...Every time you go to a fast food restaurant, you always get that huge cup that you will use to fill with your loved soda, right? You may think that it will only make you a little bit fatter and that it will not bring many problems for you, right? This is totally wrong. Many people, and even me, love soda and drink it just because it tastes good, but why is so harmful for your body and what kind of problems can bring for us? First I will tell you what you can find in a normal can of soda and second I will inform you of some problems that you may get drinking it. In the composition of soda, you can find preservatives (substances that have to keep the soda good to drink), antioxidants, liquids that color the soda, stabilizers, flavoring and aromatic substances, among other unhealthy substances. If it weren't for the economic powers and the clear interests of certain sectors, soda should carry a warning label similar to the one that cigarettes have. Like drugs and cigarettes, soda may bring many harmful effects to the human body. Too much soda consumption increases the risk of suffering from osteoporosis, due to the action of phosphoric acid, which prevents calcium absorption, weakening our bones. A study made by Tufts University found that people who drank only three sodas per week had an average 4 percent bone loss (in regions such as the hips) than the group of people who took in another type of drink. Many kids today face a big problem that soda...

...Chapter I Introduction Ice cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors. Most varieties contain sugar, although some are made with other sweeteners. In some cases, artificial flavorings and colorings are used in addition to the natural ingredients. Philippines’ version for ice cream: Sorbetes is usually produced from unknown factories and sold from carts that roam the streets, exposing it to pollution. Thus, it is also called dirty ice cream; though it is not really dirty as the name implies. Kids love ice cream, and so do grown-ups, but to indulge in this frozen delight can mean a lot of fat and calories, depending on the choices. The calories in a cup of ice cream can vary anywhere from 180 to 600, depending on brand, fat content, sugar content, and flavor. Nonfat or fat-free ice creams contain virtually no fat: vegetable gums are added to make them creamy and mixtures are made in soft serve machines to whip in additional air and ice crystals. Most nonfat ice creams contain 90 to 100 calories per half cup but not all, leaving health-conscious consumers, who avoid calories and fat, fewer options, or none at all. A newly industrialized country, the Philippine economy has been transitioning from one based on agriculture to one based more on services and manufacturing. Despite this, the agricultural sector employs close to 32% of the country's total labor force of around...

...Introduction In this paper, I will be writing about case number 6.3 Speaking Out About Malt. I will be using Utilitarianism as my moral theory and will show that the principles of the case are acting morally. Summary of Case Mary Davis was an associate vice president for Whitewater Brewing Company. Her husband was working on his MBA and convinced her to take a night class with him. She enrolled in the class and had to write a term paper. She decided to write her term paper on the study of wine and beer marketing. In her paper, Mary spoke about the marketing of malt liquor, which is a beer brewed with sugar for stronger alcohol content. Malt liquor was bottled in a 40 ounce container and was sold for two dollars. The popularity of the 40s grew and became a favorite of the inner-city teenagers and the popularity later grew to suburbs. Malt liquor had strong alcohol content and the teenage drinkers fell in love with the quick drunk. It earned nicknames such as, “liquid crack” and “date rape brew”. Mary Davis’ paper was adored by her instructor and encouraged her to publish it in the newspaper. However, she was working for Whitewater Brewing Company and it brewed malt liquor also, called Rafter. The CEO of Whitewater claimed that Mary acted irresponsible and her paper damaged the company’s image. The CEO then ordered Mary not to comment publicly on the issue. She talked to her colleague about the situation and told her colleague that her paper contained true information...

It has achieved a worldwide expansion, being part of the top brands in the sports and energy drinks industry. Moreover, its brand is one of the most recognized in the world. Consumers immediately relate their logo and slogan to extreme sports and other adrenaline-filled activities. Their brand image is powerful and stronger than brands like Nike and Apple. However, the company has been failing in targeting international consumer behaviors. It has been losing consumers due to the rise of competitors, lingering in new product development, and to its specific target market of 16-year-old youngsters. The company is now behind Monsters Energy in the United States and, in the worldwide sports drinks market, behind Gatorade (Pepsi) and PowerAde (Coca-Cola). Moreover, it has been missing large market opportunities such as Latin American countries that have a large consumption of soft drinks. Their approach to consumers needs to change in order to recover their position as the leader energy and sports drinks...

...Nestle From bean to bar – the production process Summary Concepts: Production, chocolate, cocoa, beans, Nestlé, manufacturing, chain, market, consumers, raw materials, economy, supply chain, industry, resources. Summary: Amazingly, UK consumers have a choice of over 5,000 chocolate lines available from 150,000 outlets. Because it is so widely and readily available, we tend to take chocolate for granted, and few of us probably ever consider what is involved in producing it. We don't know who first discovered that cocoa beans could be turned into a drink, but we do know that by 600AD the Mayan people living in what is now Mexico were growing cocoa in the jungles of Yucatan. In the mid-19th century an English cocoa manufacturer, Joseph Storrs Fry, tried mixing cocoa butter with sugar and cocoa paste and invented the world's first solid blocks of chocolate. All over the world you will find prominent brands first developed in the UK e.g. Smarties, Dairy Milk, Aero and of course Kit Kat (the UK's Number 1 selling confectionery brand since 1985). Boxed chocolates such as Quality Street make up 15% of the confectionery market. Blocks and bars like Kit Kat and Yorkie account for 65% and bitesize chocolates e.g. Smarties and Rolo make up 10% Chocolate manufacture provides steady employment and job security for tens of thousands of employees in manufacturing locations like York and Birmingham. The industry also generates jobs in marketing, administration...

...Hedging involves taking an offsetting position in a derivative in order to balance any gains or losses to the underlying asset (Sargeant, 2014). Most companies in existence today do this (futures contract) to keep interest rates and other prices stable in case they do go up. For instance, a company that makes doughnuts might by its raw materials (sugar and flour) at an established price with its supplier set for a certain amount of time, which is probably six months to a year, and an airline company might set up bids with fuel companies to purchase jet fuel at a price set for a year, keeping airfares as low as possible. Most investors and analysts view interest rates as today’s biggest threat to the stock market. Mostly rising interest because higher interest makes riskier assets less attractive yet they make less risky assets more attractive (Gad, 2013). Bud Haslett, head of risk management and derivatives for the CFA Institute, mentions that derivatives can decrease risk substantially if used properly to hedge risk exposures but if used improperly, many problems can be caused. Mr. Haslett also mentions how companies that hedge against price or rate fluctuations have the advantage of more consistent cash flow (Brin, 2011). Speculators make bets or guesses on where they hope or think the market is headed. If they believe a stock may be overpriced, they might possibly short sell that stock and wait for the price to hopefully decline so they can buy the stock back to receive...
