...Thanksgiving (According to the Turkey) I am a turkey who lives at a farm with other turkeys. But Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Then I remembered what happened last year on this day. On Thanksgiving, the farmer came in and chose one of us and took him away. After a few hours, I heard the farmer speaking to his wife saying, “That sure was one yummy turkey.” I knew that this means that the turkey the farmer chose will become food to the humans. Some of you might be wondering, how many turkeys are killed for your satisfaction. But first, how about I tell you about my life as a turkey. Every year, especially around Thanksgiving day, the farmers feed us a lot of food. Apparently, the farmers give us only corn and soybeans. I don’t know why they give us these. The farmers also give us these vitamins or minerals for no apparent reason. I guess that the farmer just wants us all to be a healthy turkey before they choose one of us. But I hear that in the wild, turkeys are free and can do whatever. Unlike...

...wide choice of dog food available in supermarkets and pet supplies today. This can make it difficult to decide which is the best dog food for your best friend. This may be one of the most commonly asked questions by pet owners when they take their dogs to their veterinarian. The answer really is not definitive. There really is not one "best" that is suitable for all gogs across the board. The answer can be narrowed down by looking at each dog. Dogs are very much like people. Some dogs are extremely active to the point that they are often labelled hyper. Some dogs are built big and tough and some small and delicate. Each will need a diet tailored specifally to that dog's physical needs. However, understanding...

...Cassandra L. Wilson Hus101 Professor Christia 02/01/2016 My Food Stamp Project Results Living in certain environments will affect how you chose to spend your money on groceries. Feeding a family of four is not easy but spending on a budget is even harder. Being allotted a certain amount of money from food stamps, has really made me realize the true value of your choices. I shopped at BI-LO because it was close to my home. That’s another barrier when your choices of grocery stores are not available. My main objective was to make sure that my family of four was feed for the entire week. My family consists of myself, my husband, and our two children. The amount of my food stamps for the week was $162.25. That’s not a whole lot but I succeeded at feeding my family. The first thing I had to do was to make a grocery list. My original grocery list consisted of: Grits, eggs, toast, orange juice, bacon, milk, red hot links, Roger wood sausage, hamburger meat, French fries, Cranberry juice, peaches, hot dogs, Hawaiian punch, Pepsi, tuna, apples, peanut butter, jelly, noodles and oodles, corn chips, potato chips, chicken, rice, cornbread, collards, pork chop, roast beef, cabbages, neck bones, turkey necks, sweet peas, liver pudding, oatmeal, and kool aid. When I made my list I was thinking of buying items in bulk. That way we could use some of the items for more than one meal. When living on a budget, you have to make very important choices about quantity. I know that...

...Eating turkey without a fork seems pretty hard. It’s all greasy and then it would get everywhere. Well, they didn’t use forks in the first Thanksgiving. Imagine trying to eat things like peas without a fork. They would just fall roll right off the spoon, or you would have to grab them with your hands. Gross! Imagine other people’s hands touching your food. Who knows where their hands have been or whether or not they washed them before they started eating. Thanksgiving traditions have changed a lot, and there is a huge variety of them too. I have found that many people like to watch football on Thanksgiving. In the morning, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is on from start to finish. After that is over, football is on television for the rest...

...Organic Pet Food Marketing Plan September 14, 2007 NAICS Industry Code: Dog and Cat Manufacturing 311111 Abstract: This marketing plan provides a plan for entering the organic pet food product as an existing producer of non-organic pet foods based current market conditions and trends following several high profile food safety recalls and alerts, particularly the Melamine-related deaths from pet food imported from China. The pet food industry has experienced enormous growth as part of the overall $41 billion annual pet products and services industry, and promises to move in the directions of increased natural, organic, and health oriented products as consumers increase organic consumption and become aware of safety issues in traditional food supplies. Our analysis will look at the desired strategic positioning for traditional pet foods, organic pet foods, and the target demographic based on our research. The market analysis and competitor research reveals a market segment currently occupying less than 1% of pet food sales, but with tremendous growth potential.

...No Turkey for Thanksgiving “What do you mean we aren’t having turkey for Thanksgiving?” My family has become set in our ways when it comes to the food menus for holidays. You could say my family has created folkways for our holiday meals governing the “when and what to eat” -- concept. Folkways are defined by Joan Ferrante, as norms that apply to the mundane aspects or details of daily life (Ferrante 50). My family has developed many folkways around the holidays, so much so that if anyone tries to change them up it disrupts the norm of the holiday for us. The traditional family does everything by the book as far as preparing holiday meals but sometimes changes up the menu. In my family, we are so set in our way that if something is missing, it can cause drama and make for grumpy family members. My family has developed many folkways that are centered on the foods we eat for certain holiday meals, such as 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The typical 4th of July meal that my family prepares is barbequed hamburgers, hot dogs, potato and/or pasta salads, chips, dips, and fruit, usually cantaloupe and watermelon. Thanksgiving dinner consists of turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy and all the other traditional Thanksgiving dishes. Christmas dinner is usually prime rib, baked potatoes, salad and all things that go along with a prime rib dinner. Our most traditional Christmas meal is prime rib, and it would be really strange if that was not on...

