"Having Faith" by Sandra Steingraber

The purpose of this writing is to create awareness to the missing link of the food chain, the missing top of the flattened out food pyramid. Steingraber, pointed out the neglect to the pinnacle of then food pyramid, which are breastfed babies. She points this out by laying out a map, on how the ingestion of harmful poisons multiplies in affect as it moves towards the top of the pyramid. Therefore, as babies are considered to be at the top, they are facing a lot of health issues than would only lead to further health concern not only on individuals but also towards the government.

I would consider Steingraber to be an activist as I feel that she is making an effort to create an awareness to the issue. Also, as she tries her best to practice what she preaches, it shows her commitment in making a change to the situation and her belief that these changes would make a difference.
