...David A If one were to look at the aisle containing sugar in a modern grocery store, there would be a plethora of artificial alternatives residing on the same shelves as sugar. These sugar alternatives are either loved or hated based on a wide variety of opinions. Obviously, the taste of sugar and the taste of artificial sugar vary. In addition, the health effects of these two are of significant interest. The main argument against real sugar is about the amount of calories it contains. Artificial sweeteners are low calorie, but some claim they have long-term health side effects, which make them not worth the hassle. Artificial sweeteners are compounds that induce the same or a comparable sweet flavor like those from sugars. Some are low-calorie because they are usually so much sweeter than sugar that only a tiny amount is needed to flavor something. Some alternative sweeteners are low-calorie because our bodies cannot metabolize them. They just pass through our digestive system without being absorbed. Fear of artificial sweeteners rose shortly after the first sweeteners were introduced in the food market. Although the Food and Drug Administration approved all of the artificial sweeteners found in local markets, they have also been known to cause cancer in lab rats. In one Purdue study, some rats that had been given both artificially sweetened liquids and regular sugar-sweetened liquids for about 10 days proceeded to eat more of a sugar-sweetened chocolate snack than...

...Analysis of an argument 1. The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozen foods. “Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.” Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion. Citing facts drawn from the color-film processing industry that indicate a downward trend in the costs of film processing over a 24-year period, the author argues that Olympic Foods will likewise be able to minimize costs and thus maximize profits in the future. In support of this conclusion...

...HLT 94 Assignment 1: Pro/Con Your assignment is to examine both sides of a nutrition issue and come to a conclusion. As an example: if you pick “Is alcohol good or bad for health,” you must find articles to support each side of the argument before you decide on your answer. This assignment is meant to help students develop skills in the General Education Proficiencies of Information Literacy, Reasoning & Analysis, and Communication. Steps: 1). Pick a question that is of interest to you from the list on Page 2. 2). Find 2 current articles that argue in favor of your topic and 2 articles that argue against your topic. All articles must be as recent as possible; no articles will be accepted that were published before 2009. Articles should be from reliable sources and must include 1 peer reviewed journal article. The other 3 sources can be from major newspapers (New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, for example), or from health or nutrition agencies associated with major hospitals, the government, universities, or well known voluntary health agencies (American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, for example). Blog posts will not be accepted. (If you have questions as to the reliability of an article, print it out and show it to your professor). 3). Print out copies of your articles (you will be handing them in along with your paper). Peer reviewed journal articles may be very long; it is acceptable to print and hand in just...

...designed as a "cure-all tonic" and contained coca leaves (Davis, 2004). Two years after creating the mixture, and just before he died, Dr. Pemberton sold the rights to the beverage to Asa Candler. Due to increasing demand Joseph Biedenharn started bottling Coca-Cola and bottled distribution of the soda began; within five years large scale bottling operations became available. Throughout the company's history, and even today, it has faced and overcame many challenges. Coca-Cola was, until recently, the world’s most valuable brand (Elliott, 2013), but is still the worldwide leader in the beverage industry. Through all the successes, Coca-Cola has encountered some challenges along the way. Coca-Cola has been criticized for discrimination against minority employees, poor working conditions of migrant workers, and even assassinations of trade union leaders and union-affiliated workers that provoked protests (Raman, 2007). Another emerging issue the company is facing is criticism that their products are contributing to health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, carcinogens, and numerous other reported problems (Chang & Rodolfo, 2009; Huilgol, 2006; Imai et al, 2010). Coca-Cola contains many different chemical compounds and is sold without labeling all of the contents (Huilgol, 2006; Imai et al, 2010). A report by CSE found a high pesticide content in Coca-Cola in India. The...

...CASE Procter & Gamble, Inc. Scope As Gwen Hearst looked at the year-end report, she was pleased to see that Scope held a 32 percent share of the Canadian mouthwash market for 1990. She had been concerned about the inroads that Plax, a prebrushing rinse, had made in the market. Since its introduction in 1988, Plax had gained a 10 percent share of the product category and posed a threat to Scope. As Brand Manager, Hearst planned, developed, and directed the total marketing effort for Scope, Procter & Gamble’s (P&G) brand in the mouthwash market. She was responsible for maximizing the market share, volume, and profitability of the brand. Until the entry of Plax, brands in the mouthwash market were positioned around two major benefits: fresh breath and killing germs. Plax was positioned around a new benefit—as a “plaque fighter”—and indications were that other brands, such as Listerine, were going to promote this benefit. The challenge for Hearst was to develop a strategy that would ensure the continued profitability of Scope in the face of these competitive threats. Her specific task was to prepare a marketing plan for P&G’s mouthwash business for the next three years. It was early February 1991, and she would be presenting the plan to senior management in March. ■ COMPANY BACKGROUND Based on a philosophy of providing products of superior quality and value that best fill the needs of consumers, Procter & Gamble is one of the most successful consumer goods companies in the world...

...across a deeply committed humanitarian organization that provides an ecologically sustainable answer to global hunger and malnutrition. The sad reality is that Monsanto is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and perhaps one of the most unethical corporate giants in the world today. I will argue that Monsanto is on a power trip, and that they have a hidden agenda that has nothing to do with compassion, ecology or human hunger, and everything to do with greed. In the following paragraphs, I will provide a brief history of Monsanto. Then I will examine some of the promises made in their marketing propaganda, and provide evidence that these promises are little more than blatant lies. Monsanto started out in 1901 developing a highly controversial artificial sweetener called saccharine. Monsanto eventually shifted their focus to genetically modified plants and animals. They are still a major chemical production corporation, developing and marketing Roundup and several other herbicides, Bovine Growth Hormone, and genetically modified seeds. Among the most widely recognized of their genetically modified products include corn, soy and canola. These seeds have a gene inserted that makes them resistant to Monsanto's own herbicide called Roundup. These seed crops are called Roundup Ready. The purpose of Roundup is to destroy weeds that threaten crops. Seeds that are Roundup Ready can be heavily sprayed with Roundup without killing the plant. The plants are kept weed-free. This sounds like a good thing...

...ECONOMICS IN ONE LESSON by Henry Hazlitt Nobel Laureate in Economics, F.A. Hayek said in 1974 about Hazlitt‟s book: “It is a brilliant performance. It says precisely the things which need most saying and says them with rare courage and integrity. I know of no other modern book from which the intelligent layman can learn so much about the basic truths of economics in so short a time.” (Back cover) “This book is an analysis of economic fallacies that are at last so prevalent that they have almost become a new orthodoxy....its effort is to show that many of the ideas which now pass for brilliant innovations and advances are in fact mere revivals of ancient errors, and a further proof of the dictum that those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it.” (pp. 9-10) “As Morris R. Cohen has remarked: „The notion that we can dismiss the views of all previous thinkers surely leaves no basis for the hope that our own work will prove of any value to others.‟” (interior quote: Reason and Nature (1931), p.x.; Hazlitt, p.10) “It is the beliefs which politically influential groups hold and which governments act upon that we are interested in here, not the historical origins of those beliefs....Fallacies, when they have reached the popular stage, become anonymous anyway.” (p.11) The Lesson: “Economics is haunted by more fallacies than any other study known to man. This is no accident.” (p. 15) “While every group has certain economic interests identical with those of all groups, every...

But in agriculture, unlike other industries where women were viewed as temporary workers, women’s employment did not end with the war. Instead, the expansion of agriculture and a steady decrease in the number of male farmworkers combined to cause the industry to hire more women in the postwar years...
