Actually, the way it was introduced, it was. If it were to be an opinion article, you would have organised points and paragraphs instead of ranting on about disgusting you think it is. That's just... Well, a rant, not a proper article. I read it, being curious about what the topic was, wanting to find out details about it, etc. but I didn't find out much. Just your poorly-organised opinion.
Though I suppose it was good for a first article. Just a little more organisation and clarity are needed. Good luck on your next one! :]
