Businesses typically generate a strategy to help their plan become a reality as they began to put it in motion. Some strategies work out for the better of the organization and some strategies have to be reevaluated. Strategies are formed on either a business, corporate, or international level. Throughout the world, there are billions of businesses that function using different strategies.…
As for my Sugar Warrior client, she's been working on reducing sugars for a while now. Yes, during her process, some of my fears were justified. Eating little bits of sugar made her crave more sugar. That made it difficult for her to eliminate cravings. She still battles them. She still thinks of desserts as a viable option when she's stressed, and has to tell herself "no" each time. The individual "no" doesn't always work.…
Dr. Robert H. Lustig states in his article that it causes a raise in blood pressure, which stimulates the pancreas to release high levels of insulin. Which transports glucose to cells for immediate use. But as we eat more and more the pancreas starts to store too much and can’t transport it to the cells effectively. This leads to insulin resistance. This means that there is a lack of glucoses at cellular level, which results in the craving for sweets and carbs. This is the beginning of a vicious cycle. Insulin resistance leads to obesity and obesity increases insulin resistance and the cycle continue on and on (Lustig…
Since everyone has to eat something in order to survive it just makes you think about how much sweets you eat. Here are a few things that I do agree with. The studies that the Chicago Tribune included were really interesting not only that but it was helpful to know about these topics. Now these studies were credible because they were done by institutes that had a lot of knowledge on that topic. A study that stood out the most to me was that 71% of Americans get more than the recommended amount of sugar per day (Chicago Tribune, par. 7). This statistic sort of makes you take a step back and see if you are a part of that…
The body makes glucose by breaking down carbohydrates, proteins and fats. 15% of the American diet consists of added sugar. Sweetened beverages are the leading source of added sugar in the United States. There is a clear correlation between high sugar consumption and obesity and bad heart health. In laboratory experiments artificial sweeteners added to a rat’s diet caused their body’s to become confused and caused weight loss. The intensity of sweeteners can actually lead to a “sweet tooth” which makes the individual crave sugar and eat more than necessary. Children who are raised on sugar will live on…

Before businesses decide to put warning labels on suary drinks, they need to think of their options. Some say that is a killer and others say what gives, but I don’t think that people understand what sugary drinks can do to you. There are two sides of opinion that need to be addressed, YES warning labels should be placed on sugary drinks and NO they shouldn’t. I strongly believe that warning labels should be placed on sugary drinks for specific reasons.…
As described by the documentary when removing the fat from the product, you are also removing the flavor, thus sugar is added to give the public another reason to crave it. Although sugar may be the villain the main obstacle isn’t sugar itself rather sugar education. If costumers where made aware of not just its addictive properties they would possibly make healthier selections at the checkout counter. One of the film’s experts even referred to sugar as “chronic, dose- dependent” liver…
Campbell’s was founded in 1869 by Joseph A. Campbell and Abraham Anderson. The company was originally called the “Joseph A. Campbell Preserve Company” and produced canned tomatoes, vegetables, jellies, soups, condiments and minced meats. By 1896, Anderson left the partnership, leaving Campbell to reorganize and form a new company, Joseph Campbell & Co. In 1897, Dr. John T. Dorrance, began working for the company. Dorrance3, a gifted chemist with degrees from MIT and Göttingen University, Germany, developed a commercially viable method for condensing soup by halving the quantity of its heaviest ingredient: water. Soup was not a popular staple in the American diet at the turn of the 20th century, but it was in Europe. However, Dorrance 's condensed soups quickly became successful among the public for their convenience and their price, 10 cents a can.…
The documentary Food Inc. brings us closer to the reality of mass produced food. The purpose of the video is to open the families, meat lovers small shops and restaurants eyes and smarten them up about how the food comes to their plates. Its also sending a message to these big companies, saying that we know what you guys are up to. The food we are buying and thinking thats healty, is actually not healty at all. During the processing of our food the big companies have absolutely no mercy to people who will slow them down or cause a problem or damage their company name. Big food companies in USA such as Tyson , McDonalds and etc. prefer efficieny of their products for human health.…
However, it has also been proven that sugar is the is one of the main culprits in the war on obesity, and over 30% of US citizens are obese As a consequence, there are different types of sugar that are better if used if not at all, the sugars that we should avoid completely are processed sugars. Professor Robert Lustig, professor of paediatric endocrinology at University of California, San Francisco, author of Fat Chance: The Bitter Truth About Sugar said, instead satisfying us, some scientists believe that fructose fools our brains into thinking we are not full, so we overeat, and what do scientists believe is the main culprit behind obesity Cancer Heart disease, and many other diseases. Another factor that should conjure us not to go the…
They've been known globally for their infectious "Mmmmm mmmm good" slogan. In recent years, however, the New Jersey based, food and beverage company that brought us V8 Splash, Pepperidge Farm and Campbell's Soup, has become known for a bit more - their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Campbell Soup Co. has consistently made the top ten list of Corporate Responsibility Magazine's 100 Best Corporate Citizens - placing second in 2011 and eight in 2012. The company was also the only food and beverage company in the US to make Corporate Knights' 2012 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporation rank. Indeed, Campbell Soup Co. has seemingly embraced the CSR movement that's been transforming the global business environment. Not only has it willing integrated CSR into its business strategy, but it also hired a vice president of CSR in 2010. Even further, the company incorporated the culture into its mission: "Together we will build the world's most extraordinary food company by nourishing people's lives everywhere, every day." On its website, it glaringly displays its CSR initiatives, which it labels: "nourishing the community, nourishing the planet, nourishing consumers and nourishing employees"; even stating its total giving - approximately $51 million of its $805 earnings for 2012. Given these initiatives and the unquestionable influence that they have on its bottom-line, one must ask the question, is Campbell Soup Co. truly concerned about its impact on the wellbeing of its stakeholders, or is this all high level greenwashing? A closer look at the company's activities reveals an unequal mix between the two.…
No matter what, humans need sugar in their daily diets. To be healthy your cells require sugar as a nutrient. “Our cell health is critical to overall health. If the cells are nourished we have the right foundation for a nourished body” (Konie Pg. 2B). For some reason when humans over consume a product such as sugar, we as a society automatically see it as bad and take no accountability for our own actions and or choices. On page 2A from the article “Is sugar bad? Why I say NO!” by Robin Konie we are reminded of the natural sugars that are essential to our daily diets, like sugars found in fruits, dairy, vegetables, and other essential foods we need to consume daily.…
Sugars are the main reason of gaining or sticking calorie in our body. All those extra calories (lot of sugar like candy, donut…), add up to extra weight, which is a contributing factor for getting heart disease.…
What's the point in all of this discussion about warning labels on sugary drinks. There are a lot of things that they could take away including food. It has sugar in it to. There will be hardly anything good in the world for us later on. Pretty soon we will only have food and drinks with very little amounts of sugar. That is why there is no point in putting labels on sugary…
