Aner Tal And Brain Wahisink

Decent Essays
The articles that I have read was “An apple a day bring more apples your way” by Aner Tal and Brain Wahisink was about individuals who ate an apple sample before shopping bought 25 % more fruits and vegetables then those who did not eat a sample because having a healthy snack before shopping put them in a healthier mindset and steer them towards making better food choices. Therefore, Aner Tal and Brain Wahisink conducted researchers to test their hypothesis that healthy snacks prepare shoppers to make healthier food selections. Therefore, in the first study they give 120 shoppers an apple sample, a cookie sample or no sample at the start of their shopping trip. Than after the shoppers was finish with their grocery they tracked their purchases

    In “The American Paradox” by Michael Pollan, Pollan states that there is something wrong with how Americans think about eating today. He claims that Americans are more focused on listening to confusing and contradictory dietary advice about healthy eating from nutritionists, food marketers and journalists that we are neglecting the food from our culture(s). I agree with Pollan’s claims because cultural eating is healthier than following the advice of experts. I also agree on his claims that these experts are giving confusing and contradictory dietary advice.…

    He appeals to our emotions and imaginations (pathos) by using McDonald's French fries. He knows that most of us are familiar with McDonald’s fries and have enjoyed those fries since childhood. "Childhood memories of Happy Meals can translate into frequent adult visits to McDonald's." However, the author does not provide statistical data to show that childhood McDonalds's consumers are more likely to become adult McDonald's consumers. This is especially interesting and ironic now because unlike our parents' generation that may have grown up on consuming unhealthy, processed, and cheap fast food, social media has led the current generation to become more health conscious, focusing on foods that are gluten-free, fat-free, and/or organic.…

    Supermarket, a large form of the traditional grocery store, which is considered the best place to spend money on food are likely to have an adverse effect on customer’s health according to researchers. In the article “The Supermarket: Prime Real Estate,” Marion Nestle discusses how supermarkets design and control their features to make influences on shopping behaviors in order to gain more money from purchasers. Specifically, she argues buyer choices are being manipulated by food companies and the supermarket itself. Since their job is to do business, to sell more products, and to gain more profit, therefore, consumer’s health is not their first priority. As she puts it, “Perhaps, but they do everything to make the choice theirs, not yours.…

    The cause of failure in the National School Lunch Program has been a highly contentious topic since modern reporting of nutritional standards have been implemented. Most research points to the lack of student opportunity to access of healthy food as the main cause of failure, however, who is at fault for this is much more debatable. Some, including Julian, cited inconsistency in regulation and oversight as the biggest challenge. He noted that a lot of poor menu options for students in middle and high schools come from the school run and regulated “a la carte” vending. He explained that this practice is not regulated in any way and considers it “a bizarre freedom that leads to the composition of disturbing menus; in school cafeterias across…
