Food Industry

Both The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser explain the terrible working conditions in meat packing industries. Each have a goal they wish to tell. give details about the industries, and they both have important effects on society. The goal of both of these excerpts is to inform readers about the conditions of the meatpacking industries. Upton Sinclair had once said, ”I aimed for [the public’s] heart but hit them in their stomachs.” He had said this because he wanted to help the public stop terrible events happening in the factories but only made them feel sick from the food. Eric Schlosser shared stories about workers who were injured or had died on work duty. ‘..A co worker forgot to turn off a machine, lost two fingers, and went into shock” (177).

Schlosser, just as Sinclair, wanted to inform the public about meatpacking. Each author had to explain and add many details to support their point. Sinclair explained how humans ended up in the meat and no one cleaned it out. He described how workers used soap to get the smell of rot off the meat. Schlosser used storied from workers, such as people losing limbs or even dying while they worked. The effects The Jungle had was the creation of the Pure Food and Drug Act to stop the contamination of food. It had also helped people learn about what could and was happening to the food people ate and how little care was put into keeping the meat clean.

Fast Food Nation‘s possible effects could be quite the same. Informing people that meatpacking industries are dangerous, not only to workers but the consumers as well, “I feel fine. determined to see the whole process, the world that’s been deliberately hidden,”(170) Schlosser had explained. Many people do not know about meatpacking industry unless they have read about it before or work in the factories, so he wanted people to read what he went through when he wrote the book. Both of the excerpts are important for learning about the food people eat and about the factories people work in. They help people find information on something that should be well known because it is part of the life they are living.

I. The rapid growth of the food industry can be explained by manufacturing, grog industry and both domestic and foreign investment. Food and drink sector has an important growth potential because of its proximity to the emerging markets and with the country’s rich natural resources, young population structure and modern industry. Big International actors such as Deanne, Unlived, Kraft, Nestle are present. The main sectors in Turkish food industry are transformed fruits and vegetables, cereals product, milk product.

Food and drink sector has an important growth potential though, it has not reached its potential limits on high value-added products in internal markets yet. Pre-packaged foods, processed and ready-made frozen products, soft drinks and bottled waters are considered to have potential for development. The competitive strategy of the food and drink sector depends of the category of food. For example, firms specialized in wine or olive oil (which are typical Mediterranean products) prefers a differentiation strategy, vertical integration and alternative sales’ point.

II. Food advertisement in Turkey and sex appeal.

Food and drinks industries are the first sector in Turkey which appeal to advertisement. It is also the first sector which spent the most in advertisement. 5% of TV commercials are about food. And most of them are broadcasted during prime- time shows (between pm to pm) or during morning talk-shows. Last time, we saw that in Turkey they are using sex appeal in advertisement but in a different way. The way they using the sex appeal, is never provocative or daring, it is matching most of the time with custom and tradition.

Which means that the challenge for advertisers is to be creative regarding to sex appeal by keeping in mind the cultural pressure. When it comes to food, finding sexy advertisements is very tough.

There are many seasons to explain that : because women are first consider to be mother and wife in society’s mind, so it would be consider as selfish if we have a commercial in which a women is enjoying what she is eating. Her role is to take care of her family first before thinking of her own pleasure. Another reason is that in most of Muslim cultures, food has something sacred, holy.

So it is not very common to associate food and sexual pleasure. But it doesn’t mean that we didn’t find any commercial related to the subject of this presentation. It is a very new trend, this past few years, advertisers try the combination of food and sex appeal in Turkey. And sometimes it Food Industry In Turkey By A;lay-Zulus Panda reseal : It’s the shooting of a parody scene of Magnum’s commercial. When you think about Magnum’s commercial, it comes to your mind women who are biting ice cream in slow motion and high volume chocolates’ crackle.

All it is done to make this commercial as sexier as possible. We have a beautiful and attractive woman who is eating an ice cream slowly and in a suggestive way. Close-ups, music, voice-off create an appropriate atmosphere for sexual desire. Here, the ice cream is clearly the metaphor of male’s genital organ. The ice cream provides the pleasure where men fail to do it. The transcript of the voice-off contributes to make the ad sexually attractive. There is no nudity, no sexual embeds in this ad, and yet this ad was banned. You may be interested in PESTLEe Analysis Turkey

The reason is that the sexual referents and sexual behavior are too much obvious. This women here is having an erotic experience with the ice cream. Fees reseal: Famous Turkish beer brand. 80% of Turkish people who drink beer prefer this brand. Since 2012, Alcohol drinks selling are restricted (officially people cannot buy alcohol after pm), commercials are banned from TV and even internet. So Turkish alcohol companies such as Fees need to think about a new strategy to implement, in order to promote their products.

