A Comparison between Raw and Pasteurized Cow Milk Essay

When people shop for milk, do they really know what they are getting? Do they really know where their milk comes from? Many people go ahead and buy the milk provided by stores because it is more convenient or they really don't know that they have other options. The milk advertisements in magazines, commercials and on bill boards never mention all of the side effects caused by milk. It does, however, mention how "it does the body good". Well, does it really? Milk is good for the body but it depends on what type of milk is consumed. There is the choice of drinking raw milk, pasteurized milk from a farm raised dairy cow, or pasteurized milk from a factory raised dairy cow. So which one is really good for the body? The popularity of raw milk is on the rise around the nation. More and more people are realizing that there are more advantages and fewer risks by drinking raw milk verses pasteurized milk. They are going to great lengths to get their hands on this "white gold". Those who live in states that do not permit the sale of raw milk drive to states that do. They buy enough milk to last a month and freeze it at their homes. These people are the ones who want to know where their milk comes from. They also take comfort in knowing that there is nothing added to it that could harm them. There are currently 28 states nationwide that permit the sale of milk fresh from the cow that is not pasteurized (Larson, 2005). Farmers are only allowed to sell raw milk if they acquire a permit from the state. They also have to perform specified safety tests on their cows and the milk. The number of farms in Pennsylvania who produce and sell raw milk has risen from 24 farms to 48 farms since 1998 (Larson, 2005). Raw milk is produced from...

Character Analysis of Basil Hallward in The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Novel by Oscar Wilde Essay

The main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, is a man too easily influenced by his surroundings. He is quoted as saying, Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry is what the world thinks me Dorian is what I would like to bein other ages, perhaps (Wilde). This comparison falls in line with the moral of the story because Dorian is stuck with eternal youth and beauty even though he has a wicked soul. This causes different views of him by people who observe his daily life. Dorian is a sponge throughout the novel that absorbs everything and allows it to shape his personality, morals, and actions. Dorian Gray takes influence from Lord Henry, Basil Hallward, and the culture of society during which the novel was written. Lord Henry is the epitome of a wealthy, hedonistic gentleman seeking only pleasure, with little regard to cost or consequence. Lord Henry Wotton outwardly propounds hedonism, but it is his extreme egotism that drives him to manipulate both Basil Hallward a

An Analysis of the Character of Chichikov in the Poem, Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol Essay

Dead Souls takes place in the Russia of the late 1800s, where, unlike in America, one must be born into a prosperous family in order to have opportunities. The main character, Chichikov, is clever enough to develop a scheme in which he can rise from being a petty clerk to a respected landowner. In order to do this, Chichikov moves into a new town, pretending to already be a landowner, and begins a quest to buy the names of dead serfs who have not yet been officially reported dead.
