LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION Honoring Distinguished Business Leader and Visionary Donald M LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION honoring distinguished business leader and visionary Donald M. Kendall and commending him for his dedication to his profession and his community WHEREAS, In the course of the evolving development of this Empire State, when the ingredients of shared concern and responsive endeavor combine in commitment to community, there emerge among the distinguished citi- zenry of the State of New York, certain individuals who warrant special recognition; and WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to pay tribute to and congratulate Donald M. Kendall, Co-Founder and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PepsiCo Inc., upon the occasion of celebrating his 90th Birthday on March 16, 2011, an auspicious occasion which will be joyously celebrated on Monday, March 21, 2011, at the PepsiCo world headquarters in Purchase, New York; and WHEREAS, A native of Sequim, Washington, Donald M. Kendall is a gradu- ate of Western Kentucky State College; and WHEREAS, Following his distinguished service as a Naval aviator in the Second World War, he joined the Pepsi-Cola Company as a fountain syrup sales representative and advanced from sales to managing a sales crew, to managing sales for all company-operated plants; and WHEREAS, In 1951 he became Assistant National Sales Manager, and a year later was promoted to Vice President in charge of national sales; in 1956 he became Vice President in charge of marketing for the United States, with responsibility for all sales, advertising and promotion; and WHEREAS, in 1957, Donald M. Kendall became President of Pepsi-Cola's overseas operations; under his leadership Pepsi-Cola's international presence expanded dramatically and the number of countries in which Pepsi-Cola was available more than doubled and sales tripled; and WHEREAS, As he helped to grow the company internationally, he famously introduced Pepsi-Cola to the USSR, where it was the first foreign consumer product to be sold; and WHEREAS, Perhaps his most renowned experience as head of the interna- tional division was in 1959, during the height of the Cold War; at the invitation of the U.S. State Department, Donald M. Kendall organized a Pepsi booth to hand out product samples to Russians at the American National Exhibition in Moscow; upon learning that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev would visit the fair, he asked then U.S. Vice President Rich- ard Nixon to steer Premier Khrushchev to his exhibit; and WHEREAS, The following day history was made when Premier Khrushchev first drank a bottle of Pepsi produced in New York and brought over especially for the fair; then he was offered a cup of Pepsi produced in Russia from syrup brought from the U.S.; he immediately said the Russian product was superior and ordered a second cup; and as Donald M. Kendall recalls, "Predictably, he liked the local Pepsi better and performed for the press with relish, downing seven Pepsis as the flashbulbs popped"; and WHEREAS, Donald M. Kendall was named President and Chief Executive Officer of Pepsi-Cola Company in 1963; he launched a series of marketing and management innovations which accelerated the sales of Pepsi-Cola and added new products, such as Diet Pepsi-Cola and Mountain Dew, to broaden both the company's product line and its consumer base; and WHEREAS, In September 1963 at age 42, Donald M. Kendall was named President and Chief Executive Officer of the Pepsi-Cola Company; just two years into his term as CEO, he began discussions on a merger with the Frito-Lay Company; and WHEREAS, In 1965 Donald M. Kendall engineered the merger that brought Pepsi-Cola Company together with Frito-Lay to create PepsiCo, Inc.; he was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the new company; he then was elected Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 1971, a position he held until his retirement; and WHEREAS, In 1970 Donald M. Kendall relocated the company headquarters from New York City to its current home in Purchase, New York; the 112 acre site is today home to the world renowned Donald M. Kendall Sculp- ture Gardens, which, accessible to all members of the community, not just PepsiCo's employees, at no charge, attracts more than 100,000 visi- tors annually; and WHEREAS, Donald M. Kendall's dedication also extends to the arts; he set out to reflect the company's love of change and adventure in its Purchase Headquarters; the PepsiCo World Headquarters Complex itself was designed by Edward Durell Stone in 1967, a leading American architect, while the original landscape design was created by his son, Edward Durell Stone, Jr.; and WHEREAS, As PepsiCo Inc. is very much a modern company which has always admired and prized excellence, Donald M. Kendall wanted the art at the company headquarters to reflect that noble spirit; he handpicked and positioned the 45 sculptures that are set around the headquarters, each one with its own story, and later, in 1981, he hired the English landscape architect Russell Page to extend the gardens, incorporate new features and position the sculptures in harmony with the landscape; and although the complex reflects a solid foundation of modern masters, Rodin, Calder, Moore, Miro, and Ernst, Donald M. Kendall also sought to fill out the collection with the work of newer, lesser known artists, who are nonetheless innovators in their own right; and WHEREAS, Today, thanks to the efforts of Donald M. Kendall, PepsiCo Inc. is the world's second largest food and beverage business, with annual revenues of nearly $60 billion; its businesses include Frito-Lay, Quaker, Pepsi-Cola, Tropicana and Gatorade; and WHEREAS, Throughout his career, Donald M. Kendall has been extremely active in a wide variety of key cultural, economic and political organ- izations, both domestically and internationally; his major appointments include Chairman of the National Alliance of Businessmen in 1969, where he also served as Director; first US Co-Chairman of the US-USSR Trade and Economic Council from 1973 to 1977; Chairman of the Emergency Committee for American Trade from 1969 to 1976; Chairman of the Board of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States from 1981 to 1982; Chairman of the National Center for Resource Recovery, Inc. from 1970 to 1976; Chairman of the Grocery Manufacturers of America from 1969 to 1971; and Chairman of the Board of the American Ballet Theatre from 1977 to 1983; and WHEREAS, Donald M. Kendall has been recognized as one of the giants of American industry who exemplified the American tradition of business leadership; upon his retirement in 1986, he was made a laureate of the National Business Hall of Fame; and WHEREAS, In 1987, the Board of Editors of FORTUNE magazine selected Donald M. Kendall for induction into the National Business Hall of Fame, where he joined such business legends as Andrew Carnegie, Thomas Edison, Alfred Sloan and John D. Rockefeller; and WHEREAS, Not only did Donald M. Kendall build one of the world's premier consumer products companies; he also used his position in busi- ness to serve his nation, to advance the cause of international under- standing and to promote human equality and justice; in recognition of his efforts, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund honored him with the first Equal Justice Award in 1986, in recognition of his lead- ership in public affairs and social responsibility; and WHEREAS, Recognition of his leadership has extended beyond the busi- ness world; in 1989, Donald M. Kendall was the recipient of the presti- gious George F. Kennan Award for his outstanding contribution to improv- ing U.S.-Soviet relations; and WHEREAS, Donald M. Kendall is, in addition, the recipient of honorary Doctor of Law degrees from Stetson University, DeLand, Florida; Babson College, Wellesley, Massachusetts; and Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington; he also received honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees from Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, New York; Manhattanville College, Purchase, New York; the State University of New York (SUNY), Purchase and Long Island University, Brookville, New York; and WHEREAS, By demonstrating throughout his career a genuine openness of mind, a restless searching for fresh opportunity and a spaciousness of vision often all too rare in the higher reaches of corporate life, Donald M. Kendall has provided for future generations a model of enlightened, progressive and authentic patriotism blended with true citizenship of the world and a lifelong, unshakable dedication to the cause of equal justice; and WHEREAS, This beloved business visionary has enriched the lives of those who have been privileged to know him through his joyous and sincere love for others, and through the quiescent charm and wisdom which come only from a fullness of years; and WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to publicly recog- nize those who have reached such a remarkable age and who have witnessed and celebrated the innovations, cultural developments and awesome achievements of this country during the last century, while themselves contributing to the growth and excellence of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to honor Donald M. Kendall's lifetime of distinction and to congratulate him upon the occasion of celebrating his 90th Birthday; and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran- smitted to Donald M. Kendall..

