The decision has been made by senior company management to explore a new energy beverage as a part of a corporate business strategy to focus on opportunities in high-growth and high-margin beverage businesses. Barker must determine whether or not a profitable market opportunity exists for a new energy beverage brand to be produced, marketed, and distributed by the company. He must then make a recommendation as to whether or not the company should introduce a new branded product into the energy beverage market.

    Soda Pop

    More and more young people are experiencing hypertension and childhood obesity, and because of which are seemingly becoming more prone to various diseases (Should Government Tax Sugary Drinks?). Many take a stand on the issue, as New York for example no longer allows the use of trans fats in their restaurants. Still the cost of unhealthy food has remained nearly the same, while the cost of a high yield diet has soared beyond that of the rate of inflation (Should Government Tax Sugary Drinks?). The idea has been presented that the government place a tax on unhealthy food, such as America’s favorite – soda pop! Various valid points have been made in relation to how this “sin” tax could help to benefit our financial deficit and better influence the people (A Tax That Invests in Our Health). Others object, saying that the tax is a form of discrimination, separating us about our assumed character and wellbeing (Does This Tax Make Me Look Fat?). Though the answer seems so clear to some at first how to go about imposing such taxes, it is important that the complexity of the situation is recognized to see if the tax would be effective enough to be worthwhile.…

    This article discusses how in the Appalachian areas of the United States children as young as 6 month are given this high-sugar, highly caffeinated cheap soda to drink called Mountain Dew. This may be because Mountain Dew is cheaper than milk. Parents are allowing far too much caffeine in their systems which cause potential bone damages and mailing causing teeth to rot in the toddlers as young as age two. Lemon and Lime drinks are very damaging to the teeth and Mountain Dew has both. Citric acid is in a lot of lemon or lime- flavored beverages and all carbonated beverages have phosphoric acid that which erode the teeth.…

    In the third article “Australian State Bans Cosmetic Surgery For Teens”, written by Dan Childs. The text is pretty clear about its opinion on cosmetic surgery on teens. It wants to ban cosmetic surgery because teens are not able to make such a big decision, when there body is still changing. Further on there are also many risks that comes with these surgeries, for example death or a heart attack. There are also people who think that cosmetic surgery on teens shouldn’t be banned, because the government should mind their own business and not get involved with peoples personal life. They also think that some teens are mature and intelligent enough to make the decision and understand the risks involved. My personal opinion on this topic is that cosmetic surgery on teens should definitively be banned. I don’t think that teens who are 16-17 years old would be able to make such a decision. Because when you are in that age your body is filled with hormones which makes it difficult for you to accept your body as it is. Parents should also get more involved and tell the teen that he/she is perfect just the way they are. There is only one situation where I would find it acceptable for teenagers to get cosmetic surgery. That is if one gets involved in some sort of accident, for example a car accident or fire disaster which would require a skin transplant to look normal again.…
