THOUGHTS ON FFN

            I thought Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser was a really well put together book. I liked that it went really in depth into the fast food industry and it almost seemed like a really good research paper. It has affected me in a positive way because I feel like my eyes have been opened to the bad things behind the scenes of the fast food restaurants. I will try to make changes in my life because of the stuff I learned from this book. Now even the thought of eating McDonald's sickens me. It has made me think of the bad issues we have as a society here in America and even throughout the world. Not only are we physically killing ourselves with these diets but I feel we are mentally weak and our whole perception of food is messed up. I blame us all though because we all contribute to these companies and I think these companies would not even be here if it wasn't for us. We give them the power because we purchase their food, but I feel like there has to be a line drawn and we have to put a limit to it at some point. These companies will only grow and expand if we allow them to. I fell like individually were not as strong but if we all make better healthier choices we can make a difference in our country, our world, and our society as a whole.
