...Jonny Forsyth Senior Drinks Analyst The market has been helped by a number of levers: people are drinking less alcohol meaning that soft drinks as a whole have been gaining in ‘share of throat’; the British climate has improved since 2000 creating a greater demand for refreshing drinks; people have become less concerned about being healthy since the economic downturn; and the product is more competitively priced than all its competitors but for bottled water (which is available for free at home, so hardly a like-forlike comparison). 1 Carbonated Soft Drinks Executive Summary – UK – June 2011 The Market FIGURE 1: MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST FOR VALUE SALES OF CARBONATED SOFT DRINKS, 2006-16 7,000 6,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 2006 (£m) 4,448 Market value (£m) Best case (£m) 5,929 Mintel forecast (£m) 5,214 Worst case (£m) 4,499 Confidence intervals 95% 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 90% 70% 50% Est.

...THE RELEVANCY OF “SIN TAXES” “Sin Taxes” Alcohol, tobacco, and high caloretic foods are easy to find in our daily lives but contain hazards to the human body, not just short term hazards but also long term. The use of these products can lead to slowing blood flow, clogged arteries, low states of energy, and other life changing health issues. Products that are seen as being harmful to the human body have been commonly referred to as “sinful”. In order to regulate and lessen the long term effects due to the intake of dangerous substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and unhealthy foods the government has resorted to increased fees on these items dubbed “sin taxes”. The United States Government wants to impose new regulations and taxes on products that are considered by most “sinful”. While some measures to eliminate the consumption of high content calorie soft drinks have come under fire as of late, other products have been in the spotlight for many generations. Research has shown that the use of some products, such as tobacco and alcohol, have lifelong negative effects on the human body and bystanders alike. Tobacco use has had a progressive rise in the past few decades due to marketing and the widened use in movies and other broadcasted programs seen by many people. In turn consumers assume the use of tobacco is a “cool” thing to do and find themselves soon addicted to these products. Unfortunately users disregard the statistical facts that the short and long term...

...Fast food restaurants are everywhere in today’s society. They are found in hospitals, attached to fueling stations, in grocery stores, and inside major sports complexes (such as Great American Ball Park). With the many locations of these restaurants, the question must be raised… are fast food restaurants making people fat? That question can be answered with a resounding yes! In 1968, McDonalds was operating 1,000 restaurants (Schlosser 3); Taco Bell was just getting started and Wendy’s opened its first restaurant in 1969 (About Wendy's). According to Pearson Education’s Info Please website, 13.3% of adults were obese in the 1960s (Info Please). Today, 35.5% of people are obese (Flagel et al. 491). That’s an increase of 22.2%. In the 1970s, Americans spent 6 billion on fast food (Schlosser 3). In the year 2000 alone, Americans spent more than 110 billion (Schlosser 3). Today, there are over 50,000 fast food chains in America according to Google Maps. What is obesity and why is it a problem? Tabors Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary defines obesity as “an unhealthy accumulation of body fat” (Tabors Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary 1504). Obesity is clinically manifested (diagnosed) when the body mass index is ≥30 kg/m2 (Lewis et al. 2: 1035). Obesity is a problem because not only does it put more strain on the person during physical activity, but it also leads to decreased lung volumes from the heavy abdominal area placing pressure on the diaphragm (Potter et al. 826). ...

...How TV Affects Your Child Most kids plug into the world of television long before they enter school. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF): * two-thirds of infants and toddlers watch a screen an average of 2 hours a day * kids under age 6 watch an average of about 2 hours of screen media a day, primarily TV and videos or DVDs * kids and teens 8 to 18 years spend nearly 4 hours a day in front of a TV screen and almost 2 additional hours on the computer (outside of schoolwork) and playing video games The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under 2 years old not watch any TV and that those older than 2 watch no more than 1 to 2 hours a day of quality programming. The first 2 years of life are considered a critical time for brain development. TV and other electronic media can get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with parents and others, which encourages learning and healthy physical and social development. As kids get older, too much screen time can interfere with activities such as being physically active, reading, doing homework, playing with friends, and spending time with family. Of course, TV in moderation can be a good thing: Preschoolers can get help learning the alphabet on public television, grade schoolers can learn about wildlife on nature shows, and parents can keep up with current events on the evening news. No doubt about it — TV can be an excellent educator and entertainer. Still, too much TV can...

