“Snacks for a Fat Planet” is an article by John Seabrook discussing his thoughts and his time at PepsiCo, the largest food-and-beverage company in the United States. PepsiCo has a want for “aspirational” products and marketing. Providing great details throughout the whole article, Seabrook begins with a background of PepsiCo and proceeds to discuss the unhealthy benefits on their products. After introducing the reading to the CEO of PepsiCo, Indra Nooyi, the reader is informed of the company’s ideas on an expansion for “good for you” products. The salty and sugary snacks are a leading factor in the obesity era we are in and PepsiCo wants to find a way to provide their customers with a product that is less hazardous to one’s health, but a product
Demand is a driving factor of any business or trade. Without it, a market could not be sustained. Documents 3,4, and 5 share important information about the demand in England. Demand was a driving factor of the sugar trade because of . Sugar’s addictive qualities had made people crave the drug-like substance after tasting it (Doc. 3).
In “The Pleasure of Eating” Berry suggests people do not take the time to know the facts of what they are eating. People now do not want to take time to cook a meal, but instead want a fast meal to eat quickly in a busy day.(Berry) Not only does this show less appreciation for healthy foods, but it is allowing processed foods to become popular and allowing them to sell more, damaging people's health. And this is exactly what the food industry wants. (E-1)The food industry's main concerns are not the quality of their foods, they do not care about the ways it affects our health, instead they worry about volume and price.(Berry)
The food industry doesn’t want the consumers to know what is in their food and how their food is made, because the industry is afraid that if the consumers know, that they will not want to eat their food anymore (FOOD,

(242)” In other words, David believes that if there were more, cheaper, healthier options then, childhood obesity rates would lower.

However, the new modified dessert contained twice the amount of sugar than the original yogurt (Moss 475). In addition to the product being unhealthy, Stephen reportedly said in a meeting that people bought what tasted good and that he would continue to promote his business. Nevertheless, when adding more sugar or simply modifying the product to appeal the customer it makes it more addictive and more likely to be bought again. To continue manipulating the food without informing the customers that the product is now more addictive becomes a moral issue. The responsibility then lies with the companies to inform the consumer of such engineering in the food to allow them to make their own independent decision of purchasing a
In Jessica Lundgren’s essay, “Eating Fresh” in America: Subway Restaurant’s Nutritional Rhetoric, has stated many different strategies Subway uses in their commercials to persuade consumers that they are choosing the heathier choice when getting food at their fast food restaurants. Lundgren mentions the five aspects to Subway’s nutritional claims that they fallow which includes: (1) the making of nutritional claims, (2) a visual rhetoric that makes the restaurant’s “healthy” food options appear to be numerous and exciting (in addition to being nutritious), (3) the comparison of the Subway product with the products of other, less “healthy” fast food restaurants, (4) the clear indication that the physical manifestations of eating poorly, and
Author of the essay “Eat Food: Food Defined” Michael Pollan, states that everything that pretends to be a food really isn’t a food. Michael persuaded me into agreeing with his argument by talking about how people shouldn’t eat anything their great grandmother wouldn’t recognize as food and avoid food products containing ingredients that are unpronounceable, lists more than five, and contains high fructose corn syrup. He opened my eyes to information I wouldn’t have thought about or researched myself. He got into depth about a type of Sara Lee bread that contains way more ingredients than needed to make the bread, including high fructose corn syrup that isn’t good for you. Marketers are doing this to sell more of their product by making it taste

The farmers are treated poorly by the big name companies. The health in the United States is declining severely, 16% of children are obese,have diabetes, and other major health problems. In David Barboza’s article, “If You Pitch It, They Will Eat It,” Barboza argues that big name food companies are targeting the youth of society, because they will watch a show on television and see the food products at the store with their favorite character on the packaging. But the food that is being marketed to the youth is unhealthy for the human body.
My Experience at Umpleby's Bakery with Charles Umpleby Walking in to Umpleby's Bakery, the first thing I thought was "Where are all the baker?" but I soon found out that at Umpleby's Bakery, Mr. Umpleby was the only baker. Mr. Umpleby is the owner and founder of Umpleby's Bakery. He started baking at around 14 years old as a dishwasher for his local bakery. He went to college and majored in English, but felt like he missed baking.
In the article “Should Candy and Soda be Banned from Schools?” by Tom Vilsack and J.Justin Wilson, Vilsack argues that sugary foods and drinks should be banned from schools, while Wilson disagrees and states that sugary foods and drinks should not be banned from schools. I agree with Wilson because taking away a kids privilege to make their own choices, and forcing them to do something, makes them more dependent. Wilson states in the article “Researchers call this the “forbidden fruit theory,” because we often crave what we’re not allowed to have”. I have noticed from personal experience that when something that is banned is more tempting than something you have permission to do or have.
