Industry and Trade Flow Chart of a Product
McDonald’s Hamburger Flowchart
There are four primary industries that are involved in the production of making a McDonalds Hamburger. First there is the agriculture that wheats grow to produce bread. Tomatoes grow to make the ketchup. Onions to grow in the field to add died onions in the hamburger. Secondly, there is a slaughter house that kills the cow for it’s beef. Thirdly, the forest industry cuts down trees for the pulp that make the box for the hamburger to be given out in.
Second Industry include a factory that are chopped and precooked tomatoes are pumped into pulping machines, or cyclones, which separate seeds, skins, and stems from the pulp. The pulp and juice are filtered through screens and processed further into ketchup. The sifted flour is poured into an industrial Yeast is added. Mix. The dough is placed in covered metal bowls and stored in a temperature-controlled room until it rises. After the dough has fermented, it is loaded with rotating blades that cut the dough . A conveyer belt then moves the pieces of dough to a molding machine. When the dough is formed, it is conveyed to a second molding machine. From then the pans enter a tunnel oven. When baked and partially cooled the loaves are mechanically dumped from the pans onto shelves. The baking and cooling process lasts approximately 30 minutes. Onions are sorted, cleaned and processed, diced and bagged to be sent out to McDonalds. The process of beef is a cow being slaughtered at a slaughter house, sent to a facorty to be thoroughly inspected. Cleaned, packaged and sent off to McDonalds. Plastic bag process starts with a resin machine, through a heated screw, forced to mix and melt to a liquid state. Screw forces the melted resin through a die forcing it into a tube. Blowing air through the center. Travels up a tower to cool the melted plastic. Once cooled, flattened and travels down to the set of rollers. When the plastic reaches the bottom, it is wound on a large roll. Lastly, pulp and paper company takes the log and make a small box from the pulp. Dye and ink companies print the labels on the box.
The tertiary industry provides the services for the product. There are a number of tertiary industries involved. First, transportation industries ship the products to McDonalds Industries. McDonalds firm market the product once its put together. McDonalds sell the hamburger to the customers. Customers purchase hamburgers throughout the whole day. Recycling companies take the used boxes and prepare them fore other uses.
Quarternary industries is the hardest but most best industry to choose from all four. McDonald Avdertisers use this information to help them make ads for people to come eat at McDonalds. Farmers, loggers and plastic companies will also benefit from the information knowing how much more they need to produce. They help keep track of there supply.

Dear Department of Agriculture,
Hi, my name is Alisa Phrakonekham. I am a student at Kildonan East Collegiate, and I am writing a letter to you concerning the use of chemicals in our food. In my point of view, chemicals in our food is a threat to our living and that we should stop using it.
Chemicals in most cases know that it’s a harmful thing to our bodies and our environment. Chemicals are bad nature to people and we know that it could really cause a problem to our health. Sure its good for pests/bugs to stay away from our food, but really its hurting the environment. Its polluting our air. Even though documents say that there are no side affects to chemicals in our food, they don’t know the long term affects. They’re only thinking of the short term affects of chemicals in our food. With organic grown foods, it minimizes diseases. Because with chemicals, what if a farmer didn’t know what he way spraying in his crops. It’s going out to the markets for customers to buy and eat. It can cause a problem making us all fall ill. Farmers that do not spray chemicals in their crops are farmers that are concerned about their crops. They care for their crops and care for the people consuming it. Even though chemicals make more food production, enhance appearance, stops pests etc, its not worth risking my life or having anything wrong with my body. Chemicals can poison wildlife and it can target plants and other animals that are not targeting. Chemicals that ruin wildlife ruin animals that live in that wildlife. Ruin their habitats and their way of living. If an animal in that area consumes the food, they can fall ill and die. Incorrect chemicals can damage crops/livestock. If their crops get damage, there goes the profit. They’ll have to start over, which all their hard work goes to waste. Chemicals can cause mutation in foods. But of course they’d throw it out, not wanting customers to know what happens when chemicals are submitted. Eating organic foods is all natural, and you feel good eating it knowing no harmful things have happened to the product.
I hope this encourages you to throw this out to the real world more, because this is a big issue concerning us people. People should start realizing what they eat. If there are chemicals added, I think they should label their products so people know if there are or not any chemicals submitted. Thanks for your time reading my letter, I hope you take this into consideration.
Sincerely,

What I like about the site is at the beginning when you enter the website, it asks for your location, province and which store locater you’re looking for. Its easy for me and to other people that live in different provinces. When you enter the site, it has links that lead you to different categories. Its easy to look what you’re finding for. The site is legible and eye catching. Superstores Competitors are Wal-Mart, Safeway, Zellers, Sobeys Costco etc. Most of these stores are not so far from each other. These stores can hinder their business big time. Stealing is another problem. The company looses products and they’d have to pay for it. It could cause a problem later in the future.