Fees promote its product through sport events sponsoring. But the main strategy is the strategic alliance that they made with Gabrielle in Russia. So Fees has became a brand-new actor in the Russian alcohol drinks market. So regarding to the sex appeal in advertisement, they don’t have any pressure anymore. But the advertising has nothing very daring though. They are using classical sex appeal mechanism through very common fantasy such as cheerleaders and battle of foam.

Corporations in the Philippines, various issues Ten years ago, there was an estimated 50,000 restaurants in the country. The number Fast Food Industry By Janitorial to almost 92,000, based on the 2005 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry. Fast-food chains have been a large part of this growth not only in terms of the number of stores but also in the continuous development of variety and product offerings.

Expansions and Acquisitions

Jollied remains to be the leading fast-food chain in the country, growing from over 400 stores in 2001 to over 600 stores in 2010 . It continues to expand overseas with 71 international stores in six countries, excluding its Younger King nanotechnology stores in China, which number around 200. Jolliness’s early acquisitions at the turn of the millennium included pizza chain Greenwich, Chinese fast-food chain Chocking, and baked goods company Deliverance. To capture other industry segments, it later acquired bakeshop Red Ribbon and recently, chicken barbecue chain Mans ‘nasal.

Food and Agro Business Monitor

One stamen to the windows of opportunity and growth in the industry is the rise of Mans ‘nasal, the country’s fastest growing barbecue fast food chain, which after only eight years, is already 390 stores strong as of July 2011. Despite the presence of industry giants and having been established first in the Visas, Mans ‘nasal has shown that there is enough room for new players given the right product at the right price. As in the past, Jollied sensed an opportunity and acquired a controlling share of Mans ‘nasal.

On the other hand, Jollied sold its Deliverance business unit and topped operations of its carrier-inspired food chain Among Epee stores, which will eventually be converted to its other brands. Owing to the popularity of coffee shops and the Filipinos growing penchant for drinking coffee, Jollied also entered the coffee shop business through a Korean-based restaurant brand, Café Tit-ammo. It was launched in 2010 and has already three branches offering Goleta and coffee in a business as a strategy to gain market share and offer a less expensive but quality coffee experience.

Most of the other major players in the industry have also expanded led by Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, and Shakes. Some Jollied mandolin’s stores in Metro Manila are undergoing renovation to improve store appearance/image and better serve its customers. Chicken company KEF slowed down partially due to the effects of the Asian financial crisis to the Armco Group but it has since recovered. In 2008, Armco acquired Tokyo Tokyo, the country’s leading Japanese fast food chain. Armco also owns the master franchise of Mister Donuts in the country which has over a thousand shops nationwide.

Products, Variety, and Value-addition

The major traditional types of fast food chains are still the hamburger chains, chicken souses, pizza/pasta parlors and Chinese food chains. However, other fast food chains are catching up like the donuts chains, coffee shops, barbecue houses, bakeshops and Filipino food chains. While the food offerings in fast food stores are essentially within the type for which the chain was established, the available products are already a mix of food items wherein the banner product may not be the most popular. Jolliness’s Chickenpox, for instance, may be as popular if not more popular than its Hamburger.

It also has Filipino dishes like beef tap (smoked beef),longhairs (local pork sausage), and crispy Bangui (milks). Chocking, a Chinese fast food, has also Filipino food like benevolentness, kayaking (water spinach), longhairs, beef tap and halo-halo. McDonald’s, a burger chain, also has longhairs in its menu. Roasted chicken chain Kenny Rogers, for its part, offers other food items for the health conscious like roast chicken, healthy plate, high protein meal, high fiber meal, low calorie meal, grilled chicken/sausage/fish meals, and vegetable salads.

KEF, Pizza Hut,Shakes, and Wend’s also have vegetable salads in their menu. Wend’s was first to offer a salad bar and the first fast food to enter into a memorandum of agreement with the Department of Health in support of its Healthy Lifestyle Campaign. There is also continuous new product development like Cuff’s Double Down (all-meat, no-bun sandwich), Wend’s shrimp sandwich and abstractor, Showing’s Chinese-style fried chicken, and Jolliness’s crunchy chicken burger, sweet and sour meatballs and chicken nugget crunchers.

