Jonathan Pumphrey 2-27-14 Julia Petitfrere After watching “Food Inc.” I have learned the unfortuinite truth about the food that all of uf Americans eat. I learned that the major food companies are using genetically modified organisms (gmos) to make food faster, cheaper, and when it is not in season. The companies change the diets of the animals they are going to sloter because it is cheaper and it is easier to get the wrong food than it is to get the right food for the animals. The Government is not going to do anything about what is going on because a lot of the people that work in Washington used to heads of the companies that they are supossed to be going after. I will give credit where credit is due, I think that GMOs are a fantastic
We rarely think completely about where the food we eat comes from and how is it produced. "Food, Inc.", a frank and sometimes grisly expose of the profit-driven food profession in the United States, is sure to shake up our views of what we eat. Factory system was conveyed to the back of the kitchen, after which food began to be formed on assembly lines. From the film, we can see that health and safety are frequently ignored by those companies, and are often overlooked by government in an struggle to provide cheap food heedlessly of these bad penalties. According to data, 70% of antibiotics are used on farm animals.
One Thing At a Time There are many changes of the world and farming is one of the big ones. Farming is not anything like it use to be, it’s all about industrial agriculture. In Solvent Green, there is evidence that maybe just someday the world might run out of meat. In The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals Pollan does a great job of giving an explanation on how farmers don’t farm the old fashion way nowadays. In Solvent Green, it shows that if industrial agriculture continues on then people may resort to eating it inhabitants.
Question How should McDonald’s respond when ads promoting healthy lifestyles featuring Ronald McDonald are equated with Joe Camel and cigarette ads? Should McDonald’s eliminate Ronald McDonald in its ads? Answer The answer for McDonald’s is to emphasis that cigarettes are always harmful. In contrast McDonald’s menu has a variety of healthy options, so the comparison is wrong because it is of totally different types. In opposite to change the character Ronald or eliminating it from the ads, McDonald’s could target its Ronald to do more advertisements for healthy food and nutrition, they can also label their food with the amount of fat, cholesterol, sugar, and other nutritional values.
Since insurance companies are not supposed to make an obese persons insurance premium higher than a healthy individual, then that obese person’s heart attack drives up the insurance premium of the healthy person. The obese are making it everyone’s problem by not putting down that cheeseburger because they know that the government is paying for their anti-cholesterol medicine. Balko claims that the government is getting “between you and your waistline” meaning that the government is interfering by telling Americans what we can and cannot do with our health. Congress is now considering menu-labeling which means that restaurants would have to send every menu item to the laboratory for nutritional testing. Meaning that the restaurants would not have the freedom to put whatever they want on the menu.
The article, "The battle against fast food begins in the home" by Daniel Weintraub, explains how people are blaming McDonalds and other fast food restaurants such as Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Starbucks, and Pizza Hut for their obesity. The author disagrees with the blaming that people are doing. I also disagree. People are blaming and sueing the fast food restaurants for the decision they have made of being unhealthy. They are making comments such as, "The problem of obesity is so staggering, so out of control, that we have to do something."
Furthermore, Valenzuela portrays fast food juggernauts like ‘KFC’ and ‘McDonalds’ in a deceitful and untrustworthy manner with the intended effect of evoking guilt and shame upon those who consume these foods. Valenzuela asserts that the ‘tower burger’, advertised at the cricket for KFC supplies ‘about a third of a typical child’s energy requirements’. This further authenticates his argument by exploiting his credentials as a medical researcher to illustrate the ‘junk food’ chain in a negative
Consuming fast food is not good for anyone involved. It causes extreme health concerns including a higher risk in disease and acquiring diabetes due to poor nutrition and sanitation in the products. Fast food is also responsible for a decline in the United States’ reputation and even harms the budgets for child public education. It is nearly impossible to defend the fast food industries and all of the horrible consequences involved with consuming fast food after reading the argument Schlosser presented in Fast Food Nation. Fast food consumption is continuing to completely destroy the nation’s economy and spread disease-causing bacteria all over the world.
We eliminated Church’s Chicken because they have a gaming business and we thought this would disproportionately increase the margins for a restaurant business. We also did not include Marriott because their restaurant division represents a relatively small proportion of their business. Finally, for the Contract Services Division, we elected to include both Luby’s and Marriott. From our understanding of Luby’s Cafeterias, they operate a business that is similar to Marriott’s institutional food services. The information provided in the case regarding MRP did not conform to our understanding of generally accepted MRP’s as discussed in class.
