...Scientist Jared Diamond has worked for years trying to find an answer to a question, asked to him by a New Guinean, “Why do you white men have so much cargo and we New Guineans have so little?” Why did the Europeans succeeded so much more than the New Guineans? How did the Europeans have such a head start? Was it religion, trade, or another unknown aspect? Jared Diamond argues that geographic and environmental luck have been the most important factors allowing the Eurasian societies to dominate the rest of the world. Jared Diamond’s argument, geography was the reason civilizations advanced, is correct. For two reasons, the East to West axis spread, and the fact that the Europeans had better plants that were easy to farm and spread. The first reason geography was an important aspect to civilization is the East to West axis spread. First, according to document B, the East to West spread allowed Europeans to spread ideas, animals, plants, religion, language, and more throughout Europe. A main reason this spread was easy is because the continents of Europe and Asia have a large latitude,giving many places the same length of day, soil, and temperature, making it easy to travel and easy to plant the same plants successfully and domesticate the same animals. This spread also led to interconnection which gave Eurasia most of its power. According to document I, the East to West led to domesticated animals, plants, food storage, successful...

...Without wheat, civilizations would not have grown and expanded to exalted status, and there’s a good chance we may not be where we are today without it. Reliance on wheat is necessary to sustain the world population, but perhaps a restructuring of the food system is necessary. CD and NCGS shed light on the negatives of wheat consumption, with prevalence of both forms continuing to rise. Mounting evidence, anecdotally and scientifically, points to the benefits of a gluten free lifestyle. However systems in place like heavy government subsidies make it hard to avoid eating wheat, or expensive to eat a diet that eliminates it. CD could be an extreme response to what was once a universal, species-wide intolerance, rather than a genetic fault of few. I surveyed 6 qualities of wheat to justify why gluten free diets are not a fad: high levels of excito-toxins, exhibition of peptide molecular mimicry, lectins and tissue damage, and gliadin’s role in immune mediated instestinal damage, intestinal permeability, and pharmacological activity. Only time will tell if going back to a pre-Neolithic, grain-free diet is truly better for our health as...

...Gluten Alternative Prize 9 V. Implementation controls 9 Appendix A 10 Marketing Plan Project I. Executive Summary Udi’s and Celiac’s Foundation have invested 3 million dollars into Gluten Free Awareness (GFA) campaign for the next 3 years specifically to spread awareness of the gluten free lifestyle in San Francisco and Marin counties. A nation where we struggle with obesity, diseases, and disorders due to unrestricted diets it is lucrative that we spread the word about having a gluten-free diet. Gluten is the ingredient in most processed foods that helps in joining food particles together. It is the ingredient that makes pasta shiny, baked goods chewy, and gives dough its elasticity. Gluten is found in grains such as: Wheat barley rye triticale A gluten-free diet has proven to help ail or decrease the effects of a few different health problems. Imagine how beneficial gluten free can be for people who just need a way to get healthier. As you well know over the last three years our organization has gone from focusing only in Berkeley to covering Oakland as well. These areas have seen a noticeable increase in sales of GF marked products as compared to the rest of the Bay. We have also seen an increased awareness among non-white races that have traditionally not shown interest in GF products. Furthermore the number of restaurants with GF...

...effect on blood sugar levels which can help control diabetes. This fiber can also help lower the bad cholesterol (LDL) by blocking some absorption of dietary cholesterol. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and is considered a gut-healthy fiber. It can have a laxative effect and add bulk to your diet and help prevent constipation (WebMd, 2012). This fiber can reduce cardiovascular risk and slow the progression of cardiovascular disease in those considered high-risk. Some examples of soluble fibers foods are oat bran, peas, rice bran, beans, citrus fruits, strawberries, and apple pulp. However, oats have the highest proportion of soluble fiber over any other grain. Some examples of insoluble fiber foods are whole-wheat breads, wheat bran, wheat cereals, rice, rye, barley, beets, cauliflower, carrots, and turnips (AHA, 2012). Dietary fiber intake amounts vary among adults and children. It is recommended that children age two and over begin...

...support, and other nutritional benefits that benefit other parts of the body such as with the gastrointestinal digestive system. Some of the differences between soluble and insoluble fiber would be the capacity of water they are able to hold; for example “soluble” fibers have a high water-holding capacity. Soluble fiber has been associated with increased diet quality and decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Foods high in soluble fiber include oat bran, oatmeal, beans, peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, strawberries and apple pulp. Insoluble fiber has been associated with decreased cardiovascular risk and slower progression of cardiovascular disease in high-risk individuals. Foods high in insoluble fiber include whole-wheat breads, wheat cereals, wheat bran, rye, rice, barley, most other grains, cabbage, beets, carrots, Brussels sprouts, turnips, cauliflower and apple skin. According to the article, part of the recommendations for children and fiber are that children consume the amount of energy intake needed and as they grow into an adult with an adult caloric intake; approximately 1500 or more. When determining the amount of fiber to be in taken by a child the “age plus five” rule is mentioned. A good way to explain it would be to take the child’s age plus five and that would be the number of grams of fiber per day recommended; verses an adult recommendation of 25 to 30 grams per day. Fiber impacts Coronary Heart Disease by reducing your risk of developing a heart...

