Ordinary Morality

AbstractFood and beverage firms are frequently criticised for their impact on the spread of non-communicable diseases like obesity and diabetes type 2. In this article we explore under what conditions the sales and marketing of unhealthy food and beverage products is irresponsible. Starting from the notion of ordinary morality we argue that firms have a duty to respect people’s autonomy and adhere to the principle of non-maleficence in both market and non-market environments. We show how these considerations are relevant when thinking about immoral behaviour in the food and beverage industry, and identify under what conditions sales and marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages to adults and children is wrong. Based on this analysis we argue that firms should take into account: whether consumers are able to identify manipulative marketing, the degree of manipulation, as well as the negative impact a product has on health. We hold that for the food industry to act responsible it should re-evaluate the marketing of unhealthy products to adults and refrain from marketing to children. We conclude this study by making several recommendations on how the food industry should interact with consumers and highlight what changes need to be made in corporate practice.

Diabetes And Obesity

There is an urgent need for strategic approaches to address the high prevalence of obesity and diabetes in New Zealand. Such approaches rely strongly on input from multiple actors in the diabetes and obesity policy space. We conducted a social network analysis to identify influential actors involved with shaping public opinion and/or policy regarding obesity and diabetes in New Zealand. Our analysis revealed a diverse network of 272 individuals deemed influential by their peers. These individuals represented nine professional categories, particularly academics (34%), health service providers (22%), and government representatives (17%). The network included a total of 17 identified decision-makers. Relative capacity of professional categories to access these decision-makers was highest for representatives of the food and beverage industry (25%), compared with nongovernment organisations (9%) or academics (7%). We identified six distinct brokers, in academic (n = 4), government (n = 1), and nongovernmental (n = 1) positions, who could play a key role in improving communication and networking activities among all interest groups. Such actions should ultimately establish effective networks to foster evidence-based policy development to prevent and reduce the burden of diabetes and obesity.

The Impact

In this paper the performance of the food and beverage industry in six regions of Canada between 1961 and 1984 is examined. The impact of spatial variations in commodity prices and techniques of production on the rate of profit are separated. Significant regional disparities in both production and market performance exist within the food sector and lend little support to the industry-mix thesis. Price variations are the principal cause of regional differences in manufacturing profitability. The rate of profit in the food industry declined in all regions, though at a slower rate than in manufacturing as a whole.

<p>A survey of 102 small to medium sized food processors and manufactures in DKI, West Jawa and Banten province, Indonesia  has been conducted for to know the quality assurance (QA) program. The survey was carried out with method to identify and to distribute a questionnaire and also to interview to small and medium scale food industry respondents selected that develope the QA program. The results of the study reveals that the main reasons for implementing one or more quality assurance (QA) programs in the food business were satisfy/meet customers requirements, to seek the highest standard of quality and food safety, provide cotinous quality control and maintenance, reduce legal liability, improve the business structure, facilitatenew market entry and/or to expand market size and sales.  Conversely, the main reasons for not implementing one or more QA programs were :  the cost of QA implementation and maintenance of QA programs to high, there was no need or no legal requirement to implement QA, the businees was too small.  There was insufficient time, a lack of information or lack of resources. The failure to implement QA systems has the potential to exclude small and medium sized food processors and manufactures from many domestic and international markets.</p>

The purpose of this study was to obtain evidence on whether profitability has a negative impact on the capital structure. This study used secondary data from company financial statements of Consumer Goods Industry sector, more specifically Food and Beverage sub-sector obtained from the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI). The sample used was 14 companies of the food and beverage industry. The analysis technique used was a simple linear regression. The results showed that there was a negative effect on the profitability of the capital structure, which means that food and beverage companies have formed a theory of Pecking Order in which internal financing has used retained earnings.

The current health pandemic and crisis has added a mountain of challenges across the food and beverage industry, as consumer buying patterns are changing and both production of goods and other business operations have been disrupted. Human touch should be minimized to reduce such kind of infections. So automation of food industry should be increased. The food industry has traditionally lagged behind other industries in adopting new technology, and plant automation is no exception. However, rapid advances in computer technology and heightened expectations of consumers and regulatory agencies for improved food quality and safety have forced the food industry to consider automation of most manufacturing processes. Though the food industry presents many unique challenges to complete automation, the industry has been successful in putting many automatic processes into place. Sensors and controllers are electronic devices and are the main backbone for the automation of food industry. In this paper some important electronic sensors and biosensors used for food automation are described.

Public Health Challenge

Malnutrition, both undernutrition and obesity, with its links to non-communicable diseases, is probably today’s most important public health challenge. Two reports published this year in Lancet, the first being the EAT-Lancet Commission Report and the second being the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Diet Collaborators Report, lay the blame for the increasing burden of NCDs on sub-optimal and unhealthy diets. This commentary focuses on the latter report. That report holds excess intake of sodium as the biggest risk factor, underplaying the role of sugar, trans fats and processed foods. The report is also silent on the part played by the food industry, especially their marketing practices. In this essay, we highlight the lack of clarity in the GBD report and question its conclusions.
