Let’s say you buy some yogurt and keep it in the fridge. Sometime later you want to eat it, but you see that it expired the previous day. Then you throw it away and think of it as money down the drain. Now think about the quantity of the product that would expire the same day and how much of it goes to waste.

In his book The Pasteurization of France Latour says that not everything in science can be explained by society. At first glance, this proposition may seem hard to believe since Latour gives so many examples on how society has affected scientific findings. However, even though Latour’s argument is more society oriented than he lead on to believe, Latour presents a well thought out and balanced argument that science is influenced by both society and nature. Some arguments that Latour uses to…

consume than unpasteurized cheeses. This is because during the pasteurization process, when the milk is heated to between one-hundred-and-forty to one-hundred-and-fifty degrees Fahrenheit and then cooled to fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit, any pathogens like harmful bacteria in the milk are killed. You are less at risk of contracting salmonella and E.Coli if you consume pasteurized cheeses. However, though the process of pasteurization lowers the nutritional value of pasteurized cheeses, making…

its actions. Odwalla’s motto of “soil to soul” metaphor stated that is used fresh organic fruit to nurture the body whole of its consumers. Odwalla produced organic fruit juice by using an acid-based rinsing process to killer bacteria instead of pasteurization because they believed it affected the taste of the juice. However, Odwalla’s actions were not socially responsible when they found out that the U.S. Army had rejected their proposal to sell juice because an uncommonly high level of…
