In the What the Health documentary by Kip Andersen and Keegan Kuhn, their sole purpose was to inform the viewers about the advantages of eating a plant-based diet and provide evidence to support their reasoning. One of the major problems in the film was that a few of the facts mentioned were incorrect. Which is an issue of credibility and more importantly, it may mislead others. Therefore, the main problem is the ethical appeals because of the faulty evidence used in the film. As a result, that…

In Reinhard Renneberg’s article, “Golden rice can end world hunger,” he explains his ideas on the highly controversial topic of GMO Golden Rice. He begins the article by introducing the problem: 250 million children are suffering from provitamin A deficiency, which is important for resistance against infectious diseases. Renneberg’s solution is to use Golden Rice that is genetically modified containing maize DNA, which has provitamin A. He believes this to be a strong solution because rice is a…

Case 3 - Case 9-2 Student Number: 212222576 Bearer Plants Grapes and grape vines are biological assets, necessitating the fair value model if they can be accurately valued (as this is WI’s business, this is the case). Grape vines are bearer plants, and are exempt from fair-value accounting. Thus, the grapes and grape vines must be recorded separately. Thus, grape vines would be recorded at cost, and depreciated during their useful life. While growing, any increases/decreases in the fair value…

Strolling through Stop and Shop, customers always seem to lay their eyes on the organic aisle for a split second, and think "What really labels this aisle as organic? Why would I ever want to be healthy?" Some, nonetheless, walk through the aisle, picking up these overpriced products that claim to allegedly be free of artificial flavors and genetically modified chemicals; products that claim to be unlike those found in the other ten aisles of the supermarket. The article "What are you Buying…

It is well known that phosphorus is a major growth limiting plant nutrient for completion of plant life cycle. The exogenous application of P as chemical fertilizer has been found indispensable for the maximized crop yields but continuously increasing cost and non-availability of phosphatic fertilizer is a great barrier to farmers. It is comprehensively reported that most of the soils are sufficient in total P content but the major constraint is the availability of P to plants because it forms…

There are two resources for people’s food: plants and animals. To provide food from plants, people have to develop agriculture. Deforestation is done in order to provide enough space for planting crops. Chemical fertilizer is used to make the plants bigger and faster to grow. Fossil fuels are used for farm machinery to plough the soil, as well as to process the food products. One of the main causes of deforestation is agriculture. Forests are cleared to be converted to plantations. The…

New technologies, inspired by continuous industrialization process, have greatly altered the society into a more convenient but rather a mechanical routine with few people realizing its genuine connotation. Food safety is further secured after undergoing disinfection. When we walk into supermarket and convenient stores, there are aisles of canned and frozen foods. Bags of carrots and veggie collections are ready to eat with variety of salad dressings. Moreover, industrialization results in…
