Fast Food Nation

In the Fast Food Nation, it provided the truths behind each fast food corporation and industries that contribute to the corporations. I never expected or thought about a horrible working place for companies that were contributing to the fast food restaurants. Workers had no safe environment during their labor and minorities were taken advantage of. While fast food corporations and any companies that were providing the food for them were making a good profit, the fast food movement had cause many independent ranchers and farmers to lose their jobs. It really has opened my eyes and built my knowledge on how unhealthy and disgusting fast foods can be. Although I knew it was unhealthy to begin with, I never thought the foods contained unknown chemicals, and pretty much eating every animals and their waste. I want to say I will stop eating meat, or stop going to fast food restaurants, but I think it’s impossible because it has been in my diet for so long. However though, I most definitely will not touch any fast foods burgers because I did not enjoy burgers anyway, and there is no way I‘d want to consume any burgers into my body. (Unless they’re cooked by my mother). I may not completely stop going to fast food restaurants, just because fast food restaurants has always been the spot to hang out with my friends, but I won’t be visiting often. This book most definitely has inspired me to just eat at home and cook for myself. Then I will know what I’m actually putting into my body and it will not be as harmful as any food listed on the menu at fast foods. Without realizing, corporations had taken the power of workers and consumers for their own interest. And we were blindly contributing to their profits while consumers suffered from health problems and workers suffered from injuries and mistreatment.

  3. It has opened my eyes as well and I'm glad we can take so much knowledge from this book. It's so good that you aren't going to eat hamburgers from fast food restaurants, because that meat is the worst.
