Value Proposition: The ‘Better for You’ brands correctly identify that sugar is not necessarily a problem in itself as it is supposed by mass media’s tunnel view.

    This massive consumption of bottled water along with massive profitability of this industry is because of the popular misconception that distilled water is cleaner and healthier than the regular tap water.

This is evident from the example that people cannot differentiate between the tastes of bottled, distilled, mineral and tap water. Therefore, it is inappropriate to claim that the distilled or mineral water is cleaner and healthier than the tap…

    Many large companies, such as Coco-Cola, have taken initiatives ensure their products are sustainable and not damaging to all customers, and even support charities that further their CSR goals, such as supporting protection of local water sources in the Mediterranean (Sepers). Companies have just as much of a responsibility do their part in the global community, and as humans who work in and support businesses, it is our duty as well to act consciously. As consumers and members of society, we need to take our role as a global citizen seriously. It is not to say that one should completely abandon the characteristics that make up our identity- our culture or ethnicities or political beliefs, but that in addition to this identity, we should be aware of an additional responsibility to our global neighbors. Besides trying to support companies that act responsibly, we also have an obligation to act our concerns as to what will affect to our planet as a whole, and to fight for values that affect our neighbors in Europe, Asia, and Africa just as they affect the local inter-cities of our country.…

    High Fructose Corn Syrup

    The issue in the United States is the fact that individuals are consuming an exorbitant amount of fructose- 1 g of fructose provides roughly 4 calories of energy, so if we multiply the average amount of fructose consumed by adults by 4 calories, it equals roughly 218.8 calories. This number is just south of 10% of 2195 calories that are consumed on average in the United States, but it is important to realize that this number of calories is coming from fructose alone and not taking the consumption of glucose into consideration. Furthermore, the amount of fructose being consumed by adolescents is disconcerting; roughly 291.2 calories of energy is derived from fructose- this forms approximately 13.3% of an adolescent’s total energy which strays away from the guideline set by the World Health Organization. The consumption of HFCS products is only exacerbating the amounts of fructose consumed on average per day. There are 3 types of HFCS syrups: HFCS-42 (42% fructose content), HFCS-55 (55% fructose content) and HFCS-90 (90% fructose).…
