Which of the proteins listed above are plant-based? Beans are the winner here, and they are an amazing addition to any meal. Have you ever had beans at breakfast?

Today, you’ll be researching other plant-based proteins (especially those that you may not be familiar with) that you can add to breakfast.  Plant-based proteins are lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, and they’re often rich in fiber and other vitamins and minerals too.

Today, take about 45 minutes to research plant-based proteins. Then, write a paragraph in which you tell me about at least five different food items that contain plant-based proteins that you think would be suitable for breakfast and that you might like to try. Briefly describe each of these and how they may be used at breakfast.  Finally, search online for a delicious-looking breakfast recipe that contains one of these plant-based protein ingredients, and include the link with your paragraph.

Here’s how you will be graded:
Paragraph
– Structure (5 pts) – Contains introductory sentence, supporting details, and concluding sentence.
– Content (10 pts) – Contains at least five different plant-based proteins and describes each, explaining how they may be used at breakfast.
– Link (5 pts) – Breakfast recipe contains plant-based protein

Five minutes in length, PowerPoint or slides are optional.

1. Describe the issue (the underlying problem) the article discusses and describe the proposed solution.
2. Describe the information that is presented as evidence in the article that demonstrates the need to address the issue.
3. Describe any projected/expected outcomes that are used to justify the solution proposed in the article.
4. Based upon your understanding of the policy proposal in this article, state whether you support/oppose the policy proposed (or even offer a different policy choice) and then explain why you take that position. (HINT: you might want to wait to answer this question last so you have completely thought about all the nuances of this assignment from the other questions!)
5. Describe problems the issue creates for individuals (How might you or someone else be personally affected by the issue?).
6. Evaluate the positive and negative effects the proposed solution may have on individuals.
7. Explain if and how the proposed solution supports values of democracy, such as liberty, equality, justice, independence, opportunity, and freedom.
8. Describe ways individuals (you and/or others) might change their community involvement or political participation if this proposed solution was adopted.

Background:

Gatorade was the first mover in the sports drink market. Growth and macro environmental factors such as increasing interest in health and fitness combined with effective marketing led to rapid adoption. As the beverage market evolved and expanded, competitors took share with differentiated benefits such as added caffeine or less sugar. Gatorade innovated with new flavors. The Product lifecycle for sports drinks is now in market maturity. How could Gatorade innovate to maintain its position as an “hydrating, athletic performance beverage” vs. the competition.?

Instructions:

During class we will do this exercise brainstorming as a group, with each person posting their idea. Those who are doing this asynchronously can add their ideas later. Please state what your new product idea is for Gatorade.  It can be a line extension or a completely new category. A one line description is sufficient and you do not need to comment on your classmates’ posts  – but you can if you want to.
