A logical fallacy, in a broad sense, can be viewed as an error of reasoning. A fallacy is committed when a person tries to influence another person to take a particular position, based on flawed logic. Fallacious reasoning restrains people from thinking critically and knowing the truth, hence, making then susceptible to constant manipulation. As such, it is important to have the ability to recognize logical fallacies in the thought processes of other people to avoid making similar mistakes. In this paper, I will focus on one of the 17 logical fallacies that I provided in my initial presentation-argumentum ...

According to Peter Capelli, “52% of U.S. employers surveyed say they have difficulty filling positions because of talent shortages” (par. 10). However, at the time that The Wall Street Journal article was written the unemployment rate was around 9%. The writer explains further that American employers are still complaining about “talent shortages” because they would like to employ persons who do not require any “training or ramp-up time” (Capelli par. 10). These employers hardly hire anyone despite having an “abundance of workers to choose from” (Capelli par. 10). The unwillingness of U.S. employers to hire ...

Childhood Obesity: An Overview

The rate of childhood obesity remains to be high in the past years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2015b), 17 percent of children and teenagers or 12.7 million young individuals in the United States are affected by obesity during the past decades.

According to Michael Pollan in the Omnivore's dilemma, there are four main types of meals for these creatures back from history, industrial foods that include Mc Donald's, Big Organics like Whole foods, locally produced goods, and self-hunts by the omnivores. The meal types, however, attract different perspectives and opinions from people and food nutrition professionals basing on economic, environmental, cultural, and political principles. Industrial foods for instance currently attracts much criticism by health experts by body makeup; the assumption on Mc Donald's ...

Abstract

The composition of the foods people consume has a significant influence on their health. Whole certain components in certain foods offer protection against the development of certain disease conditions, the consumption of other components at certain levels might predispose one to certain diseases and disease conditions. The processing industries have a role to inform the consumer of the ingredients in their food products. This is necessary for the consumer to make informed decisions about their dietary choices. This requirement is enforced by the role through regulations passed by government agencies. Even then, certain compounds that are present in processed ...

Nutritional stress is one of the basic causes of a variety of diseases. Food processing industries across the world convert whole grains, vegetables, meat, and dairy products into convenient forms for the consumption of the end users. For instance, most of the processed foods individuals consume nowadays are loaded with sugar and other chemicals. Sugar does not contain any essential nutrients and only provides the body excess calories and energy. Studies have repeatedly proven the harmful effects of sugar to the human body as it affects the normal metabolism (Stanhope, Schwarz & Havel, 2013). Processed foods cause obesity which in ...

Chinese health and the effects fast food has made over the last 20 years.

The inevitable process of globalization is undoubtedly accelerating the movement of humanity towards progress. A good example – the Asia-Pacific region, where until recently many millions of people lived in absolute poverty. And now, in terms of welfare, the region approaches North America and Western Europe. China is the most obvious example. In 1981 there were 84% of people who lived from hand to mouth (The Wall Street Journal). In 2012, according to Gallup the number of people living below the absolute poverty went down to 7% (Kravtsov). Those millions of people entered the category of the “new Chinese”. This ...

There is a high perception that processed foods are only those stored in microwaves and fridges. The true definition of processed foods is any food that has been altered from its natural condition in one way or another. The alteration normally comes about because of safety reasons or because of conveniences by people. It means that people consume processed food without their knowledge. The current world is characterized by the use of electronic gadgets such as microwaves and fridges which makes work easier in the kitchen. This results to people eating processed foods without their knowledge. Processed foods are ...

GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are used for a wide range of different purposes: production of pharmaceutical drugs, experimental biology and medicine, and, of course, agriculture. The latter is the most controversial because it is directly connected to consumption. The most popular GM foods in US are corn and soybeans (Johnson & O’Connor, 2015). Corn is the most widespread GMO product in the world, but a very little part of it is sold on the cob. Large amounts of it are used to produce ingredients for different processed foods and drinks, especially corn syrup, rich in fructose, and corn starch. ...

