The Dangers of Microwave Oven

Michael Pollan’s article The Cooking Animal, describes the decline of home cooked meals and its effects. Cooking, he says, is what separates us from animals. It’s how we became civilized. By making us come together and share food, we learn about each other and ourselves. Although its importance, cooking is rapidly declining in modern times. What was once a daily ritual is now becoming a special occasion. Replacing cooking is convenient, yet horribly unhealthy, processed foods thus worsening the already increasing obesity problem. ”The more time a nation devotes to food preparation at home, the lower its rate of obesity” (Pollan 583). Pollan explains the importance of home cooked meals and it’s correlation with obesity and how we have

Opposing view point online collection in the article “Food Safety” explains that food safety is an issue that very few people think about until they become sick. Opposing viewpoints online collection supports their explanation by giving statistics on the amount of people that get sick each year along with the different types of foodborne illnesses there are. The author’s purpose is to show the dangers of foodborne illnesses by estimating that “40 million people experience foodborne diseases every year. In order to eliminate foodborne illnesses they must set a certain food standard. The author establishes a formal tone for the reader. This work is significant because it informs the readers what we need to do for solve the food safety issues

The greatest disadvantage of the food industry is unhealthy eating. This is derived from high amounts of sodium which can be found in most fast food industries. The manner in which these foods are cooked also plays a pivotal role in the unhealthy aspects of certain menu items. Ingredients which are not understood by consumers who are becoming more health conscious has

In many ways, food produces unity among families, friends and people across the world. Food is not only an essential factor to one’s nutrition, but it creates a sense of tradition. Unfortunately, many are unware of how the American food system is negatively impacting the health of our society. “The production, processing and distribution of food” (AMP Global Youth) describes the American food system, forming “independent producers into dependent consumers”. Americans are finding alternative ways in which they can “produce” food quickly. They are now relying on fast food industries, as well as frozen foods and canned foods; therefore, cooking less in the kitchen. In society, there are many factors that contribute to the negative impact of the American food system; however, advertisements by large food corporations, play a big role in promoting false information of the foods we consume.

Furthermore, the idea of a quick meal that can be microwaved in minutes or handed over from a drive thru window are often more appealing than spending the time necessary to cook a well balanced meal. It is for this reason that one third of American children are classified as obese (Tovar et al., 2012). Other factors that play a role in this unfortunate situation include

Most people use microwaves everyday. A lot of people actually wonder how microwaves work. For example, radio waves and radiation, microwaves use radio waves and radiation to heat foods (How Microwave Cooking Works, 2015). Furthermore, radio waves heat food by getting water molecules out of food (How Cooking Works, 2015). In addition, the history of a microwave started off very interesting. For instance, there was someone whose name was Dr.Percy Spencer, he accidently discovered the microwave (Clevenger 2015). More importantly, Dr.Percy had a chocolate bar in his pocket, he was testing a new vacuum and then the radiation and heat from the vacuum melted the chocolate (Clevenger, 2015). In the end, microwaves are something that is very useful

That following year they created the first commercial microwave, called "Radarange" hit the market with acost between $2,000 and $3,000 this was very unpractible for home use mostly restaurants and wealthy people had access to microwaves. Finally in 1965 Raytheon introduced the first countertop domestic oven. It was much smaller, a lot more safe and reliable than older models with a cost of $500. the sales of microwave ovens eventually surpassed those of gas ranges in 1975. In 1976 when the fears and myths began to die down, the microwave became more common household item than the dishwasher more than 60% of Americans had one at this time. In 1994 more than 90% of Americans had a

The health of RF-EMFs stared January 1990 when a cell tower was buildup 800 feet from a family that had a dairy farm in Mansfield, Ohio. By the fall, the cattle herb that pastures near the tower was sick, and the children that lived near the tower begin suffering from bizarre skin rashes, that’s when the owner of the farm contacted an environmental protection agency scientist named Carl Blackman. He’s was an expert on the biological effects of radiation from electromagnetic fields (EMFs)-the kind of radiofrequency EMFs (RF-EMFs) by which all wireless technology operates, including not just cell phones towers and cell phones but also Wi-Fi hubs and Wi-Fi –capable computer, smart utility

