...Marketing Mix: Coca Cola Any business must consider the marketing mix. This is a combination of factors that helps a business sell its product. There are a total of seven parts to the marketing mix: Price, Promotion, Place, Product, People, Physical Environment and Process. The ones in bold are the four main ones and the ones often referred to as the ‘4 Ps’. Throughout this essay, I will be using my reference to ‘Coca Cola’. The Coca-Cola Company is the world's largest beverage company, largest manufacturer, distributor and marketer of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups in the world and is one of the largest corporations in the world. The company is best known for its flagship product Coca-Cola, invented by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton in 1886. The Coca-Cola formula and brand was bought in 1889 by Asa Candler who incorporated The Coca-Cola Company in 1892.

...abuse. Until recently, food specifically sugar has gained enough momentum to be compared and classified as addictive as cocaine is (Ahmed et al.). There are 300,000 deaths per year related to obesity in the United States, making it the second most preventable cause of death (Flegal et. al). In comparison, there are only 47,000 deaths related to drug use (National Center for Health estimated Statistics). This essay will explore, sugar, the underlying issue contributing to the obesity epidemic. In the documentary from “Sugar Coated” they state that “in the past 30 years obesity rates have doubled to 600 million… and diabetes rates have tripled to 347 million worldwide.” Comparably in that...

...APUSH Study Guide 8 A weak Confederacy and the Constitution, 1776-1790 Themes/Constructs: The federal Constitution represented a moderately conservative reaction against the democratilizing effects of the Revolution and the Articles of Confederation. The American Revolution was not a radical transformation like the French or Russian revolutions, but it produced political innovations and some social change in the direction of greater equality and democracy. The American Revolution did not overturn the social order, but it did produce substantial changes in social customs, political institutions, and ideas about society and government. Among the changes were the separation of church and state in some places, the abolition of slavery in the North, written political constitutions, and a shift in political power from the eastern seaboard toward the frontier. The first weak government, the Articles of Confederation, was unable to exercise real authority, although it did successfully deal with the western lands issue. The Confederation’s weakness in handling foreign policy, commerce and the Shays Rebellion spurred the movement to alter the Articles. Instead of revising the Articles, the well-off delegates to the Constitutional Convention created a charter for a whole new government. In a series of compromises, the convention produced a plan that provided for a vigorous central government, a strong executive, the protection for property, while still upholding republican...

...582 MAINE LAW REVIEW [Vol. 65:2 A NATIONAL “NATURAL” STANDARD FOR FOOD LABELING Nicole E. Negowetti * I. I NTRODUCTION What do Juicy Juice fruit punch, SunChips, Nature Valley granola bars, and Skinny Girl Margaritas have in common? These products are all branded with the term “natural.” From canned vegetables to cereals to soft drinks, the term “natural” has become one of the most common claims on foods, drugs, dietary supplements, and personal care products. The word “natural” on a label or in advertising brings to mind nature, and things that are pure, clean, healthy, 1 free of artificial additives, 2 and therefore safe, harmless, and beneficial to overall health. In 2011, “all-natural” was the second-most-used claim on new American food products. 3 The food industry’s marketing of such products has been extremely successful. In 2009, sales of products with a “natural” claim reached $22 billion, 4 and a recent study found that the “natural” claim is the most popular among consumers. When asked “which is the best description to read on a food label,” 31% of consumers selected “100% natural” and 25% selected “all natural ingredients.” 5 Although both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) are statutorily mand ated to protect consumer interests by prohibiting false and misleading labeling, both agencies have refused to formally * Assistant Professor of Law, Valparaiso University Law School.

...consumed than pronounced, niacinamide, sodium ascorbate, and thiamine hydrochloride, are some of the linguistic anomalies that make up my “all natural” Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. The confusion on the nutrition label is a microcosm for what is happening to us, and to our society at large. With more available information today than ever before, we don’t know what we should eat, or even what we’re eating. The truth is that every phase of the food cycle, from manufacturing to consumption, has become corrupted. This corruption, furthermore, will have ramification for future generations. This is because food manufacturing is not only making our bodies sick, but it also has a devastating impact on our environment as well. Using corn as an example, this essay seeks to explain how we are becoming sickened by food. Unsurprisingly, farms are responsible for producing much of the food we eat, as well as the food for the animals we eat. Ideally, in a natural farm system, agriculture has a symbiotic relationship with its ecosystem. For example, natural, healthy soil contains water and nutrients for crops to grow. When the crops are harvested, their remains go back into the earth and act as fertilizer to replenish lost nutrients. Similarly, when livestock grazes, their waste is returned to the earth in the form of fertilizer. Fundamentally, in a natural system, whatever is taken from nature is given back. When food is grown in this manner, it reaches its potential in terms of taste and nutrition with...

...Food Ethic Essay by *encyclopediaMurphy Food Ethic Food remains one of the most important resources in our daily life, and where it's grown, processed, and sold all take part in our daily lives. More controversy unfolds every year with the development of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and the ethical treatment of animals. But that's only scratching the surface of the food system. Climate change, fuel prices, and the economy are all indirectly effected by the agriculture business. Most of the food you purchase probably comes from a conventional farm, and was processed in a factory and then packaged, shipped, and sold at your local grocery store. Conventional farming usually involves working with GMOs for a higher crop yield and more of a profit. However, while it may be cheaper to purchase that food, in the long run organic has more health benefits for you. Organic uses much less synthetic pesticides to grow, and this enhances the production of vitamins and antioxidants in the plant. Organi2c seems like the obvious choice, right? I've grown to not be too trustworthy of the USDA and what they supposedly label "organic" since understanding their misguiding language. Most USDA organic certified foods aren't entirely organic. "Made with organic ingredients" can mean that only 70% of it is actually organic, and "organic" in foods with multiple ingredients is at least 95%. Many people choose to purchase from local organic farms and community supported agriculture (CSA)...

...SUPPLY AND DEMAND WHAT IS THIS CHAPTER ALL ABOUT? This chapter introduces market behavior and the intricacies of the market mechanism. It is helpful to continue to answer the basic questions of WHAT, HOW, and FOR WHOM and to briefly outline how the market system answers them. The chapter focuses on the allocative and distributive functions of the price system. The section on disequilibrium pricing -- price ceilings and floors -- provides an opportunity to illustrate the upside and downside of interference with market pricing mechanisms. The opening illustration of a kidney sale on eBay demonstrates the power and potential problems of markets. This introduction sets the general direction of this chapter, which is to look at how the market system answers the following questions: 1. What determines the price of a good or a service? 2. How does the price of a product affect its production and consumption? 3. Why do prices and production levels often change?