Part of product development is seasonal offerings especially during Lent, when people try to fast and abstain from meat. Some products that come out at this time are tuna pie and fish twister. Other than the product mix and variety, fast food chains also offer affordable alternatives for the budget-conscious. The price of the budget items can range from a low of POP. O for a Burger McCoy or apple pie, POP. O for Jolliness’s beef with mushrooms and rice to a high of POP. O for Cuff’s Wow Slit Meal of I-piece chicken, rice, and regular drink.

However, with the recent business downturn in Mindanao partly due to he ABA Safely hostage crisis, customers have been stretching these payment terms to 60 days.

 Micro Environment

• 1. Industry Rivalry Mindanao market share In Mindanao, Neptune, If’s brand of bagging laming, is in tight rivalry with Alias brand. Each grabbing around 30 percent of the market share. While Fresco brand is not far, grabbing 20 percent market share.

Alias under new management Alias brand’s new company management has expressed intentions to modernize plant facilities and squeeze out costs further. Complementary to this was a more aggressive marketing and distribution tack, designed to overtake Neptune in Mindanao market. Rumor has it that the company that manufactures Alias are intending to give volume discounts and a more generous credit term to big wholesalers/dealers.

Moreover, Alias has reportedly approached If’s key wholesalers in some parts of Mindanao like Aegean, COD, etc. , and may be able to persuade some of them to shift allegiance.

• 2. Power of Suppliers IF favored by shrimp fry suppliers Because of If’s more stable requirements compared to its competitors, IF is more favored by the shrimp fry suppliers since its competitors tend to be irregular in their purchases.
• 3. Power of Buyers

SMS Bonus Plans to toll manufacture from IF With IF already toll manufacturing for Golden Hands, SMS Bonus is also planning to ask IF to be their toll manufacturer to fill up the demands of their customers. But in return for SMS Bonus’ commitment of purchasing a minimum of 600 cases per month, SMS Bonus requires IF to manufacture only for them and not to companies intending to sell in Metro Manila retail outlets. They also want the credit terms to be 60 days.

• 4.Force of Substitutes Increasing processed food manufacturing firms With a current 1,165 registered processed food manufacturing firms in the country, he processed shrimp paste is Just one product among many, and accounts for only a Aquarius food industry case study By Drew-Norris companies in the food processing industry offer a wide range of native Filipino processed foods like fruit preserves, coconut products and sauces, can easily be a substitute for shrimp paste.
• 5. Barriers to entry Intermediaries In Dave, IF has given exclusive distributorship rights to Dave Duck Enterprises.

IF also sells through sixteen different wholesalers for the other cities in Mindanao.

B. Internal Analysis I. Product

1. Secret recipe Neptune brand has a “unique” and “hard to imitate” process the shrimp fry in which the company becomes the low priced leader in the industry.
2. Venturing to processed coconut industry With a former childhood friend inviting IF owner to set up a small-scale operation producing processed coconut items, they now have an option to produce processed coconut items, since it has a ready market, and it utilizes similar equipment and packaging material as shrimp paste. T. Promotion 1. Dave Ducks in store promotion and hard selling Dave Duck Enterprises pushes the product, Neptune, with aggressive in-store remissions in a “hard selling” manner. 2. Lack of monetary support Aquarius Food Industries does not give any monetary support to its wholesalers; monetary support is used for promotions on the end consumer level. Volume discount to entice wholesalers to push the Neptune brand is also not practiced in the company. Iii. Place 1.

Supermarkets and groceries in Mindanao Mainly, IF distributes its product, Neptune, in Mindanao. Segregating its main markets into two, Dave and other cities such as General Santos/Canaan De Errol Button/Sambaing. If’s wholesalers and dealers pushes Neptune brand to permeates and groceries, some of these companies are described as “groceries of groceries”. Basically, If’s Neptune bagging laming is displayed in store shelves of these places. ‘v. Price 1 .

Low-priced Leader IF boasts of being the low-priced leader in the industry and this is because of how differently it processes the shrimp fry. Neptune retails at APP-13. 50 per bottle, the lowest in the industry along with Fresco. While others like Alias is at 10 percent higher, Barrio Fiesta is higher at APP-33 per bottle and other local brands are in the range of APP per bottle. On the other hand, imported brands like Lee Sum Eke and Tanning Malice are premium priced, costing more than APP per bottle.

