The world continues to face a wide-scale food crisis. The effects of this crisis reach from the farmers who grow and raise the food to the very system of laws that are in place to govern the system itself. Food giants are reaching deep into their pockets for lobbying in order to take advantage of both the producers and the consumer all in the name of profit. Moreover, farmers are being driven to suicide, and the ecosystem’s livelihood is treading a fine line. Both Michael Pollan and Raj Patel bring to light these problems and offer suggestions to help lessen their severity. Though there are many philosophies on which they both agree, they both have their own ideas to fight back. Pollan seeks to challenge the consumer as an individual while

Nestle writes an article that is relevant to almost all of her readers because most people shop at supermarkets. Since almost everyone goes grocery shopping, we’re bound to be exposed to the supermarket’s many marketing schemes. Coming from a family that goes grocery shopping at least three times a week, I feel that this article will allow me to avoid some of the supermarket’s sneaky

Company Q is a small local grocery store chain located in a major metropolitan area. They have recently closed a couple of stores in higher-crime-rate areas of the city, reportedly because these two stores were consistently losing money. After years of requests from customers, all of their stores have started offering a very limited amount of health-conscience and organic

Because Company Q is a small, local grocery store in a major metropolitan area it can at times be very over whelming. Big chain stores are putting family owned stores out of business on a constant basis. This reason, along with social responsibility taking hold of companies, brought on by consumers demanding that companies adjust their thinking from a profit-seeking standpoint to being socially and ethically understanding to all consumers in their business ventures.

Thomas Jefferson at his first State of the Union address stated that "agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise."Jefferson spoke of capitalism, and ultimately a free market; he spoke of an economy in which the government doesn't control the industries. It was his, and all the other Founding Fathers', firm belief that the government should not interfere with the economy, and that if it didn't the economy would thrive, and become far more innovative. However, America is not as they would have envisioned it. Contrary to their hope the government is gaining and taking control over the economy, especially in its agricultural sector.

In the words of Amerindian spokesman Harold Cardinal, the Indian Act has 'subjugated to colonial rule the very people whose rights it was supposed to protect ' (Dickason and Newbigging 293). Until the 16th century, Aboriginal people were the only inhabitants of Canada, they were an independent and self-governing people till the European invasion (Elias 1). The European Invasion brought about The 1876 Indian Act, which was developed over time through separate pieces of colonial legislation regarding Aboriginal peoples across Canada such as the Gradual Civilization Act of 1857 and the Gradual Enfranchisement Act of 1869. In 1876, these acts were consolidated as the Indian Act (Hanson). The introduction of the Indian Act and its implementations was an active effort to destroy the Indian culture; through residential schools and an unequal recognition of women. More so, successive acts functioned to preserve the essential features of the 1876 legislation by implementations of bans on cultural practices such as the potlatch. The increasing awareness of the Indians by Canadians was key to the 1951 amendment to the Indian Act which focused on changing the more oppressive sections of the act. However the inadequacies of the amended Indian Act led to the Hawthorne report which advocates for citizens plus status for Indigenous people.

In the past fifty years, there has been such a vast change in the Industrial Food Industry. Food went from being grown naturally to being processed and packaged for convenience and cheapness. This is where the problem starts, and the greed for money is to blame. The industry has been altered in order to find convenience in making product faster because we all know, time is money. It has been altered in a manner of scamming to get all you can out of as little as possible to of course, save money. It has all become a game of money and profit rather than right and wrong and I have found more than enough examples to

The problem of such purchasing is that the natural satisfaction of needs is replaced by the artificial. A good example is the marketing of milk products in the Third World. In the 1970s the multinational food company Nestle advertised powdered milk for babies as an alternative to breast feeding in countries such as Kenya. The attractiveness of the product was enhanced by the positive image of development, modernity and technology that businessman projected to mothers. In this case, however, the results were tragic, because the product required sanitary conditions that were not available in those times. Therefore, many infants who were fed in this way faced illness and even death. Far from offering a diversity of choices for the satisfaction of needs, advertisement offers only one message: “purchase a commodity.”
