Nowadays the traditional festivals are not the signals of the culture and history anymore. There become the tools of the business people who do not have conscience. For New Year, many people chose to go outside to have the New Year eve dinner, and they do not make dumplings any longer. When they go outside, the business people tried to names their dishes with beautiful implied meanings, and then raise the price to earn more money. In the mid-autumn festival, the moon cake became a fancy gift but not a little cake that use for remembering relatives who are far away from the family.
I recently headed out to the supermarket; check the labels on about 15 to 20 products. All the products contained some sort of corn sweetener ingredient. Corn is being fed to livestock: dairy cows, pigs, chicken and even salmon at all farms nationwide. Corn is cheaper, and less of a hassle to retrieve animals from the fields. All the available, soft drinks and juices for kids contain corn byproducts.
We built a vegetable stand and dad hooked up a doorbell that rang in the house when a person would stop to buy our vegetables. We painted a sign that said Tomatoes, Potatoes, and Cucumbers. Our job during the day was to man the stand. We sold tomatoes for 50 cents a pound, potatoes for 25 cents a pound, and cucumbers were 25 cents each. By the end of the day, we would have sold out of most of the vegetables and when he arrived home we all went to the garden to pick more for the next day.
Josiah Begin 9/10/14 Sanitation Food inc summary Food Inc. is an depth Documentary on how our food is produced and where it comes from. The sad truth is that that most people don’t know where their food comes from. The movie starts off in the marketplace with the, “pastoral fantasy” advertisement on the plastic wrapped meat and poultry of grass fed beef, happily grazing with a cowboy herding them on his horse. Creating the illusion of where the food comes from. The attention is drawn to the unnatural year round tomatoes that are picked green and sprayed with a color enhancement chemical to get redness.
By the product almost obsolete on the shelves this would be the time to do intensive distribution of having the product on every shelve where potential customers would buy the product. Majority of families who bake or cook pancakes, french toast, and waffles, have at least one bottle of syrup on the shelve or in the pantry. There is not a lot of King’s syrup in the grocery stores and some don’t sell it at all. By doing a massive distribution which would be aimed at the maximum market coverage at a price that consumers could afford would be an awesome way of coverage of the product being out on the market. Besides the major superstores to get the final product out for retailers like Wal Mart and Target there are major name supermarket stores like Giants, Super fresh, and Shoppers to name a few that we would also sell our product at anywhere where there is food being sold
Most of these people receive benefits by claiming they are in between housing right now, or give the Department of Human Service paychecks for weeks where they might have only worked a few hours. I have noticed that the students with a Bridge Card feel they earned bragging rights and are proud instead of embarrassed. If you have been to the checkout lately at the grocery store, majority of college age students have the cart packed with all sorts of unhealthy goodies. Swiping like a debit card makes it easy to let others not authorized to use their food benefit card. This leads to exchanging benefits for cash or other items in return for the use of the card.
Then somewhere in the woods Cronic found a batch of yellow and purple mushrooms. And Cronic loved mushrooms especially in a stew. But he was too hungry and he started to eat them right there. About an hour after he ate and gathered all the mushrooms he could. Cronic started to notice a weird feeling he had and that all the trees were changing colors.
America began on small businesses and America has to continue to have small businesses to have a good economy. Wal-Mart endangers businesses all over the country because small businesses cannot compete with the superpower on account of Wal-Mart getting goods from places like China. Most people live within thirty minutes of a Wal-Mart and with their lower prices people will continue to shop there without realizing what they are doing to their own economy. Most people don’t realize that saving a few dollars by shopping at Wal-Mart is crippling all the local businesses around their area. Wal-Mart does not care about the American economy because they are thriving the way the economy is now, so American citizens have to stand up for their communities.
They are known as the travelling workers because they come to the United States once a year during the planting season. The farmworkers eat traditional foods such as beans, tortillas and chile. The farmworker stereotype speaks no English he would be classified as uneducated and categorized as a second class citizen. The farmworker would not seem ideal for the work standards in America. The second
(Food Inc.) The narrator gives facts on how we as customers get to enjoy ‘tomatoes’ all year round. He states that they were “grown half way around the world, picked when it was green and ripened with ethylene gas” (Food Inc.). This is meant to inform the audience that what they are eating isn’t what it seems. Just like the rest of the vegetables in the supermarket that is not labeled “organic”. We rarely think completely about where the food we eat comes from and how is it produced.
