Proposal For Food And Beverage

The documentary Food Inc. is a great example of commercial farming. The purpose of commercial farming is to mass produce food and animals, to feed the community. The concept of commercial farming could also go along food security. The community needs to make sure that there is enough food to feed the growing population at all times. The problem right now isn’t that there isn’t enough food, but rather that there is too much food. The Tyson company produces all kinds of meat to feed people around the country, and when doing so they tend to overproduce. With this overproduction, we are left with expired animals that cannot be produced into food for consumption, and in turn, provide extra parts that aren’t useful or helpful.

In the book Good Food Revolution, it focuses on the main point of Will Allen’s life and how he has always been around food. I believe the book does a good job with tying in different connections and references with food and with Will Allen since he has grown up around food ever since he was little. When the book states “The fate of a seed can be predicted by the health of the soil where it takes the root” I believe that Will Allen is referring and connecting it back to himself. I believe he relates this to himself because a plant's roots are surrounded by soil and Will Allen has planted his roots around farming and food. A plant needs soil to survive and Will Allen needed farming to survive. His whole life and job has revolved around planting. A plant lives off of what it knows and its surroundings and Will Allen did the same. His parents planted the seed to get the initial start in farming so he picks up where they left off. Even though he was not into farming when he was younger he learned to grow and find a  passion for farming as he grew older because it has always been around him. No matter where he went he held onto farming because that is all he knew. I believe this connection between Will Allen and the quote about the plant enhances and helps tell the story of how Will Allen got involved in farming.

Many organizations, such has hospitals have turned to community based organizations (CBOs) to help spread information that can help African-Americans become more equal with the White population (Griffith et al., 2010). In most cases having these CBOs, communicate information with people, which often leads them to trust the information, due to the source it came from, and helps them relate the information to their culture (Campbell & Quintiliani, 2006). This way, many more people may receive the message and might be more inclined to use the information in their daily

What do you understand from the movie about why Monsanto is able to sue farmers for something as basic as saving their own seeds? What is your response to this kind of corporate prosecution of farmers?

Remember when the tobacco industry was on trial and being held accountable for their illicit marketing and targeting tactics to further profits all the while denying any health issues associated? America has a similar issue but not as illuminated as the tobacco industry resulting in the surgeon general’s warning. This issue is free to market to children, free to market wherever profits are foreseeable, and free to label products to become more appealing. This issue is the ever growing food industry. Kind of taboo to blame food for the severe and skyrocketing obesity rate in America right? Have you ever checked your labels? Know what’s really in your food? Looked at and researched health programs controlled by politicians and bought and paid for health officials? The American food industry needs to have government regulation to prevent further obesity and malnutrition that is devastating our public health on a national scale.

In recognizing that the hard work or removing barriers to success for Black Male and other marginalized communities does not exist in a vacuum, partnerships with like-minded organizations that can play an extremely important role in expanding the efforts of the WRF MMWEC beyond Arkansas and create help create a national plan of action. One such partnership is with organizations like the Association of Black Foundation Executives (ABFE) Black Male Funders Learning & Action Network (LAN), which is a network of funders that currently direct resources to initiatives to improve life outcomes for Black males. By partnering and receiving financial support from ABFE, the ability to share best practices, aggregate data, and build a strategic plan

Although the wealth gap between blacks and whites is still unbelievably big, African-American’s income and employment rates are steadily on the rise (Desilver) . African-American’s tend to move up in their same social class or completely move out of it. Even though African-Americans face prejudice and discrimination, they are not the only minority group to experience these issues.

LAKELAND, Fla. – On March 7, after many months of long waiting, Buena Vida Food Court has finally opened to the public in the east wing of the new Live/Learn facility at SEU.

The event covered the history of oppression and the cultural differences that minorities currently face in America, and did not exclusively focus on one group in particular. Instead, the students chose to act out scenes relatable to all minorities and their histories including: African Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Latino Americans, and Native Americans. Personally, I knew little about the history of these minority groups other than what I had gathered from lectures prior to the program. The ATP team presented engaging scenes and videos in order to inform the audience on the history of oppression and white privilege that has taken place in the United States over the past two centuries. With many of us in

Another topic discussed was ways to stop discrimination within professions and in everyday circumstances. Using the movie Crash, we were shown clips that defined different aspects of racism, sexism and inequality. After each clip, there was a discussion as to what type of discrimination was performed and ways to redirect that behavior. Within the packet, there was a diversity list that gave ways to stop discrimination. These behaviors included make new friends of all backgrounds, be willing to share in open dialogue, be willing to ask questions and several more. This list helps reiterate that learning different cultural backgrounds is easier than we think it is. Living by this list will cause a decrease in the amount of discriminatory actions

Recently, a few of the top chicken producers such as Tyson and Perdue were claimed to treat their chickens inhumanely. Not just that, many of the large food companies such as McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Chick-fil-A are being exposed by their contract farmers. To create a voice for the animal, many articles, websites, and books were created, dedicating to petition for animal rights, especially for chickens.

The current state of our food system here in the United States is one that not all are aware of. According to Oran B. Hesterman, Ph.D., there are extreme consequences to the way our current food system is moving.

The film I watched was titled Food, Inc. This film examines the food industry and the industrial production of the many products we eat today (meats, grains, and vegetables). This film is trying to explain how agribusiness is producing food that is not healthy. In the film they also assess how todays agribusiness is harmful to the environment and abusive to the animals and workers. This film examines where the food we eat is coming from, how it is being produced, and who is producing it. They film is diving into how few giant corporations are basically controlling the growth, processing and sale of food in this country. In the film they give a statistic, which states that the top 4 meat-producing companies in the country are responsible for

A food and beverage control system is a means of computerizing best practice within a restaurant or catering operation. It gives managers a better idea of the flow of food through the restaurant, enabling them to plan cash flow and stock control more effectively. At the sharp end, it provides chefs with a more structured way of planning menus, taking into account nutritional and financial considerations.

Because of the exploratory nature of some of the aspects of the objectives, we need to have detailed qualitative information.
