Animal Welfare in the Egg Industry Hard-boiled, scrambled, sunny side up, poached, baked, or fried, eggs are one of the most common breakfast foods in America. With 50 billion eggs being produced per year in the United States alone, the treatment and welfare of chickens being used for egg production, referred to as layers, is crucial to consider. As egg producers own and manage the majority of their business, they are able to affect the entire process of how the layers are reared, fed, housed,…

The growing number of food stamp participants, specifically children, highlights the ever-growing challenge for the program, not just how do we feed millions of Americans, but how can we feed them in a healthy manner? Despite the benefits of the program, it contributes to the growing obesity epidemic in America, especially those who are living at the poverty line. A reasonable person would ask, why would you choose a healthy organic option like a bag of apples for $5 a pound, when I could easily…

One in four Americans eat fast food at least once per day. Over 1 billion doughnuts are consumed per year in the U.S. Personally, I feel the government should have limited if any control on what we choose to consume. As long as the food we eat has no effect on others, and we choose to eat these things in a safe manner, the government should have no say in what we eat. When the government puts restrictions on foods or drinks it could make the population retaliate in a negative way. The American…

There is no denying the prevalence of obesity in American society. According to the Federal Drug Administration, 64% of the American population is overweight and of that percentage, 30% are obese (“FDA’s Obesity Group Report”). Many chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and strokes result from the epidemic (Yun and Silk 276). A major factor causing these problems is Americans’ diets. Food choices are the core to a healthy lifestyle, and today’s society is filled with…

in Baltimore, Maryland, I have done an enormous amount of research on food insecurity and my professors have acknowledged this issue heavily. Baltimore contains many areas that operate with little to no healthy food sources nearby because of the large population that cannot afford these goods. With the fleeing number of locally owned grocery stores, residents don’t have available fruits and vegetables while convenient fast food outlets sprout. Primarily, the United States Census Bureau Poverty…

Texas City High School is a prime example of the switch of food from the 2013-2014 school year to the 2014-2015 school year. Many students agree that the lunches are not appetizing because they, “lack flavor and substance,” from the following year (Kimling-Charalambous 1, 3, 1-2). One of the more noticeable changes was that the food is, “unflavored, like the mash potatoes, due to the school making or trying to make food more healthy,” but driving more students away from purchasing lunches…

continues to rise among women, men, and children. Poverty makes it difficult for low-income families to obtain fresh, healthy foods and this lack of nutrients can lead to obesity. Obesity often occurs within families who live in a low-income community. Some families use foods stamps and learn how to balance and pick meals accordingly to prices between healthy and non-healthy foods. However, obesity problems grow within parents who cannot afford to meet the needs of their families; on the other…

changing weird and unusual foods that were not normally served in a school lunchroom is tough on the children. I was the child that refused to eat what was being served that day at lunch. Since children are not eating the new and unusual healthy foods being served, the children are not getting what they…

this advertisement will also become interested in Oreo because of the grinning smile on the lunchbox. Because Oreos have been around for over a hundred years, the marketers who create advertisements have taken advantage of Oreo’s seniority in the food business in sending the message that Oreo as a friend that has always been there to save our unappetizing lunches. Also, the advertisement consists of logical appeal because of the phrase "Two biscuit snack pack. Ideal for lunchboxes" (Nabisco).…
