Truffles In China
This news story intrigues many. It mostly intrigues Chef’s and the foodies of the world. Truffles have always been a delicacy but with the decline of truffle production it has become an extremely rare delicacy. So much so that there are even people trying to replicate the truffle and make thousands of dollars off of it. The CBS news story covers why truffles are so expensive and also, it covers how the Chinese try to replicate these truffles and sell them to Europe and America.

I agree that France and Italy should be upset but I also disagree. The next few paragraphs will elaborate on why. It’s

    Summary Of France Goes Mad For Le Burger

    The article “France goes mad for le burger” by Anne-Sophie Moral illustrated cultural diffusion between America and France, by introducing the reader to the ever increasing popularity of American foods and restaurants in France. First of all, it is not very surprising that American food has slowly seeped it’s way into diners in France, as said in the section “Beating Record Upon Record”. The text states that: “While the French see their food culture as unique, the truth is a lot of it is based on meat, bread, salad and potatoes. All of these ingredients make up a U.S. burger meal.” This text evidence shows that it was only time before American food started to invade France, as both countries have very similar food palettes.…

    Rice Paddies In Ancient China

    For example while learning about China, I learned that they had very fertile land, but since it was mountainous they couldn’t do much, but made way with Rice paddies. Rice Paddies are flooded fields in warm areas were the rice grows best. Since Rice grows more food per acre than Wheat, according to Document B, it helps support population growth. Which helps influence the civilization. I mentioned before that China was mountainous. These mountains acted as a natural boundary against other places, but it made China very ethnocentric along with their many other natural borders. These mountains caused the people of China to live in river valleys.…

    15 China

    “Pretty girls in fine dresses and stylish bonnets filled the open carriage that came up the hill from China Street and turned down the main dirt thoroughfare, Washington Street.” This is how local author, Gordon Cotton, begins his story about the famous brothel, 15 China. If one would try to locate 1500 China Street today, they would find a three way stop; the last number on the street being 1625. Though the house was torn down in 1970, its stories still last, in Vicksburg and all over the world. “Only a few years ago a ham operator here made contact with someone in Hong Kong… The man halfway around the world immediately asked the Vicksburger, ‘Is 15 China still in business?’” If one asked a true Vicksburger today, they would be filled with stories of the famous home, as it has always been a topic of provocative conversation. Though the house is an object of fable and story, it truly did exist as a brothel. Therefore, in accordance with popular belief, 1500 China Street existed as a brothel until the mid-nineteen hundreds (Cotton 1).…

    In the Classical Period, though miles apart, both Imperial Rome and Han China had parallels and differences in methods of political control. The two civilizations both used the aspects of religion and belief systems to attain political influence over their subjects, but had differing methods to reach this goal. Standardization and cultural unity was a key factor in both civilizations regarding political control, as was expansion and growth of trade.…

    Han China

    After the civil war that followed the death of Qin Shihuangdi in 210 B.C., China was reunited under the rule of the Han dynasty, which is divided into two major periods: the Western or Former Han (206 B.C.–9 A.D.) and the Eastern or Later Han (25–220 A.D.). The boundaries established by the Qin and maintained by the Han have more or less defined the nation of China up to the present day. The Western Han capital, Chang'an in present-day Shaanxi Province—a monumental urban center laid out on a north-south axis with palaces, residential wards, and two bustling market areas—was one of the two largest cities in the ancient world (Rome was the other).…

    “Some people feel like since they are getting a good deal on their food that they don’t care about where it comes from because it is cheap and always available.” (Food Inc.) Money is a big issue for many people, and even the people with a lot of money don’t mind getting a good deal at the grocery store. The other side of this would be that some people feel that they want to spend their money on something that is not only cheap, but safe and healthy. People deserve to know where the food they consume is coming from. Until companies are willing to talk to the people and explain what is going on and how they do their job, it is going to be an argument.…

    Food Safty

    One of the main issues facing farming safety and production today is the fact that a few big plants are producing the mass majority of our food. Because our food is being produced, cleaned and handled in one place its causing nation wide poisoning and contamination of our meats and vegetables. For example, four companies produce eighty percent of Americans beef and one company produces thirty percent of our milk. (p.388) This means when an outbreak occurs it’s harder to re-call all of the produced because most stores all over the nation are selling the food. It also means that more people are going to be affected and become ill. If a local store were to sell bad spinach to five costumers in a small town its easier to control, manage, trace and…

    Nutritional Document Analysis

    I never cared about where it came from, and which company produces and distributes it. The only thing I really cared about was it affordable. Being a college student, who does not have a lot of money, this was my mindset. Now, I have been looking at my food and wonder about the origins. There is a larger interconnected global market that I am unaware of because I was only concern about the price. Granted I might not live the healthiest of lifestyles at the moment, but it is knowledge that I can take with me when I go back home for the summer. One change I would like to make in my consumption habits is to pay attention to the products that are Fair Trade Certified. Recently, I feel more compelled to purchase these products because they pay their employees fairly unlike other corporations. This assignment has shed new insight into my perspective of the global food market, and like the “What’s in my Closet?” assignment, we really do not know as much as we believe. We only know the end, which is not enough as the…

    Swot Analysis Of Cadbury Company

    Chocolate has been considered to be an affordable luxury as it has been associated with celebrations and romance as from the past. In the years 2001 and 2002, it was noted that the cocoa production in Cote d’Ivoire was associated with child slave labor and this brought in concerns to all the chocolate companies, its consumers as well as the governments (Candy, 2015). It was then that the House of Representatives in the US passed a legislation which mandated that the FDA to create some standards that permitted the companies that could prove that their chocolate that was being produced was not associated with forced labor to have labels to their chocolates stating “Slave-labor free.”…
