FFN 3+7

1a. McDonalds. Cheeseburgers, cheeseburgers, cheeseburgers! Happy Meal? I love cheeseburgers. They taste great and make my mouth water just thinking about them. Why is this line so long, I think to myself. Wow, this line moves fast, we are already at the front. I stand behind my babysitter while she orders for me and my siblings. "What do you want?" "I want a cheeseburger happy meal please". We step to the side for a second, and whoop, foods ready. The food tastes better than I could have imagined. The Happy Meal toy is not cool, I do not like this movie. I feel weird, a little uneasy, almost sick.
1b. 1. The fast food industry has been a catalyst and a symptom of larger economic trends. 2. Hundreds of millions of people buy fast food every day without giving it much thought. 3. Fast food is heavily marketed to children and prepared by people whoe are barely older than children.
1c. Fast food's role in causing cancer. Why American farmers have not set aside their differences and banded together against the fast food machine. Why the government has not been held responsible for the lack of control on the fast food industry.

2. In chapter 3, Schlosser starts out by laying down the facts about Colorado Springs, more specifically how fast food has exploded with the sprawl Colorado Springs. He uses Colorado Springs as a microcasm of the growth in the U.S. and the world to show how fast food grows most in developing areas. He then personalizes what is happening in Colorado Springs by focusing on Elisa Zamot, a McDonald's employee, and how she at sixteen already works long arduous hours as little more than a slave for McDonald's.
In chapter 7, Schlosser directs his attention to fast food's mission to crush any attempt at undermining them, specifically through the formation of unions mainly in the beef industry. He states the facts about the beef industry and how it moved from an urban setting to a rural setting, starting in the sixties. He then focuses on the trailblazers for this shift, founders of IBP Currier J. Holman and A. D. Anderson and how they have suppressed unions in Greeley.
