...affected by the ethical, cultural, medical and environmental disputes concerning proper farming, agriculture and retailing methods and regulations. Food politics is something most college students know nothing about. But without it, one bite from that burger you love from McDonalds could kill you. Do you ever stop and think about who controls what we eat, what can and cannot go into our food, or who even produces our food? Probably not. All college kids want to know is how well it tastes, the cost of it, and how much they can get in one sitting. Our food system is in place to make sure production, control, regulation, inspection, and distribution of food is met to the highest of standards. But as our world changes, so does our need for a changing food system. The American food system needs to change because it’s causing world hunger in other nations, there is a blurred line in the quality of organic food, and lastly Americans don’t even know where their food has come from. We’ve all seen those informational commercials where they ask us to donate around 20 cents a week to help the hungry in a third world country. Have you ever thought about how that country got to the state it’s in or why they can’t get out of that state? Believe it or not, the “Green Revolution” isn’t as great as most think. The revolution brought on new farming technologies to nations that weren’t stable enough to sustain them. Robert Paarlberg, author of “Attention Whole Foods Shoppers,” addresses the Green Revolution...

...calm at the same time. Faith that has grown over the last five weeks to a level that makes you believe you can share your knowledge of God with other people. Sharing knowledge of the Bible and God’s message prior to the last five weeks was a definite insecurity for me prior to this class. I will try to put into words how this class has benefitted my personal faith and some things that have been difficult to completely understand. The Bible begins with the book of Genesis. According to Life Application Study Bible, the definition of Genesis is the “beginnings” or “origins” (NIV). Genesis is the beginning of the creation of the world. Genesis is the “story of God’s purpose and plan for his creation” (NIV). Genesis is where faith also begins. Believers have blind faith in God that the heavens, earth, man, animals, Satan and sin were created, but not witnessed. To support this faith in God, we have the Bible. The Bible and growing up in a Christian household with parents who are true believers and followers of God, helps support my belief and knowledge in God. In Genesis, we learn that our actions and decisions have consequences. For example, Adam and Eve whom God created in His own image (NIV) were created without sin. Genesis 2: 16-17 tells Adam And the Lord God commanded the man, You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die (NIV). However, Adam...

They might interpret differently because of socials worlds they live in based how fact that each person views a certain thing differently. 2. But we make mistakes like anyone else. In communicating with their patients what is one specific thing doctors might do to level the playing field and promote more open, honest communication? Doctors always ask you questions about how your health is and how you are feeling, to get a better understanding of where the patient might be or is heading. This helps the doctor five more honest and open answers. 3. What letter grade would you give yourself for the ability to communicate in a multicultural setting? Why? I honestly would give myself an A for a letter grade. The reason is that when I am in a multicultural setting I try to relate myself to the other people and try to make them feel more comfortable. When you try to relate yourself to someone that is from different culture they will feel closer to you and will try to do same thing. 4. What are your personal hot buttons? How do you feel when someone triggers one of your hot buttons? Why? Do your encounters with hot buttons make it difficult for you to communicate effectively? My personal hot buttons are when someone makes fun of my religion, it drives me crazy in the wrong direction. One other thing thing that triggers my hot buttons is if someone makes fun of my height I'm only 5'8. It makes me angry when someone...

Gorillas and chimps are both some of the most well know apes in the world making them the faces of primes. They are both fascinating and interesting animals. Gorillas are known to be one if not the largest primate in the world, males weighing all the way from 298 to 397 lbs and the females weighing about half of that from 150 to 249lbs. Do to their heavy weight the branches are not able to support their heavy weight therefore they tend to commute on the ground rather than traveling from tree to tree like other primate. Gorillas walk in a certain way called knuckle-walking. Males are able to reach a height of 5.6 to 5.9 ft tall and females reaching a height of no more than 4.6ft and having a shorter arm span than the males. Alongside with their size they...

