Analysis:Constitutional question:
The constitutional question here is determining or not if the Federal meat Inspection Act, which basically allows slaughterhouses to keep animals that can’t walk for observation, for evidence of disease, does this prevent a state law that determines animals like that to be immediately killed.
Facts of the case:
· The Federal meat Inspection Act is basically an act that is concerned about animals that are going to become meat.
· Slaughterhouses in California.
· California made there own rules which is basically allowing them to handle or take care of or observe animals that cannot walk.
· The right to purchase animals like any type of receipts was also banned in California.
· Can’t sell meat if the animal was originally with the swine that didn’t allow it to walk.
· The animals that can’t walk are caused by transportation.
· 220,000 swine die during transportation
· 440,000 become unable to walk during transportation.
· Are animals suitable to turn into meat?
· Inspections?
· Humane treatment to animals that can’t walk. Do whatever they want to the animal.
Summary of the Arguments before the SCOTUS:
The argument before SCOTUS appears argues and states the overall points of the case. Mr. Wells, on behalf of the petitioner, states the rules that the California slaughterhouses have given themselves, which is basically handling animals that cannot walk. The case here is argued among Steven J. Wells, Justice Scalia, Justice Kagan, Justice Sotomayor and Justice Alito. One main thing that has come to their attention is the point in which California has banned all receipts for animals. Therefore not allowing any evidence of a purchase from an animal. The situation ended up leading to another case, which involved meat sales, receipts of purchase and such. Meat sales happens to be one of the main steps involved in the process of the slaughterhouse argues one person. Human treatment and food safety are other points made here. How is it that people could sit and sell food yet not knowing much about the health of the animal, this here can lead to health issues among people who buy the meat. The main focus now is the fact as to, why animals are unable to walk, which could be from transportation to the slaughterhouses and could be from the swine disease in, which the animals carry. There were multiple points brought up but the main one had to do with the process in, which animals become unable to walk.
Predictions on the outcome:
I am not sure what to thin actually I mean I completely disagree with the slaughterhouses in California and their rules. I believe they are the ones who will lose the case because of cruelty. Well not exactly cruelty to animals but the point as to, where they are handling and dealing with animals that can’t walk in the way they want to handle them.
In this unit a lot about what really goes on with food processing. From the videos I watched in class to the articles I've read, there are a lot of things that hidden from the public. I think that one of the bigger problems with our food system has to do with people of course, because honestly there isn't any other cause then the people. It's not like the things we eat can cause problems itself, it's the people that makes it, the people that is in charge of the food processing. Not only is it the people who are a part of the food making process, its those who eat the food that aren't speaking out about what's wrong with it. If no one cares about what they are intaking than, what they are eating isn't going to be changed. It also goes under laziness, because some people don't feel like actually preparing a healthy meal, so they rather eat fast food because it is convenient. There are a few changes I could make with some of my eating habits, and some of those things could be instead of eating as much candy as I do I could minimize the sizes. I also have a habit of drinking a lot of teas, so if i could maybe add a few more bottles of water to my diet it would make a difference. There wouldn't be that much sugar in my daily intake, I am more then willing to make the changes. However the only problem would be minimizing the amount of teas I drink, so like I said already I would just add water.

Analysis
The dish I made is more of a side but it can also be a meal if you were to add other ingredients to it. In my dish there aren't that many processed foods. The foods that were processed were the cheese and butter. This dish has a total of about 360 calories, which isn't that bad. However if I was too eat this everyday I would most likely gain a lot of weight, mostly because of the potatoes. Most of the ingredients in this dish are mostly from the U.S, but not all are grown locally. This dish was mostly commercial, but could have been organic. Depending on where the items are being bought, the total of everything should be no more than about 25 dollars at the most. This meal does cost more than fast food, but it still beats eating fast foods everyday. At the end of the day a dish like this a better selection.
