From the Paper
"Mike, a teacher in his early thirties, came into therapy saying that he was "disgusted and upset" with himself because of his problem with overeating. Almost immediately he spoke of being laughed at by some of the cafeteria workers at the elementary school he had attended. He described himself as functioning "fairly well" at present, but as having little social life away from his wife and five children. Mike claimed to be angry with himself for his failure to abandon his bad eating habits even though he had been able to quit smoking, presumably a more difficult addiction to overcome.
Mike was careful to point out the connection between some of his poor eating behavior and the demands of his life. It is difficult to escape the impression, however, that his claims ... "

From the Paper
"Programs of behavior modification are demonstrably effective in promoting weight loss. When the specifics of an individual instance of minor obesity are clearly delineated, a number of different behavioral control methods help in taking weight off and keeping it off. There is wide agreement on the components of a complex self-control program for the management of eating and weight loss (Craighead, Brownell & Horan, 1981). Behavior modification weight-loss programs generally involve forms of contingency management and stimulus control, as well as the more or less direct manipulation of actual eating habits. The program described here includes a combination of techniques that have proven useful in a variety of laboratory studies and clinical trials.
The behavior targeted for control is overeating. The behavior (...)"

From the Paper
"During the first fifteen centuries of the Christian era, the world's population grew at a rate of 2 percent to 5 percent per century. The rate today in many countries is between 3 percent and 4 percent per year - meaning an increase of more than nineteenfold in the next century if nothing changes. It now takes less than a decade to add a billion people to the earth's population. The consequences of this unprecedented growth are the grounds for controversy. Continued growth at current levels will quickly outstrip the world's food supplies. Figures show global hunger has increased inexorably in recent years. One can look at the rates at which global food production has risen, outpacing population growth in recent years, and deduce that hunger is merely the result of the inequitable allocation of food supplies. A 1983 United Nations Food and Agriculture (...)"

From the Paper
" The purpose of this paper is to discuss the pros and cons of junk-food ads targeted at children under 10. Each year American's consume millions of dollars of what has come to be known as "junk food." The crowds of people that line up at fast-food restaurants to buy Big Macs and Whoppers are evidence that these products are growing in popularity. Americans have discovered the appeal of fast food. It is convenient (you don't need to cook or wait for hours to be served), it is relatively inexpensive, it has a pleasing flavor, and it does fill you up.
Fast foods are just one form of junk food. There are also the sugary cereals such as Frosted Flakes and Sugar Pops, dessert snacks such as Twinkies and cupcakes, and the salted snacks such as potato chips and Doritos. Many of these products have been around for a long time, some more than 20 years."

"This paper will discuss the topic of single-cell protein sources. The focus of this report is on how bacteria, algae, yeasts and other single-cell organisms form food proteins from non-food sources such as petroleum. It was once thought that this would help the world food problem by turning non-food resources into protein food sources.
It was during the 1960s that the concept of relieving food shortages in underdeveloped countries by growing single-cell organisms to produce protein from petroleum was most popular. It was during the 1960s that several large oil companies worked out the technology for making this a reality. Basically, the carbon and energy for microorganism growth was provided by the straight-chain hydrocarbon molecules known as alkanes. The microorganisms used were yeasts similar to the food yeasts used on a large scale (...)"

"The purpose of this research is to examine and define hypoglycemia and its causes, and to outline the types of nutritional program a hypoglycemic should follow.
Hypoglycemia, as the Latin words indicate, means low blood sugar. Although diabetes, high blood sugar, is the direct opposite problem, both conditions are linked to a defective sugar metabolism in the body. Insulin, which is produced by the pancreas, causes sugar to be used. In the diabetic system too little insulin is produced so that sugar remains in the bloodstream for an extensive time. The hypoglycemic's pancreas produces an excess of insulin which results in too little sugar ... "

