Food, Inc. Analysis Paper “Eating healthy” is becoming a vast concern in our society nowadays and it’s about dang time. Americans may not be in first place when it comes to something that matters, such as education or health care, but we take the cake for being the fattest country in the world. Why?

While Chinese market plays an important part in Kraft’s international business, in 2005, Kraft decided to research the Chinese market to understand why the Oreo cookie that was so successful in most countries had failed to resonate with the Chinese people. Research showed the Chinese people were not big cookie eaters. Chinese consumers liked the contrast of sweet and bitter but they thought it was a little bit too sweet and a little bit too bitter.

But after researching about this case I came to find very interesting facts that made me support the jury’s judgment all the way and realize how serious the incident was.
