comprehensive, and intuitive summary of the elements on the definition of foods. “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” is written in a direct, clear, and informative manner for the general audience, including farmers, consumers, and those who actively involve with processing foods. Readers will be able to establish a deeper understanding of the evolution of collecting food, and how that has affected the choices of putting together a perfect meal. The book follows a reverse sequence, which might serve as a hindrance
making local foods more sustainable (at least on one metric). Sustainability focuses on reducing energy- and resource-use throughout all aspects of food production, processing and distribution. Food waste has become a particularly hot topic in the food industry, and something businesses are beginning to tackle. Solutions include new processing technologies, such as Mouvex’s “eccentric disc pump products” that maximize product recovery from piping, as well as new packaging strategies, such as single-serve
The Weberian Rationalization of Commercialized Kibble In the early 20th century, Max Weber foresaw the emergence of modernity through the inevitable unfolding of formal rationality in all institutions and facets of society. During this time in history, society was in a rapid transition via the forthcoming of Protestantism and the idea that one’s salvation was no longer predestined in heaven.

ABSTRACT According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2015), “the rate of obesity among adults and children have doubled since the 1980s” and “approximately one-third of the US adult population and nearly one-fifth of children between the ages of 2-19 are classified as obese”. The government can take a different stance to reverse this issue by redirecting subsidies to food companies influencing the food market, promoting a preventative stance (instead of reactive) on health care
Food, Inc. The American food industry is a complicated field. There have been various attempts to investigate how the agribusinesses manage to produce food for such a large population. The companies involved in the industry have to resort to any means necessary to produce food that is enough to feed the population. The filmmaker, Robert Kenner, investigates the industry and the practices they undertake to produce food through a 2008 documentary titled Food, Inc (Lindenfeld 385). The film shows the
Chapter 5 Design and FPGA Implementation of OFDM Synchronization The channel estimation technique proposed in Chapter 4 is based on the assumption that the coherent reception is perfect. That is, the system synchronization is perfectly implemented. Synchronization is one of the most challenging and important tasks to any receiver using coherent modulation, especially for OFDM systems which are highly sensitive to synchronization errors. This chapter proposes a synchronizer based upon the delay
