Between 1880 and 1920, these groups gained public interest in their own way. The liquor interests defended their industries against politicians, religious leaders, and social reformers, but ultimately failed. While current historical scholarship links the different liquor industries together, the beer industry constantly worked to distinguish itself from other alcoholic beverages.

  • ON PLANT-BASED “MEAT” by Andy Amakihe1
    BURGERS, CHOPS, & VEGETABLE CROPS: CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND THE “WAR” ON PLANT-BASED “MEAT” By Andy Amakihe1 1 J.D. Candidate 2021, Rutgers Law School 120 RUTGERS LAW RECORD ABSTRACT The Arkansas State Legislature has passed a new law called Act 501 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”), “The Arkansas Truth in Labeling Law.”2 The Act prohibits labeling any food products as “meat” or similarly descriptive words if the product is not derived from livestock or poultry.3 Some “similarly descriptive” words include, without limitation, “burger,” “sausage,” and “deli slice.”4 The Act also applies to dairy products such as milk, butter, and cheese.5 Additionally, the Act applies to vegetable products that serve as alternatives to grains and dairy, such as cauliflower rice and nut “milks.”6 Every violation of the Act is met with a $1,000 civil fine for each plant-based product packaged and labeled as meat.7 Many other states such as Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Dakota have passed substantially similar laws that affect the way food products are marketed and sold within their states.8 Act 501 was passed after heavy lobbying of the Arkansas State Legislature by the animal agriculture industry.9 After a subsequent action by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Good Food Institute, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and the Tofurky Company, the District Court granted a preliminary injunction temporarily halting the enforcement of the law.10 The plaintiffs ultimately seek a permanent injunction banning Act 501.11 The purpose of this note is to explore the constitutionality of Act 501 as it pertains to the challenges on the First and Fourteenth Amendment’s freedom of speech (specifically commercial speech), freedom from vague statutes, and violations of the Dormant Commerce Clause.

    World Nutrition Volume 5, Number 3, March 2014 World Nutrition Volume 5, Number 3, March 2014 Journal of the World Public Health Nutrition Association Published monthly at www.wphna.org Processing. Breakfast food Amazing tales of ready-to-eat breakfast cereals Melanie Warner Boulder, Colorado, US Emails: [email protected] Introduction There are products we all know or should know are bad for us, such as chips (crisps), sodas (soft drinks), hot dogs, cookies (biscuits), and a lot of fast food. Nobody has ever put these items on a healthy list, except perhaps industry people. Loaded up with sugar, salt and white flour, they offer about as much nutritional value as the packages they’re sold in. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, the obvious stuff. The reach of the processed food industry goes a lot deeper than we think, extending to products designed to look as if they’re not really processed at all. Take, for instance, chains that sell what many people hope and believe are ‘fresh’ sandwiches. But since when does fresh food have a brew of preservatives like sodium benzoate and calcium disodium EDTA, meat fillers like soy protein, and manufactured flavourings like yeast extract and hydrolysed vegetable protein? Counting up the large number of ingredients in just one sandwich can make you cross-eyed. I first became aware of the enormity of the complex field known as food science back in 2006 when I attended an industry trade show. That year IFT, which is for the Institute of Food Technologists, and is one of the food industry’s biggest gatherings, was held in New Warner M.

Chapter 1 The Western Health Reform Institute Paul U. Cameron and Lynden J. Rogers Introduction The grand opening of the Western Health Reform Institute (WHRI) in Battle Creek, Michigan, on September 5, 1866, was a gala occasion. It was only a short time after Ellen White had focussed attention on the need for such an institution during her stirring address to the 1866 General Conference Session. Despite having limited means, some $11,000 had been raised by gift or subscription loan during a fundraising campaign spearheaded by Elders John N. Loughborough in the West and John N. Andrews in the East. On September 11 the editor of the Review and Herald, Uriah Smith, reported on the successful opening, noting that, “it was less than four short months ago, for the time when this matter first began to take practical shape among our people.”1 J.

  • The Living Temple by John Harvey Kellogg and Lessons of Leadership
    Andrews University SDA Theological Seminary Department of Church History The Living Temple by John Harvey Kellogg & Lessons of Leadership from Ellen White: Two Books – Two Years Apart A Paper by Thomas John Rasmussen Seminary Scholarship Symposium, Feb 9, 2018 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY -1- THE LIVING TEMPLE BY JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG & LESSONS OF LEADERSHIP FROM ELLEN WHITE: TWO BOOKS – TWO YEARS APART Abstract In contemporary society John H. Kellogg is more known for his medical inventions, than he is for the book The Living Temple, which was published in 1903. However, within Adventism the name Kellogg denotes crisis and controversy. The thesis of this paper is that Ellen White responded to the Kellogg’s publication in three ways: personally – to John Kellogg, prophetically – to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and publicly – with the book The Ministry of Healing, which was published two years later in 1905. It is the public response that is of primary interest to this paper. Ellen White wrote many personal letters to Kellogg leading up to and following, his publication. She wrote letters of concern and warning to parents, ministers, teachers, and the leadership of the Church. In none of her letters did she hold back. It was important that members knew what the theories in Kellogg’s book represented, and why it could be so damaging to the mission of the Church. Kellogg is not mentioned in The Ministry of Healing, although his pantheistic theories are directly addressed. His book is not mentioned, but when you compare her book to his, it is evident that she is responding.

  • Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and the Religion of Biologic Living [Review] / Wilson, Brian C
    244 SEMINARY STUDIES 53 (SPRING 2015) on words not known interrupts the reading experience more substantially than moving one’s eyes quickly to the apparatus and back. Third, annotating one’s Hebrew Bible with pen or pencil allows for a more efficient ownership of the Biblical Hebrew language and the Hebrew Bible. Fourth, for Hebrew professors and language instructors the BHS Reader’s Edition allows for new ways of testing the skills of Hebrew students. Final examinations can be set up in which no dictionary or grammar is allowed. In case of too much information being given in the apparatus, information can be removed easily in the process of text-copying. In conclusion, the BHS Reader’s Edition is a must for everybody who studied Hebrew for a purpose other than spoiling costly time and mental energies. The challenges that come with this edition can be overcome after some praxis. The BHS Reader’s Edition is able to break the curse that hangs over every Hebrew course into a blessing: Learning Hebrew for the purpose of actually reading Hebrew and studying the Hebrew Bible in a more substantial way.

    CORNFLAKES, GOD, AND CIRCUMCISION: JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG AND TRANSATLANTIC HEALTH REFORM by AUSTIN ELI LOIGNON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May, 2019 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Steven G. Reinhardt, Supervising Professor Kathryne E. Beebe Robert B. Fairbanks Copyright © by Austin Eli Loignon 2019 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Cornflakes, God, and Circumcision: John Harvey Kellogg and Transatlantic Health Reform Austin Eli Loignon, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2019 Supervising Professor: Steven G. Reinhardt The health reform movements of the nineteenth and early twentieth century impacted American and European societies in profound ways. These reforms, while usually represented in a national context, existed within a transatlantic framework that facilitated a multitude of exchanges and transfers. John Harvey Kellogg—surgeon, health reformer, and inventor of cornflakes— developed a transatlantic network of health reformers, medical practitioners, and scientists to improve his own reforms and establish new ones. Through intercultural transfer Kellogg borrowed, modified, and implemented European health reform practices at his Battle Creek Sanitarium in the United States. These transfers facilitated developments in reform movements such as vegetarianism, light therapy, sex, and eugenics. While health reform movements were a product of the modern world in which science and rationality were given preference, Kellogg infused his religious, Seventh-day Adventist beliefs into the reforms he practiced. In some cases health reform movements were previously semi-religious in nature and Kellogg merely accentuated an already present narrative of religious obligation for reform. These beliefs in salvific health reform centered around Kellogg’s desire to perfect the human body physically and spiritually in an attempt to make it fit for translation into heaven.

  • Working Paper No. CPC99-01 Measuring Market Power in The
    Working Paper No. CPC99-01 Measuring Market Power in the Ready-to-Eat Cereal Industry Aviv Nevo Economics Department, University of California March 1999 Keywords: Discrete choice models, random coefficients, product differentiation, ready-to-eat cereal industry, market power, price competition Abstract: The ready-to-eat cereal industry is characterized by high concentration, high price-cost margins, large advertising-to-sales ratios, and numerous introductions of new products. Previous researchers have concluded that the ready-to-eat cereal industry is a classic example of an industry with nearly collusive pricing behavior and intense non-price competition. This paper empirically examines this conclusion. In particular, I estimate price-cost margins, but more importantly I am able empirically to separate these margins into three sources: (1) that which is due to product differentiation; (2) that which is due to multi-product firm pricing; and (3) that due to potential price collusion. The results suggest that given the demand for different brands of cereal, the first two effects explain most of the observed price-cost markups. I conclude that prices in the industry are consistent with non-collusive pricing behavior, despite the high price-cost margins. Leading firms are able to maintain a portfolio of differentiated products and influence the perceived product quality. It is these two factors that lead to high price-cost margins. __________________________ This paper is based on various chapters of my 1997 Harvard University Ph. D. dissertation. Special thanks to my advisors, Gary Chamberlain, Zvi Griliches and Michael Whinston for guidance and support. I wish to thank Ronald Cotterill, the director of the Food Marketing Policy Center in the University of Connecticut, for allowing me to use his data.
