Abstract
This paper discusses how the world's milk production depends on agencies such as the FDA and national cooperation between dairy farms. It also looks at how other suggestions for a comprehensive milk quality improvement system include the investigation of the health status of raw milk, as well as the clear delineation of responsibilities for quality investigation, for activities and processes to improve milk quality. Additionally, the paper examines how processes such as pasteurization have created an extended shelf-life for milk and milk products and how the government could also implement an extension service for milk producers, which would secure the necessary problem areas and would be aimed at obtaining the highest degree of efficiency and synergy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Milk, a natural liquid food, is one of the most nutritionally complete foods, adding high-quality protein, fat, milk, sugar, essential vitamins and minerals to one's diet. Milk contains bacteria that, when improperly handled, may create conditions where the bacteria can multiply. The microorganisms that constitute bacteria can find their way to the hair, udder, and teats of dairy cows and can move up the teat canal. Some of these germs cause an inflammatory disease of the udder called mastitis while others enter the milk without causing any harm to the animal. In addition, organisms can enter the milk supply during the milking process when equipment is used in milking, transporting, and storing the milk is not properly cleaned and sanitized. "

Abstract
This paper focuses on the milk industry and how its prices have fluctuated. The paper studies the last ten years and reports that the prices have erratically soared and plummeted showing just a slight upward trend. The paper looks at the increasing demand for organic milk and discusses how the market is unpredictable and might have something in store for careless producers. The paper concludes that although a time of great opportunity is arising, milk companies should act with prudence in order to avoid any negative aftermath.
From the Paper
"At present, the milk industry has to face three major issues: lack of variety, out-of-stock problems, and limited promotion of milk. These factors have a negative effect on demand, as convenience stores do not refill their shelves quickly enough, while 40% of the customers leave empty-handed if they do not find their choice of milk available. Moreover, convenience stores are lacking in variety, whereas merchandising and marketing milk are badly exploited. However, studies have shown that drug stores are increasingly preferred to convenient stores by milk purchasers as mothers with families. Drug sales represent 1.6% of total milk sales and even though they are not the main distribution channel, they still add up to 100 million gallon of milk per year."

Abstract
This paper examines how the "Milk Got, Hmmm?" dairy ads featuring Yoda from Star Wars have been widely publicized in magazines, on billboards, and widely spread around the Internet. It looks at how the purpose of this ad is to encourage people to drink milk, based on the health claims made within the text and also based on the appeal of the character of Yoda. It also discusses how the health claims that it makes have been largely debated and how there may, in fact, be false statements ,since there is a great deal of scientific evidence actually pointing to milk as a cause of bone density loss.
From the Paper
"This advertisement attempts to appeal to the logical consumer by stating claims that milk will be beneficial to the drinker's health. It is only reasonable to assume that people will be attracted to a product that will give them better health and a longer life, and this is exactly the claim that the text of this ad makes. As opposed to explaining that it is a mastery of use of The Force and his dedication to Jedi studies that has prolonged his life, the Yoda in this ad states that it was in fact milk that allowed him to live for nearly a millennium and remain strong. "When younger are you, strong bones milk builds, yes. But when adults, slow rate of bone density loss, it does." seems like a very logical reason to drink milk. Unfortunately, this claim may not be backed by actual fact."

Abstract
The paper examines how increased advertising of health and energy drinks in America has reduced milk consumption and how the dairy industry have used aggressive advertising campaigns in order to increase the popularity of milk. It also looks at the consumption and production in Europe and Thailand as well as the U.S. and the differences in advertising campaigns.
From the Paper
"Europe's emotional concept features people of all ages drinking milk for good health. Marketers target men aged 18-29 with information that milk is a contemporary drink that gives a man stamina and energy. The emotional concept also targets all people over the age of 50. The angle is that retired individuals especially need the added nutritional benefits. Marketers want people to realize that it's okay to drink milk. Milk is no longer the choice drink of geeks in the lunchroom. Milk is everyone's choice drink. "The rational concept features information on protein, calcium, and vitamins. The ads tell consumers that milk is a tasty drink full of important nutrients. Consumers realize that milk supplies an important part of their nutritional requirements. Milk is something that is needed. Mothers with young children are directly targeted. They are informed that milk will help nutritionally nurture their kids and help them grow to their full potential because it contains protein, potassium and vitamins A, B, and D."