...and personalities. Because of this diverse environment we deal with change very often, in the workplace, school and at home. John Maxwell once said, "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way." A leader means someone who has ability to lead a group of people, someone who people follow and idolize. And leadership is one of the rare and precious human capitals, especially in today’s society. Without leaders to guide and shape decisions society, the world will be mess up. Leaders are usually respect by youth, people in same age, and elders, they may make some bad choice sometimes, but they still deserve these respect. By being a leader, a person can have many different options to take. People are not born like a leader, but the options they got through the growth make them became leaders. If people have quality to know what are freedom, equality, justice and power, they must became a good and effective leader soon or after. Freedom is to live without any shackles. People are born free; they have free to speech, write and think. “Freedom is not a matter of choice, it is a destined path, an undying yearning for the peace of one's soul until attainment.” (Churchill, 2003) Good leaders can give another people freedom while give themselves freedom. Free is the easy word to say but is not easy word to do. For example, it is hard for some people to say ‘no’, but you are free to say ‘no’. Feeling the freedom of “no” allows you to focus on what’s most important...

...Why Leadership Is The Most Dangerous Idea in American Business If you're an entrepreneur, almost everything about "leadership" as we know it is bad for you. But there's another way to lead. Here are the rules. Maybe you've noticed: Never in the history of management science has leadership been more studied, worried over, theorized about, and debated than right now -- not least because for two years the world has supplied leaders-in-training with a (mostly unhappy) curriculum. The stock bubble collapsed. The economy soured. September 11 came and begat whole new anxieties that prompted unprecedented questioning about vocational life and leadership in communities of every kind. Corporate scandals and greed brought CEO reputations low and raised ethics concerns high. And nowIraq. Throughout the contentious diplomatic run-up and then during the conflict itself, leaders were dissected everywhere. You'll recall the stories. Bush the autocratic unilateralist vs. Blair the participative consensualist. Rumsfeld vs. the generals. Churchill circa 1942 vs. all of the above (an op-ed smackdown that somehow Winny always wins). By the time this is published, there will have been more stories: How to lead. How we're being led. How we want to be led. The world's curriculum, like it or not, is rich with object lessons. The problem is that, for entrepreneurs, those lessons are all wrong. Not because they're necessarily bad in themselves, but because they're all to do with the wrong kind of leadership...

...God’s unity. There is no god but God Muhammad is the messenger of God. Second, is Prayer (Salat). A daily ritual of praying five times per day. This is done to strengthen belief in God, purify the heart, comfort the soul, encourage the good and get rid of the evil in a person, and develop the mind. Next, Almsgiving (Zakat). This is known as charity. At the end of the year Muslims must donate a small portion of their wealth to needy Muslims. The fourth pillar is known as fasting (Sawm). Frequent fasting is recommended, however the mandatory fast is during the month of Ramadan. This commemorates the first revelations of the Qur’an to Muhammad. The last pillar is The Pilgrimage (Hajj). This must be done by every Muslim once in his or her lifetime, depending on if they can afford it. The pilgrimage starts on the 7th or 8th day of the last month of the Islamic calendar and ends on the 12th day. Kaaba is the shrine that is in Mecca and...

...of six children are obese. The obesity epidemic has grown but which factors have had an influence on the obesity epidemic? And which preventive measures have the companies, communities, schools and the First Lady done to prevent the obesity epidemic to grow even further? One contributing factor of the obesity epidemic is the fact that the eating habits have been changing over the last fifty years. Americans are more addictive to eat out instead of preparing healthy food at home and they continue eating unhealthy food although it may contribute diabetes, cancer and heart diseases. How come the obesity epidemic grown so fast and getting out of control? How come the parents feeding their children with processed foods with higher sugar, fat and calories - Is it the children who decide what to eat? Children are acting on their instincts and if they see an advertising on the TV for McDonalds with the Ronald McDonald clown and the happy meal with free toy, they want to go to McDonalds because most children under age 6 cannot distinguish between programming and advertising and children under age 8 do not understand the persuasive intent of advertising. Research has found strong associations between advertising for non-nutritious foods and rates of childhood obesity. It might be difficult for parents to keep their...

