...Nasir 8 October 2015 Our Food Is Harming Us Introduction Many people nowadays go to a grocery store and buy groceries for the house. However, people do not look at the ingredients. If people would see the label on the packed food, they will be confused because they will not understand some of the names of the chemicals. If people realize that the food that they eat every day is harmful to our body because the amount of sugar that is being dumped in the food, they will stop eating that kind of food and start to eat healthy fresh organic food. The food that we eat on a daily basis will affect our long-term health specially the students; also, the food industry does not care about people’s health instead it cares only for money. In this paper, I will show that food industry is destroying people’s health on one hand by putting an enormous amount of sugar and on the other hand making low-fat products. What are the people really eating? Once in my human biology class Dr. Walter Hoeh said: “The food that you eat every day will not kill you now but it will kill you after twenty to thirty years from eating the food, however, eventually you will die from the food.” He explained how food affect us, when we heard the explanation we were shocked because we buy food without reading the ingredient. When you eat processed food it tastes delicious and you crave for more, but you are only eating sugar and harmful fats and that type of sugar and fats are harming the human body. According to...

...Kraft Foods and Cadbury Introduction The confectionary industry all over the world is comprised of three products, that is, gum, sugar and confectionary. But the world-wide economic recession which in the last few years hit the North American and European markets, adversely affected the confectionary sales. In addition, undue pressure affected the sales volumes as more people moved towards healthier lifestyles, in attempt to avoid what they termed as unhealthy foods. In these developed countries, there are growing concerns about obesity and its side effects. Confectionary makers are now making smaller packets so as to reduce the prices of the purchase which in a way is kind of addressing some of the concerns about unhealthy foods. This is done by improving the portion control even though it increases the sales volumes per kilo, but does not affect the profit margins adversely. Even though the confectionary may tend to be termed as a luxury food item, the sales value appears to be recovering steadily from adversity. In the quest of offering premium products which are more profitable than increasing the sales volumes, the confectionary makers are offering what is seen as low value confectionary. These new products include pro-biotic and antioxidant chocolate. However, the current depression is expected to limit the growth of confectionary, because it is seen as a non-essential food item. Nevertheless, chocolate appears to be picking up in the market and was expected to...

...Reducing Sugar Consumption Introduction: From large sugar cane fields to acres of beets, sugar is processed into a million dollar industry that satisfies the world’s sweet tooth. However, market failure exists among our society and health. As a public health regulator, I am tracking policies that attempt to reduce America’s sugar consumption in response to the dramatic rise in obesity over the last thirty years. The first target is adults and the sugar beverage industry, particularly, the consumption of regular sodas. I will detail four specific policy proposals that the government should consider on the sale of regular soda: taxes, subsidies, provisions and restrictions. In various outcomes, each policy could provide incentive for individuals toward a healthier lifestyle. Sugar is on the road to becoming America’s next controlled substance. Background: The United States is currently in a dangerous cycle of sugar consumption and disease with nearly two out of every three adults categorized as overweight or obese.(Figure 1,2) Among those characterized, their bodies were given a surplus in calories without an equal response of physical activity. Obesity restricts productivity, lower one’s quality of life, and reduces life expectancy. The excess body fat results in significant health problems such as an increased risk of developing high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, depression and even orthopedic problems. Additionally, the society bears the bulk of the costs associated...

Our goal is to bring back this brand which was once at the heart of teen popular culture. We will focus on bringing two new products to the Kool-Aid lineup: sugar-free premixed and energy drink. The target market for sugar free Kool-Aid is soccer moms who generally have one to three children ages four to fourteen. We believe these moms will like the idea of having an alternative to sugary sports drinks and sodas for their children. The target market for Kool-Aid energy drink is young adults who enjoy sports and gaming. We believe that these people drink energy drinks more often and grew up with Kool-Aid and will be happy to see it return in a form they can drink and still feel like adults. We plan to run full page advertisements in magazines such as Better Homes and Gardens and many gaming and sports magazines. We have allocated 7% of the revenue from Kool-Aid for advertising these new products. Once a sufficient number of advertisements have run, we will survey...

...consumption of sugar in Europe. Through the effects of colonization on production and the connection between sugar’s symbolism and usage, the consumption habits between socioeconomic classes within English society will be examined, specifically the expansion of its use from the elite to popular classes. To begin, the crusaders who “became the supervisors of sugar-cane cultivation” (28) had introduced Europe to sugar in the twelfth century. With its introduction, Europeans became fascinated, unable to satiate their appetites for the plant and desired a stake in producing their own. In the case of the United Kingdom (UK), they had acquired “Barbados, Jamaica, and other sugar...

Read more: Cuba: Introduction — Infoplease.com http://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/world/cuba.html#ixzz2GUW8nEZZ Land and People Cuba is the largest and westernmost of the islands of the West Indies and lies strategically at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, with the western section only 90 mi (145 km) S of Key West, Fla. The south coast is washed by the Caribbean Sea, the north coast by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and in the east the Windward Passage separates Cuba from Haiti. The shores are often marshy and are fringed by coral reefs and cays. There are many fine seaports—Havana (the chief import point), Cienfuegos, Matanzas, Cárdenas, Nuevitas, Santiago de Cuba, and Guantánamo (a U.S. naval base since 1903). Of the many rivers, only the Cauto is important. The climate is semitropical and generally uniform, and like most other Caribbean nations Cuba is subject to hurricanes. Cuba has three mountain regions: the wild and rugged Sierra Maestra in the east, rising to 6,560 ft (2,000 m) in the Pico Turquino; a lower range, the scenic Sierra de los Órganos, in the west; and the Sierra de Trinidad, a picturesque mass of hills amid the plains and rolling country of central Cuba, a region of vast sugar plantations. The rest of the island is level or rolling. The origins of the population include Spanish (over 35%), African (over 10%), and...
