...GOT MILK? IT’S GOOD FOR YOU UNLESS IT’S CONTAMINATED CASE STUDY/RESEARCH. Question 1: Explain why the supply chain can dramatically impact a company's base performance ANS: Supply chain management involves the management of information flows between and among stages in a supply chain to maximize total supply chain effectiveness and profitability. The dozens of steps are required to achieve and carry out each of the above components. SCM software can enable an organization to generate efficiencies within these steps by automating and improving the information flows throughout and among the different supply chain components. If one member of the supply chain makes a reckless decision it can impact the entire supply chain. This is what happened with the china milk contamination and all of the players upstream and downstream in the supply chain from end consumer to the dairy farmers were impacted by one participants reckless decision. Question 2: list all the products that could possibly be affected by a problem in the U.S. Milk supply chain ANS: Products that could possibly be affected by a problem in the U.S. Milk supply chain are: -Milk -Cheese -Butter -Yogurt -Cottage cheese -Boxed Cereals -Cereal Bars -Sandwich Breads -Vegetarian Meat Products -If there were disruptions in the U.S. Milk supply the price of meat could also fall if dairy farmers were forced to slaughter the cattle for meat instead of milking them.

...selections for mom and baby. Once a child is born, there has been concern around breast-feeding or formula feeding. An examination with pros and cons will be identified. In conclusion, examples for the readers on obtaining more information concerning nutrition will be provided. All examples will include major providers of nutritional information. Nutritional needs for development Nutritional needs for growing babies and fetuses are extremely important. Folic acid is on the top of the nutritional list, this nutrient prevents spina bifida complications during the beginning stages. The mother needs this during pregnancy to prevent anemia, which occurs often with mothers. There is an array of foods that provide folic acid; lentils, dried peas and nuts, greens and asparagus, and citrus fruit and juice. The American Pregnancy Association stated that folic acid makes the extra blood your body requires during pregnancy, (2016). Health concerns with poor nutrition during gestation period During the gestation period a women do not have to focus on a specific diet, but should maintain a healthy diet to gain the nutrients needed for the period. Some foods that will provide starch for the mother and baby are bread or rice. Mothers also need to incorporate fruits and vegetables in their diet. The proteins needed during the gestation period can come from meat or eggs; this will help the fetus grow. If the nutritional needs...

...These things are can be but are not limited to folate and folic acid, vitamin D, protein, and Iron. A few ways you can obtain these are through peanut butter, milk, eggs, poultry, meat, and cereal. There are things that could happen to your child if you do not watch what you eat as for as disease and health concerns in general. A few of those concerns could be abnormal brain development, higher risk of diabetes, obesity, heart problems and possible lower IQ. There are always things that can be eaten that are good for you and things that are bad for you. You always want to stay toward the good side of food but if for some reason you were to have to eat bad food you can eat in small quantities. Some of the foods you can eat that are good for you are carrots, eggs, brown rice, and chicken. Some things that you should not eat on a daily basis are overly sweet foods, sushi, or undercooked or raw meats. When I ask people how they prefer to feed their baby, if it is with breast milk or if it is with formula. I also looked up the pros and cons of each to see when I have a baby what I would prefer to do. When looking at breastfeeding the pros to it is that it is always available, the nutrients are perfectly sized for the baby, it helps against SIDS and it can help decrease the risk a baby can have to obesity. Some of the cons though to breastfeeding is if you are doing something and your baby is hungry you have to drop everything and feed, if you are working while breastfeeding you...