The company was founded by Milton Hershey in 1894. Located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, he called his new enterprise the Hershey Chocolate Company. In 1900, the company began producing milk chocolate in bars, wafers and other shapes. Hershey’s chocolate factory uses a manufacturing process not the assembly process. In an assembly process different parts of the product are pieced together by different individuals.

At the Hershey’s factory all the ingredients are treated or refined to the absolute perfect state that is required to make the final product, all the processes are carried out by different machines which are interconnected, as one phase of manufacturing ends, the ingredient is passed on to the next phase to be treated further or mixed with other ingredients for example at the central blending operation the chocolate liquor is combined with the milk and sugar.

The manufacturing process at Hershey’s is a continuous process and not an intermittent one, even though the main ingredient which is the cocoa bean have to be removed from the pods and left in piles and heaps for the fermentation process which lasts for about a week, but the actual production process does not begin after the fermentation after which the chocolate is converted into liquid form which is combined with a coarse chocolate form after which the final product is made.

The location for the Hershey chocolate Factory has been chosen on the basis of the availability of the necessary ingredients required for the production of the item for consumption. The two most necessary ingredients are milk and cocoa bean. Pennsylvania is surrounded by acres of dairy farms which makes milk easily available in large quantities required by the Hershey’s chocolate factory.

Cocoa beans, the other necessary ingredient is imported, which arrives at the ports of New York and Philadelphia which makes it easier for the Hershey’s Chocolate factory to have large amount of cocoa beans delivered directly to the manufacturing site.

After having read part I of Michael Pollen’s book these chapters give us a view of the beginning of the step by step process of food from the farmlands to the dinner table. Instead of the question “What’s for dinner? “, it would seem more like “What’s in the dinner? “. Pollen takes us on a Journey through the fields in Iowa and concludes with a trip to analyze meal he shared with his family at a local McDonald’s.

He allows us to take a look inside of the process by which corn is used in a numbers of ways corn is used other that as a food source. By the end of part l, there is a better understanding of how corn can be used as not only a food source, but as fuel, sweetener, alcohol, as well as a chemical for explosive devices. Pollen visits a farm in Iowa and gives a very detailed view on the process by which corn is farm through the fields, processed through the grain elevator plant not far from the corn fields.

He also explains the introduction to the topic of industrial corn and its origins some hundreds of thousands of years ago. Pollen goes on to explain how farmers must increase the amount of corn that is planted in order survive money loss in the process, guaranteeing a harvest for the following year. In addition to his view of the process by which corn is harvested and processed for use other that food, Pollen pays a visit to Pokey Feeders cattle farm in Kansas where the cows are feed processed corn to help them become larger.

The fiestas of these animals is cut short because they are now being feed a food that naturally is not a part of their nature (grass). To prevent them from getting sick, the cows are being given antibiotics that are eventually passed onto the meat that is consumed by the buyer. The increased demand for the meats of these animals has led farmers to mass breed cows at an alarming rate, placing consumers at risk for the threat of disease ( E. Coli 01 57:HE). Pollen’s description of fast food was definitely a shocker.

He talks about all the synthetic food additives that put into fast food the give hem their color, texture and taste. It is scary to imagine that so many chemicals (Ex. TPTB) can be used to make something that so many people find tasty. When a McDonald meal is broken down, it seems almost unheard of that anyone would eat this separate on its own. Pollen voices his concern on how so much energy is wasted on creating these meals, the tens of thousands of corn calories being consumed that could have been used for other food purposes to feed so many hungry people. The first part of this book was definitely an eye-opener.

Pollen’s book allows us to take a second look at the way a lot of people get their food. We are given a better idea on how food is grown in its natural state, the industrial process by which food is treated with chemicals, how these chemicals may become a part of the product itself to stimulate growth, and how this chemicals may eventually find their way to our dinner plates. After reading this first part, this book can make anyone want to diversify their diet by eating more game meat, growing their own food and living off of the land. Wouldn’t that be great?

It is time to stand up against the food industry and make a change for the better of our world, and our future generations. The United States is a country where food is being mass-produced. We want it easy-easy to make, easy to find, and easy to enjoy. We’re a lazy society in love with the idea of indulgence. That is why the average person has no idea what they’re eating. They pick up the cheapest item they can find and plenty of it; even more so because of the slowing economy.

