There is a difference between Vegetarians and Vegans, which most people do not think about.

Unwary Consumers

En-Tseh Wang October 5, 2001 English Composition Brad Rogers Unwary Consumers Millions of Americans eat at various fast food restaurants every day. Many have no idea where the food came from or what was done to get it there. Eric Schlosser wrote Fast Food Nation expressing his feelings on the wrong doings of the fast food industry. As American consumers, we have the responsibility to rise up against fast food businesses. We must stop buying their products, and show that we will not stand for their ethics. We must think of the bigger picture when we buy food from restaurants such as McDonald's, because we are supporting their work ethics as well. Schlosser begins to show us what its really like to work in a fast food restaurant. He vividly shows us the frequent injuries the workers have, the tenacity of management to save money, lack of training, and the overall exploitation of the workers. He strongly feels that the business takes advantage of unskilled workers, mostly illegal immigrants, to make profit. Upon visiting the slaughterhouses and meat packing buildings, he reports his dismal findings and describes the deplorable working conditions. With the inadequate training that the workers receive, it is no surprise that there are high incidences of injury. The fast food industry thrives on the high staff turnover rate and inexperienced workers. These workers

I do a number of things other then playing football for example I do college, which doesn't really need much energy. Also professional sportsman will be under an intensive training programme over long periods of time, I wont be as I am not a professional and my diet and what I eat isn't a priority for me. High Carbohydrates will be needed in a footballers diet as it provides high glucose levels within the blood for the brain and muscles. I don't need as much energy as I won't be using it all up because throughout my day there are different intensity's that I'm working on. A

Factors that lead to changes in eating patterns.

Factors that lead to changes in eating patterns By Mark Buckingham Period 6 HFA4M For Miss Mielke As you were growing older and maturing, did you ever notice that you were changing in many ways? When you were physically changing, did you ever notice that the rapid change in growth led to buying newer clothes? When you began to emotionally change, did you ever notice that the rapid change in emotions led to a change in friends? When you were mentally changing, did you ever notice a change in your behavior? Any particular change that you go through normally causes another among yourself, whether it's physical, emotional, or mental. These types of change can relate to an extent to the adjustments in eating habits. Eating habits are never consistent due to the changes in you that have been made, which I will explore throughout this paper. Mentality is a key factor to a change in someone's eating patterns. Stress is a mental process which could be caused by one factor or by a wide range of factors. It could relate to a problem within family and friends, or it could relate to an upcoming project or test. Stress, which can be good or bad, can affect your health and your eating habits. Fran Berkoff, a columnist from Sun Media states "Your relationship with food is a complex one. When you're under stress, this relationship can change. For some, it means eating more, for some

Elecrtonics - Audio Amplifier

Problem: At the moment my computer uses a pair of small active speakers that do not produce very good sound, also when I want to plug my mp3 player into then I have to unplug them from the back of my computer first which usually consists of a lot of wire untangling and takes a while. Solution: To solve the problem I am going to build an amplifier which will take four separate inputs and be able to switch between them. It will produce good sound quality through external, passive speakers Specification for Amplifier: . It must use an op-amp amplifier 2. It must have four inputs 3. It must have a volume control 4. It must have a bass control 5. It must have a treble control 6. It must be able to switch between inputs 7. It must have stereo speaker outputs 8. It must include a power supply. 9. It must have a maximum size of 300x150x250mm 0. It must be completed by 28th March 2007. 1. It must have a mains power switch. There are various ways in which I can approach this task. I will draw three system block diagrams to show different ways in which I could build my amplifier. Solution 1:- Description:- This is a basic amplifier system. It has four different audio inputs. Two processes, the input selector will select the desired audio input to amplify. The amplifier is a single op amp and the output from this will power the speakers. Solution 2:- Description:-

Recipe - Chinese Steamed Eggs

. 1 egg to 100ml of water (or Chicken stock. The amount is 1 egg to 100ml of liquid.) 2. Pepper and Salt to taste 3. A bit of Chinese cooking wine for fragrance 4. Fried shallots, a teaspoon of sesame oil and spring onions for garnishing. The method is to simply beat items 1-3 and pass the mixture through a sieve into a dish for steaming. The sieve will remove most of the bubbles so that you get a smooth texture for the egg. After that, you can then arrange the other ingredients you want into the dish. Finally, the crucial step is in the steaming of the egg itself. Make sure that the dish is covered when steaming. This helps prevent water condensing onto the egg mix, and scarring it; ensuring a shine to the egg. Steam with a very low flame - which means that you should not hear the rapid boiling of water that you usually do when steaming other dishes. Steam until the egg is set, which can be between 15-20 minutes, depending on the amount you made and the size of your wok/steamer. You can check whether the egg is set by using a knife and poking the centre of the dish. It's done when the egg doesn't run. Steamed Eggs with Mushroom and Toufu Ingredients: 3 Eggs 200ml water 00ml Chicken stock (I use the liquid Knorr Chicken stock from the box.) tsp Hua Tiao cooking wine Pepper and salt to taste 2 dried Shitake mushroom, soaked to soften and sliced box Silken Toufu

Explain the relationship between diet and exercise

Explain the relationship between diet and exercise Nutrients are chemicals that fulfil specific functions in the body. They provide energy, help construct body tissue and supply body regulators to control metabolic functions. " Your local grocery shop is the best source for the 37 (three macronutrients, 13 vitamins, and 21 minerals) essential nutrients needed by the body on a regular basis" (Forsythe, 1990, www.calstatela.edu) Williams (1988) has identified what he labelled as the ten key nutrients that are central to human nutrition (see appendix 1). To ensure that the recommended daily allowance of macro- and micronutrients is consumed then you must choose to eat foods that have a high nutrient density or foods that are high in vitamins, minerals and fibre but are low in calories. Although the primary source of energy during exercise is derived from free fatty acids, carbohydrates (in the form of glycogen) is also needed. "Several studies, that compared high fat or low carbohydrate diets to mixed or high carbohydrate diets, demonstrated a significant performance advantage to the high carbohydrate groups" (Keith, 1989, www.calstatela.edu). For a footballer there is a lot of advice and procedures that you should follow when playing professionally. Liverpool FC provided me with 16 tips on what to do in order to prepare myself for match day (see appendix 2). In his early
