Preliminary Issues The main public health problem that is discussed in my case is the decline of state funding for food safety. Although it is mentioned that budget cuts are occurring in other state health departments in the United States as well, the population that this case has specifically discussed is in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (Realmuto & Sutaria, 2011). The Louisiana Health Department experienced an influx of budget cuts, where the Environmental Health Department had faced 20% of reductions
Food is a fundamental component of survival and continuation of human life. It gives sustenance to our physical bodies empowering humankind to survive and accomplish their visions. On the other hand, it hinders an individual's health when it gets to be poisonous and irresistible to the body. Food-borne illnesses are responsible for the hospitalization of 128000 American and the demise of 3000 on a yearly premise (Lawley, Curtis and Davis 24). The subject of this article suggests that explaining nourishment
Modern Food Biotechnology, Human Health and Development: An Evidence-Based Stud Food security is a recurrent issue in modern society due to the continual increase in human population. Most countries have invested in scientific research in order to bridge the disparity that is existent concerning demand and supply of food (Roberts 7). This clamour for food security has enhanced the development of dynamic biotechnological procedures that not only accentuate food production but also offer an opportunity
the Department of Health and Human Services under the Executive Branch, probably the most interesting agency in my eyes because of its importance in the nation and how a mistake from them or maybe a wrong move can be lethal. This very important agency can actually be traced back to the 1800's but bills were placed after it earlier agencies to become what it is today after protests and cries of those living in the nation around the early 1900's. (Office of the Commissioner) Its food we are talking about
Despite specific populations being at greater risk for ill health or mortality related to foodborne illness—advance-aged adults, pregnant women, children/infants, and persons with a weakened immune system secondary to a medical condition—all food consumers are susceptible to foodborne illness. Prior to inspection or regulatory requirements and food safety, many people became ill or died from unsanitary conditions, unclean food, and foodborne illness. According to the CDC, foodborne illness is estimated

Step 1: Identify Preliminary Issues: Many state environmental health departments, more specifically, regarding programs associated with food safety are experiencing areas of reduction. In Baton Rouge, Louisiana in January of 2010, the Department of Health was facing a 20% budget reduction in their food safety programs which would force the director to fire employees and reduce services that could be disastrous to the overall health of residents; CDC stated about $87,680,289 in cuts during 2009 (Realmuto
WTO and Health Food, human health and general safety threatened One of the negative aspects that accompanies the WTO is that it threatens food security and sovereignty. Agreements that give governments the right to protect human, animal, plant life and health are to a certain degree handcuffed by the presence of the WTO. Here the organization acts as to stop governments from using such protection needs to further use such policies to protect domestic producers and that
Food, we need it to survive and thrive. Food is our source of nutrition and energy. When we consume food and water, our body breaks food down into tiny particles and sends the nutrients throughout our bodies through blood. This is called digestion. According to science, nutrients are one of the four requirements of life for all human beings. Every day, we are faced with choices about our foods. Do we eat fast food, healthy, organic or non-organic? Should we eat genetically modified foods and how
