The sugar trade was driven by land and climate, consumer demand, and the economy. Land and climate was a major factor in driving the sugar trade. Included in Document 1 is a Colonial Map of the Caribbean. The map presents that most Caribbean land are colonized by the British, French, and Spanish. Referring the map to Document 2, explains that an ideal climate average for the growth of cane sugar is sixty-eight degrees Fahrenheit to ninety degrees Fahrenheit which slaves are forcefully working and growing sugar out in the heat.
An Edible History of Humanity, written by Tom Standage, opens the door to the ideology that food is the underlying catalyst behind the human race and its prosperity. It not only links the old world to the new world, but also it sheds light on the fact that humans are dependent on their crops and the crops too have become dependent on humans to survive. This leads him to the conclusion that all crops, all farmed foods are too, unnatural. Standage examines how food was important throughout the American Revolution and the Civil War, and how we humans no longer see food as a monetary object to trade, but as a mass produced and well-oiled machine that when monopolized, brings great wealth. For me, the most interesting and disappointing idea brought to light is corn; which, when first introduced in Mexico, was known as maize.
Liver breaks down carbohydrates into glucose which the body uses for sugar. Heart needs to beat, brain needs energy to maintain vital functions and we need to replace cells. Starch: the food standards agency recommends that a third of the food we eat should come from starchy foods like pasta, bread, rice, potatoes and chapattis. Starchy food sometime referred to as compound carbohydrates; liberate energy more little by little than sugars, so they will keep you contented longer. Starch is the most important carbohydrate in the human diet.
This means as shift in the equilibrium point to a point that is further along the quantity axis and lower on the price axis meaning that the overall quantity of sales has risen but the price per good has fell. Also by introducing food subsidies it will cause a variety of positive externalities. These include a more productive work force as more workers will be a healthy diet allowing them to work harder and for longer without becoming tired and fatigued.

Many would argue that the current food system is aimed at feeding the world. In order to feed the growing population, methods of cheap and efficient food production are necessary. But are they really feeding the world? Solving the crises in developing nations? No.
they need to be taught how to thrive and most important how to survive by making healthier choices. How would you be able to live with overload of sugars being your primary food source and nutrition secondary
The food tools or guidance system for food groups that until 2005 had been symbolized by the basic food pyramid. That was replaced in 2011, and nutrition labels. This food guide is intended as a tool for us to eat more healthfully, giving us the means to measure our intake of many foods against what we should really be
It means that some Europeans, because of their situations, could not go to the New World; so they decided to put themselves at the service of somebody else for a definite period in order to reach the Americas and start a new life. They were as slaves. Another fact is that Europe got a richer nutrition thanks to all the crops raised in America. Moreover there was the decrease of the American population because of the diseases brought by the Europeans such a smallpox. To summarize we can say that here again, Europe was the dominant nation because it gained on economic and social aspects.
In 1493 Christopher Columbus introduced sugar to the Caribbean islands. During this time sugar was unknown. The British and the French competed for ascendancy over the Caribbean just for sugar. The horrific part was that sugar had to have the perfect conditions for growing. That’s why Jamaica and the Barbados were huge in growing sugar.
Functionalists would argue that obesity is necessary as a part of society. Functionalist's major arguement, after all, is that everything that exists must have a meaning and must be useful towards society as a whole. Perhaps functionalists would argue that by having obese people, we draw attention to problems in health care and obesity might be a key in leaning more about the human psyche, our emotional connection to food and to further explore man's relationship with eating and nourishment. The obese population might inspire others to be healthier and might inform and educate society as a whole about the dangers of obesity and it's overall impact. Whatever they argue or use to explain obesity, functionalists would say that it is valid and important to society and is better for society as a whole.
