    On The Pleasure Of Eating Analysis

    In the 2000 article, “Goal Replace Risk Assessment With Alternative Assessment”, author Mary O’Brien poses many strengths in comparison to the article, “The Pleasure of eating”, by author Wendell Berry. Throughout “Goal Replace Risk Assessment with Alternative Assessment”, Mary O’Brien informs readers about the provincial approach of risk assessment and how, as a society, we should take a more open alternative method towards estimating damages. O’brien delineates the flaw when conducting risk assessment because assessors do not tend to not think about all the costs added up when it comes time to making decisions. In other words, we do not take all factors into consideration thus leading to poor decision making. However, O’Brien elaborates…

    Summary Of Why Mcdonalds Taste So Good

    In the article “Why McDonalds Fries Taste So Good” by Eric Schlosser, he first deliberates on the evolution of McDonald’s fries, from being just another fry into becoming one of the most popular food commodities in the fast food industry. The article emphasizes on the similarities between natural and artificial flavors, which are both manmade, but contain chemicals that stimulate the perception of taste in people. He goes on to explain how many franchises and companies, like McDonalds, are trading their oils for flavors that are manufactured in factories and laboratories, which aid in the manipulation of peoples olfactory system. Eric Schlosser explains and educates the reader on the flavor industry, by giving a behind the scenes tour of what really happens behind closed doors when processing some of these foods. Have you ever tried to read the label on some of the foods you eat?…

    Analysis Of Why Frries Taste So Good By Eric Schlosser

    The author learns the difference between "natural" and "artificial," and shows how chemical flavors such as Methyl anthranilate (one of the first artificial flavors; smells like grapes), created by "flavorists," has become a billion dollar industry and has transformed our eating habits as consumers. He explains that many of the natural and artificial flavors today are made in the same factories, but for some reason, consumers view natural flavor as healthier and are willing to pay a higher price for related products. The author uses statistical data (logos) cited from studies performed by the Institute of Food Research to prove the point that the "manipulation of smell" contributes to the majority of what people claim…
