The PETA foundation and their struggle for Animal Rights

                                     Throughout history animals have been misused because they have never had spokesmen to fight for them, but as we humans are improving people have come together to form the PETA foundation (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). It is a non-profitable foundation, which was founded in March of 1980. It consists of 300 employees and two million members and supporters whose role is to fight for the rights of animals and make sure that people don’t put animals in danger. In this essay, I’d be talking about the fight against animal cruelty and the good reasons to become a Vegan or turn Vegetarian.             A Vegetarian is a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain and more but a Vegan is one refrains from using any animal product whatever for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Becoming one of

Reading on food stamps and soda response

          Afer reading all the opinions of the food stamps regulation and soda taxation i had to agree with the Good Nutrition on a Budget by Caryn Sweeney . I agreed to her explanation because it made more sense. The reason people dont eat healthy food is not mainly because they don't have too much money to spend but its because they is not much time for people to cook a home meal......

Fast Food Nation and Supersize Me Reflection

After reading Fast Food Nation "Your Trusted Friends" which talks about how McDonalds became the big franchise that it is now. It goes to talk about how Ray Croc and Waltz Disney’s where so similar in that they came from the same state Illinois, both were part of WWI.             It also goes into detail of how they get kids to be customers “Kid Kustomers” Different ways of naggings that children practice in order to get what they what. They adding toys to their meals it entices them and in addition to that they also have characters that they listen to them since they are also on TV. All I can say about the big food industry is to continue doing what they have found profiting to them. If us humans care so much of our health we should do something about it and not go around suing companies. After watching “Supersize Me” all I could say was do people really eat McDonalds like the guy in the movie because its ridiculous. Three times a day is too much left alone for 30day

Food.Inc Movie Response

Throughout this documentary I couldn’t ignore the fact that this world revolves around a supply and demand economy so why is it that we are bashing a bunch of companies that have found a way to do both. If the people that consumed their product stopped, it would change the food industry. Just because some people say they don’t want it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be supplied. True, the industries just care about money not the health of people but it’s the same consumers that made it that way.              A line that made total sense to me was “If you can grow a chicken in 49 days why would you want one that grows in 3 months”. The answer that would be received by most people will be yes, because the main goal is to get more money to continue paying workers, rent or mortgage and to be able to continue their business, unless you are a unprofitable food factory which is unlikely. If we want to change this it has to start from the leaves not the roots like the society are trying to do

Assignment #1 : Comparing the 19th Century food to that of the 21th Century

             I am writing about how the food from the 19 th Century was better than that of the food we eat in the 21 st Century. Throughout history the food industry has been blasted for their part in obesity. This is because people from the early days ate healthy and natural food items rather than preserved items which must be approved as healthy but is not really if the Nutritional facts are read in the back of every product bought from the grocery store or market             In the 19 th Century food in Ghana, food from my country was gotten from people’s farms because we were a hunting and gathering society. Every family had their own farm where they planted what was need, whether to sell to others or for their own need. My grandmother still goes by the old life style which is by having her own where she grows corn, tomatoes, pepper and many times of fruits including Avocado, Pears and Oranges. She also raises animals such as chickens, ducks and goats. This makes it possi
