...truth. Chickens are being injected with drugs, hormones, antibiotics, corn, and other types of harmful things in order to have them grow faster and sell quicker. I believe that the food industry should not be injecting hormones or antibiotics into our animal product in order to satisfy their needs. It is an absolutely wrong way to harvest food and can bring harm not only to the animals but to us. The food industry is very well aware that if people knew what they were eating, they wouldn’t want to eat it in the first place. The faster farmers can raise their animals the more easily their supply can be sold.These chickens are raised in filthy cages their whole lives while being mistreated. They are fed corn, drugs, hormones, GMOs, and others to grow faster and become larger and because of their heavy weight they get crippled or suffer from all kinds of diseases like bronchitis, ammonia, weakened immune system, respiratory problems or organ failures. These chickens are also fed all kinds of drugs that have arsenic and antibiotics, but what the food industry doesn’t want us to know is that two thirds of chickens in the grocery stores are contaminated with arsenic, dangerous bacteria or salmonella. All these diseases that are in these chickens are a serious health concern for us. One of the diseases that are contaminated on these chickens is arsenic. Arsenic is a toxic chemical that causes cancer or even death. What we should know is that arsenic is added to chickens diet by...

...After spending hours in stuffy classrooms and smelling teacher’s coffee breathe, a student was beyond excited for the three minute drive to grab some grub. As she bit off half of the final McDonald’s chicken nugget, she looked down at what she thought was a perfectly crisped bite of goodness and saw a grayish brown looking pocket. In confusion, she pinched the nugget and a clear liquid began to ooze out. With incidents like these occurring more often, many authors have decided to alert the population consuming these products of the filth. An article published by Organic Authority, titled “What’s in Fast Food Chicken? (Hint: It’s NOT Chicken)” informs fast food eaters about the repulsive, modified chicken parts that they consume with every bite...

...might have had the balls to go to Hell’s Kitchen! But here’s a few facts that I’ve been through that might make you reconsider restaurants… Five things you might not know about restaurants… 1. Managing a Restaurant takes up all of your time When you decide to manage a restaurant, it’s worse than having a newborn child. You see, just like a child, it eats, breathes, shits, and cause havoc in your life. And just like a newborn child, it requires your constant attention. And like said new life in this world, you are ultimately responsible. It’s your day off? Fuck you! Somebody failed to show up for an important shift. You have a catering order to go out? You have to be there for it. You watch and plan everyday for as long as you’re in charge. Corporate makes you hire a new manager? Now you’re fucked. Not only are you responsible for making sure that they learn all the systems and procedures, you HAVE to let them fail so they can learn, only to clean up their mess. And as a training manager, you have the added cost of their labor on your books. Thank you powers that be! Let me hold some idiots’ hand and walk them through how to be a retard on my dime. Don’t get me wrong, we all need to learn and grow, but corporate doesn’t have to babysit. Speaking of babysitting… 2. The staff can be your worst nightmare. Imagine that you are in charge of a high school classroom. Now I want you to imagine that classroom trusted to bring paying guests their food and getting along with each...

...The statement is saying that the US Department of Agriculture values chicken nuggets and Tater Tots over healthful fresh foods in school cafeterias because the later lacks sufficient calories while the former provides ample. The article argues that this trend is occurring because the USDA, which is in charge or forming and enforcing federal laws about agriculture and food, is rigged by commercial interests to promote not what’s healthy, but what’s cheap to make and hits the calorie requirements the fastest. These commercial interests are represented in the farm bill, which subsidizes corn, soybean, and wheat while doing almost nothing to support the growth of fresh produce. That’s because commercial interests lobby for subsidies for corn and soybean which can be modified into tasty sugars and fats, which attracts consumers, thus allowing the commercial interests to gain profit in power, which leads to more lobbying and greater subsidies in their interest. This positive feedback cycle is at the root of the obesity problem, and explains why chicken nuggets and Tater Tots (both including modified corn and soy in their...

