However, C_Fad came out of development and was able to be sold, so a price was set at $35, since it was slightly bigger and a whole unit slower than Cake.

Cake’s Promotions and Sales budget was reduced by $100, down to $1,100, and C_Fad’s Promotions and Sales budget were both set at $1,400. C_Fad was a brand new product appealing to both markets; therefore more money was needed to ensure awareness and accessibility to our customers.

| High Fructose Corn Syrup: Too Sweet to Eat? | High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is definitely bad for you. It is also bad for the planet, and I believe that it is a major driver of the obesity epidemic, despite the position taken in June 2008 by the American Medical Association. The AMA concluded that HFCS isn't any worse than other caloric sweeteners and that there is "insufficient evidence" to restrict its use or require a warning label on products that contain it.HFCS is a relatively recent invention for sweetening soft drinks, juices and foods - the production process was developed in Japan in the late 1960s, and the new sweetener entered the American food system in the early 1970s. It tastes sweeter than regular corn syrup, blends well

High fructose corn sweeteners, which are cheaper to produce than sugars from cane and beets, began being more widely used in the late 1980s and 1990s, when Americans’ weight started creeping up, says Barry Popkin, a nutritionist professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (Hellmich, 1). If people do not begin to actively read the nutrition labels on food or drink products, expect all Americans to be overweight. An overweight America may be fixated on fat and obsessed with carbs, but
After decades of lies and industry propaganda, the truth is finally coming out: junk food kills. Even after the effort of some states to tax soda pop, require healthier school lunches, or mandate calorie information in chain restaurants, obesity rates are still growing. Studies have shown that school organic gardens, salad bars and healthy lunches improve the health and academic performance of young people. Healthy eating habits and gardening skills nurtured and developed at an early age most often have a lifetime impact. A 100% tax on junk food and beverages would help pay for the collateral damages of this industry: the $150 billion in diet-related disease and health-care costs now incurred by the public and taxpayers for obesity and diabetes.
