Chapter 9

There are many dangers in eating fast food that the fast food company never talk about that should be talked about and that are the chances of getting an illness from eating the food the chance of them getting mad cow disease or suffering from an illness called E Coli which killed many children at one point. It comes from not properly feeding the cattle of not properly cutting and cleaning the actually cattle. During the 1990s the federal government purchased the meat that went to school and they were a lot less better then the ones that were given to the people in the fast food market. That's one of many different things that fast food industries didn't tell people about the really dangers of eating there food. E Coli isn't fun to deal with it can actually eat your stomach and destroy linings in your intestines and you can have violent diarrhea the fast food doesn't warn about this

The whole chapter really made me think about the harm of actually eating fast food and made me think about the whole fast food company and how once something like that happens they decide to hide it somethings because i didnt really know about the whole jack in box situation and how they recalled back hamburgers and i didnt know a lot of things

Chapter 10

McDonalds and other fast food companies expanded around the world and there were record breaking when they first arrived in Saudi Arabia it earned 200,000 dollars on Ramadan, when McDonalds opened in Kuwait there was a drive through line going out 7 miles. Now in Brazil it has become the largest private employer. A promoter Den Fujita said he explains that we are what we eat and he said that if they continue eating McDonalds that they will be taller, have white skin and would grow blond hair.

"In 1986, the Tahiti Tourism Promotion Board ran an ad campaign featuring pristine beaches and the slogan "Sorry, No McDonald's." A decade later, one opened in Papeete, the Tahitian capital, bringing hamburgers and fries to a spot thousands of miles across the Pacific, from the nearest cattle ranches or potato's." a place where they committed in not having a McDonalds ended up with one McDonalds is a powerful industry and it seems like it would do anything to have one everywhere in the world.


Epilogue

 Dale Lasater is a farmer who has experiences in different farms in the united states and he has experience in Argentina where he worked on a farm and he said that Americans are forgetting what real beef tastes like and that in Argentina every cow is grass fed and that beef is sold to expensive restaurants. Fast food industries are not actually putting the real cost of a hamburger and they now have social trends and caused the obesity rate to go up.

"The working conditions in Americas slaughterhouse demonstrates what can happen when employers wield virtually unchecked power over their workers." That quote doesn't sound good at all it seems like the company have so much power that no one from the outside can see and it isn't fair. Earlier in the chapter there was a guy who gave up his whole body for the company and ended up getting fired because he had damaged lungs and he was in the hospital. The meat packing industry doesn't do a good job
