CRAAP
I chose to evaluate the "DHMO in the Dairy Industry" website. This website was last modified on March 11, 2008, being that it is today's date it is up to date. All of the links on the page work. The message of this website is to all those who drink or eat dairy. The article talks about the lack of regulation of DHMO in dairy. The website explains what DHMO is and what it does and why it is posing a problem. The author of this article is Tom Way and there is an e-mail adress on the home page to contact him. The website is ended with .org, which is usually more credible than .com websites. The article on the page is very easy to read making it easy for the audience to understand. The author provides exact e-mails as he tries to make his point, making it seem reliable as we read exactly what was said in the e-mails. The author seems to feel strongly about the use of DHMO in dairy and that it is bad, which hints to a possible bias in the article which could affect the readers view on the dairy industry. The purpose of this article is to inform people on the use DHMO in dairy. The website appears to be a good website if you were researching the use of DHMO and that its fact are reliable but it may have a bias towards the dairy industry.

I LIKE YOUR ANALYSIS OF THE DHMO HOMEPAGE A LOT SINCE YOU GIVE VERY DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE FEATURES OF THE WEB PAGE AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU THINK THE WEB PAGE IS GOOD. HOWEVER, THE QUESTION I AM ASKING AFTER LOOKING AT THE WEB PAGE MYSELF IS, WHETHER OR NOT THIS WEB PAGE WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR A THOROUGHLY DONE RESEARCH ABOUT DHMO SINCE IT DOES NOT REALLY OFFER AN EXPLICIT DEFINITION OR EXPLANATION OF WHAT DHMO REALLY IS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A LOT OF ADVERTISING GOING POSSIBLY WITH A BIAS TOWARD THE DIARY INDUSTRY. PARTICULARLY BECAUSE OF THE ADVERTISEMENT AND THE DISCOVERED BIAS, I WOULD VISIT AT LEAST 2-3 ADDITIONAL WEBPAGES IN ORDER TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS DAIRY HORMONE IN MILK. MAYBE EVEN A SITE WHICH MIGHT BE LESS BIAS THAN THIS ONE….
