  • Going Beyond the Beyond Meat Burger: a Political Economic and Comparative Semiotic Analysis of Online Advertisements
    1 UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY Going Beyond the Beyond Meat Burger: A Political Economic and Comparative Semiotic Analysis of Online Advertisements By Nora Belle Grant A THESIS SUMBITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIRMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BA HONOURS IN COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION, MEDIA AND FILM APRIL 2020 © Nora Belle Grant 2020 2 Abstract This undergraduate Honours thesis utilizes political economy and semiotics to explore the political and economic structures, cultural signifiers, as well as the myths that are created within Beyond Meat and traditional meat burger advertisements. The economic and cultural weight that Beyond Meat products currently have in the fast-food market is established through a political economy analysis, demonstrating that their burger is a significant artifact to study. A semiotic analysis is conducted to reveal the myths that are produced in each type of burger advertisement. This thesis explores the power of the cultural and economic signifiers that are associated with both plant- based and beef burgers. 3 Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge several individuals for helping me throughout this process of completing my undergraduate thesis. Firstly, I would like to sincerely thank my supervisor Dr. Gregory Taylor for his constant support, honesty and time that allowed for me to complete a thesis that I am proud of. Second, I want to extend my appreciation to Dr. Samantha Thrift for her guidance and encouragement with this year’s Honours cohort. I would like to thank Dr. Jessalyn Keller and Dr. Lisa Stowe for being a part of the final stages of my project.

  • Sterilization, Hunting and Culling : Combining Management Approaches for Mitigating Suburban Deer Impacts
    Poster Presentation Sterilization, Hunting and Culling: Combining Management Approaches for Mitigating Suburban Deer Impacts J.R. Boulanger University of North Dakota P.D. Curtis and M.L. Ashdown Cornell University ABSTRACT: Based on decades of growing deer impacts on local biodiversity, agricultural damage, and deer-vehicle collisions, in 2007 we implemented an increasingly aggressive suburban deer research and management program on Cornell University lands in Tompkins County, New York. We initially divided Cornell lands into a suburban core campus area (1,100 acres [4.5 km2]) and adjacent outlying areas that contain lands where deer hunting was permitted (~4,000 acres [16.2 km2]). We attempted to reduce deer numbers by surgically sterilizing deer in the core campus zone and increasing harvest of female deer in the hunting zone through an Earn-a-Buck program. During the first 6 years of this study, project staff spayed 96 female deer (>90% of all deer on campus); 69 adult does were marked with radio transmitters to monitor movements and survival. From 2008 to 2013, hunters harvested >600 deer (69–165 each hunting season). By winter 2013, we stabilized the campus deer herd to approximately 100 animals (57 deer/mi2 [22 deer/km2]), a density much higher than project goals (14 deer/mi2). Although we reduced doe and fawn numbers by approximately 38% and 79%, respectfully, this decrease was offset by an increase in bucks that appeared on camera during our population study. In 2014, we supplemented efforts using deer damage permits (DDP) with archery sharpshooting over bait, and collapsible Clover traps with euthanasia by penetrating captive bolt.

  • Fast Facts on Canada's Commercial Seal Hunt
    Fast Facts on Canada's Commercial Seal Hunt About the Hunt: Canada's commercial seal hunt is the largest slaughter of marine mammals on Earth. In just 10 years, over two million seals have been killed for their fur. This does not include the tens of thousands of injured seals who have died below the ice. 97 percent of the seals killed in the past 10 years have been less than three months of age. Many of these defenseless seals did not yet know how to swim. In 2001, an independent veterinary panel concluded that the seal hunt results in considerable and unacceptable suffering. They noted that in 42 percent of the seals examined there was not enough evidence of cranial injury to even guarantee unconsciousness at the time of skinning. Harp seals rely on sea ice to give birth to and nurse their pups and they need the ice to remain intact until the pups are strong enough to survive in open water. Climate change has caused sea ice to diminish at an alarming rate off Canada’s east coast in the harp seal birthing grounds. Sea ice formation has been well below average for each of the past 15 years, with 2010 having the lowest sea ice formation on record. The Canadian government has estimated up to 100% mortality in harp seal birthing areas when the sea ice did not form or melted too early in the season. Despite this, the Canadian government continues to authorize massive harp seal quotas each year. The Humane Society of the United States takes no issue with subsistence seal hunting by aboriginal people.

