This presentation shows the added effects that can come along with purchasing chicken including growth hormones. Antibiotics are administered to animals in feed to increase growth rates and to prevent infections. But too much of these antibiotics can have an effect on human health. In 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration has issued guidance documents for industry to follow to no longer sell their antibiotic products for “growth promotion” (Martain and Thottahil 2409). When purchasing chicken from super market all chicken being sold there should have a label stating the chicken is hormone free. If you are getting your chicken from a local market or street vendor, but be sure they are a reliable source of poultry. After buying your chicken you cook it one of three ways. By conduction, convection, and radiation.

As many may like this dish for it's taste it is important to society because it is a way to look into different cultures. Chicken lo mein could also be looked at as a survival need. Although there are other foods to eat, chicken lo mein has the calories, fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins that are needed for survival.

The vegetables being eaten in the chicken lo mein all go through the photosynthesis process. Photosynthesis occurs in plant cells, through this process plants process light into things we can eat and produce the air we breathe (Duncan 12). Light reactions that occur in the chloroplasts, produces ATP. ATP pushes the reaction, and NADPH pushes the power needed to bind the hydrogen ions to carbon atoms. The primary purpose of photosynthesis is to make glucose, leaving oxygen as a product (Strgar 63). In order for the plant or vegetable, to have a healthy growth certain chemicals and minerals are needed. These minerals are then absorbed through the roots.

-Carrots are a good form of carbohydrates and minerals such as Ca, Fe, Na, K, Mg, Cu, Zn, carotenes, thiamine, vitamin C (Arscot, TanuMihardio 2010, SharMa et al. 2012).

-During a study looking at onion growth, the study found that fertilization nutrients were more present in bare soil than in the mulched soil. It was supposed that the lower soil temperature in the non-mulched soil caused lower onion growth (Lee 304).

-Chinese cabbage grew drastically with organic amendments, and even surpassed those synthetic fertilizers. This suggests that other growth limiting factors might be involved during cabbages growing process (Amjad Ahmad 205).

When cooking the chicken for your chicken lo mein dish you can cook it by

-Searing your chicken and vegetables on a stove top by conduction. Heat is transferred from the hot particles in your dish to the cooler ones. Faster moving molecules will transfer their energy and eventually everything in your chicken lo mein dish will be evenly heated.

-You can also cook this dish if you wish to by convection. Convention heating offers faster cooking times with less energy while cooking. It circulates hot air around the dish being prepared, rather than just applying heat from the top and bottom (Cooks Tips On Convention Cooking).

-Maybe you have left over chicken lo mein that you want to re heat. This is where radiation comes into play. Radiation is the transfer of energy through waves. The energy is absorbed from the water in your chicken lo mein. The water molecules then vibrate causing higher kinetic energy. Though microwaving may feel quicker, studies show that microwaving is leaves cool and warm spots through a mix of your food. Because the short process time in microwave heating, there is not enough time for thermal diffusion to take place between hot and cold spots in the food (Sohan, Jones and Pitchai 230 ).

Other ingredients made in chicken lo mein such as carrots onions and cabbage all come from the soil. These plants are shoveled into the ground and left there for weeks to grow. After the vegetable has fully grown the farmer, or planter will pick the crop. Eventually these vegetables will be bought from a market or grocery store and then will be transformed into your chicken lo mein dish.

Some of the vegetables used in chicken lo mein need to grow in certain climates and condtions. Here are some of the conditions these plants need to grow. The carrots added in chicken lo mein are a cool weather cop which means they grow during the cooler months of the year. Around NY and in other places near us you would plant carrots in the fall and harvest them just before winter. Carrots are planted and harvested in sandy loam soil (Rukshima Nesha 259). Soil growth for onions is similar to carrots. Onions need deep loam soil, with lots of moisture and good drainage. The more space an onion has to grow the bigger its roots will grow leading to a bigger onion (Zahid Hussain 66). Cabbage can be grown in both the spring and the fall. Like onions if you want to grow your cabbage to the largest capacity plant them 12 to 24 inches away from each other. Cabbage is usually grown on the ground with subirragation for the first weeks of planting and then is moved to sandy soil (Lucas G. Paranhosa 129).
