Legislation for the administration of these programmes are varied in their source.

Some notable rhetorical devices and techniques were used effectively throughout Bittman’s article. We can start off by examining his use of ethos by appealing to figures of authority, which appear as short quotes from university professors, authors and leading food experts. The first quote was introduced mid-way through the article by a food studies professor at New York University: “Anything that you do that’s not fast food is terrific; cooking once a week is far better than not cooking at all.” says Marion Nestle, professor of food studies at New York University and author of What to Eat. “It’s the same argument as exercise: more is better than less and some is a lot better than none” (as cited in Lunsford, Ruszkiewicz, & Walters, 2013, pg. 661).

McKeen (2006) explains that the framework of the current child welfare approaches was directed from the dominant discourse of ‘national children’s agenda’ initiatives. Since then, there have been many major changes happened in the mainstream social policy in child welfare sector. The national and global political influences and world economic pressure forces federal and provincial governments to control the social security and welfare programs and it reflects in child welfare system too (McKeen, 2006). Politics in Canada has a serious notion on key ideologies while restructuring child welfare policies (McKeen, 2006). Ontario’s Child and Family service Act 1984, was developed on the principle of minimal family intervention with a view that children need to be protected in their own homes (Dumbrill, 2006b).
