Talking these ideas out

The conversation started out about me telling my parents what I learned in class about how the food we buy in stores can be harmful in many ways. Then, I proceeded to tell them what struck me the most was the story about Kevin, a two year old who ate three burgers and died from escherichia coli (e. coli). I told them that after this incident, they passed a law called "Kevin's law" that gives the U.S. Department of Agriculture the power to shut down plants that have contaminated meat. My parents responded to this by saying "We should be more careful now. Thank you for sharing that with us."