Evaluation of a Community: Nutrition Issues, 2002.
This paper is a report that evaluates a community level health promotion campaign encouraging people to switch from high-fat milk to low-fat milk.
6,718 words (approx. 26.9 pages), 49 sources, MLA, $ 153.95

Abstract
The paper is a promotion of lower fat milk as a technique for reducing the intake of saturated fats. The paper discusses the program that was called "The 1% or Less Campaign," and was developed in 1994 by the Center for Science in the Public Interest and implemented in West Virginia. The paper evaluates the program, as it was presented to and accepted by the community.
From the Paper
"Reger, Wootan, Booth-Butterfield and Smith (1998), noted that the 1% Or Less campaign differed from most community level nutrition education programs in that it encouraged a whole community to make a single dietary change. Most nutrition education focuses on the total diet or on whole food groups. Although consumers could reduce their saturated fat intake through broad dietary changes, teaching healthy eating one message at a time may was said to be a more practical approach as existing consumer research indicated that many consumers feel overwhelmed and confused by the multitude of nutrition messages to which they are exposed."

Abstract
This paper relates that lactose, an important and well-understood component of milk, provides an important source of nutrition during development, and, for individuals without lactose intolerance, milk often continues to be an important part of a healthy and varied adult diet. The author points out that lactose intolerance is a common issue for much of the world's population, especially people of Asian and non-Western European decent, but a large number of Europeans can easily digest lactose. The paper relates that, in the Western society, lactose (within milk) is used within a wide variety of milk products, such as cheeses, cottage cheese, sour cream, and yogurts; in addition, milk is used in a wide variety of other food products, including breads, pizzas, ice cream products, and even cereals.
From the Paper
"In structure, lactose is a white crystalline disaccharide that is comprised of two sugars that are bound together: glucose and galactose. Glucose and galactose are monosaccharides. Lactose has the same chemical formula as sucrose and maltose (C12H22O11). However, lactose differs from sucrose and maltose in structure. When hydrolyzed, lactose yields D-glucose and D-galactose. This hydrolysis is catalyzed by lactase within the digestive tract (Miller). Thy hydrolysis of lactose results in increased sweetness and a depression of the freezing point of milk."

Abstract
This paper uses Michael Kaufman's theoretical framework of the triad of male violence to examine the oppression of the male characters in Leslea Newman's "A Letter to Harvey Milk" and Dan Baum's "The Price of Valor". The author points out that feminism sometimes portrays man as the oppressor and woman as the victim of the patriarchy; however, both men and women are rooted in a world comprising of a complex reality. The paper relates that, within this complex reality, men also can be shown to suffer under patriarchal oppression.
From the Paper
Feminism at its most simplistic paints man as the oppressor, and woman as the victim of the patriarchy. However, both men and women are rooted in a world comprising nature, social structures, class, work, etc. - a complex reality. Within this complex reality, men can be shown to also suffer under patriarchal oppression. Here we will use Michael Kaufman's theoretical framework of the triad of male violence to examine the oppression of the male characters in Leslea Newman's "A Letter to Harvey Milk" and Dan Baum's "The Price of Valor."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the COTS or commercial off the shelf procurement. According to this paper, the COTS procurement involves the use of ready-made systems or solutions that are easily obtained and incorporated into an existing system or solution, and is most often associated with government or military operations.
Contents:
Introduction
Issues Involved with COTS
From the Paper
"COTS also often requires that long term relationship are established with contractors, which may or may not pose a threat or pressure for U.S. buyers to engage in open relationships. Careful management of COTS-based solutions is also necessary however due to the flexible nature of the systems and changing threats or operational events that are imposed by state-of-the-art solutions and rapidly changing components (AMS, 1999). U.S. buyers also must be aware of the need to interface existing systems and support processes with those of a COTS based solution (AMS, 1999). This may increase the budgetary requirements necessary to develop proper interfaces (AMS, 1999).
Fortunately many of the issues related to COTS can be managed through effective support and management processes. U.S. buyers for example must be aware of the potential for obsolescence to occur at any point in time for products selected (AMS, 1999). This knowledge may dictate planning management or the procurement process as a whole. Planning strategies may be developed to outline procedures to follow if a product does become obsolete; managers must also consider potential difficulties associated with technology obsolescence and decide what thy will do if they find they lack direct support for future products."

