Cereal and bread was a key staple in the diets of the Ancient Egyptian culture, however, they did not solely survive off carbohydrates. The dietary needs of the civilization were also based upon fish, vegetables, hearty meats, and fruits. Much like modern day cultures, the day was based around three square meals.…

We are bombarded with commercials from the dairy industry telling us that milk is one of the best sources of nutrition and is essential for good health. One popular advertising slogan with various pictures: a baby, a muscular man and even Uncle Sam. We have been told cow’s milk is a “perfect food” that helps build healthy bodies and strong bones. Commercials and nutritional guidelines have long us that we should all consume dairy products daily, beginning at birth, as the advertisement in Fig. 1…

Monsanto can satisfy its ethical commitments of giving a superior life to agriculturists and better quality items (seeds) to shoppers by guaranteeing that its seeds will yield more products and keep misfortunes emerging from creepy crawly eating the great harvest. Agriculturists would be more than content with Monsanto's seeds as they would decrease their bother of showering the pesticides to protect their product. Likewise in view of enhanced products, their benefits would be higher. In any…

To elude climate change, global greenhouse gas emissions must diminish quickly, and avoid wildlife extinction from grassland clearing. However, the probability of this occurring is unlikely to happen. Consequently, developing the NT food bowl will remain unsustainable, until all stakeholders are enforced with the concept of sustainability. Countless decision-makers plummet into the trap of thinking that even a major development will only have a tiny impact in a vast region due to the lack of…

Boyle uses these real and imagined boundaries to expose the social, physical and economic divisions between Americans and Mexicans in the United States. The most obvious…

In 1957, biochemists Richard Marshall and Earl Kooi developed the chemical process for making high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). HFCS is an alternative sweetener to sucrose originally derived from corn. Through a chemical and enzymatic process, corn is broken down through the molecular levels until the monosaccharide fructose is produced (Parker et al, 2010). The product was adopted by the food and beverage industry in the 1970’s. Due to it’s diversability and cost effectiveness, it was embraced…
