...MAKING A CHANGE IN THE WAY WE EAT Through the years, America has grown to be one of the most obese places in the world. As people continue to eat unhealthy, the average Americans life span is being cut shorter and shorter. Thus, it is crucial we stop these bad habits and begin watching what we put into our body. It is our obligation to take better care of ourselves and others around us. By constantly eating out, we are consuming more fatty, highly processed foods. It not only affects our physical appearance, but also highers the risk of us getting diabetes, cancer, depression, heart disease, digestive issues, obesity, etc. For instance, in the documentary “Super Size Me,” It speaks of the short term effects that can happen when you eat out frequently. Although the film was taken years ago, not much has changed. In fact, many believe things have gotten worse, almost at every corner of every street, there appears to be more than one fast food restaurant. Which, makes it more convenient to lose yourself after seeing how easy it is to eat unhealthy....

...Trent Rowser Topic Essay Assignment Obesity in American Adults November 6, 2014 According to the American Diabetes Association, almost two-thirds of American adults are obese or over weight.

...revenues and profits in recent years in spite of much negative publicity and an increasingly health conscious public. This case study shows how the company has achieved these goals in a difficult trading environment. Summary McDonald’s has, to a great extent, defied recent difficult economic conditions and continued to experience strong sales and profit growth in recent years, as it has been able to attract diners with an improved and expanded product range while remaining competitive on price. McDonald’s has been the target of much criticism in recent years for serving large amounts of foods high in saturated fat, salt, sugar and calories. The 2004 documentary film Super Size Me brought this under the spotlight. The company responded to this criticism by introducing healthier menu choices, adjusting portion sizes and reducing salt and sugar content. It has also expanded its product range in an attempt to attract a new type of customer, most...

...Project Report MARKETING CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION Submitted By: Gavish Mittal (401057004) To Dr. Girish Jaiswal Thapar University January 2014 Market Segmentation Buyers in any market differ in their wants, resources, locations, buying attitudes, and buying practices. Through market segmentation, companies divide large, heterogeneous markets into smaller segments that can be reached more efficiently and effectively with products and services that match their unique needs. Segmenting Consumer Markets There is no single way to segment a market. A marketer has to try different segmentation variables and in combination, to find the best way to view the market structure. The variables that might be used in segmenting consumer markets are geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral. Geographic Segmentation Geographic Segmentation calls for dividing the market into different geographical units such as nations, regions, states, provinces, cities, or even neighborhoods. A company may decide to operate in one or a few geographical areas, or to operate in all areas but pay attention to geographical differences in needs and wants. Many companies today are localizing their products, advertising, promotion, and sales efforts to fit the needs of individual regions, cities, and even neighborhoods. On a global scale, video game companies create different versions of their games depending on the world region in which the game is sold. For example, Capcom sells its...

...operates in through a PESTEL analysis, to examine the general external business environment and the specific industry factors that may affect the business. The results of this essay can then be used as the background for a SWOT analysis to highlight the specific strengths and weaknesses of the McDonald’s business model and its potential future opportunities and threat, which should help to determine the best strategic direction for McDonald’s to take in the coming years. PESTEL Analysis A PESTEL analysis examines the external business environment facing a firm in 6 main areas; Political factor, Economic factors, Sociological factors, Technological factors, Environmental factors and Legal factors. Though a single organisation is normally unable to directly affect the external factors facing it, a conglomeration of companies can exert some pressure on these factors, particularly any political factors through the intelligent use of political lobbying. Proper understanding of these factors allows the organisation to highlight areas of business opportunity when combined with proper understanding of the business’ strengths, and also potential threats to the business when combined with a proper understanding of the firm’s weaknesses (Baines et al, 2011). Thus, for effective strategic planning, analysis of the external factors is the most important step before performing an analysis of the business’ intrinsic strengths and weaknesses through a SWOT analysis.