...good idea, but the results were catastrophic in the health aspect. Now that fast food has become one of the top industries in the world, everything has gone awry. The fast food industry has drastically changed the way people view food, how convenience is rising and the cost for products. Fast food restaurants first started as drive-ins with carhops, but in the 1980’s drive-thru windows began. McDonald’s was one of the first ones to convert from carhops to drive-thru windows. The idea of fast food service brought about a whole new concept to how we view food. Without proper education in the health field typical Americans would not know what their body needs and what they consume. Maybe if that was the case the obesity rate and rates of chronic heart disease would plummet and we could focus on more important problems. When these restaurants began to spring up, it spread like wildfire. Sonic, McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s and etc. all became multi-million dollar companies. They discovered they could mass-produce products that were cheap and that could make them money faster than what they had to been doing before (Super-Size Me). Fast food has sprung up and become a leading industry because they are focused on quick, cheap food for people. Despite how bad it is for them it is cheap and fast to produce. They are extremely convenient due to the drive-thru windows that are being incorporated into any and all fast food restaurants. The food that you buy is relatively inexpensive and...

...Disease Trends And The Delivery Of Health Care Services Shatarra Belton University of Phoenix According to Smithsonian.com, by 2050 the United States population is estimated to be around 422 to 458 million people (Kotkin, 2010). The United States is also expected to grow an older population due to the fact a portion of the population is at least 65 years of age or older. This number is expected to increase by 20 percent by 2050 (Kotkin, 2010). The aging trend will show how many illnesses will decrease over time, illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes. Heart disease and diabetes are both controlling factors in some cases. Some controlling factors of heart disease are hypertension or high blood pressure, high cholesterol, being overweight, even poor diet. Heart disease is also known as the silent killer because many Americans are unaware that they are affected by this disease. By being able to control these factors early on, will prevent any future problems in the cardiovascular system. Being overweight or obese along with poor diet consisted of high intake of salts, unsaturated and saturated fats can add on causes to heart disease. Being diagnosed with diabetes can also lead to other life threatening illnesses. Diabetes is when there is a significant amount of glucose being produced or not enough insulin being produced in the body. Controlling factors such as food intake, daily exercise and maintaining a healthy...

...success. Second, I will examine some specific strategies that were adopted by MacDonald’s and how the strategies fitted the structure in place. In furtherance, I will examine why MacDonald’s selected the strategies in response to the dynamic external environment. Finally, the concluding statement will contain a summing up of approaches in achieving the business strategic goals. Keywords: Approaches, MacDonald’s structure, strategies, Quality, speed, Cost Background McDonald’s is a well known fast food restaurant in 119 Countries around the World. The business was established in the year 1940 by two brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald at 1398 North E street at West 14th street in San Bernardino, California. They are well known on the fast food market for hamburgers as well as branding. The business was established after Dick and Mac re-locating their hotdog stand from Monrovia Airport to San Bernadino. Speedee Service System was adopted in 1948 when they (Dick and Mac) realised that hamburger was the most popular product among all other products. The adoption of the Speedee Service System concept made the management to create a special production line for producing hamburger before customer put in their order (Hassan T. 2011). A recent article (Anon, 2012) stated that, MacDonald’s is servicing 58 million customers on a daily basis all over the World with more than 1.5 million employees. How comes such a huge success...

