Fast food is a huge industry that essentially abides by their own rules, they cut corners without consideration for the consumer, the worker, or the laws set in place that are supposed to mandate it.
The film offers a visual representation of the major points presented in the book, it shows us rather than telling us the coming and goings of the fast food industry. It has more of an ability to churn your stomach and show what really happens.
The book, on the other hand, goes into more detail and offers more facts and statistical evidence to prove the point. The book raises questions that you hadn't considered whilst answering them.
After reading and viewing, I have strong feelings against the fast food industry and their outright abuse of our society and economy. While they may be seen as evil or manipulative, they epitomize everything that capitalism stands for, and I don't believe that that is a bad thing.
Jay,
ReplyDeleteYour third paragraph seems to offer contradictory perspectives in sequential sentences. Was that your intent?
1. Strong feelings against fast food industry.
2. Fast food industry abuses society and economy.
3. Could be seen as evil.
4. Epitomize capitalism.
5. I don't believe that "that" is a bad thing.
What is the "that" which isn't a bad thing? Capitalism? Fast food epitomizing capitalism? Or the abuse of society and economy?
When you write something like this, its better if you either;
a. Rewrite it coherently or
b. State at the outset that you have contradictory feelings and thoughts about the topic.
