The Is A Conflict And Concern

Many consumers are often not aware that a large number of companies do not label everything they put

Oftentimes conflicts are only considered to be only an international difference in opinions, however, conflict can be present as a national issue. In the United States of America, although considered a relatively peaceful country, experiences national conflicts regularly. Dennis Prager says “Since neither black animosity nor the Left’s falsehood of ‘racial tensions’ is based on the actual behavior of the vast majority of white Americans, nothing white America can do will affect the perceptions of many black Americans or of the leftist libel.” This quote defends the idea that in most cases, the racial tension is one sided and without clear evidence.

What we can do to stop this, is by having informed eating choices, and avoiding plastic bags, and using biodegradable take out boxes at restaurants. Other than that, while we were at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, we did many activities. One activity was at the Discovery Lab. This is where we learned about K-P-C-O-F-G-S (but only about the P). This stands for Phylum. The definition of Phylum according to the Urban Dictionary is a class or a rank of some kind, used in describing the structures and descents within the animal world (or plant). So we compared different animals in the same phylum, then later we played a game of figuring out what phylum that animal was in. Late on we got to go to the touch pools. There I touched a sea cucumber and I touched a red abalone. A fact a learned about this animal was that it costs about $85 to eat it. It is also supposed to be the greatest seafood meal ever. After that, we got to see our fellow classmate’s dad do a live dive and

Improper food labeling is such a serious health concern that there are also penalties if labeling is incorrect or false. There are three major causes for incorrect food product labeling. The first cause is raw material/ingredient substitution and the reason is substituting original ingredients with other ingredients due to unavailability. It can significantly impact on labelling and your label would have been developed based on a certain brand or type of ingredient and changes can affect both the ingredients listing and the nutritional data (5 Simple Causes).

There are varied arguments that favor or are against compulsory labeling of genetically engineered food products. Those who argue for the labeling of such products argue that consumers have a right to know what is contained in their food, particularly food products for which there have been health and environmental concerns (Caswell 26). Compulsory labeling will permit consumers to identify and avoid those food products that may cause them problems. On the contrary, those who argue against mandatory labeling point out that

Planet Shrimp wants to use ‘clean’ shrimp as their main point of differentiation, highlighting their closed-loop aquaculture process that does not involve toxins and ensures environmental sustainability throughout. As consumers are continually concerned about knowing where their food comes from, the safety of their food and price point, Planet Shrimp should understand how to educate the public about the ‘clean’ shrimp movement (The Canadian Press, 2014a). To achieve this, Planet Shrimp must answer the question:

There are so many options for an environmentally conscious consumer these days looking to buy groceries, with the multitude of different eco-labels popping up each time you visit the grocery store, it’s becoming more difficult to know which products are the right ones to buy. “Salmon Safe” products line our shelves from wine bottles to produce and are status’ given to places like the Nike campus and golf courses. Is this just another label to get us environmental minded consumers to buy their products or is Salmon Safe actually effectively helping to restore the Pacific Northwest (PNW) salmonid species? Salmon safe certification works across the entire region of the PNW but

After presenting the arguments of supporters and opponents of the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act. This paper will now analyze each issue to determine the strengths and weakness of each side’s arguments. One argument that proponents make about genetically modified foods is that they are no different than natural foods. An argument that opponents make is that genetically modified organisms have not been tested enough because they are fairly new and some scientist truly don’t have a understanding of how it will effect humans bodies differently than natural foods. Proponents argue that genetically engineered foods have no needs for labeling; it would lead to consumer confusion. Opponents argue that consumers have the right to know what is

With all of the information readily available on the internet and news broadcasts it is hard not to hear about the government food labeling controversy currently going on. There are people who want to label genetically modified, organic and natural foods and then there are some who want to do away with all of the labels for one reason or another. Government mandated food labels are a big deal right now because everyone has an opinion about it. A main cause of why this is such a big problem is because not all of the information out there on the subject is correct. Some labels can be misleading to consumers unless they know what regulations and standards are used in order to stamp certain words onto food packages. The biggest factor of the cause and the main focus to the solution here are the same thing: education.

Of course, not every food can have a 'complete' label. But this is no excuse regarding the right of consumers to be educated and aware about the

More and more consumers are becoming concerned with what they eat, especially when their food comes from a vague source and processed with unknown techniques. It makes it very difficult to try and regulate what goes into each and everyone’s bodies if the package labeling on food products does not perfectly reflect the nutritional value within. With food industries leaving out certain information, and/or not making it very visible, it can lead to increased public health problems including allergies and diabetes.

Another concern that many consumers and consumer groups have is whether or not these GM salmon should be labeled

The article, “Environmental Working Group Seafood Report is a Conspiracy,” is a criticism of a report issued by the Environmental Working Group about the hidden dangers of consuming fish. Although it is clear that the article comes from a representative of the National Institute of Fisheries, there are very few concrete details about the author. The author’s real name isn’t even stated in the heading, but rather they use the pseudonym “Tuna Council.” The only way to tell where the article is from is by the “National Fisheries Institute” insignia at the bottom. While the specifics of the author is unknown, their opinion on the underconsumption of fish in the U.S. is very clear.

The company’s opposition to proposed GMO labeling laws, which require that foods sold to consumers containing GMOs include a label, has not helped its image. Their stand on this was that mandatory labeling could imply that food products containing these ingredients are somehow inferior to their conventional or organic counterparts. Their view is supported by FDA’s requirement on labeling only if there is a meaningful difference between that food and its conventional counterpart (“Labeling”). Monsanto labeling policy does not align with AquaBounty’s effort to improve its public perception by establishing thorough labellings for consumer’s information. A partnership formed between Monsanto and AquaBounty would require clear notations on how the partnership will handle the labelling situation
