Bumble Farmer's Dilemma

Driven by such high prices, many fishermen, chefs and business owners depend on the bluefin tuna industry for a way to support their lives. Respectively so, without sustainable fishing practices and stricter regulations for the bluefin tuna, neither Japan, nor the rest of the world will even have the choice on whether or not eating and fishing bluefin tuna should be an option (Crockett).

Dr. Rodricks states that NCR’s failure to prevent the recycling of NCR broke for the manufacture of food packaging likely contributed to environmental contamination. This is speculation as Dr. Rodricks provides no evidence NCR sold any product for food packaging or that recycling facilities used NCR broke in the manufacture of food packaging. Given this lack of evidence, the proposition that NCR should have stopped the use of Aroclor 1242 in CCP, based on knowledge of incidents of food contamination by PCBs and the later discovery of PCBs in food packaging, is

After reading their report to the consumer, “A Letter to our Customers”, I have noted that although they

We live in a fast track society, and the goal of the typical consumer is simple: get the best product for the least amount of money in the shortest amount of time. When at the supermarket, it is easy to quickly scan boxes and cans for signs that assure us of a quality product. Among these familiar signs are the stamps of approval from the American Heart Association and the Smart Choices program. In many cases, however, these assurances of quality and nutrition are not what they seem to be. The use of deceptive health marketing by corporations on food products is unethical. Many of the names consumers trust to guide them in a better lifestyle are actually paid large sums of money by corporations for the privilege of putting a logo on their

The Bihari Farmer computer simulation is an online game about families in Bihari that lets you experience some of the hardships of farming that they go through in real life. I had the marvelous opportunity to play this computer simulation. My goal was to run 10 years of the program which meant that I had to keep my virtual family alive for that period of time. In this report I will take you through a short summary of my experience while being a Bihari farmer for 10 years, and I will give my opinion on what I thought was not morally acceptable and why.

Bumble Bee’s reaction to the dolphin controversy was to reduce prices to increase market share. In the short run, it worked. Market share in the U.S. increased from 17% in 1989 to 25.7% in 1992. Production in Thailand increased to spur on the increased market share. However, what was overlooked was the consumption of tuna was falling at a faster rate

OM should have view of their ethical and legal concerns which are going to affect the market of their particular product specifically for hotdogs. OM can modify their hotdogs product line in align with health issues as referred in (Figure 3)

The other controversial issue mentioned in the text is the consumer warnings vis-à-vis the acrylamide chemical detected in McDonald’s French fries. However, despite the CSPI’s confirmation that the fries contained very negligible quantities of the carcinogen, McDonald’s image had already been tarnished.

4. Common practices of beef mislabeling had led to a renewed call for ethics and integrity in Japanese businesses as well as a call for business to attend to risk management.

There is very little customers can do to ensure that they are purchasing the fish they are paying for. Producers and restaurants owners have a tendency to mislabel their products for their own reasons. The main reason is yet to be determined but there are researchers who have made it their goal to resolve this dispute and show customers what they are truly buying. Too Chin Chin et al. attempt to utilize the DNA barcoding in the fish segment, to assess the frequency of fish mislabeling on the Malaysian market (2015). DNA barcoding tries to standardize scientific classification by using short, single DNA sequence, for example, part of the mitochondrial gene COI to distinguish between species (Larson, 2007). The process begins with extracting DNA and using primers to amplify COI regions from the DNA extracts via PCR. The sequences attained are compared to the available sequences in Bold and GenBank databases to find the mislabeled products. Similarly, a character-based key can also be constructed to review the reference sequences for variable nucleotides that can serve as diagnostics for the species you wish to study (Loweinstein, 2009). Along with Too Chin Chin et al., there are other researchers who based their study on the same concept to find mislabeled seafood products in certain parts of the world. Dana Miller et al. examined seafood fraud in two types of Whitefish in Europe.

The famous actress Jessica Alba co-founded a company called ‘The Honest Company’ in 2011. The company puts emphasis on non-toxic materials for everyday use. Everything that is labeled on the products is genuinely honest.

For your information, Tuna is a member of the mackerel family. It is commonly found in the warmer waters of the Pacific, Indian, Atlantic, and Mediterranean oceans. It is one of the most popular fish being canned and sold in the market worldwide nowadays. Why did this book feature Tuna as a healty protein-rich snack? Did you know that when packed in water, Tuna is known to be a great lean protein. It is rich in omega-3 nutrients which is known to increase the body’s High-density cholesterol level (HDL) or known as the good cholesterol and decrease Low-Density Cholesterol levels (LDL) or the body’s bad cholesterol.

It is important to verify that the canned food is complete from a nutritional point of view.