Abstract
This paper begins with a look at the history of the development and growth of Nestle since 1866. It then presents a SWOT analysis of the company, looking also at the external environment in which it operates. The paper looks at the company's corporate level strategy, as well as its structure and control systems.
From the Paper
"Nestle's structure is a combination of a decentralized organization and seven worldwide strategic business units (SBUs). All non-milk beverages fall into the Beverages SBU; milk products, nutrition and ice cream another; prepared dishes and cooking aids are another. Pet care and pharmaceuticals are make up two other SBUs (Nestle Group Company Profile 3). At the same time, Nestle divides itself into five major geographical zones--Zone Europe, Zone Americas, Zone Asia, Zone Asia and Zone Africa (Nestle Group Company Profile 3). Bringing these various SBUs and zones together is Nestle's indispensable "expatriate army." "

The Postharvest Processing of Fruits and Vegetables, 1994.
This paper discusses the post harvest processing of fruits and vegetables: Handling, preservation, shelf life, technology, ripeness, temperature, cleaning and canning.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 5 sources, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Tremendous diversity exists among the fruits and vegetables. As a consequence of this variety, many types of food-processing and food-packaging technologies have been developed. Most of these machines tend to be markedly different. Their ultimate purpose, however, is the same: the main objective in postharvest processing the extension of plant product shelf life.
The term "shelf life" can be defined as "the time period that a food item can be expected to maintain a predetermined level of quality under specified storage conditions". This period can be affected by numerous factors. For example, with regard to fruits and vegetables, shelf life may depend on the specific botanical variety, cultivation practices, weather, harvesting techniques, and storage facilities. "

Genetically Engineered Tomatoes, 2001.
Technical discussion of genetic transformation of tomato plant to inhibit production of ethylene and modify ripening process to create longer shelf life.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 3 sources, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The shelf life of fruits and vegetables is economically important to anyone in the farming of these goods or in the grocery business. It is also important in terms of transportation of these goods. Timing of harvest and arrangement of transportation are dependent on the rate of ripening of produce items. For this reason, genetic engineering may become an important asset in the produce industry. This paper will look at the genetic transformation of the tomato plant to inhibit the production of ethylene, a chemical known to be involved in the ripening process.
Genetic engineering has many applications, and it is beginning to play a significant role in agriculture. Introducing certain genes into plants can afford them protection against pests and against adverse climatic conditions."

Demand and Supply, 2006.
This paper illustrates the foundation of economics, the concept of demand and supply, by examining the milk production and wheat industries in United States.
1,020 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that both demand and supply represent the two ends of a transaction in the economic market thereby illustrating consumer behavior and supplier or manufacturer behavior respectively and, because of this, there is a strong connection between the two variables. The author points out that a change in price never shifts the demand curve for that particular good because the factors that influence a shift in the demand curve are determined by an increase or decrease in the consumer good, a change in the consumer preference or a change in the prices of substitute goods. The paper relates that a shift in the demand curve to the left will lower the equilibrium price and a shift to the right will increase it; however, a shift in the aggregate supply curve to the left will increase the equilibrium price and a shift to the right will lower it and, if such shifts do occur, then the consumer and supplier will probably rethink their decision making process.
From the Paper
"Milk is definitely one of those basic commodities that has an impact and drives the American economy. It is the reason for the existence of a dairy product industry offering quite an array of other related products. The World Bank has identified a set of driving forces that are considered to have an important influence on the development of the livestock sector world-wide over the next two decades. These important factors are growing demand for meat and milk, shifting consumer perspectives, changing functions of livestock, structural changes, and evolving international and national socioeconomic frameworks. Due to these points, milk, as an economic commodity can be used to estimate and to show a constant rise in demand thereby affecting the overall economy in quite a few ways."

Abstract
This paper briefly discusses how the World Health Organization is concerned about the number of bottle-fed babies over breast-fed babies. It links the advertising practices of Nestle and other formula-producing companies to this phenomenon and discusses whether there needs to be better control and legislation regarding these companies.
From the Paper
"Infant formula, saving lives or taking lives? What at first appears to be an absurd question is one that was originally posed more than thirty years ago, and is still being monitored today. As the "world's third largest food company", (Shaw 224) Nestle Corporation, is in the center of this debate. When Henry Nestle first developed his alternative to breast milk, in 1860, a life-saving alternative was given for infants who couldn't breast feed. This alternative was introduced to developing countries, where "organizations such as the International Red Cross [...] has used the formula to feed thousands of starving infants in refugee camps." (Shaw 224) So, what is the concern?"
