Second: You are to find 5 people, preferably not all from your family, and you are going to survey them using the following questions.

1. Why do you think that food containing additives and preservatives are cheaper than whole foods?
2. Do “buy product A and get product B for free” coupons influence your spending/eating habits at the grocery store?
3. If you eat fast food, does the 2 for $5, or boxed menus influence your eating habits?
4. How influenced are you by food advertisements on television or the movies?
5. Do you purchase foods based on labeling claims, such as fat free, no GMO, or Organic?

Finally:Take the answers to your survey and summarize them, evaluate them, and compare them to the information you learned reading the papers.

As per the other papers, this needs to be in Times New Roman 12 point font, double spaced, 1 inch margins. The two parts of the paper (paper evaluation/survey evaluation) should add up to no less than 4 pages no more than 8 pages in length.  Please make sure your name is on your paper.
