organization

Organization evaluation

This article is concise and easy to read. The organization is fine but could improve. It would be ideal if you were clearer with your points, that they justify them.

Images and Media

Images and media evaluation

This includes only two image on the subject. I think that to be an informative article it should have at least one more images. This is to ensure the complete understanding of the readers. Many readers acquire information better visually. More images would be a plus for the article. The subtitles for these images need to be better developed.

Checking the talk page

Talk page evaluation

Overall impressions

Overall evaluation

The strong point of this article is that it contains all the "subtopics" for a good understanding of "Ethical eating". The best way to improve this article would be to abound and add more information.