...Cereal Aisle Analysis Assignment 1 Richelle Gibson Charla Session-Reed MKT305 Consumer Behavior 03FEB2012 Identify the store and the day and time you made your observation. In order for me to observe consumer behaviors, I went to my local grocery store Giant. Giant is a popular chain grocery store in my area and where I do all my grocery shopping. The two aisles I choose was the: Cereal Aisle and bread Aisle in order to see how consumer behavior varies for different products. In addition, realizing that consumers may behave differently depending on time of the day it is, I visited the store twice, once in the middle of week (around 2pm when there are not many shoppers there) and (around 5-6pm when the store is usually packed) with people getting off work and making a stop at the grocery store. Analyze the behaviors you observed to determine how consumers progressed through the consumer behavior process while in different aisles. I observed 5 consumers in total, consumer A-B-C in the cereal aisle and consumer D and E in the Bread aisle. The details are listed in the Appendix. When making a purchase decision, a consumer goes through a process which is often composed of stages: recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase decision, and post-purchase behavior. In this experiment, consumers recognized that they have the need to buy cereal or bread food goods. At the store, these consumers faced many options, especially for cereals. I have always...

...CORN FLOUR MILL manufacturer says, maize flour is more nutritious than the common. Maize is an golden crop whose fat, P and Vitamin B2 rank first in all the grains. Maize flour contains linoleic acid and VE to reduce risk of arteriosclerosis by decreasing cholesterol level in human body. High contents of calcium and iron prevent high blood pressure and heart disease. Modern medical research indicates rich GSH in maize flour has the function to resist cancer, which detoxicates chemical cancerogenic substances by combining with them and excrete through digestive system. Coarse maize flour contains abundant lysine to restrain tumor. Nutrition in common flour depends on its raw material. Wheat, potato and cassava flour is quite different from maize. You can choose different flour as you need. For example, potato flour is often used to made bread and cakes. Corn flour mill is a good choice for you to processing maize into quality flour. Since the opening reformation, corn flour mill, as Chinese pillar industry, has gained good market development, effectively increasing its competitive status and speeding up domestic economy. Seeing from corn flour mill development, we should not only rely on technology, but advanced leading principles.

..."Colombian Exchange." This is the exchange of the crops, animals and resources that went between the New and Old World. From the Americas came peppers, maize, potatoes, tomatoes, snap beans, lima, beans, and squash. Maize and potatoes became staple crops throughout Europe. So much so that the Irish potato crop failed, the result was famine. From Europe, to the Americas came wheat, rye, barley, oats and millet. The first two crops are used in bread, a mainstay today. The horse was a European import. When adopted by the Native Americans, the result was the Great Plains cultures. The Americans produced vast amounts of gold and silver. However the material was obtained, the amount imported to Europe made economies based on money possible. This allowed more trade. Having somewhere to go and new opportunities invigorated Europe. People could now seek their fortune or get a fresh start. Having a destination also increased technological development of deep ocean ships. There is a dark side to the exchange. When Europeans first came to the Americas they inadvertently introduced a number of diseases. These included forms of Tuberculosis, measles, cholera, typhus, and smallpox. Oh all the exchanges between the Native Americans and the Europeans, disease had the most impact. Native Americans had little immunity to any of these imported diseases. The migration route into the Americas had been through arctic regions. The cold acted as a "filter" preventing some diseases...

We are engaged in offering premium quality fine wheat with perfect homemade taste. Wheat roller mill manufactured by us is 100% free from harmful ingredients Contains high nutritional level. Helps in regular growth of body. Perfect for making soft as well as nutritious chapatti WHEAT ROLLER MILL is extensively used in flour mills to grind wheat into flour. Wheat kernels fall into the grinding zone formed by a pair of rolls rotating toward each other at different speeds and are subjected to grinding action. In roller mills, wheat seeds are grinded in the gristing phase by pairs of fluted rollers, thus being obtained a wide range of particles with sizes from < 200 μm to > 2000 μm, [1], consisting in coat particles (of larger sizes) and endosperm particles (of smaller sizes), to be further separated with plansifters. The milling process aims to grind the endosperm into finer particles of flour and semolina, while the coating and the seed particles must remain in large sizes to be separated by sifting. In gristing passages, milling rollers with fluted surface are used, and in milling passages, rollers with smooth surface are used. Wheat roller mill involves several pairs of rolls used in sequence. From the first to the last pair of rolls, the roll gap is set successively narrower as the particle size of the feed stock...

...A natural conflict resulted between the millstone and the wheat roller mill, there was also a conflict between the water wheel and the turbine. Many millers held a belief that the water wheel was superior to the turbine. There were arguments as to which system would work better together, the millstone or roller mill. When millstone grinding began to be threatened by the roller mills, the miller tried to improve the dressing of the millstone. The wheat roller mill became a good alternative to the progressive millers who wanted a better milling process. They wanted to improve the quality and quantity of their flour product. This led to the primary attraction of the use of roller mills. In replacing the millstone with roller mills, the miller gave up the time consuming process of dressing millstones. The early WHEAT ROLLER MILL could not do as well of a job in flouring middlings as millstones. It was not until roller mills were improved that their use grew. The first use of roller mills was to break up the grain. Then a pair of millstones would be used to regrind the particles into flour. Eventually this practice became obsolete with the addition of other rollers replacing the millstones. The miller had to learn new skills. He learned that by increasing the number of breaks he could extract almost all the bran and produce superfine white flour. In the larger milling operations they started to bleach the white flour. It was soon determined that any remaining particles of bran...
