Australia is recognized as one of the most multicultural countries in the world and the food component is heavily responsible for that reputation. The first…

The greenhouse effect is when the sun’s heat gets trapped in our atmosphere, causing global warming. Using renewable energy, burning less fossil fuels, and recycling anything that is not actual waste can help reduce emissions. When communities use urban farming, less transportation is needed to get product, thus less fuel is being burned and used. The purpose of this paper is to look at ways we can come together as a society and put into effect ways we can reduce the effects of global warming…

exposure in our aquaculture (Fernandes et al., 2009). Fernandes et al. (2009) validated this evidence by their research, which showed toxic levels of PCBs in five different types of farmed fish. Due to this knowledge, there has been a change in diets and fish food used in aquaculture (Betancor et al., 2015). Dietary fish oil (FO), which is known to contain pollutants, is being replaced with vegetable oils (VO), which does not contain the natural fatty acids needed for proper digestion (Betancor…

Thomas Cahill argues that the Jews greatly affected Western society. Although the Jews are small in number, their contributions affect the way all people - both Jewish and non-Jewish behave. Firstly, Judaism introduced the concept of democracy to the world. In the book of Shmot, when G-d defeats the demi-god Pharoah, He proves no political figure can be a god.

I like the idea of having a kosher diet, straying away from shellfish, pork, and birds of prey, because sacrificing some of those things for God is really powerful to me. Also the fact that Judaism doesn’t believe in original sin, because humans are born into sin and it is inevitable that we will sin, is very appealing…

There are many types of foodborne pathogens, growth of pathogens due to improper food preparation, and there are a variety of habits you can change to prevent foodborne illness. First, there are…

For example, If someone is allergic to nuts and they took the gene from the nut and put it into a fruit, the person could have a severe allergic reaction from the nut. The eight most common allergens in the u.s are soy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, wheat and fish. As we start to increase the use of GMOs there is risks of allergens being created and transferred into different foods. GMOs create new allergens due to the genes that are being transferred joining with another gene and…

Animal testing and experimentations have been affecting the lives of an abounding number of animals for years. There are numerous ways we could avoid animal testing, yet scientists still do it. And with improving the new ways of science, it can also improve the quality of the products “Instead, replacing animal testing will improve the quality as well as the humaneness of our science.” Animal testing is a big dilemma; this predicament could be deciphered by using a analytical chemistry method…
