...this does not stop them from offering any and all supplements online at www.gnc.com and gives the company a much wider and international presence in the market. Overseas and locally herbal supplements are very popular, however is undoubtedly obvious that the main target market are those looking to “live well” (the company’s motto)( "GNC: Vitamins, Supplements, Minerals, Herbs, Sports Nutrition, Diet & Energy and more - We're committed to exceeding your expectations."). The target market of active young adults is a perfect market for this firm seeing as most products are expensive and require a resupply every month, and since these products supplement a lifestyle, most of GNC’s customers see these expensive products as necessities and not luxury goods. The nutrition industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and in 2010 generated just shy of $30billion. That same year, $1.8 billion of that pot went into GNC’s pockets. (CITE) GNC holds only about 6% of the industry but has a fairly steady growth rate and expects to control roughly 10-12% within the next few years.( "GNC Prospectus Summary.") This company is obviously gunning to be an undisputed industry giant, but to do so GNC has to focus on the customer relationship it builds with each customer, especially if they are truly trying to sell a lifestyle change. GNC helps persuade new consumers into spending more and faithful consumers to return by pushing their “Gold Card Program”. This is program that...

...Summary Fiber: The Diet Workhorse Fiber: The Diet Workhorse published by Diana Rodriguez states that fiber is a carbohydrate that has many health benefits associated with it. Beyond being a diet aid fiber also helps in areas such as improving digestion and maintaining control of blood sugar levels. In most insistences fiber is found in healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables. The best way to consume fiber daily is from foods in your diet, such as whole-grain breads and pastas, rather than supplements. Even though fiber is great, it’s important to not randomly and rapidly begin to intake it. The best approach would be a gradual intake routine. Along with being one of the healthiest things a person can eat, fiber is also a simple way to stay fit and feel full. Critique Diana Rodriguez’s article was very an informative piece, stating many beneficial points about fiber. After reading this article I found that it was quite interesting and stated some great sound facts on fiber and its importance in nutrition. Fiber doesn’t come with any risk unless a person takes too much of it, then issues may occur. Other than that fiber poses no risk to the body, it is a very beneficial component. It’s been named one of the healthiest aids in maintaining a healthy diet. The information in this piece is found to be reliable and can definitely stand any test of time. There are various works and research studies that back up all of the information given inside the article. In “Fiber: The...

...People often neglect the importance of eating nutritious food. Additional stress, constricted time, and a restricted budget are constantly distorting our decision-making process, resulting in the consumption of unhealthy food choices. It is crucial to choose foods that benefit us both physicially and mentally. In order to effectively assess my nutritional habits and choices, I have recorded what I ate in a food journal for five days, which encompasses two weekends and three weekdays. For every meal, I recorded the five contextual factors (social aspect, health, economics, ecological, and pleasure) that influenced my choices to assist me with intepreting my eating routine. When analyzing my food diary, I observed that the social aspects in...

...was in shock about the untouched photographs of the model saying, “Look! She has stretch marks!” You could hear it in her voice how surprised she was as she showed her daughter. Girls who shop with their mothers become influenced by the images around them; a survey of girls’ ages 9 to 10, shockingly resulted in 40% of those young girls begin to lose weight. It is very damaging that the media has critical effects toward a women’s self-esteem, which may trail from adolescent age to middle age. Tall, thin, curvy and leggy with big breasts, flowing hair and toned bodies would be how you would describe a perfect ideal body, however that is not always the case. Over the past few centuries, Media has increasingly lead young girls into internal conflicts upon their image. From the latest TV shows, magazines and now the use of social media; Female celebrities exemplify this perfect ideal image. Adolescents visualize these female celebrities as their role models and begin comparing their own body image to theirs, forming discrepancy of unrealistic body shape. Bell states, Negative body image may be defined as the psychologically salient discrepancy between a person’s perceived body and their ideal body (479). This definition is the truth in what many girls experience when comparing their body shape to female role models. The photographs of models raise attention of unrealistic beauty being celebrated by the media, these models have airbrushed skin or effortless hair. However, we tend...

...Development Many issues arise when discussing Life-Span Development. One issue that I take a personal interest to is Anorexia Nervosa. Anorexia Nervosa also known as Anorexia is an issue that many people are affected by at some point in their lives. Many people associate this disease with women however; anorexia also affects males as well. While anorexia tends to affect more women than men it appears approximately 10% of individuals diagnosed that are men (Wikipedia, n.d). Anorexia can lead to death if an intervention is not put in place. I tend to take a personal interest in anorexia I was personally affected by anorexia growing up. When growing up I watched my mother as she attempted crazy diets to make sure she was staying thin. I was also put on diet pills and many diets as a child. I even had a doctor who told my parents that I was just going to be heavy my entire life and there was nothing they could do. Between being told I was going to be heavy and being teased about my weight growing up by my parents, brother and cousins this lead me to take drastic measures to lose weight. I stopped eating and if I did eat it consisted of eating gummy bears. Eventually I became so weak and sick that my family had to have an intervention. Eventually I became better until I left and went to college and it started all over again. I had to move back in with my parents to overcome not eating once again. Now I am healthily but this is something I will face for the rest of my...

...prominence equal to those with compelling scientific evidence in the decades-long battle of ‘conclusive evidence’ between the Meat and the Veg camp, seems to have surfaced again in the debate. On one hand, there is always a moral choice camp for whom vegetarianism and veganism are choices of non-violence towards animals. PETA is the biggest advocate for moral vegetarianism and much alike other followers of this principle, is not too much concerned with the ultimate healthiness of the food choice, as long as it does not involve killings. “Soy sausages and “Fib Ribs to Tofurky jerky and mock lobster” that PETA is citing as its meat alternatives, do not sound too ingredient-friendly. On the other hand, people choosing vegetarian or meat diet for its health-related advantages are faced with dire straits of scientific burden of proof because health is a long-term domain of high science. ‘Compelling scientific evidence’ appears to be a strong word sequence with almost magical powers, practically an idiom, but, of course, it has to be handled carefully. In many examples of bad or ‘yellow’ journalism, the phrase “British [American, sometimes on gets Chinese for exoticism] scientists have discovered” often validates, or at least serves as modality qualifier for the stories with unchecked or altogether invented facts.’ Trust of popular reader in omnipotent Science is of course a wonderful legacy of the European Enlightenment – the Scotts of the 17th and the French of the 18th centuries...

...INTRODUCTION There is little doubt that no two people study the same way, and it is a near certainty that what works for one person may not work for another. However, there are some general techniques that seem to produce good results. So I decided to concentrate on working for this research because it’s very important for the readers to read this so that they have to step up in learning styles. My purpose of doing this research is to develop myself and to serve this thing as stepping stone to make a thesis and in consideration in making a book. Now I am making this just to show you how the proper process of learning is. The purpose of this research is to provide us significant ideas about real learning styles, study skills and thinking skills in analyzing some neither questions nor problems that we don’t know and to improve and enhance our memory in studying some lessons in a book. It also improves us to organize our studies, express our ideas clearly and effectively and how to communicate with others clearly and fluently.

McDonald’s can leverage the prime position it occupies in the $236 billion fast food industry in the US to strategically position itself to compete for this market through innovation and creativity.

Is there a trend that all of the lines follow (e.g. an overall increase)? * You don't need to give numbers in your summary paragraph. Numbers are specific details. Just mention general things like 'overall change', 'highest' and 'lowest', without giving specific figures. * Never describe each line separately.