  • PLANT-BASED Burgers Au Naturel
    PLANT-BASED burgers au naturel 34 THE NATIONAL CULINARY REVIEW • MAY/JUNE 2018 BURGERS AU NATUREL BY OFFERING A PLANT-BASED BURGER ON THE MENU, YOU TELL A GROWING NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS THAT YOU KNOW WHERE THEY’RE COMING FROM. BY JODY SHEE ith all the eating styles of the day, your customers don’t have Wto be vegetarians to appreciate a good non-beef, plant-based burger. Thus, it may be time to add one to your menu. But where do you start, especially considering that not all customers think the same way about what you might come up with? Chicago’s The Growling Rabbit has a large vegetarian and vegan customer base, so it was only natural for owner Laura Soncrant to develop a plant-based patty and offer it as a non-beef burger option. She came up with a pink bean and quinoa patty for her brunch-pub/supper-club operation. She began asking guests why they ordered what they did, and discovered that older consumers who choose to switch out the beef patty for a plant-based one do so for health reasons— Photo by Chris Casella/Courtesy of Melt Bar and Grilled limiting their meat for the day or for the week. Younger consumers who select the plant-based patty often do so with a mindfulness of excessive water use in beef production—a less environmentally sustainable practice than raising plants. Travis Johnson, CEC, executive culinary director of Sodexo- managed Seminole Dining, with 36 dining outlets at Florida State University, Tallahassee, believes that chefs’ sustainability ethos should extend beyond buying fresh and local ingredients to include exploring and incorporating non-animal proteins.

  • Sustaining a First Mover Advantage in a Fast-Growing Meat Substitute Market
    Sustaining a First Mover Advantage in a Fast-Growing Meat Substitute Market Amod Choudhary Lehman College, City University of New York Abstract With the demographic and social changes, and increasing concern for animals and sustainability of planet earth, there has been great interest in consumption of non-meat (and fish) products in the U.S. The coronavirus that impacted U.S. in Spring of 2020 and advances in delivery technology in service sectors has also accelerated the demand and market of plant-based “meats.” Beyond Meat is a first mover in the meat substitute (plant-based) market. This paper analyses whether the sustainability of first mover advantages of Beyond Meat is feasible using two frameworks. One framework shows that based on fast changes in market and technological evolutions, Beyond Meat is unlikely to sustain its first mover advantage. The second framework analysis using first mover advantage as proxy for competitive advantage comes to the same conclusion. In the long run, if managed properly Beyond Meat is likely to find itself in a duopoly market structure with Impossible Foods. Introduction Recently the U.S. Department of Justice started investigation of the $213 billion meat industry for price fixing and anti-competitive practices.1 These investigations bring to fore intense competition and fast paced changes in the meat industry. The growing size and the profitability potential of this industry has attracted another group of firms. These firms are in the so-called meat substitute market. Products in meat substitute market are commonly known as vegan, vegetarian and meat like products. The strong demand for these meat-like products have been driven primarily by four factors:2 (a) desire for healthy eating, (ii) reduction in greenhouse gas emission, (iii) changing taste preferences of consumers, and (iv) desire for better animal welfare.

  • Coexisting with Deer an Advocate’S Guide for Preventing Deer Culls in Your Community
    Coexisting with Deer An advocate’s guide for preventing deer culls in your community How to use this toolkit We fight the big fight for all animals, but we can’t do it without your help. This toolkit is designed to add power to your passion; to enable you to be the most effective advocate for the deer in your community. Suburban development has created an environment in which deer thrive; our backyards provide the “edge” habitat (where forest meets field) they prefer, offering ample supply of food and water. Access to abundant resources leads to healthy deer and higher reproductive rates, and as deer populations increase, so too do deer-human conflicts. The result too often is an assumption that there are “too many deer” and a call for lethal control. This toolkit is designed to empower advocates like you to take action, be it against planned lethal measures, or proactively encouraging the adoption of a humane deer management plan. It’s often thought that the voice of a large, national organization is enough, but the voice of a constituent – yours! – is actually the most powerful tool in the fight for the welfare of deer in your community. Local decision-makers want to hear from you, not an outsider. A groundswell of local opposition to a deer cull, or in support of a humane deer management plan, has the greatest impact. This toolkit will provide guidance on how best to voice your opinion, and how to inspire others to do the same. The toolkit is organized as follows: o Learn the issue: Knowing more about the types of conflicts your community may be having with deer can help you better understand how to address them humanely.

  • The Use of Animals in Sports
    Existence, Breeding, a,nd Rights: The Use of Animals in Sports Donald Scherer Bowling Green State University Against these lines of argument one frequently encounters a certain objection. It is argued that since the animals for fighting, hunting and racing exist only because they have been bred for such human uses, human beings are justified in so treating them. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate this line ofobjection, or to speak more precisely, to evaluate the two distinct objections implicit in this line. For the objection may be either that (l) the present uses of the animals are justified because they are better for the animals than the Standardly, philosophical arguments about the alternative, namely non-existence, or that quality of treatment human beings owe nonhuman animals! rest on two bases. Peter Singer is famous (2) breeding an animal for a purpose gives the for arguing from the capacity of animals to feel pain breeders (transferable) rights over what they to the conclusion that since almost none of the pain have bred. human beings cause animals is necessary, almost none of it is morally justifiable (Singer, 1989, pp. 78-79). I shall pursue these alternatives sequentially. Singer rests his case on the premise that who suffers pain does not affect the badness of the suffering, so The Value of Existence that, without strong justification, the infliction of pain is universally wrong (Ibid., pp. 77-78). Tom Regan is The strength ofthe first form ofthe objection rests on equally famous for his argument that the beliefs and a common intuition comparing the values of existence desires which normal one year-old mammals clearly and non-existence.
