Campbell Soup, Co. Camden, N.J. - When R. David C. Macnair, Campbell Soup Co.‘s chief technical ofticer, summoned doctors and nutrinists for a preview of the company’s promismg new product, he wasn’t prepared for the gasps as he unveiled a helping of mashed potatoes. Unexpectedly, they were glowing bright green The fluorescent spuds might have been a harbinger for Campbell back in 1992, as the soup company pursued its most ambitious and secretive product in a century: a regimen of nutrient-fortified meals promising therapeutic benefits and called Intelligent Quisine. IQ would go beyond the increasingly popular low-fat products of the time, and Campbell backed its therapeutic claims with clinical trials at eight universities. Several medical…

I will begin by stating that it is unethical how food overlords have transformed old-fashioned farming into factory assembly lines of production. I find that the following actions are immoral because large food manufacturers threaten small farmers into producing vegetables/animals a certain way in order to “stay in business”. Consequently, farmers give up their right of free will; to speak freely, farm freely and treat their animals with integrity. Not only is this unprincipled issue towards farmers and animals but, primarily workers. Since most of the workers at these slaughterhouses are low-income, desperate, and majority illegal they have no choice but to be a slave of work. I believe this kind of behavior is unethical because these workers are forced to work under unsanitary conditions: exposure to pesticides, poison and diseases. As a result from these hazardous working conditions some farmers suffer from growing an immunity to antibiotics and is unable to take antibiotics as medication…