Everyone has those mandatory kitchen appliances like the refrigerator, the microwave, and the oven, but the fact of the matter is that there are a lot of other extremely useful kitchen appliances out there that could make your life easier and your time spent in the kitchen more pleasurable. If you are curious and you want to find out what appliances we are talking about, read the following lines.

The American family has come a long way from the what we use to know as the T.V. dinner of the 1950s prepared in the stove comprised of portions of meat, vegetables and dessert in the divided foil tray. Multinational and national corporations must think of innovative concept to drive current and new customers to its particular microwavable frozen meals products. The microwavable frozen meals e.g. Healthy Choice, Lean Cuisine, Michelina 's, etc. are occasionally healthier and/ or at times a better options for working families, individuals and society. Instead of the traditional usage of the oven or stovetop culinary countless people today utilize microwaves due directly toward their busy lifestyles. Low-calorie labels/ brands are

Some parents simply do not have the time to cook for their families, so they look for an alternative option. Many people will get fast food because of how convenient it is. Fast food restaurants are everywhere and since they are so easily accessible, parents will often chose that over cooking. Another easy option that parents turn to is microwaveable meals. Microwaveable foods have become so popular because of how quick and simple they are. Since these meals are so simple, children are able to make food for themselves at a younger age. The children no longer have to rely on their parents to cook for them and the children are able to make food whenever they are hungry. Microwave meals have made it easy for families to make their food whenever they get hungry, making family dinners a rare

I agree with the general stance of the author, and that is that I am extremely suspicious of McDonaldization and whether it is really a harm to society rather than a blessing. I disagree with three of the five key elements of McDonaldization, those being predictability, calculability, and control by non-human technologies. Firstly, by making the daily interactions of life more and more predictable, life loses some of its meaning. People are meant to confront all different types of situations and interactions to get a feel for the possibilities of life. For example, in the case of home-cooked meals, if people were not to occasionally receive a meal which was bad tasting, how would they be able to appreciate a really delicious meal. The whole idea of predictability goes against our ‘human-ness’, because we were all created to perform differently. Secondly, calculability leads to a belief that quantity is more important than quality. According to Ritzer, “In terms of processes, the emphasis is on speed(usually high), whereas for end results the focus is on the number of products served(usually large).”(pg. 59) In my opinion, the reason the majority of Americans are overweight is because of this “bigger is better” theory. The quality of other things is also affected in this way, such as of education, healthcare, and general productivity in a business. Thirdly, I think the increasing use

A small number of mega food companies dominate the food industry in America, and the world; they’re committed to increasing profits and market share despite known health risks such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes, which are associated with the processed foods they produce. In fact, they chemically engineer their food to ensure consumers crave it. Newly developed Sustainable Development Goals aim to reduce non-communicable diseases such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes by the year 2030. Consumers should support legislation requiring cancer and other health risk warning labels for processed foods and begin to make more informed choices on what they purchase.

A Thermoplastic device is one of the immobilization devices used to immobilize cancer patients during radiation therapy treatment, such as head and neck cancers. One way to form a thermoplastic device is to use one of the heating devices that are specifically designed to fabricate customized thermoplastic immobilization in the optimal conditions. The patients may be at risk of infection from heating devices used to produce their masks. In this study, authors assess individual facility practices where water baths or other heating appliances are used to fabricate thermoplastic immobilization devices to determine whether heating appliances carry a disease transmission risk.

In an effort to address the issue of radio frequency radiation exposure in this community, we will provide a background on the sources of radio frequency radiation as well as the known and suspected health effects. We will also proposed two epidemiological studies and discuss risk management and
