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."

Abstract
This paper argues that it is the large portion size and calorie content of our meals, rather than eating health-foods versus fast/junk foods, that is the true causative agent of obesity and related health problems in America. The paper bases this proposition on research done in the field of anti-aging which shows extreme life-extension and health benefits in animal and molecular studies when calories are reduced by forty percent from normal. Furthermore, the paper proposes that Americans be educated from a portion-control perspective first and a healthy-foods perspective secondarily.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to discuss whether or not cigarette advertisements should be banned. The paper will present both the pro and con points of view on the issue. It will then conclude by taking the position that advertising for cigarettes should indeed be prohibited.
At this point in time, cigarette manufacturers spend over two billion dollars per year on the advertisement of their products. Of that total, over six hundred million dollars goes to newspaper and magazine advertising; almost three million dollars goes to billboard advertising; almost one hundred fifty million dollars are spent on give-away promotions; and sixty million dollars are used for investment in public entertainment activities such as sports and cultural events (?Ban Cigarette Advertising?? 1987, p. 568). It is apparent from these figures that(...)"

Abstract
This paper examines how microorganisms are extremely important aspects of our food supply: They can cause spoilage, they can ferment our foods and they can cause us illness through foods. It looks at how they can be found in all types of foods ? fresh food, prepared food and even preserved food. It covers such issues as food spoilage and inhibition of the growth of pathogens, microbial ability to cause disease in humans (using Staphylococcus aureus as a particular example) and commercial uses of microbes in food (fermentation etc).
From the Paper
"Food poisoning results from ingestion of food that contains previously formed microbial toxins. The microorganisms that created the toxins are not usually alive when the contaminated food is eaten. The illness is caused by the action of the toxins. One of the most common forms of food poisoning is caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It is most often found in foods such as poultry, meat, egg and meat salads and creamy salad dressings. It results from the foods not being kept refrigerated after they have been prepared, as S. aureus can grow very rapidly at room temperature. Even if the food is heated again before ingestion, the toxin may not be destroyed as it is reasonably heat stable."

Genetically Modified Foods in Africa, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that the debate over African nations refusing U.S. GM food aid encompasses a much larger scope than the Western debate over GM foods. The author points out that, not only must African nations consider the same human health and environmental implications of GM food as their Western counterparts, but also African countries must negotiate a minefield of political and economic concerns unique to the region. The paper states that the debate surrounding GM foods in Africa must take into consideration some uniquely African problems, including Africa's desperate need to feed its large population and the relative poverty of the African nations.

From the Paper
"Later reports noted that Zambia's decision was influenced strongly by the UK-based BMA's fears about the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in FM foods to bacteria, and the potential for GM foods to cause allergies. Supporters of GM foods argue that the Zambia's decision was based on bad advice from the BMA. For example, the South African head of AfricaBio notes, "The American Medical Association backs GM food, as does the Royal Society in Britain, the Third World Academy of Sciences and the Food and Agriculture Organization".

Abstract
The impact of military food research on the food industry has emerged in recent years as a topic of growing significance and importance to citizens, scientists and government officials alike. This paper explains that military research on food has had a significant impact on the food industry, mainly because military research in this area often consists of food preservation, nutrition and performance enhancements. The paper points out that all of these categories directly impact the economic and nutritional aspects of the food industry. Research indicates that food intake in the military is influenced by the same factors that influence food intake in non-military settings. This paper analyzes and discusses the impact of such research on the food industry as a whole.
From the Paper
"Military research on the food industry often consists of studies conducted on the diets of those serving in the military, and how those diets may be modified to improve performance. The National Academy of Sciences published a report in 2004 from the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board concluding that combat soldiers engaged in extended field operations might improve their mental sharpness and physical stamina by eating a diet supplemented with specific food components. Similar research indicates that other food components also have been shown to have beneficial effects, but some do not live up to performance expectations. In the 2004 report, the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board examined six food components; tyrosine, choline, carbohydrates, caffeine, carnitine, and structured lipids."

A look at the recent connection being made about fast food and obesity in America.

»

Abstract
This paper examines the latest media frenzy about the link between fast/junk food and America's ever-increasing trend of obesity, especially in youngsters. The paper argues, however, that obesity trends cannot be blamed on this factor alone.
From the Paper
"Finally, some believe that people are to blame for their own fate when it comes to obesity. Americans tend to make poor choices such as knowingly eating high-fat foods, putting taste and convenience ahead of nutrition and avoiding physical activity. Rather than blaming the fast food industry as does Schlosser, advocates of individual responsibility state that "Each of us should be held accountable for our health choices, how much we eat and how much we exercise. Why should the fast-food industry be responsible for our decision to order French fries instead of a salad? We do not have the right to blame the fast-food industry for our choices.""

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Organization. In virtually every type of organization, responsibility and accountability are inextricably related. According to Loren E. Newland (1997), "This concept is no less true in the lodging industry. For example, the food and beverage manager is responsible for ensuring that quality meals are served to guests. If guests are satisfied, the food and beverage manager receives the credit. If the guests express dissatisfaction with their dining experience, the same manager is subject to criticism" (45)."

Abstract
This paper is a literature review on the topic of waste disposal in the food service. The aim of the paper is to examine the issues that pertain to this topic, mainly: how much waste food services generate, where and how does this wastage occur, what the disposal methods and techniques are available and which one are being utilized, and finally, if there is research in the field of waste reduction in the food services.
From the Paper
"The issue of food wastage in the food service is complex and extensive studies have been done where the causes and amounts of food waste were examined. This topic is of great importance not only because of the amounts of waste generated but also because of the economic costs of such unnecessary waste. The article by Edwards and Nash (1999) is one of many that examine and quantify food wastage, and this paper in particular examines the food wastage in the hospital food service management. They examined nine wards in total: there surgical, three medical and three elderly wards. The goal of their study was not to identify the reasons for the food wastage but rather to assess and quantify it. "

From the Paper
"Organic farming is the most vital part of the organic industry. They are particularly important in the United Kingdom because of the demand for organic products. Organic farming is a unique trade because farmers utilize natural means to produce crops and they have to adhere to very strict regulations. The soil Association explains that under current regulations, land has to be managed organically for at least two years before it can qualify for organic certification (Key elements of organic farming 2005). In addition, a conversion plan including comprehensive cropping plans, rotations and budgets is a vital part of successful integration into organic farming and is a requirement for certification (Key elements of organic farming 2005)."
