Eric Schlosser, Fast Food Nation. Introduction
Fast food plays a huge role in our society, and throughout this book, I will go into depth on the positives and negatives of it's impact. I think fast food can be considered a main representative of America.
"Hundreds of millions of people buy fast food every day without giving it much thought, unaware of the subtle and not so subtle ramifications of their purchases."
This book is going to be interesting and might possibly change my eating of fast food, but I doubt it will heavily impact my life.
Chapter 1
McDonald's started a trend, and many followed. Among those who followed are some of the biggest names in the fast food.
"Entrepreneurs from all over the country went to San Bernardino, visited the new McDonald's and built imitations of the restaurant in their hometowns."
It's extremely interesting to see where all of the companies we know so well came from. I now realize why McDonald's is the best. Because it was the first.
Chapter 2
McDonald's employees are taught a certain way, to do certain things, in order to uphold the McDonald's image.
Market towards kids.
"...there was something trippy about Ronald McDonald..."
Corporations feed on youthful ignorance. Cigarettes. Fast Food. Clothes. You name it.
