For my Environmental
Science class I am going to pick one of the items from the list above to
research. For this assignment I pick Progresso Soup. My Favorite is the New
England Clam Chowder.

Progresso soup is
made from authentic recipes and with the highest quality ingredients. Over 100
years ago Progresso Foods started. Vincent Taormina first imported foods from
Italy to meet the need for high quality ingredients familiar to Italian
Americans. The Progresso label was introduced in 1927. Progresso Soup now has
40 different varieties with 100 calories or less per serving.
Progresso soup is
sold by can. Each can is two servings. But actually on can is more a single
serving size. I like to buy the soup when it is on sale. The can of soup can
retail for as high as $3.79 per can. I have come to realize that the stores
rotate Progresso Soup being on sale. The cheapest I have found the soup is for
$1.00 per can. I love the soup and will usually always wait for it to be on
sale before I buy it. You can buy Progresso Soup at the grocery store or your
local Target or Walgreens. You can buy it almost anywhere food is sold. It’s
definitely a want but if you replaced your meals with a can of soup then of
course the soup could be considered a need.
Can foods now have
expiration dates. I eat the soup up so I don’t have to worry about the soup
spoiling. However it would be a good idea to rotate can goods so that the older
cans are used first. If they expire and the contents inside seem inedible it is
a good idea to dispose of the contents, rinse out the can and put the can into
the recycling bin. The soup is in high demand. How do I know this….well when
its goes on sale it’s always out of stock. I also notice a lot of people eat it
on a regular basis. So the production of the soup creates jobs. The price makes
is good for the economy. It keeps a good flow of supply and demand. The down
side to the soup is that it is individually packaged. After the individual use,
most people toss the can into the trash. If people would rinse the can out and
recycle it, it would be a less negative effect on the environment.
Great job Kirsten! You did a wonderful job making your lists and researching your one product.
