These corporations are out of the public view and are largely anonymous, which makes it difficult to target. I can understand why PETA attacks KFC and other well-known companies, but trying to ruin their reputation seems unfair and some of PETA’s demands can be impossible to fulfill. 2. What are the basic criticisms that PETA makes of KFC? Are they convincing?
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
Offering a range of menu choices is another example of inclusive practice. E.g. vegetarian option, soft diet, pureed, diabetic and high protein. Practice which excludes the individual and is Discriminatory. As described earlier in my reflective account (ci) a good example of practice which excludes the individual and is discriminatory is being ignored whilst having a bed bath – the lack of privacy and dignity had a lasting effect on me.
The next day, she disappears and Jeff notices that her husband is acting strange and suspicious. Jeff’s curiosity ends up putting his life and others in danger, as the murderer realizes that Jeff knows what he has done. Hitchcock used many different film techniques to make Rear Window. Such techniques included camera angles, wardrobe, facial expressions, use of sound and lighting, the placement of the apartments, and the partial view through the windows. However, use of sound is particularly important to this movie.
He also made some key mistakes like buying overpriced networks and not doing research to see what other types of media he could get into. As a CEO or manager of a company your jobs are to satisfy the client and to make the business/company profitable. Canwest was not doing this because they were seeing a decline in the sales of their newspapers and TV networks, but instead chose to ignore these signs and do things their own way. “But its Asper’s largest acquisition that’s causing him the biggest headache” (Hood 2). When Asper acquired the rights to Alliance Atlantis and the popular specialty TV channels such as Food Network, HGTV and Showcase, it was worth approximately $2.3 billion, which Canwest did not have.
In the book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, he states that “Seventy eight percent of ground beef in a USDA study contained microbes that are spread primarily by fecal matter” (1). The fast food and beef industry want consumers to be willfully ignorant of what really is in the meat we consume. In his essay, “Power Steer,” author Michael Pollan states, “Forgetting, or willed ignorance, is the preferred strategy of many beef eaters, a strategy abetted by the industry” (2). Willed ignorance is choosing to be ignorant of a cause so people can live without challenging the way they think, so they can feel safe. Pollan is referring to the fact that many beef consumers willingly choose to ignore and not think about how their meat has been made and what is actually in it.
Miller, a molecular biologist and physician and Gregory Conko, senior fellow at Competitive Enterprise Institution, argues in “Labeling of Genetically Modified Food Is Unnecessary and Unconstitutional” against labeling GM foods. They report, “Government mandated labeling of genetically modified foods would convey irrelevant information and would be a violation of the first Amendment” (pg.1). This is so far from the truth, conveying what is in what we eat is very relevant and not telling us is a violation of our first Amendment. They even go on to say that, “But instead of educating or serving a legitimate consumers’ “need to know” certain information, mandatory labels on gene-spliced food would imply a warning” (pg. 3).
We could even lower the cost of health care in the future as well. Unhealthy eating habits contribute to health problems such as diabetes, Madden 3 Obesity and heart problems. The eating habits that cause these problems are our negligence in every way and we must control them at all costs. We have to hold ourselves accountable rather than blaming some fast food place and take control of our lives. We can’t sue Wal Mart for selling us an unlimited amount of chocolates, so why can we consider suing due to the fact that we have consumed too many calories from a meal we purchased at some fast food establishment?
A vending machine for example is fast food which is bad for health. Most of the food that surrounds us can be bad but we need to make good choices. Overeating habit is not the best answer to healthy lifestyle. Velychko 4 Prose, Francine. "The Wages of Sin."
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.
