Processed foods are produced and consumed worldwide. They provide numerous people with a quick and satisfying means for food and drink consumption. Manufacturers produce these items in vast batches, which can lead to the occasional faulty good. However, due to the implied warranty of fitness for human consumption, consumers continue to purchase processed foods on the assumption that they are safe to consume. In the case of Marion G. Goldman v. Food Lion, Incorporated, Goldman suffered injuries and dissatisfaction as a result of her assumption that the goods were safe to consume. In addition, Goldman should receive damages for her injures because it is a food manufacturer’s duty to ensure that their products are safe.
In this case Goldman purchased a can of Food Lion brand peach halves from a Food Lion supermarket in Chesapeake, Virginia. Upon consuming the peaches, she bit down on a hard object, heard a crack, followed by pain, she spat out blood, and recovered a peach pit fragment from her mouth.

I agree with the court’s ruling, because the peach pit fragment violated the consumer’s expectation test and the ordinary purpose for which such goods are used assumption. When eating a can of peach halves, an ordinary consumer would expect that the peaches are prepared in a manner that there are only peach flesh and juice or syrup in the can. In this case the can contained an additional element that was not expected to be in a can of peach halves. Additionally, as a result of this unexpected element a consumer sustained

“The passive American consumer, sitting down to a meal of pre-prepared or fast food, confronts a platter covered with inert, anonymous substances that have been processed, dyed, breaded, sauced, gravied, ground, pulped, strained, blended, prettified, and sanitized beyond resemblance to any creature that every lived (Berry 9).” This a great example that makes that makes us learn and think about when we eat a fast food product and also what it contains. This should a reason for us to be thinkful of the food products that we consume on a daily basis, and so do our

Tyson Foods has entered millions of homes in America and is seen as a convenient, healthy form of sustenance. This company portrays itself as a family company, that provides safe food for a growing world population; however, it is in fact contaminated and filled with deceit, deception, and fraudulence. Tyson vocalizes that it has the consumer’s best interest in mind, meanwhile its sole interest is its revenue. It manufactures second-rate chicken byproducts and disguises it as a healthy choice for families. It has been discovered that Tyson distributes contaminated foods, injects its products with antibiotics, and abuses its livestock; thus, society needs to prohibit such rancid foods from entering its homes and being fed to its children, and to put an end to the corrupt company’s empirical power.

At the time I just thought the food was good. Although, now that I am aware of what I put in my body I try to look at the ingredient and the food products I consume before I consume them. The book also informed me of the deceitfulness of people in order to make a profit. A prime example in Chapter eleven is the Kraft Company. The Kraft Company state they want to decrease the amounts of salt, sugar and fat in their products. On the other hand, Kraft creates new products with an increased amount of these ingredients. Many companies state that they try to fulfill the desires of consumers. This idea is wrong. The consumers study what our body craves and uses it against us.

Companies nowadays are using different and strong methods in marketing their food products. The Companies are very competitive, and the results can affect the people. When we think about this job field, it is convincing that those producers should use cleverly ways to gain their own living. In the other side they shouldn’t use misleading ways that could harm the people. Food companies should be straightforward with every marketing method they use.

Factory farming is a system of confining chickens, pigs, and cattle under strictly controlled conditions. Slaughterhouses are places where animals are killed