The High Steaks of Beef Production, 2002.
A research paper on the beef industry in America, including its environmental and health effects.
3,138 words (approx. 12.6 pages), 19 sources, APA, $ 91.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the beef industry is the largest sector in American agriculture and has many detrimental effects on the environment. Americans typically eat large quantities of red meat and consequently have a high rate of heart disease and obesity. The paper includes statistics from the American Heart Association, the Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. Furthermore, it shows that working conditions in meatpacking plants are among the most dangerous of any industry in the country. This paper also examines the inhumane treatment of cattle. Lastly, it provides alternatives and solutions for the environmental and human health problems associated with beef production, including pasture-based farming and grassfed beef.
From the Paper
"T-Bone, Porterhouse, Ribeye, Skirt Steak, Center-cut Sirloin, Chuck Roast, Tenderloin?any one of these items could rightly bear the title of ?All-American Entree.? Or how about a steamy rack of ribs, smothered in hickory-smoked barbeque sauce? Prime rib, with a little horseradish and a baked potato on the side? Meaty five alarm chili topped with Monterey jack? The American taste for beef knows no bounds. Each year, the US produces more beef than any other nation in the world, consuming an average of 116.7 lbs per capita. Compared with an average of only 68.4 lbs of poultry, and 47.8 lbs of pork per capita eaten each year in America, it is fair to say that we have a cultural preference toward eating cows. No other country boasts menu items like the 1 lb hamburger topped with cheddar, swiss, and grilled onions at Fuddrucker?s Restaurants, or the 72-ounce top sirloin at the Big Texan Steakhouse in Amarillo, TX. Finish it, and they?ll pick up the tab for you. With this kind of love for beef, it is no wonder the US red meat industry produced 26,492 lbs in 1999, making it the largest sector of our agricultural economy. But beef doesn?t stop at the table?aside from gelatin, beef by-products are used in pharmaceuticals, adhesives and anti-corrosives, just to name a few. A closer look at the mass production and consumption of red meat in America today reveals alarming situations both environmentally and in terms of human health. Technical developments in cattle-raising practices involve the use of hormones and antibiotics and consequently trying to push animals past their normal biological functions. Natural resources are taxed by beef production, and the broad picture illustrates a high degree of inefficiency. Modern meatpacking plants are not keeping pathogens out of the beef, and working conditions are far too dangerous. The entire system, from the ranch, to the feedlot, to the slaughterhouse, to the store, restaurant, and plate, is riddled with problems. It is time we find alternatives to help alleviate this American beef dilemma."

Abstract
The paper shows that consumers today are faced with a myriad of information concerning the safety and viability of vitamin supplements. One day the experts say one thing and the next day there are new studies by other experts. This all creates quite a dilemma for those who are trying to do the best for their bodies. The paper argues, however, that through the years there has been a steady stream of overwhelming evidence proving that vitamin supplements are helpful and beneficial for physical health, and moreover, may affect behavior. The paper uses information from various studies to prove that taking vitamins is extremely beneficial to ones health and wellbeing.
From the Paper
"For years researchers have studied the benefits of vitamin E on the skin, hair, heart, and over-all health. Now researchers have proven that vitamin E supplements could save millions of health care dollars each year. A study published in the ?American Journal of Cardiology? showed significant savings from various supplements, especially vitamin E. In a ?double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 2,002 patients?vitamin E reduced non-fatal heart attack risk by 77 percent? (Natural 1998). Researchers found a savings of $578 per patient in patients taking vitamin E supplements compared to those who took placebos. The savings were based on a reduction in hospital admissions for nonfatal heart attacks."

Abstract
The paper states that the issue of genetic modification of foods is a hotly debated issue The author believes that the greatest potential disadvantages of genetically modified foods are negative effects on human health and especially on the environment. On the other hand the author feels that genetically modified foods can increase the nutritional content and create disease resistance of specific crops.
From the Paper
"Genetically modified foods have the potential to have great advantages to society. By developing foods that are resistant to drought or pests, scientists may enable these foods to be grown in areas where they are not traditionally cultivated. This may have an especially significant effect on drought-stricken areas in the third world, where cultivation of commercial crops is difficult due to drought and pests."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Cocoa takes it a step further though. Not only does it provide energy for our actions. It supplies chemicals for our personalities and moods. Modern psychology leads us to believe that every thought, every idea that pops into our head is simultaneously a biological reaction. This biological reaction takes the form of chemical processes within our brains. Our mind then interprets these chemical compounds as thoughts, ideas, smells, tastes, touch, etc. Our thoughts, or chemicals compounds within our brain can determine how we feel, our motivation, our goals, our entire lives hinge upon our thoughts, for what are we but what we do. And before we do anything, we must think it. We must have considered it at some point or been subconsciously predisposed to an action or idea."

Eating for Health, 2002.
A discussion of safe weight loss versus fad dieting.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the need for safe weight loss and healthy eating as opposed to the fad diets often featured on television, in newspapers and in magazines. It compares and contrasts two different weight-loss strategies with two different approaches to reducing diets -the diet plans devised by Dr Robert Atkins, which focus on reducing carbohydrate intake and the programs devised by diet gurus such as Dr Dean Ornish in the USA and Rosemary Conley in the UK, which focus on an ultra-low fat intake as the best way to lose weight. It examines the evidence for and against these approaches to reduction dieting as opposed to the myriad of fad diets available such as diet pills and drinks.
From the Paper
"The diet industry globally makes millions of dollars each year. Brands such as Slim-Fast, Slimmers World and Weight Watchers are household names throughout the world and a new diet craze surfaces every few months, helped along by media coverage and the cult of celebrity as A-list stars and lesser mortals in the public eye rush to promote themselves as perfect beings with lifestyles worth emulating. The latest figures published by the US government show a rising incidence of weight problems in the USA with 31 per cent of adults now classed as obese, along with almost 15 per cent of those aged between six and 19, plus 10 per cent of preschool children."
