Whole Foods is fighting back against a gay Christian pastor’s claim that one of its stores sold him a cake with an anti-gay message written on it, and has released the security footage of the incident. Pastor Jordan Brown of Church of Open Doors recently posted a video alleging that he had ordered a cake from a Whole Foods Texas outlet and requested to have the phrase “Love Wins” written on it. However, he says the cake he was given bore the words “Love Wins Fag,” The Blaze recounts. In his video, Brown said the packaging of the cake still has its seal because he had not yet opened the box. He also cried foul over the alleged “discrimination” committed against him. Brown then sought legal help from the Kaplan Law Firm to sue Whole Foods over
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions regardless of what other people may think. The country has undergone various changes that some have trouble adjusting as well as adapting. One of them is a baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple. I believe that the baker, Jack Phillips, is morally wrong for refusing to bake a wedding cake for the couple.

The American food industry, just think about what you eat for a minute, where do you think it comes from, how do you think it is made, what do you think it is made out of, how many ingredients are in it. Most people would not give it a second thought, mostly because they do not want to know what they are putting in their body. The fact is not if you eat one McDonald's cheeseburger you will die it is that you should at least know what you are putting in your body, then you can make your own choice if you still want to eat it.
Phillips "flat-out rejection of a wedding cake" sounded "more like a refusal to serve gay and lesbian couples rather than a conscientious objection to create particular "expression" on a confection" (S.M.). The couple also implied that "Phillips' rejection was more painful to them than the times they have been slurred in public" (Riccardi). To the couple, the refusal was also "like the institution and society...saying:" (Riccardi) they weren't equal. The charging party's "brief'"...questioned "whether the free-speech clause is implicated by a "neutral state law that does not target speech" and whether the free exercise clause could possibly be violated by a "state law that is neutral and generally applicable" (S.M.).
Today with an annual revenue of $483 billion, Wal-Mart is the largest business worldwide. It has been very profitable for long-term stockholders to own stock in Wal-Mart. Regardless of the substantial success, there have been some struggles within the company in the past few years. In its fiscal 2014, Wal-Mart produced earnings-per-share of $5.11 and has declined since then. This was due to declines in net margins and sales.
A weakness that Whole Foods have is their reputation. A reputation for a grocer is key to its survival and they have the reputation of being very expensive or some call it “whole paycheck.”
Right now, Wal-Mart is thinking about neighborhood stores as another arrangement. Likewise, we have utilized that organization to break down the transferability of Wal-Mart's upper hands.
“Neither.” At Alice’s raised eyebrow-- obviously something she learned from him-- he admits, “Alice’s cake is a bit salty.”

In contrast, many people and organizations have argued that Walmart is not holding true to their original sustainable commitments. According to the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, Walmart's greenhouse gas emissions have continued to grow over the last 10 years, and it’s percentage of renewable energy is inadequate compared to other major corporations. Stacy Mitchell, the author of the report and a senior researcher at the Institute believes that the core issue behind Walmart’s lack of action is that they will not change their unsustainable business model to make sustainable advancements. She says that, "Walmart has a highly unsustainable business model, built on shipping goods long distances, selling mountains of very short-lived products,
This day in age consumers rely on a quick fixed meal rather than a healthy staple food when in the 70’s a home cooked meal was all people knew. Obesity was never really a thing that people found as a serious problem; a term did not even exist for it. Since the 70’s health has changed greatly from type 2 diabetes increasing in numbers; to health care costs rising due to the consumption of processed food.The majority of people believe that food companies are at fault for the increasing rate of obesity. On the other hand there are people who believe it is the parents who are at fault for allowing the consumption of processed food. Teens are our future and need to be educated on the difference that can be made. It is up to teens to fix this issue due to them being our eventual economy; the people who will be creating the world for generations to come. The majority of 18-26 year olds are unaware of obesity and obesity related health crisis; millennials need to be educated on the history and state of obesity, obesities change in rate, the differences between processed foods and whole foods, the amount that should be ingested and how to take personal responsibility for what is being consume.
Grocery stores are full in America twenty- four hours every day, and also in gas stations, and airports. While you’re waiting for the next register, there’s one side showing skinny models with beautiful skin and in the other side, there’s delicious chocolate, some with peanut butter some with caramel. Difficult to resist, you end up buying a small chocolate bar, thinking its small but in reality it’s adding to the calories you have already eaten, and then your battle of urge to want another one. Including more processed and packaged foods, especially snacks. These foods are aimed for the consumer’s convenience, they are available in microwaveable containers and single serving sizes. They are quick and easy to cook, some even say “just add water”.
Fast food, it is what many people eat everyday. Everyone knows that it isn’t good for you, but they eat them anyways. It is a reason why the United States is the fattest country in the world. What people may not know is what it can does to you during an active activity, such as sports. They may think that fast food wouldn’t do much during an active activity, but they are wrong. There is a reason why coaches say that you should eat something healthy before a game. The consumption of fast foods has a basically detrimental effect on an athlete’s performance.
Heading to volleyball practice one Sunday night for practice from 7-9:30 p.m., I asked my mom if we could stop and get Arby’s for dinner. Of course her response was ‘No Kate, I made dinner at home and you can eat after practice.” Even though thinking that eating so late was bizarre and despite the fact that I was starving, that’s what my life became. My mom pretty much only cooked dinner at home and we rarely ate out because she claimed it was cheaper and eating out is unnecessary when she can cook at home. Usually I didn’t mind, except when I was really hungry, because I love my mom’s cooking, but eventually I grew used to late night dinners. My life became busy days (school and sports) and scarfing down dinner at 10:30 at night when I got home from practice. This is what I grew up on and what I thought was the best dinner option; cheap, healthy good tasting food. But this all changed when my friends and I all got our license and fast food quickly replaced homecooked meals. We were always going out and getting fast food. I soon started to realize that eating out really wasn’t that bad. Despite all the negative post on the internet and talk amongst people of how unhealthy fast food is and claiming of it not being real food; it really can’t be as bad for you as long as you don’t eat it every day and you watch what you eat. It didn’t break my bank account like I expected and I never had to eat at 10:30 p.m. because I could just grab something on the way to practice. Another plus with so many fast food joints in Springfield, IL. I was never limited to what I could eat and how much I ate.
