Scrambled eggs were originated in Ireland. Wheat bread comes from Egypt. The chicken was originated in East Asia. The rice is originated in China and Thailand in the early B.C. years.

    Wow! That’s a huge question, since there are many types of food. I believe fresh fruits and vegetables are harvested in bulk from farms, orchards, vineyards, etc., and then go through facilities that handle the cleaning, sorting, packaging (for fresh), and canning. Milk originates at dairy farms and either gets bottled there, or shipped in bulk to facilities that process it into many forms, some of these forms winding up in other processed foods. I’m not sure if butter, cheese, yogurt and the like are done at or outside of the dairy. I know that beef and pork now usually comes from processing “farms” rather than real farms or ranches. It passes through facilities for either minimal processing to pass on fresh to markets and meat stores, or for full processing and packaging. Chicken and eggs come from facilities that are more like factories than farms. Bulk grains from farms goes through extensive processing at facilities, winding up in an endless variety of forms and products. I guess just about everything gets some type of processing through factories, plants, and other facilities before it is offered to the consumer.…

    As Americans, we are often blinded by the food industry to think that what we are putting into our bodies is to fuel our bodies, not to profit major companies. However, the whole idea of food production is to make food for the general public in the quickest, easiest way possible. When producing a mass product, things must be done efficiently and effectively, regardless of who or what it is affecting. Major businesses try to get the most bang for their buck, and it often has high stakes for those involved in the hard labor of the food industry.…

    My diet consists of a mixture of homemade or fast foods. On a typical school day, for breakfast, I drink a cup of coffee at Starbucks which accompanied by a delicious bread produced by Franz and some California strawberries. For lunch, I eat food from the school’s cafeteria; usually two slices of pizza and snacks from the vending machines. For dinner, I cook traditional meals, such as “Ndole” (a typical Cameroonian dish) which principal ingredients are: a spinach-like vegetable and prawns. “Ndole” is delicious and eating that meal reminds me of a lot of my home country. To prepare most meals, I usually get ingredients from the nearest grocery stores to my house in Bothell, Washington. Now, I am curious to analyze where the food in my diet is sourced from and what might be the implications such diet.…

    When it comes to food in America the government could care less about the safety of our food. This is because they allow food companies to pour things such as ammonia, round up, and other harmful chemicals in the foods. Cleaning products should not be in the food because many people could get sick, and some people would not even know why. Some food places sell food to consumers knowing that there are problems with their food. The consumer then gets sick, and when they try to sue the company they are not able to because of financial issues.…

    Wipro had set a goal to be among the 'Big 5' global IT players within the next five years. However, despite its tremendous business successes in the recent past, a Brand Perception Survey conducted in 2006 among prospective clients showed that awareness of Wipro was much lower than for its main Indian rival. On the other hand, between 2005-2006 its 'favorability' scores had increased dramatically, that is, those who knew about Wipro now had a far more favorable impression about the company. Thus the key challenge facing Wipro was to develop a distinct positioning to help increase awareness levels in target geographies and audiences. The case provides an opportunity to discuss brand positioning and do so in a B2B services context. It allows for a discussion of marketing communications in the B2B…