...Nutritional Needs Ad May 4, 2015 Nutritional Needs Ad During pregnancy eating a healthy and well-balanced diet is essential to the growth of your fetus. Gaining too little weight can produce an under-nourished infant. While, over-nutrition also poses a risk to both mother and child. Nutritional Needs for a Developing Embryo The process of prenatal development occurs in three stages starting with the germinal stage that is the first two weeks after conception. The embryonic stage is the period of the third week through the eighth week. And the ninth week until birth is the fetal stage. During the period of gestation that is the time between conception and fetal development in the womb. The embryo gets nourished from breaking down the lining walls of the uterus. When this source is no longer available nourishment comes from the mother’s placenta that will feed the baby from five weeks onwards to birth ("Stages of Prenatal Development", 2015). Health Concerns Associated with Poor Nutrition When health problems occur, it can involve both mother and baby. Some women have health issues before pregnancy starts, while others develop issues during the period of gestation. Either way it leads to complications. Consulting with your health care provider before pregnancy to discuss ways of managing these issues, and treating the problem will keep it under control ("Reproductive Health", 2014). Problems that arise from pregnancy can be from mild to severe such as anemia that...

...environmental solution for becoming a vegetarian. There are several different types of vegetarians. Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian: does not eat meat, fish or fowl; eats dairy and egg products. Ovo-Vegetarians: does not eat meat, fish, fowl, or dairy products; eats egg products. Lacto-Vegetarian: does not eat meat, fish, fowl, or eggs; Eat dairy products. Vegan: does not eat any animal products including meat, fish, fowl, eggs, dairy, honey, etc.; most vegans do not use any animal products such as silk, leather, wool, etc. as well. By eliminating meats from your diet you can take a crucial step towards a long life of health and happiness. “This is because a healthy vegetarian diet is typically low in fat and high in fiber. However a vegetarian diet can be high in fats that include an excessive amount of fatty snacks, fried foods, whole milk, dairy products, and eggs. Therefore a vegetarian diet like any other diet must be well planned in order to prevent certain diseases” (Brown Edu). Some of the leading killers in America today, include heart disease, cancer, obesity, and strokes, and they are directly linked to meat-based diets. Heart disease is the number one killer in America, which is caused by a buildup of cholesterol and saturated fat from animal products in the arteries. PETA states that the average began cholesterol level is 133 (compared to 210 for meat eaters); there is no documented cases of heart attacks in individuals with cholesterol under 150. There are other health benefits...

...A diet that excludes all animal products have some nutritional drawbacks. Key nutrients like calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B-12 and folate are found in meat are dairy. Key nutrients that a vegan diet can lack. Inadequate consumption of these nutrients can result in problems like loss of bone and muscle mass. Vitamin B-12 helps run a smooth central nervous system and optimizes functions. Consequently, a reduced or even non-existent level of vitamin B-12 may cause a person to feel weak, fatigue, constipation, and lack of appetite. Fortunately there are alternative sources of B1-2 and other important nutrients. Vitamin B-12 is present in fortified foods, including cereals and plant milk, in tofu and in nutritional yeast. In the same way, protein can be found in pulses and in other alternative forms. Pulses such as dried peas, kidney beans, fava beans, black beans and adzuki beans contain all the essential amino acids we require. While meat and eggs are complete proteins, and beans and nuts aren't, humans don’t need every essential amino acid in every bite of food in every meal. Dietitians believe we only need a sufficient amount of each amino acid every...

...Now imagine living back in the days of the “Wild West”. Being part of a cattle drive and moving the cattle from the East coast and “Going West.” The cook or the “Boss man” of the cattle drive was the “man who owned the cattle they were herding -- but everyone also knew the cook was the man even the boss deferred to most often. The outfit's chuck wagon was a rough equivalent of a traveling general store, and the cook was not only the chief clerk of that store, he was usually the closest thing the cowboys had to a doctor, surgeon, dentist, tailor, and fussy maiden aunt.”(Old West, 2012) You being the “Boss man” have to feed the entire crew and making sure that you have enough to feed all. Beans will suffice but at some point you will need meat to feed the hungry crew. As the Boss man the cattle that are being herd across the country are yours, so you get the pick of the herd to use a food, clothing and/or shelter. You and another crew member take the one cow aside, so as to not spook the others, and kill it. You take the hide of the cow, preserve it so you can use...