  • Copycat Snacks in Schools by Cara Wilking, J.D
    The Public Health PHAI Advocacy Institute MAY 2014 Copycat Snacks in Schools by Cara Wilking, J.D. Introduction The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) authorized the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to set nutrition standards for all foods and beverages sold in schools.1 Prior to the HHFKA, the USDA only promulgated rules for items sold outside of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) that were of “minimal nutritional value,” such as soda, gum, and candy.2 Starting July 1, 2014, all foods sold outside of the NSLP, such as food from vending machines and school stores, will have to meet USDA “Smart Snacks” nutrition criteria. Not wanting to lose the in-school marketing opportunity, major food companies like PepsiCo are producing reformulated versions of popular junk foods like Cheetos® and Doritos® that meet the Smart Snacks criteria, but use the same brand names, logos and spokescharacters as are used to market traditional junk food. These copycat snacks are not widely available for purchase outside of schools and are clearly designed to co-market traditional junk food to children in school. This issue brief describes copycat snacks, how they undermine nutrition education efforts, and what can be done to stop the sale and marketing of these products in schools. Copycat Snacks Copycat snacks are a vehicle for food companies to co-market their popular unhealthy, junk food brands in schools. Copycat snacks meet USDA Smart Snacks nutrition criteria, but are marketed using brand names, product names, logos, and spokescharacters that are also used to market junk food.

  • 2018 Food Processing Ingredients Saudi Arabia
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 3/29/2018 GAIN Report Number: SA1804 Saudi Arabia Food Processing Ingredients 2018 Approved By: Alan Hallman, U.S. Embassy, Riyadh Prepared By: Hussein Mousa, U.S. Embassy, Riyadh Report Highlights: The Saudi food processing sector has been rapidly growing due to government support of food processers, rising per capita income, and major demographic and socio-economic changes. These factors have supported an increase in the number of Saudi food processing companies, from 691 firms in 2005 to 938 firms in 2016. Investment in this sector increased by approximately 11% per year from 2007 to 2016, and reached $23 billion in 2016. Attractive investment conditions have lured some multinational corporations to establish production facilities in Saudi Arabia. Most Saudi food manufacturers depend on imports to secure their needs of food ingredients and raw materials. In 2016, Saudi Arabia imported about $2.345 billion worth of food ingredients for further processing. U.S. suppliers provided about 6 percent of these food processing products. Saudi Arabia exports a significant part of its processed food production, estimated at $1.22 billion in 2016, sharp decrease compared to approximately three billion exported in 2015. SECTION I. MARKET SUMMARY The Saudi food manufacturing and processing sector has rapidly grown in the past ten years. Support from the Saudi Government includes direct subsidies for selected food production equipment, low land leasing prices, long term interest free loans, duty free imports of raw materials, and highly subsided utilities.