Introduction

The recent years have seen the explosion of both fad and health-based diets in most contemporary societies as people become increasingly health-conscious. Among these diets is the gluten-free diet which has risen in popularity over the last two decades due to the surge in the prevalence of both celiac disease and gluten sensitivity disorders. A gluten-free diet is a type of diet that eliminates any foods that contain the protein gluten, which naturally occurs in wheat, rye, and barley (Cheezburger Incorporation). Other grains that contain gluten include Kamut, oat, spelt, and trificale. Traditionally, physicians recommended this diet for patients ...

The documentary, “Forks Over Knives” makes a compelling case in advocating for consumption of plant-based foods. It heavily criticizes animal-based foods and calls for its total elimination from our dietary consumption. It makes a convincing argument that most of the world’s chronic diseases could be averted by strictly following a vegetable or whole foods diet. In my opinion, a plant-based diet is healthier than processed foods. However, I disagree with the claim that animal-based foods ought to be banished from our meals. The human body needs animal-based foods such as omega 3and free-range eggs. As seen in fork ...

Introduction

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is distinguished by insulin resistance and a relative disorder in insulin secretion. The production and development of the disease is not completely understood and we find genetic factors as well as environmental factors affecting the insulin release. The disease is increasingly common and basically caused due to obesity and sedentary lifestyle. The chronic metabolic disorder affects both the insulin secretion and insulin action. It is the suppressed hepatic glucose production as well as lower insulin-mediated glucose uptake by the muscles that contribute equally to postprandial hyperglycemia.

Instrumental-rational has been evidenced through the choices that the school makes for the children in terms of food. It is unfortunate that the school allows the children to choose what they want to eat realizing the danger it causes on their health. The lunch program does not encourage children to eat healthy food but instead give them what they seem to enjoy rather than what is good for their health. The school lunch program follows set rules, which appear to be set by the government. There are specific guidelines, which are followed when preparing the foods that have ...

Junk food is a slang term for food that is rich in fat, sugar, salt, and calories, but with little protein, vitamins or minerals. Therefore, this food is of little nutritional value. Salted snack foods, sweet desserts, gum, candy, fried fast food, and soda are the examples of junk food. These foods are tempting because they are widely available, convenient and cheap. For example, in the United States only $165 billion was spent on it in 2010 (“10 States That Consume Too Much Fast Food”). Another research shows that in recent decades consumption of junk food has increased dramatically, and ...

Possible future with Brazil

BRF has a string foundation for growth and expansion in Brazil. The company should take advantage of the experience that its parent companies Sadia and Perdigao have of about 70 years each in the food industry.

BRF has experienced impressive growth in the recent years with frozen meals and frozen pizza categories of food growing by 99% and 75% ...

Food is normally seen as an engine that drives many societies in the world. It is very hard to find a given food that serves in a given state as their stable meal. Different states seem to have a taste for a given food. A selection of a specific food can never be possible as people within a state come from diverse cultures. People from diverse cultural background always have their own taste and preference. For instance, the people of Arizona are of mixed cultures and different backgrounds. It is difficult to find an official food served in Arizona, but the state is normally symbolized ...

Introduction

The last 100 years have witnessed massive changes in food production processes. This has consequently led to a huge change in the type of the foods that humans feed on. In the past most of the food came directly from agricultural fields and was only processed minimally without the addition of many additives. However, times have changed and currently, even the word ‘food” has become hard to define given the large amount of products that tag themselves as food. Synthetic foods fill supermarkets stores, and it is so hard to determine what food product is healthy and what food product ...

Abstract

Obesity is a dreaded illness that affects not only adults but children as well. Long associated with adults, the number of children suffering from childhood obesity is also on the rise as families change their lifestyle and opt for processed and unhealthy foods.

Thus, in order to address the problems of obesity, educating schoolchildren, including their families and school personnel is important. In addition, applying food tax on items considered as unhealthy is ...