We focused on the health perceptions for consumers of KFC, their products, their competition and competition’s products. We then conducted our first set of focus groups that were aimed at concept testing. After receiving the work order from the agency team, we prepared and conducted the interviews.

...consumption of sacred sacrifices. These laws were dictated by God through Moses and are intended for Aaron and his decedents. The priests come from the tribe of Levi; the family of Aaron. They come at a time when the Israelites have been lead out of Egypt by Moses and had settled at Mount Sinai before crossing over to the land promised to their ancestors. God has taken this time to establish many laws and commandments covering many areas of everyday life, human interaction, and what is considered just and fair. In this section of Leviticus, we learn of the laws governing priestly functions and sacred sacrifices. This is a key area of concern for God because the priests are the only people with direct interaction with God and are the spiritual leaders of Israel. They serve as mediators for the people and are held to a higher standard than the common people. The holiness of God establishes Him to be uniquely separate from all else, with no rivals or competition. To this end, and as an example to all people, the priests must also be defined the same way as humanly possible and the laws laid out in this section fulfill that goal. The...

...experiencing declines in every aspect of their division. The primary problem is that Brannigan Foods sales, market share, and profitability has slipped in the last three years. One of the only reasons they have been able to keep up their sales is due to them increasing their product prices, resulting in a plateau of sales. The secondary problem consists of Brannigan foods not reaching out to other target markets besides the Baby Boomers (1946-1964) and they are completely missing the Millennials (19-30). There are a few conventional alternatives that would work best for Brannigan Foods, the first being from Srikant Tipha, Director of the Simple Meals unit consists of reinforcing awareness of the new items and introducing trial by upping the advertising investment in Fast & Simple soup meals and the Heart Healthy soup line, providing promotional couponing and sampling of the hot new flavors in the dry mix of Gazpacho and Teriyaki Beef Fast & Simple meal, which will help Brannigan break into and grow in the Asian soups category. The last part of her plan is to continue to promote dry soups even if they will cannibalize RTE soups. Another alternative comes from Bob Pugh, VP Sales and Marketing of Brannigan Soups. He believes a good alternative would be to take a five cent price-per-can cut on the core ready-to-eat wet soups, increase the A&P budget by $20MM to restore the fair share support for the brand, bring back the campaign to attract younger customers to the core...

...Wayne Harrison WR 222 24 April 2015 Why You Should Stop Vegetarian Diet In recent years, along with a variety of "diseases of affluence" increased and the wave of slimming craze, the vegetarian diet become more and more fashion in the western countries. Is vegetarian diet really the healthiest way for health and beauty? The answer is no. Vegan/ vegetarian diet is harmful for human beings. It is obvious and scientific that the omnivores is better than vegetarian. As a meat lover, the complete negation of animal foods makes me unacceptable. Eating meat is necessary for the health of humans. The main reason for the vegetarian supporters that they think that just eating plant is enough to stable the body healthy and functioning. But the opposite is true. The vegetarian diet may cause the micronutrient deficiencies and inadequate protein intake. Humans are omnivorous, in our lifestyle, the several of beneficial micronutrient elements are essential. No matter what kind of micronutrient elements lose; it would lead a potential danger for health. Kris Gunnars who works in Authority Nutrition claimed, “Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is the most active form of Omega-3 fatty acids and is mainly contained in animal foods. The plant form of Omega-3s, ALA, is inefficiently converted to DHA for health”(Gunnars). It means that the plants cannot provide all the nutrition for body. The vegans would lose many important micronutrient elements and nutrition. And whatever the vegetarian agree or...

With seven billion mouths to feed, human agriculture exerts a tremendous toll on the planet, from water draws to pollution, and from energy use to habitat loss. There is also a growing set of solutions, from organic agriculture to integrated pest management. More people around the world are looking at urban farming, which offers to make our food as "local" as possible. By growing what we need near where we live, we decrease the "food miles" associated with long-distance transportation. We also get the freshest produce money can buy, and we are encouraged to eat in season....