  • Factors Affecting Nutritional Status and Eating Behaviours of Adolescent Girls in Saudi Arabia
    Factors affecting nutritional status and eating behaviours of adolescent girls in Saudi Arabia Elham AL-Jaaly Thesis submitted for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY University College London Centre for International Health and Development Institute of Child Health UCL August 2012 Declaration I, Elham Al-Jaaly, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated. Signed: ELham Al-Jaaly August 2012 2 Abstract The objective of this study was to assess factors affecting nutritional status and eating behaviours among adolescent girls in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 1519 13 to 18-year-old girls from 18 schools. Nutritional assessment included anthropometric, haemoglobin measurements, and a questionnaire exploring a range of nutrition-related issues. Since one of the major influences on eating behaviours is food marketing and media, a descriptive analysis of TV advertisements aired on three of the most popular TV channels was carried out. In addition, analysis of the content of school meals was conducted. The overall prevalence of overweight girls is 24% of the population, obesity 13.5% and underweight 14%. The prevalence of anaemia (Hb<12 g/dl) was 29%. Some eating behaviours were found to be particularly prevalent, including snack consumption, eating outside the home, consumption of sugar-carbonated drinks, and very low consumption of vegetables and fruit. The media was regarded as one of the most important sources of health information. The analysis of the sampled advertisements (n=6,272) showed that of the entire number of paid product advertisements, (n=5150) 17.6% were for food and drink products.

India & President Indian Academic & Welfare Society. **Research Scholar,Singhania University,Raj. & Asstt. Professor Aashlar Business School Farah,Mathura U.P. ***Research Scholar,Singhania University, Jhunjhunu, Raj.,India INTRODUCTION Today it is quite relevant to Study the old and current Scenario of Branding Trends in Beverages Industry in a Comparative manner to understand the old and new branding trends.Growth of any organisation is dependent on the effectiveness of Branding trends being used for the Marketing in the organization. BACKGROUND PepsiCo, is founded by Donald M. Kendall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pepsi-Cola and Herman W. Lay, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Frito-Lay, through the merger of the two companies. Pepsi-Cola was created in the late 1890s by Caleb Bradham, a New Bern, N.C. pharmacist. Frito-Lay, Inc. was formed by the 1961 merger of the Frito Company, founded by Elmer Doolin in 1932, and the H. W. Lay Company, founded by Herman W. Lay, also in 1932. Herman Lay is chairman of the Board of Directors of the new company; Donald M. Kendall is president and chief executive officer. The new company reports sales of $510 million and has 19,000employees. BRAND The Dictionary of Business and Management defines a brand as: "a name, sign or symbol used to identify items or services of the seller(s) and to differentiate them from goods of competitors." Signs and symbols are part of what a brand is, but to us this is a very incomplete definition.

  • Which Companies Are Using Aborted Human Fetuses in Their Food?
    5/22/19, 859 PM Page 1 of 1 Advertisements Share on Facebook ! Share on Twitter " Submit an article REPORT THIS AD Search $ % PRESS & INDEPENDENT NEWS ' Editor / 15 July 2015 / Health, Science & Health, World Which Companies Are Using Aborted Human Fetuses in Their Food? A biotechnology company out of California called Senomyx specializes in the development of food flavorings using aborted embryonic cells for the production of food chemicals. Research by Senomyx into the use of “HEK- 293″ aborted human fetal cells as a flavor enhancer, was published in pubmed in 2002, after which several patents were filed by them. Additionally, this company has partnered with numerous major processed food manufacturers including Kraft, PepsiCo, and Nestle. Processed food isn’t the only hidden source of additives made using aborted human fetal tissue — many so-called “beauty products” and vaccines are also loaded with aborted baby tissue- derived additives. According to EndAllDisease.com, Neocutis “beauty” products and anti-wrinkle creams are made from aborted male baby cells collected after a 14-week gestation period. Many vaccines, including Merck & Co.’s MMR II vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, as well as ProQuad (Merck), Varivax (Merck), Pentacel (Sanofi Pasteur) and Havrix (GlaxoSmithKline), also contain derivatives of aborted human babies. Oklahoma Senator Ralph Shortey has introduced legislation in early 2012 to prohibit the normalization of widespread cannibalism, yet it still continues to this day. The only way to truly stop it is to stop supporting the companies that are making human beings eat their own dead babies. Can anybody say Soylent Green? Debi Vinnedge, of the pro-life group Children of God for Life: “ “What they don’t tell the public is that they are using HEK 293 — human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors.
