Understanding Consumers' Convenience Orientation. An
sustainability Article Understanding Consumers’ Convenience Orientation. An Exploratory Study of Fresh-Cut Fruit in Italy Riccardo Testa , Giorgio Schifani and Giuseppina Migliore * Department of Agricultural, Food and Forest Sciences, University of Palermo, Viale delle Scienze, 90128 Palermo, Italy; [email protected] (R.T.); [email protected] (G.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-091-23896618 Abstract: In Western society, the fresh-cut fruit market is experiencing significant growth, especially in Italy, where, in 2019, the fresh-cut fruit sales volume increased by 35% compared with the previous year. This study aims to understand Italian consumers’ demand for fresh-cut fruits and to explore whether this trend is also affected by the prevalence of healthy lifestyles. Health orientation seems, in fact, to be a growing trend in the food sector. Research has recognized that consumers’ orientation towards products that are ready to be consumed is not only related to saving time. Sociodemographic factors and psychometric variables, including values and lifestyles, play important roles in under- standing consumer demand for convenience products. For this purpose, the food-related lifestyles (FRLs) tool was used to profile consumers. The FRLs tool is a useful instrument that describes different ways in which people use food to achieve their values in life. Data were collected by using an online survey carried out with Italian consumers of fresh-cut fruits. By using a cluster analysis technique, four Italian fresh-cut fruit consumer target groups were identified. The largest target group was represented by uninvolved consumers, who are not inclined to cook or plan meals and who are very influenced by the advertising of food products in their buying decisions. -

JUDGE: DOMA UNLAWFUL Mahony, Edmund H
JUDGE: DOMA UNLAWFUL Mahony, Edmund H . Hartford Courant ; Hartford, Conn. [Hartford, Conn]01 Aug 2012: B.3. ProQuest document link ABSTRACT [...]the couples said they are excluded from a host of federal programs and protections, such as paid medical and family leave and survivor benefits under some Social Security laws. FULL TEXT A federal judge in Hartford ruled Tuesday that a federal law that defines marriage as a legal union between a man and a woman is unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant ruled that Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act illegally prevents gay married couples from receiving the same benefits under federal law as heterosexual married couples. Bryant's ruling may have limited significance when considered among similar rulings in related challenges filed around the country by gay rights groups or their legal advocates. Bryant's decision is expected to be appealed, as are related suits in New York, Boston and elsewhere. The Obama administration has asked the Supreme Court to decide the issue. At the center of all the suits is the question of whether the Defense of Marriage Act violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution by discriminating against gay, married couples Section 3 of DOMA requires that the word marriage, when included in any federal law or regulation, "means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word 'spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife." The six gay couples from Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont whose suit reached Bryant argued that the act prevents their marriages, legal in states such as Connecticut, from being recognized under more than 1,000 federal laws. -
A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines
A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Juliana Duque-Mahecha May 2017 © 2017 Juliana Duque-Mahecha A New Culinary Culture in Colombia: Equality and Identity in the Interpretation of Traditional Cuisines Juliana Duque-Mahecha, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 Abstract Cooking responds to this double entendre of a past that is collected, interpreted and then projected on to a present that then overcomes it. New food trends necessarily imply questions about social and cultural equality and identity. That which is novel is exciting and refreshing; it implies learning and broadening boundaries, which are often geographical and social and always cultural. However, the process also entails the inherent challenge to define and answer what is lost and valued in a new scenario and to understand to what purpose. Some categories that have been used to understand such historical processes of cultural production in social systems are class, race, ethnicity and gender, as well as concepts associated with territory, differentiation, integration and democratization, authenticity and exoticization. My purpose in conducting an analytical approach to the development of the gastronomical and culinary subject in Colombia and of building a diagnostic map of it, responds to the wish to contribute to the understanding of the function of food research in solving specific questions of inequality, estrangement, and deracination, as well as understanding new senses of belonging and appropriation that emerge because of urban reconfigurations. -
Convenience Food
CONVENIENCE FOOD Convenience foods or tertiary processed foods are foods which are designed to save consumers time, reduce wastage from spoilage, and reduce financial costs using economies of scale. These foods require minimum preparation, typically just heating, and are packaged for a long shelf life with little loss of flavour and nutrients over time. They were developed specifically to preserve the oversupply of agricultural products in order to stabilize the food markets in developed countries. Pros and Cons:- Consumers are attracted to these products for their: · Low financial cost. In addition to their low cost price, they negate the need to store fresh food and therefore the likelihood of wastage is significantly lower. · Low time cost. Convenience foods significantly reduce the time spent shopping for and preparing a meal. · Variety. Due to packaging techniques such as canning and freezing, foods are available at all times of the year. · Food safety. Packaging and processing techniques, such as canning, freezing, and irradiation, reduce spoilage and the presence of bacteria in the consumed products. Convenience foods are often criticized. Reasons for criticism include:- · They are often high in fat and calorie content, and over consumption of convenience foods are often linked to obesity. · They may contain Genetically Modified (GMO) foods. · Foods are sometimes subject to food irradiation, which has a negative public perception. · Preservatives are almost always used, which also have a negative public perception. Origin:- Many point to the feminist movement, unchaining women from the kitchen, as the motivation for the development of these products. Others say it is more likely that urbanization, industrialization, and a reaction to feed the post war population explosion after World War II was the true cause.