...and fed. I felt so repulsed when I saw how the cattle was brutally slaughter. The industry has been doing this for years, and we are not doing anything about it. I never really thought about how the animals were treated. I had an idea that it was probably done in a way that was efficient for the industry to supply meat to multiple supermarket across the U.S. Another thing that I never really thought about, was how fast the meat is supplied to supermarkets. I never asked myself how it is possible for all supermarkets to always have beef, chicken and fish available. We live in a society were everything is fast-paced. It was very astonishing to see that all of the animals we eat are feed with corn to quickly speed up the process of distributing the meat. After seeing the graphic scenes captured, I told myself that I would never eat meat again. However, once I went back home I found myself craving chicken nuggets. When I got hungry, I forgot only for a split second about the movie! But when I remembered I felt so conflicted. It is difficult for me to stop eating meat, but I want to make a difference on the way our food is treated. I think this movie should be watched by everyone, so we can encourage (push) the meat industry to change the way they produce and supply our meat. While I was walking through the supermarket, I made sure to look for the “grass fed labels”. I feel like our generation is becoming more interested and aware of what we eat. I have been telling my friends and family...

...big opinion on this topic. There are many benefits to being a vegetarian. For example, they usually eat healthier, have better medical benefits, and show more compassion towards animals. If you ask me, these are good reasons to become a vegetarian. Have you ever stopped to think about if what you are eating is healthy or not? Well, usually, the meat people eat is extremley unhealthy. Vegetarians who eat their fruits and vegetables consume more vitamin C, vitamin E, phytochemicals, which helps fight off desiese, and many more. Some of the meats, like red meat, have people fooled. Those who eat red meat, have a better chance of getting heart desiese, cancer, and having strokes, but many think that it is healthy for you simply because it has protein. There are numerous things that you do not know about the meats you eat. One thing that scares me about meat, is you never know what was fed to the animal, and exactly what part you are eating.. For example, McDonald's chicken nuggest are a big thing. Do you know how they are made? They completley grind the chicken, then make the nuggets out of the meat and who knows what else. In addition, many slaughter houses feed their animals steroids and antibiotics to make them grow at a faster pace. When we eat those animals, we are eating the medication fed to them. These medications are not ment for us to consume so when we eat too much of it, which most people do, it causes desieses. I think we should try to find new, healthier...

The top ten fast food chains with revenue made outside the United States from ten thru one are Dairy Queen, Dunkin Donuts, Wendy’s, Starbucks, Domino’s Pizza, Subway, Pizza Hut, Burger King, KFC, and McDonalds at number one with revenue total of 44 billion (Huffington Post Mar 12 2013). Some say that fast food chains that adapt themselves too much to other cultures are losing what made their businesses successful in the first place the idea that people in these for foreign countries eat at these restaurants to get a taste of American life not to eat the same thing they eat every day. That is really not the point of this to find out if that is true; this is simply about seeing how businesses adapt themselves to different cultures and be successful at it. I chose five regions of the world that will show how different fast food chains adapt to the tastes of different cultures the five regions are Europe, Africa, Middle East, India, and Asia. The reason for picking these regions is because they show just...

...Madison Blankenship English 101-004 Mr. Lyles October 19, 2012 Raising Cane’s Vs. Chick-fil-A Raising Cane’s and Chick-Fill-A are very popular fast food restaurants that both specialize in chicken. While both specialize in the same type of food, they conduct their businesses differently. Their presentations are similar in some areas and different in others. Kristin Mastre greatly explains that Raising Cane’s and Chick-fil-A can be easily compared through their environment, costs, nutrition, and variety in her article,“Throwdown! Chick-fil-A versus Raising Cane’s.” (par. 1). The environments of each restaurant provide an atmosphere that makes the customer want to return. Raising Cane’s has a very fun type of decoration using movie posters, band posters, and sports team decoration. It uses these posters to attract people of all ages to eat there. Raising Cane’s also allows their employees to show team spirit for sports’ teams around the area (Feasting Fort Collins, par. 7). This atmosphere makes the restaurant a perfect place to be after football games. Chick-fil-A has a family oriented environment. It has children play places, and very polite service. Chick-fil-A employees will always ask, “How they may serve you?” and answer the customer’s “Thank you” with “My pleasure.” The customer service creates an atmosphere so the customer feels that he or she is not actually in a fast food restaurant (Feasting Fort Collins, par. 5). Both restaurants provide outstanding environments...
