They have begun to make small improvements, reducing their sugar levels by a percentage at best. Companies that market to children fear any recommendation coming form the Federal Trade Commission because even though the Federal Trade Commission is not a law enacting body, the adverse effects of not adhering to recommendations they make is strongly discouraged. According to General Mills’ website, the since 2007 until 2011 the company had their cereals sugar content from 13% to 10% depending on the cereal, a drop of two to three percentage points. This is interesting because the recommended serving size for their nutritional label is 3/4 cup, which is not a lot of cereal when measured. Kids consume one to two cups or more which double the content of sugar consumption.

“Vintage ad” Got Milk? Ka Her Eng 112 Final Draft Professor Malkiewicz 7/22/12 Is your health important to you? For the majority of people, it is an overwhelming concern.

My hypothesis was proven correct because in the chart the data shows that blue sky and red/orange sunset did work with store bought milk even though we messed up a little bit with the school milk being too thin. In the chart you can see that no matter what direction you pointed the flash light in you could see the blue sky and red/orange sunset with the store bought milk because it was thicker than school milk, so my hypothesis was proven correct. The reason the school milk didn’t work is because it was too thin and whenever light is reflected through an object or substance if the substance or object is too thin it will shine right through the object so using school milk went a little wrong in our experiment and using the store bought milk helped us see the blue sky and red/orange sunset because the milk was thicker. Since the store bought milk was thicker the white light from the flash light shined on the milk and scattered all its colors (even though you can’t see the colors) and the milk absorbed all its color letting the blue reflect off the milk, and also a little bit of red/orange reflecting under it, letting us being able to see the blue sky with a red/orange sunset. The experiment when great even though we did have an error with which type of milk to use, but now we know not to use store bought milk next time.
In January 2009 the government initiative, Change4Life, released a major advertising campaign to educate parents on the role modern life plays in childhood obesity. It concentrated on the primary issues of abundant food choices and sedentary lifestyles. The campaign, however, has been criticised for forming ‘corporate partnerships’ with companies such as PepsiCo, Nestle and Mars. These companies part-funded the scheme but are also responsible for the market share of high calorie snack products that are heavily marketed toward children. The campaign did not insist on any terms of involvement in the scheme and was criticised for failing to capitalise on a prime opportunity to push for the nutritional labelling on products in the form of the governments ‘traffic light’ scheme.

With these fads being used to influence the diets of Americans and all the while health statistics are not showing any improvement, demonstrates the impact that culture has on the food disconnection. With iconic images like the food pyramid still being utilized in government nutrition programs such as Women Infants and Children (WIC) and in the public and private education systems, the American populace is being reinforced with information supported by outdated research (as cited in Hargrove, n.d.). Cereal campaigns promoting a healthy start to your day with products comprised of complex sugars, genetically modified grains, and a side of milk that is filled with synthetic nutrients that can’t be processed by the body are sold as the solution to healthy eating (Kenner, 2008). With the American public continually bombarded with advertising campaigns promoting new half-baked quick fixes such as Slim fast or the lemon detox, the advertising market continues to exploit the yearning for a solution to healthy eating. The “French paradox” addresses the role of culture and its impact on eating habits, it draws a contrast between the French populace who’s eating habits are motivated by pleasure and long-standing culture, from that of Americans, who’s
In the beginning years of rbST hormone use researchers thought that the hormone would just be a catalyst to milk production. After much research, the hormone does deliver its promise of more milk, but it also introduced side effects that were not considered before. Treated cows are efficient in that they are able to continue to reproduce normally, however, one draw back is that it is difficult to determine the cow’s estrus cycle in order to inseminate her and inject her with growth hormone. Producers at this point are looking for a way to have a high yield, but in order to do that; the cow needs to be impregnated to begin lactation. Without successful insemination the cow will not be able to lactate and the producer would not have a chance to inject hormone into the cow.