...Utilitarian Approach to Non-Human Life Randi A. Teel PHI208 Ethic and Moral Reasoning Instructor Galen Johnson June 23, 2014 \ Animals: Deserving of Utilitarianism? 1 Utilitarianism is best defined as given a choice between two acts, the one that creates greater happiness for the greatest number of people should be chosen. This should be applied to non-human beings as well. Animals are essential in our everyday lives. They provide companionship, nourishment for our bodies and can provide amazement to our eyes when seen in their natural habitat. They are important in human life. They deserve respect. We as the superior being should make decisions for non-humans based on the utilitarianism approach creating greater happiness or good for the greater numbers. Our decisions based on this approach when making choices where non-humans are concerned will be a beneficial choice for both humans and animals. So what do humans and animals have in common? René Descartes, for instance, regarded animals as simply “physical bodies that lacked minds or souls; thus, animals were similar to organic machines.” (Mosser, 2013) This type of thought is also coincides with Western and Christian thinking. That is, all is ranked from highest to lowest. God and Angels are the highest...

...This hi-tech piece of machinery can distill flavored juice from whatever kind of food that is put into it. The trick to this gadget is to heat whatever food is in it to a boiling point, at which point the condensation forms. As cool as the Micro Evaporator sounds, it too comes with a price. More specifically, it comes with a price of $3,000. Thanksgiving may be a very “American” holiday (I mean, we celebrate by eating, sleeping, and watching football). And now there is a way to eat any kind of meat, whether it’s chicken, pork, beef, or even your Thanksgiving turkey. For just $8, the Ham Dogger will put any meat into the form of a hot dog for you to enjoy on a bun or on a stick.

This will cost you...

...Dog food is great By T. J. Dunn, Jr., DVM "What is the best food to feed a dog?" Every day veterinarians are asked that question by dog owners. It's a sincere question because most dog owners want to feed the very best to their furry friends. Good health begins with proper nutrition, regardless of price or convenience of acquisition. Please understand that the entire discussion on this page relates to healthy dogs with no kidney, thyroid, food allergy or other abnormal conditions. Also, the content of this page is my opinion regarding the "best" dry food and how to determine what you think is "best" to feed dogs. A big reason why it i is strictly an opinion, there is no single answer to the question "What is the best diet to feed a dog?" Or if there is an answer it is, "It depends". Over the past 37 years I have been examining dogs and cats in my practices I have made it a point to ask the owner "What diet are you feeding?" I have gotten all sorts of answers but in every case I relate the owner's response to what I am seeing in the patient. And over the years my suggestions regarding what to feed have changed. Originally I took the pet food manufacturer's declarations as fact -- that an assortment of "Complete and Balanced" pet foods were perfectly nourishing because that wording was not legally permitted on pet food labels unless feeding trials demonstrated its veracity. I eventually discovered I was mistaken in the belief that any "Complete and Balanced"...

...Lyme disease, like some ailments, affect humans and animals, this means humans and animals can be influenced by it. Any animal that can be bitten by a tick can receive Lyme disease, this includes horses, cats, dogs, and more. Similar to a large percentage of diseases Lyme disease is affected by the biodiversity of the area and the biosphere. But how does the amount of biodiversity affect the rate of Lyme disease? Biodiversity improves the overall health of an ecosystem. Lyme disease is an illness caused by the spiral shaped bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi and it is transmitted to humans by the bite of a tick. Usually a blacklegged tick or a deer tick, blacklegged on the west coast and Deer ticks on the east coast. Lyme disease can infect all organs in your body and the symptoms of Lyme disease are similar to the symptoms of other common illnesses. Because of this it is difficult to correctly identify Lyme disease therefore the estimates of people with Lyme disease are not entirely correct. However, thanks to the research of scientists we are becoming excellent at identifying it. Let me bring you back to 1975, when the first case of Lyme disease was discovered. Back then, there were more forests and biodiversity was higher,...

...Loving Animals to Death The Food Movement: 1. The purpose of this section is to get the reader thinking about the where the food comes from that they eat. Many people care more about how that animal was taken care of, how it was grown, and what was pumped into it, rather than what part of the animal they eat. Individuals are wanting justice for animals and hoping for more local farms that treat their animals fairly. The goal of food movement is that it is healthy, accessible, and to eliminate the corporation farms. This paragraph raises some questions about how people should go about this, and even questions if farmers should stop raising animals for consumption completely. 2. The writer effectively makes his opinions clear by using the example...
