My Thoughts on Fast Food Nation
The book
Fast Food Nation has shown me that American fast food chains effect the whole
world. From the hiring of workers worldwide to the spread to other countries. Immigrants
a hurt, sometimes fatally, in slaughterhouses at minimal pay. Cows are feed
steroids to get beefier. It all adds up. It has affected me by now being aware
of the process that it takes to make these hamburgers. The dangers in the
slaughterhouse and the stuff that goes into it. I will definitely eat less fast
food, but probably not all together. I don’t eat fast food all that much
anyways, maybe once a month. I didn’t really think that other countries would
think that American food chains would be considered American imperialism, and
how threatened they were because of it. Some placed were looted and burned to
the ground, others were bombed. Also I knew that obesity was an issue but I didn’t
know that twenty-five percent of kids in America were obese. Reading a book
like this makes me appreciate that I have a home-cooked meal just about every
day during the week and not nothing but junk food from fast food restaurants.
I myself have learned so much too!
ReplyDeleteI like how you mentioned more about the workers than about the food. This is the first post that has made this observation that i have read so far.