...parent’s social status,religion or nationality is,they let their children watch TV because TV has a big role in our lifes.Although the negative results of TV may not be visible in a short-term,TV is a real danger for our children’s lifes with it’smany negative results. There are several negative effects of TV on children. First of all, one of the negative effect of TV is that TV effects children’s physical development. Studies have shown that children who watch TV for more hours are more likely to be overweight. In fact, the study results are not surprising. Half of the commercials encourage children to eat unhealthy foods such as chips, candies especially high-calorie foods. Commercials have a big influence on children’s bad eating habits because children are unable to distinguish program content from commercials especially when a cartoon character is promoting the product. For example, in order to introduce the product ,Pingui,advertisers used a cartoon characters and made the characters talk with each other. After this commercial ,the sales amount of Pinguiis increased because they’d drawn children’s attention.Furthermore, children who watch more TV, are more likely to be overweight because they have less time to do physical activity which helps them to keep theirs psyche’s fit like exercise and playing games. To illustrate, a child prefers watching a basketball game on TV instead of playing a basketball with his friends outside.TV also leads to some problems about...

...The Process The specifically calibrated red light is going through the skin and causes the fat cell to open. It then causes the contents of the fat cell to slowly drain out into the lymphatic system and its contents are then processed through the liver. Whatever the system does not use for energy, it will then send the contents of the fat cells to the digestive system to process and eliminate through the bodily waste when you go to the bathroom. The liver is what processes alcohol, regular medications, caffeine etc. If someone has had alcohol within the last 3 days, the liver will be working on the alcohol, meds, or caffeine before it works on the contents of the fat cells trying to drain o If the liver is backed up contents will have to wait to be processed and will cause a temporary bloating effect that will normally go down with in the next 24 to 72 hours. (That’s how inches can go up) o If someone has not had alcohol, meds or caffeine or if they have a highly functioning liver, lymphatic system, and digestive system, we can visually see and measure a change as the contents of the fats cells drain into the inner lymphatic system. (That’s how inches can go down) Someone will not actually “feel the difference” in density until they have actually eliminated (by going to the bathroom) what is draining out the fat cells. That is why they do not feel different after getting off of the table (they need to eliminate) Now that the process has been...

...Markel Stavro Seema Kurup English 101 W01 October 8, 2014 Advertising towards children should be banned A child has a vulnerable mind. He is attempting to understand how the world works, and constantly absorbing all kinds of impressions by scanning the environment he lives in. Television advertisements are very stimulating to adults, let alone to a child that lacks the knowledge of knowing whether an advertisement message is good or bad for his wellbeing. I believe that there should be a restriction on television advertisements aimed at children because they have immature minds and are easily influenced. Nowadays, children spend most of their time in front of TV screens and as a consequence, allowing TV to manipulate their minds to a great extent. It alters their way of thinking. Children’s mind is not mature enough to differentiate what is right and wrong. For that reason, they majorly rely on the feedback they receive from their parents and school. They are told in school or by their parents that something is not good for their health or dangerous but on TV there are advertisements going on that say those acts or things are completely fine and they should be followed. Eventually, kids will develop a bad mindset of how happiness is achieved. They will grow up with the delusion that they will get fulfillment from objects, however, the reality is that materialistic products will only briefly satisfy them. This leads...

...I received from the MyPyramid Tracker, and how I intend to implement a healthy eating plan into my everyday life. After document my eating habits for the past five days I have noticed a huge difference in my daily eating habits. I am not a stable eater; therefore my numbers fluctuate making my intake either increase or decrease at any given time. I am not a breakfast person, and only eat twice a day. I very rarely eat more than one full meal a day, which is not a healthy choice. Due to my sporadic eating habits it is quite difficult to pinpoint my problem areas, because what may be a problem area today may not be a problem area tomorrow. For instance on March 14, 2008, my calorie intake (kcals) was 2675 which exceeded the recommended or acceptable range of 1963. Now, on March 16, 2008, my calorie intake (kcals) was 1087 which was below the recommended or acceptable range of 1963. My vitamin intake on March 16 exceeded the recommended or acceptable ranges given to me by MyPyramid Tracker. This number is consistent with the food intake for this day. My grain intake was for both days were 5.5 oz. and 5.8 oz, the recommended is 6 oz. I did realize that my grain intake was good which means I seem to be doing well with the grains. I do notice that my vegetable intake falls well below the recommended amount of 2.5 (cup or equivalent). My vegetable intake for both days was .8 and 1.1 (cup or equivalent). In evaluating my intake for these days I do note that I need to add vegetables...
