Food fermentation is the process where there is a process of conversion between carbohydrates to alcohols and from carbon dioxide to organic acids. During this process we normally use bacteria, yeast, or both so these conversions could take place. In the article “‘Fermentation’: When Food Goes Bad But Stays Good” the author explains the descriptions of fermentation from a man called Sandor Katz (he calls himself a “fermentation revivalist”). Once he said that strong flavors were created by fermentation, but not everybody liked this kind of flavor. I agree with what he had said from my personal experience.
Abstract The objective of the south street seaweed experiment is to make a tincture of iodine. Iodine is used commercially as an antiseptic on cuts and scrapes of the skin. Conceptually, one of the active ingredients of the tincture, iodide, can be extracted from seaweed. By adding the seaweed to water and applying heat energy into the mixture, we were able to extract iodide. After adding Iodine salts, and filtering the mixture our next goal was to test for three important chemicals that must exist in our mixture for it to be a true iodine tincture; Iodine, Iodide Ion and the triiodide ion.
False advertising is also another unpleasant practice that fast food companies use to lure in costumers. Some of these practices include no warning labels on advertisements like there are on dangerous things like tobacco and confusing labels on food served that lead customers into eating more calories than intended. David Zinczenko advocates that it is some of the fast food companies fault for the decline in America’s general health. At the end, David chooses not to complain about the legalities, but instead encourages us to let the justice system do its work. In the article David Zinczenko discusses “Shouldn't we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants” we the people of America should know by now that it is
The article told us that the competition is mainly from Taco Bell and Qdoba, especially a new menu called “ Cantina Bell” generated by Taco Bell, which offers very similar food like Chipotle, and the price is much lower. So to Chipotle, finding out how to identify ways to make the company stand out in different competition and keep the company in maintaining profitability is the most important thing. Economic depression is another concern, because under this circumstance, people will cut down their spending on eating outside or best to keep the current level. In other words, if Chipotle’s food price is too much higher or they consider raising its menu price due to the higher food costs, perhaps the customers will not buy it, but turn around to buy a similar food from another place with a lower price. Situation Analysis * Strengths.
This flavor enhancer, not very long ago, was isolated in the laboratory, and identified as Monosodium glutamate. At a later stage, this flavor gained immense popularity worldwide. There is a substantial evidence that the sensory basis for this effect is that MSG stimulates the sense of taste (Garattini, 2000). Since then, it has been in use widely in restaurants (particularly mixed in noodles, soups etc. ), packaged food industries and household kitchens.

Imagine a American telling you they do not eat or like barbeque, or they think that it is nasty. Fufu is a very nutritious dish, however great preparation of the dish leads to outstanding nutritiousness. My own experience and view of this traditional dish is that it is very healthy, in the sense that they have vitamins C and d as well as minerals. I am emphasizing because Fufu is much healthier than fast foods, pizza, pasta, potatoes or
Carolina Agustin Professor Rucker English 104A 25April, 2012 The Perfect Meals for Every Body Type Throughout the book, The Omnivores Dilemma, there have been three main topics the author talked about and made certain points on. For example, industrialization, pastoral hunting, and gathering. As Michael Pollan, the author, informed us about these topics I realized that I knew what the perfect meal for every body type. Most of us believe that maybe we shall fallow the food pyramid and that, that is the answer to healthy food and good nutrition. Like Pollan pointed out in one of his chapters, fast-food is bad for our health and for us in general.
I believe that David Zinczenko in his article submitted to the New York Times “Don’t Blame The Eater” makes a good case for how society should be concerned about a generation facing a lifetime of childhood obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart diseases and other related health complications. However I find that I feel personal responsibility should be the governing factor in this matter. Mr. Zinczenko asks in his article “ Shouldn’t we know better than to eat two or more meals a day in a fast food restaurant? ” Yes we should because although specific warning labels aren’t found on fast food packaging we’ve known for years that fast food consumption on a daily basis is hazardous to your health. There’s information readily available about childhood obesity as stated in Zinczenko’s article where he notes that “Before 1994, diabetes in children was generally caused by genetic disorder-only about 5 percent of childhood cases were obesity-related, or Type 2 diabetes.
Once one really learns how the food’s flavors and colors are used in the food we eat; one becomes reluctant to consuming them. As Schlosser attempts to educate us; we learn that many consumers have a misleading concept that if the label on the product says natural flavor they are eating healthier, however; this may not be the case at all. Schlosser states “Natural and artificial flavors are now manufactured at the same chemical plants, places that few people would associate with Mother Nature” (534). Many of the ingredients in the food we eat are even difficult to pronounce, therefore; how can we truly know what is in the foods we are Arostegui 2. Ingesting.
