Being involved with the Magis Clinic would provide me the opportunity to continue being involved with serving my local community. It will also expose me more to the issues and health problems that low-income and homeless populations are afflicted by and the resources available to them. Additionally, involvement in the Magis Clinic also gives me the opportunity to work as a team with others with similar interests in serving the underserved populations in the community. By being an officer in the Magis Clinic, I will develop greater leadership skills and learn about how I can be more of an advocate for the underserved and my future patients.

Advertisements have become a distraction in everyday life. Kraft macaroni and cheese commercials have become one of the most deceiving and convincing advertisements known to mankind. A combination of young children and puppies, along with the mouthwatering images of macaroni and cheese, have unlocked the gates to most human’s hearts, appealing to their positive and bubbly emotions. Doing so, Kraft released a successful advertisement at the beginning of 2016 that distracted the viewer, as well as manipulated how the viewer felt, which made them, their family members, their children, and even their beloved pets, want to buy or consume Kraft macaroni and cheese for as long as they live.

Another largely upsetting report found that food commercials stimulate "antisocial" behavior in children. "Commercials aimed to children are overly dependent on socially negative material, violence, conflict, and/or trickery." Food companies purposefully entice children by placing logos on toys, games, clothing, and school supplies. They even go as far as to sponsor clubs, produce magazines, buy time in movies, obtain celebrity endorsers, and add their logo to baby bottles. For example, McDonald 's offers cups, toys, placemats, movie coupons, special toys, and logo labeled items for all occasions. Some companies now sell counting books to young children that require the purchase and use of the brand-name. Regrettably, "they teach children to count

Yanal Dhailieh is the entrepreneur of the instagram #foodie trend Peace Treats. He first launched the idea of a clothing line and had since expanded it to create Peace Treats. It was initially Peace Collective, which promoted Toronto with their clothes and donated some of their profits to children to provide them with school meals. He had expanded their Toronto location in renovations and decided that it could follow the trend of having clothing plus “something else”. He thought of having a milkshake bar and since expand it to his other 3 locations. In the year of their opening, they have exceeded their forecasting set previously and intend to keep that up. Their drinks have skyrocketed and had been very successful in all locations as well as on instagram which consumers described it as “Aesthetically Pleasing” and “Unique”. Dhailieh’s success and profits have been achieved because of his ambition to succeed, innovative ideas which led him to Peace Treats, and his spirited personality which gave him passion to work hard and achieve his goals.

Fast food companies have made billions exploiting children through enticing advertisements made to make a child feel the need to buy their product. Moreover, food marketing has now targeted young children for over 2 generations in the United States. Children are being specifically targeted from birth by advertising agencies and the reason being that, “Hoping that nostalgic childhood memories of a brand will lead to a lifetime of purchases, companies now plan ‘cradle to grave’ advertising strategies.” (Schlosser 43) These ad agencies know the tendencies and psychology of impressionable children, so by creating a mindset that their brand is special early on in life, they inexplicably control the entire nation. However, if American children are able to recognize brand symbols before they can

Second alternative is to not launch, because the risk is very big and we are not sure about the parent brand penetration rate. If product launch failed because product is badly perceived, Neslté will run the risk of damaging its established pasta brand. If the market is viable, Kraft that has started marketing tests before Nestlé should enter the market with pizza product and not a pasta product. If NRFC choose this option, it will lose an opportunity of $16.2 billion market.

Advertisers create commercials to connect the viewer to the product, through psychological appeals and further persuade them into believing the health food scam of the fast-food chains (Bovee 360). Subway has mastered the art of appealing to consumer emotions when regarding health. Their commercial “Friend of Jared”, proves Subway promotes the healthy food image but deceives the public with its actual product. The commercial is set in a baseball field on a nice day. The actors are participating in an amateur game and appear happy and full of energy. They quickly introduce the characters by flashing their name and amount of weight lost in the middle of the screen. While this is taking place the background jiggle sings, “join the Subway family now… it’s not too late the only thing that’s missing is you!” (YouTube Video). Once the jiggle concludes it flashes to pictures of Subways product, showing a rather large sandwich. They advertise the Subway sandwich having only 6 grams of fat, however, in tiny print at

There are a couple different themes that become very important when analyzing the Nestle Crunch Bar case. During the case, many research channels were used to find various themes and feelings residing within the consumer, conscious and subconscious. Between pages twelve and fourteen, multiple feelings/themes are presented. A couple of these have stuck out in comparison to the others, emotional comfort and enjoyment. These two themes seem to be present in the mind of the consumer through all of the consumer testing studies and also within the consumer throughout the entire purchasing experience.

In 1905, however, the companies merged to become the Nestlé and Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company, retaining that name until 1947, when the name Nestlé Alimentana SA was taken as a result of the acquisition of Fabrique de Produits Maggi SA (founded 1884) and its holding company, Alimentana SA of Kempttal, Switzerland. Maggi was a major manufacturer of soup mixes and related foodstuffs. The company’s current name was adopted in 1977.

In India, fast food culture emerged in the decades after independence, starting from the 1950’s. Eating at home used to be a significant aspect of Indian culture, so the change was gradual. Over a period of time, with a growth in the number of nuclear families, economic growth and increasing per capita income as well as globalization, fast food culture gained prominence.
