Swallow Soup or Sodium? (1.4)


People like food at the convenience store for expediency such as Japanese oden. Sometimes people add soup inside. In a poll conducted online, the result showed that 94 out of 98 responders have eaten oden in convenience stores. 37 of 94 would add half bowl of soup and 36 add over eighty percent full. 
Figure 1. the 4th Q&A  of the online poll.


                  According to The John Tung Foundation, the average bowl of oden soup — 80 percent full —contains between 600mg and 1,400mg of salt. The significant variance arises from clerks adjusting soup flavor following individual palette, continuously heating but not adding water periodically. 
          After showing those polled the sodium variance of oden soup and possible disease due to lavish sodium intake such as edema, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, kidney and coronary heart disease, 73 responders still chose to continue purchasing oden and add reasonable soup.
Figure 2. the 5th Q&A of the online poll.

         
         Concerning the sodium variance of oden soup, consumers seem to react rationally according to the survey. If people can contemplate the food problems and consume reasonably, they might avoid above-mentioned diseases. So enjoy your oden and enjoy your health meanwhile!

Swallow Soup or Sodium?



People like food at convenience store for expediency such as Japanese oden. Sometimes people add soup inside. In an online poll which 98 people conducted, 94 responders have eaten oden of convenience stores. 37 of 94 would add half bowl of soup and 36 add over eighty percent full. 

Actually, the average bowl of oden soup — 80 percent full —contains between 600mg and 1,400mg of salt. The significant variance arises from clerks adjusting soup flavor following individual palette, continuously heating but not adding water periodically.

Response to Peer Feedback

1. Shorten the news title and pay attention to redundant words.
à I agree with the advice. My original title is ‘‘swallow soup or swallow sodium’’, and the second swallow is actually redundant.
And I endeavored to delete those redundant words to make my news more clear to be read.

2. The first paragraph is too sudden for the whole news.  
à I cannot agree with this advise more. I should talk about my theme first instead of giving out a vague and terrifying sentence about diseases due to lavish sodium intake to scare readers even when they have no ideas about what I really want to talk about.
Consequently, I moved this sentence after I stated the fact about oden in convenience store.

3.   Revise the original conclusion!

à I agree with the advice. < The original one>‘‘ It is everyone’s duty to take care of individual health and also other’s when working in service industry.”
 The original one talks about the duty to care about consumers health when working in service industry. But it totally went too far from my main point, that is, think carefully before eating oden. Consequently, I must come up with a new conclusion to be closer to my main point.

Swallow Soup or Swallow Sodium?


Excessive sodium intake can cause edema, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, kidney and coronary heart disease.

People like food at convenience store for expediency. Easy to taste in a stick, Japanese oden is within choices. Sometimes people also add oden soup. In an online poll which 98 people conducted, 94 responders have eaten oden of convenience stores. 37 of 94 would add half bowl of soup and 36 add over eighty percent full. 


However, people hardly know high sodium level hides just in the soup. Actually, the average bowl of soup — 80 percent full —contains between 600mg and 1,400mg of salt. The significant variance arises from clerks adjusting soup flavor following individual palette, continuously heating but not adding water periodically. After showing those polled the sodium variance of oden soup and possible disease as lavish sodium intake, 73 responders still chose to continue purchasing oden and add reasonable soup. 

‘‘There is a device for testing the salinity of the oden soup and the official procedures to dilute soup are a pack of condensed soup powder with 1500cc water and pressing the heating button whenever adding water inside,’’ the clerks working at convenience stores were interviewed and mentioned. As for the timing to add water depends on clerks free or not and the amount of water inside the soup.