...involved is very intriguing but does the human race really have a right to create and destroy beings as we see fit? Researchers feel that cloning could act almost as the cure that people are hoping for however, I feel that science is starting to over-step their bounds. It is immoral to create and then destroy an embryo just to save someone who is ill or injured. I think that what happened to the ill person happened for a reason. Maybe it is their time to die and science is yet again going too far and preventing nature from taking its course. We wouldn’t kill a newborn child just to harvest it’s organs for an ill patient. What makes cloning any different? The author stays pretty objective throughout the article and states both the pros and the cons of the matter. The author goes on to list the advantages...

...Healthy Eating Plan Comparison A person’s eating habits are an essential part everyday life. To help maintain one’s health would require a person to eat healthy with the correct nutritionally rich foods; this would require changes in some of our current eating habits. From week one I have made changes some minute others larger, hence changes have come about. As previously stated in week one, when I first started this class, I was clueless to what a healthy diet consisted of or how much was to be consumed. For more than 50 years of my life, I was always taught a starch, meat, and vegetable and this is what a healthy diet consisted of, never a mention of portion sizes. Here it is now almost 2012, the way a healthy nutritional diet is looked upon now is totally dissimilar from the time during the 50s; in turn, the way I raised my children to eat was basically with the same information. Al though, I see food and nutrition in an entirely different perspective today. Up until the point I was diagnosed with having diabetes I had always eaten whatever crossed my mind at that moment not realizing the effects of eating like this. Since I got older, many pounds have been gained as well as gaining many health issues with the weight. I have been trying since the beginning of this class to eat healthier while trying to be more physically active, although due to my health issues I am unable to exercise the way I want to. Even with my health issues the amount of movements...

...and negative opinions surrounding beef that range from the process of raising cattle to the final stage of consumption. An area of controversy revolves around the pros and cons of corn-fed verses grass-fed cattle. It appears grain-based (corn or soy) diets cause numerous health problems for cattle, creating unhealthy cattle and unhealthy meat. Two areas of concern are the nutrition and health aspects of grain-fed beef and the risk of E. coli. It is believed by many that pasture-based cattle contribute to healthy eating. Using our grasslands, which is a natural process, creates a foundation for raising grass-fed cattle (Clancy & Pollan, 2006). An animal’s diet can profoundly influence the nutrient content of its products. In a comparison, beef from grain-fed cattle only contain 15 to 50 percent as much omega-3s and are higher in calories and fat content, specifically saturated fat. As herbivores, cows are intended to graze. Omega-3s are produced from eating grass or leaves of plants which contain 20 times more vitamin E than corn or soy (Pollan, 2006 and Robinson, n.d., Eatwild). Cattle that are fed grain and confined to feedlots are prone to disease. They develop bloat, diarrhea, ulcers, liver disease, and weakened immune systems. According to a study (Greener Pastures: How Grass-fed Beef and Milk Contribute to Healthy Eating, 2006), an average amount of heart-healthy EPA/DHA in a serving of grass-fed steak is about 35 mg, while steak from non-pastured cattle...

Animals have been tested on for many years to find cures for humankind, but there are better and more humane ways of finding these cures, and these tests cause nothing but misery for the animals. Even so, there are a number of reasons that animal testing is a terrible idea. One of the main wrongs of animal testing is that it is inhumane. What it means is human beings killing other beings.

...Some say organic foods are supposed to be healthier, and some say it really does not make a difference. Organic foods are defined as any food that is cultivated without using synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and hormones. Animals that produce organic goods do not take antibiotics or growth hormones. The U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the national organic program. The word "organic" reflect how the farmers grew and processed products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil, water conservation and reduce pollution. Conventional food can be defined as food that is produced by farmers who produce foods with different types of chemical fertilizer to make the plants grow faster. Giving the animals antibiotics and other medications help prevent disease. When choosing between conventional and organic produce, one should define organic; the advantages as well as the disadvantages to making an informed decision. Organic produce and organic ingredients are grown without pesticides and growth hormones. Animals that produce the organic product are fed organic feed and have to ability to graze on free range. Organic animals do not take antibiotics or anything to speed up their growth. Unlike conventional foods, organic foods are grown naturally. No pesticides were used on these plants to control insects. Using pesticides can cause death to birds and other animals. Organic farmers do not use synthetic...