Bulk beef, pork, and chicken are some of the most commonly purchased items in the United States today. Most people think because it’s on the shelves off local supermarket, that’s its safe to eat. One of the most talked about stories in 1996 was when Opera Winfred went on television, and enlightened America with the problem with eating meat. Mad cow disease was spreading rapidly in Europe and those cows were being ground up and fed to other cows. She made it her duty to inform everyone of how dangerous this could be for anyone eating a hamburger.

The meat industry on the other hand, did not like Opera’s brilliant idea to share her findings with the world and pulled out $600,000 worth of advertisements room the Opera show. In society today the United States is doing anything they can to save a buck on food production. It’s as simple as adding hormones to speed up the weight gain of cows, cattle, and pigs, grounding up one dead cow and feeding it to another, or mass producing corn; in return, creating high fructose corn syrup to add to sugary beverages or unhealthy snacks.

The food industry has no regard to our health, Just how much they’re making in profits. This has left our society questioning the numerous negative side effects going along with the mass production of food. “The SE of six natural and artificial growth hormones in beef production poses a potential risk to human health. These six hormones include three, which are naturally occurring steroidal, Progesterone and Testosterone and three which are synthetic-?groaner, Trombone, and Enlargements” (The Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures Relating to Public Health. These hormones have been shown to disrupt the human hormone balance in the body. On January 1st 1989, the European Economic Community banned all meat containing hormones from the United States. These hormones are used to rapidly template growth of cattle, because farmers’ profits are based off how big their cattle are. The two most common hormones found in U. S. Beef are, progesterone and testosterone, otherwise known as sex hormones. The milk produced by cows are also E-coli in the Food Industry  potentially speed up puberty, making a child fertile at an earlier age.

For females this could mean producing eggs earlier, and running out earlier. So, if a woman were to wait to have a baby later in life, she may not be able to get pregnant. “A study of cows treated with enlargements acetate, one of the artificial growth hormones approved for SE in the U. S. , revealed that residues of this hormone were traceable in soil up to 195 days after being administered to the animals”(Epstein). The government has done little to protect our health in this matter.

A study in 2005 showed how powerful the meat industry has become, and their findings were remarkable, “As of 2005, four companies controlled the processing of over 80% of the country’s beef and three of these same four companies along with an additional fourth, process over 60% of the country’s pork. Additionally, the four major companies in broiler chicken processing provide over half of the country’s chicken apply. It is the same situation for turkey meat. In 1996, 79 percent of cattle slaughters an estimated 22. 6 million occurred at only 22 plants. “

The meat industry has gotten so powerful that to shut them down would be almost impossible. Besides the hormones in meat there is also dangers when it comes to meat production and packaging. The first issue when working with animals is after being slaughtered; they are cut up and shipped out, in almost all cases excrement from the animal ends up grounded up with the meat. The risk then becomes diseases, like e-coli, salmonella, and comparable. The American Federal Health Authorities estimated that food borne diseases sicken 76 million people, causes 325,000 hospitalizing, and kills 5,000 Americans every year.

After collecting ground beef samples from meat processing plants around the country in 1996, the USDA determined that almost all meat shipped out around the United States were contaminated with multiple bacteria (USDA). These levels of contamination are unacceptable and are caused by the horrible conditions where animals are raised combined with the rapid speed in which meat is processed. Twenty years ago slaughterhouses killed 175 cattle per hour, and today they can slaughter as many as 400 cattle per hour. In June of 2002, an outbreak of e-coli required Contra, a meat production industry in Colorado, to recall 354,000 pounds of beef.

Soon after, the recall was expanded to include 18. 6 million more pounds of beef (Roost). These recalls are highly dangerous, and can easily be avoided if the proper steps were taken when processing meat. Besides beef there is also a risk when consuming poultry products. Chicken farms are known for their torturous habits in the food industry. In 1995, a USDA baseline study on contamination of chickens found greater than 99 percent of broiler chicken carcasses had detectable e-coli”(Motivator). Raised in small, lightness chicken sheds many of them die from heart attacks, stress and diseases.

