Swot Analysis Of Hidden Valley's Taste Not Waste

The marketing revolves around habits. If we form the habits of just relying on them for food we will not go back thus more profit for them. It makes me think of an evil villain who’s bent on destroying the human race or at least making us all fat and lazy because that’s what’s happening. We’re becoming lazy which means our children will be lazy and the ability to cook will vanish and it will all go downhill from there. In Pollen’s article, he asked Harry Balzer what we can one do to fix this problem and he said “Easy. You want Americans to eat less? I have the diet for you. It’s short, and it’s simple. Here’s my diet plan: Cook it yourself. That’s it. Eat anything you want — just as long as you’re willing to cook it yourself” (584).

Firstly the campaign allowed people to think about and reappraise their past and present consumption. It was a public relation campaign and was the most successful campaign in history of the Kraft ANZ. Major retailers were running out of vegemite and Kraft has to ship over 1000 tons per month.

Use of Social media help paid them handsomely and people also sent 300,000 submissions, suggesting new combination for vegemite.

The article “Waste Not” by Elizabeth Royte was published in March of 2016 in National Geographic Magazine. It depicts the wastefulness of the food industry and shows the path of food from field to consumers’ homes. During the article the story focuses on Tristram Stuart; a food utilizing activist and naturalist, who is gathering wasted food for a food conservation event for the public. Stuart visits many different farms and markets to receive food that is not desirable. Throughout the world nearly one third of food that is grown is thrown away or wasted due to consumer needs and wants. This means that because there is a need and want for good quality food products that not only meet food eatable standards but also

In 2009 a movie by the name of Food Inc. was released that challenged the production of food we eat. The movie examines everything from the science of seeds all the way through the consumption of the food, the food’s often negative effects on the body. The movie ends with the line “You can change the world with every bite”. This quote embodies the heart behind movie that change starts with the individual, and how they make food choices. This sort of change that Food Inc. invokes implies that top down change that the consumer can bring about change to the seed level. Food Inc. challenges the processes that allow companies like Monsanto to feed the world. We must understand how media like Food Inc. effects this mission to feed the world by examining the movie, the history of Monsanto as a company, and looking at the response from both sides to these challenges made in the public square to better combat and address issues brought forth.

Yet farmers keep throwing out these “ugly foods.” Just because they aren’t perfect doesn’t mean they aren’t just as tasty. In fact, they’re a REAL fruit/vegetable! #AllPlantLivesMatter. If the farmers are ashamed of these foods, they could easily sell them to a company who isn’t. That way they still get profit and there is less waste from their farms.

From The Pleasures of Eating, Wendell Berry broadens the debate of the food industry with this claim: “Vegetables grown in huge monocultures are dependent on toxic chemicals—just as animals in close confinements are dependent on antibiotics and other drugs” (p. 3). Normally, the food industry topic seems to have an immediate connotation of corrupt practices in the handling of livestock; however, Berry extends the same concern to plants. The primary focus of Berry’s article is to “restore one’s consciousness” (p. 3) of the process of processing foods. Only with this knowledge can one escape—or, at least attempt to—the grasp of the food industry. What is commonplace in the American diet and the American grocery store are scientific products “produced by any means or any shortcuts that will increase profits” (p. 3), making a shopping trip for a truly healthy eater much like a task of sifting through a dump for a gem. Juxtapose the taste of “ugly” produce from a natural garden with the taste of produce engineered to be aesthetically pleasing and the competition is practically nonexistent; however, consumers of the new generation find it awfully difficult to get past the aesthetic comparison.

The complications of the U.S. food industry, the unethical approaches of the industry, and the indifference shown on the part of the industry’s leadership to address the unethical issues – all have constituted the basic subject matter of the documentary film. It must be noted that, on one hand the documentary is a critical commentary on the U.S. food industry and the American food culture, and on the other hand, it is a didactic movie in which the filmmaker has tried to make the American populace understand that, that people has the ability to change the system through ushering a change in their choice of foods and in the sphere of their food

Thanks to Imperfect Produce and other like-minded food activists people word is spreading about the aborent amount of produce that goes to waste for the simple reason that it does not meet the cosmetic standards of grocery stores.

Since the farming community has diminished significantly, it is paramount for the participants to learn these lessons. The garden project provides classes on eating healthy, teamwork and proper agricultural skills. The United States is flooded with fast, over processed food. Having this food so readily available has caused people to forget about putting the time and effort into gardening. It is essential that the future adults of the United States learn the importance of being healthy. Although Sprouting Hope may be a small organization, it has managed to expand its garden twice and now has dozens of produce

These powerful alliances requires the consumer to navigate through the confusing food environment and to pay close attention to nutritional facts, labels, and to carefully and consciously be mindful of advertisement of all sorts of media. For farmers, its a crippling business system that destroys their profession. For consumers, who do not make a conscious effort where they shop and what they eat subjects themselves to a lifestyle that can progressively lead to obesity and many other life threatening diseases. The politics of obesity and disease within the food industry is a public health concern.

We’ve all had those days where we’re in a rush or simply just don’t feel like cooking, therefore we end up buying a juicy burger from the dollar menu at McDonalds, but have we ever wondered where our food comes from?
