Got Milk?

Creating a perfectly balanced meal regimen is a tough goal to accomplish. In unit 2, I tracked my eating habits for five days. My nutrient report based off of that period of time clearly pointed out the many flaws of my diet. I was deficient in several important nutrients, minerals and vitamins such as: • Fiber • Calcium • Potassium • Vitamin A • Vitamin C • Vitamin E • Vitamin K (Super Tracker). In addition to my deficiencies, I was over indulgent in sodium. I acknowledged the changes I…

The ingredients listed underneath “cheese blend” are whey, milk fat, milk protein concentrate, salt, sodium tripolyphosphate, citric acid, lactic acid, sodium phosphate, yellow 5, yellow 6, cheese culture, and enzymes. Whey is a protein. It is good for your body, especially if you are lactose intolerant. Whey is made from the watery portion of milk that is separated from curds when making cheese. It is mostly used as a protein supplement. Whey is considered likely safe in children and adults…

As Morgan helps this old man he starts to realise the extent of the old man’s problems, his disabilities: “Long blind, hunchback born, half paralysed, He stands.” Here we are given an idea of how many disabilities the old man actually has, but yet he still has the willpower to rise to his feet. The poet also used a simile to show us how the man looks in his old coat: “He stands in his stained beltless gabardine Like a monstrous animal caught in a tent.” This is a…

Right outside of the front door was a platform, I spent most of my time on it. I would sit there and acknowledge everything that would happen. My grandmother did not live on a very busy street, but it was always fascinating to me to watch different things going on, from my brother playing basketball with his friends to waiting for the ice cream man to pass. The ice cream man probably passed about five times a day. By the end of my summers, he already knew us by name. My brother and I kind of…

Introduction Ben & Jerry’s growth within the US has plateaued. Even though sales are in a good place, net profits are declining steadily and market share is decreasing. With much of the distribution channels in the United States exhausted, it is clear that any new growth must come from international sources. Efforts to expand into other countries have failed in the past, but we are optimistic about stimulating growth by entering the Japanese market. There are three available options to enter…

Veganism is a way of living that excludes every type of animal products that causes exploitation and cruelty to animals. It is proved that every vegan person can save more than 100 animals in one year. Vegans, not only do not eat meat, but also do not use other animal products, like dairy, eggs, leather, cosmetics, and soap. The main reasons why people choose to be vegan are to help the environment, the animals, and to be healthier. Consuming animal products is one of the worst thing someone can…

dollars of unpasteurized local milk had to be dumped, 700 cows were slaughtered pre-maturely and several dairy farmers closed down operations” ("About Life and Debt," n.d.). Upon securing their independent freedom from Great Britain, Jamaicans uncovered themselves in economic exertion, as they did not retain the economic strength of their own. Deprived of this economic strength, farmers could not contend with international sources, such as the production of powdered milk. In the video, it…

From Moo to Milk, There’s More than Meets the Eye in the Dairy Industry Sadly, misconceptions run rampant throughout the agriculture industry; from things such as GMOs are absolutely nothing but trouble, and broiler chickens are pumped full of steroids and hormones to grow them to three time their normal size and many others. As agriculturalists, it is our job to help educate the public about our way of life and the industry that feeds us, because, as the saying goes, without…

The only story that I felt was significant was one about an Amish farmer in Pennsylvania. He owned a farm and a small store that sold his products from his farm. One of his most profitable product was raw milk. Raw milk is unpasteurized and most cannot drink it. The Amish have been drinking raw milk for as long as they basically have existed. This Amish man, who 's family 's livelihood depended on his farm and…

are bred, fed, confined, and drugged to lay more eggs, birth more offspring, and die with more meat on their bones.” (“Factory Farming”). Dairy cows, on factory farms, are forced to produce 10 times more more milk than normal. On average these dairy cows produce around 100 pounds of milk per day. Between 1965 and 2000, the weight of the average turkey raised for food in the U.S. increased by 57% (“Factory Farms”). “Today’s hen, selectively bred and artificially induced to yield high egg…