They’re fed antibiotics to help speed up growth. Their bodies grow so fast that their legs cannot support their enlarged bodies, breaking their little legs causing exhaustion and eventually die from starvation. Once dead, many farms leave the unwanted bodies to rot among the live chickens. Animal rights and protection, I came across a few videos showing men preparing hickey for slaughter. They grabbed numerous chickens at one time by grabbing their wings and throwing them in a cage. Another video showed a man beating diseased chickens with an iron stick and then left them to die. Ninety-nine percent of these animals spend their lives in total confinement-?from the moment they hatch until the day they are killed” (PETA). If the United States took a stand and fought for change great things could happen. More cage- free hens, grass grazing cattle, and less spread of disease could be potential outcomes. It’s not uncommon for someone to want a Juicy burger or a piece of chicken from our local restaurant. Meat in a diet is important unless you are taking supplements in your diet. It provides numerous vitamins and proteins, which the body needs.

Just remember the next time someone you love takes a bite out of that hamburger, chicken sandwich, or drinks a tall glass of milk what exactly they are ingesting. It’s time for the United States to make a change, to take a stand and protect the animals and the human body. There are numerous ways to get your protein or vitamins. The mass production of meat has gotten out of hand. We need to work together to help inform everyone about this process. Future generations will have to deal with the numerous hormones entering their bodies; making little girls more inclined to puberty at early ages, and boys worry about cancers.

The risk of numerous diseases entering our bodies and making us sick, which could potentially kill people of all ages. Dairy products are also a major problem for the children and adults in society today. When dairy hits the stomach the body breaks it down into a substance called casein, which is hard to be processed by the human stomach. When a mother gives birth she nurses the baby with her breast milk. The breast milk has some casein in it UT cows milk has 300 percent more than breast milk. Casein is a protein that makes cows have extremely large bones, which isn’t ideal for adults or even older children.

When a baby cow grows up it stops drinking its mother’s milk; when a baby grows up it also stops drinking its mother’s milk. No cow is drinking milk and no child or adult should be either. Casein is also the binder in wood glue. Society promotes dairy because they think it has good properties for the body, which in some cases it does; but the negative properties override the positives. In a Harvard review of research from 2001 showed “men with the highest dairy intake had approximately double the risk of total prostate cancer and up to a fourfold increase in the risk of fatal prostate cancer compared to low consumers”(Chain et al).

Dairy is packed with numerous hormones and drugs. After cows are stimulated with antibiotics they are kept around to produce abnormal amount of milk to supply businesses. This milk is then put through three processes to kill bacteria. The milk is heated to extremely high temperatures killing the natural enzymes that help break down the casein going into the stomach; in return making digestion even harder. Many people have chose to turn to soy products. They are being promoted on the television as well as in newspapers and by grocery stores. In reality these soy products are almost as bad as milk itself!

Soy is one of the most contaminated plants there is. When farmers spray their plants we end up digesting these pesticides. Lead to developmental abnormalities. As an animal lover, it breaks my heart to see what these voiceless creatures have to endure. Injected with hormones and fed antibiotics, broken legs, and wings. What happened to the farmers who let their cattle graze among the green grasses or the hickeys who roamed freely without being thrown around and even the pigs who laid out basking in the sun? Now it has become a war between the animals and humans.

Food is being taken for granted; the fruit and vegetables the earth produces are being forgotten. There is a simple solution, as a society we must work together to change this growing problem. It is important as a consumer, to know what exactly is going in your mouth. There are things a consumer should look at before purchasing meat products. Choose hormone-free beef at the supermarket. Foods that carry the USDA- certified organic label cannot contain any artificial hormones. When purchasing sustainable raised foods without the “organic” label, be sure to check with the farmer to ensure no additional hormones have been administered.

You are allowed to ask questions. Where is this meat from? Do you know the butcher? You can even go out of your way to find a butcher in your town. Another alternative is to lower your meat and poultry intake, fruits and vegetables should be much more prominent in a diet than meat should. There are also many ways to avoid dairy products. Hemp protein or vegetable protein is a better choice than whey protein. Instead of buying milk at the permeate there are alternatives including almond milk and coconut milk; both of which have high ratings as excellent calcium sources.

Soy is filled with harmful pesticides but it can be consumed in moderation. Dairy on the other hand is horrible for the body and shouldn’t be consumed (Hanson et al). It’s hard to believe food can be so detrimental to the health of humans but in reality not all foods were created for human consumption. It is time to make a stand for society, to better the human body and make a change. Remember, it’s not Just for your health, but your families and future generations.
