Meat and poultry processing and packaging is the slaughtering, processing, packaging, and distribution of animals (i.e. pigs, sheep, cattle, chickens, turkey, and other miscellaneous livestock). This industry really brought up pace with railroad construction…

Surprisingly, I learned a great deal being in this group. I also changed my opinion, or should I say gained one, about a lot of issues that I overlooked in the pass. The first being the FDA. Before this project, I never really thought about this organization or anything that they did. I never thought to question their judgment or why they made certain rules and regulations either. However, after reading the first assigned article about foods that are banned in other countries and not in America,…

carbohydrate feed sources which are often added to pet food rations include grain fermentation soluble, cereal food fines, oat meal, maltodextrins, soy flour, and potato peels and culls. As you can see, these are mostly by-products of human food processing and consequently do not have desirable nutritional values. Coloring Agents Color additives are known carcinogens. Cases of allergy reactions that have been linked to food coloring have also been recorded in dogs. The most common coloring…

What really caught my attention during the documentary is when the nutritionist brought up how foods in modern days are often processed, sprayed with many deterrents, and many are genetically modified. Though I have heard many good things and numerous amounts of bad things about foods like these, I want to do my own research. I want to showcase the positives of the processed foods and the negatives as well. A processed food is any deliberate change to the food before consumption. For example, a…

How real is food nowadays? The answer to this simple question may surprise you. The Omnivore's Dilemma, written by Michael Pollan, exposes the reality that much of the food we eat today is harmful for consumers.

More specifically, the industrialized meat industry. The truth is, animals in the industrial food…

The summers I’ve spent in Tonga were full of good, natural foods that were either picked locally or from one’s backyard. The ingredients used to make a delicious beverage called otai contains watermelon or mangoes, crushed pineapples, coconut, milk, water, and sugar. The combination of these different components made in Tonga gives a unique taste. However, otai made in Tonga differs to how it is made in America. The texture and sweetness of this beverage is different which makes it less…

Processed foods have been around for far longer than most people know about. Before I opened this book I didn’t have much knowledge on exactly how many foods are actually processed, as a matter of fact it hardly ever crossed my mind. Before I eat a specific food I usually check the nutrient facts of the label but I always check for carbs, sugars, percentage of sodium and so on.
