Analysis+and+Prediction

Chapter 1- The entire fast food industry started with a hard working man, Carl. He begin selling hotdogs on the street, hotdogs became a popular cheap food to eat. Also the idea of drive up food places came to mind and made a lot of money. But then Richard and Maurice McDonald started a restaurant named McDonalds with their amazing hamburgers. They even started selling them in Disneyland! The chains of restaurants were increasing drastically. I believe the next chapter will be about the progress of McDonalds and how much they expanded. Carl became extremely high up in the fast food industries and made millions of dollars. He took over many companies.

Chapter 2- This chapter is mainly about McDonalds. There main selling product was hamburgers but they started to sell chicken, fries, and toys. Also Ronal McDonald was introduced and became even more famous then Mickey mouse! McDonalds also was partners with Walt Disney and having his connection expanded their business tons. Ray Kroc took McDonalds to a whole new level and expanded it all over. Also the two mascots (Mickey and Ronald) became huge rivals. Ray expanded McDonalds even more by buying an amusement park. McDonalds centered business on kids. For many reasons. They will beg their parents to get those McDonalds which mean parents and or friends would buy it too. Playgrounds where built in their restaurants, which draws children, because hey want to have fun and play. The happy meal was also centered on children trying to make their food seam happy. McDonald’s goal is to get kids/ anyone to believe that they are their trusted friend. McDonalds then joins with coca- cola drinks, which increases their sales.

hapter 3- The fast food in Colorado grows faster then their own population! Fast food industries started to have symbols in front of their restaurant. Like McDonalds golden arches, this draws tons of attention to their restaurant. Also we find out in this chapter that hamburgers, fires, chicken, and almost everything starts frozen and is cooked in 90 seconds. Also that milkshakes and most drinks start out at syrup. At taco bell any thing to be cooked just needs hot water and that’s it! The fast food industry also began to hire many teenagers, poor, and the handicapped which creates jobs and more business. Most are paid minimum wage, and fast food restaurants respect obedience, it is a main priority. Teenagers get more injured doing this job then adults, there are at least 200000 injures on the job. More employees at a fast food restaurant get killed rather than police. I believe the next chapter will be about other fast food restaurants then McDonalds.

Chapter 4- Little Creasers has been introduced, their pizzas are big and inexpensive. This draws much attention to teenagers, that don’t have a lot of money. Feamster, a former hockey player, after being injured, open little creasers. Chapter 4 also goes back to the McDonalds industry, McDonalds was running people out of business. They where opening everywhere. Also the 2 golden arches where created which they also create the M in McDonalds. While at little creasers, Feamster had agreed to pay college tuitions if his employees keep a GPA of 3.0. Feamster was a very fair and great boss. If you never give up you won’t fail, that is the lesson of this chapter, success. The next chapter goes into a new section.

Chapter 5- Frozen food technology has been in vented and is explained in this chapter. The method of during potatoes was used a lot and was used and sent to the military. Local suppliers of McDonalds spent a lot of time slicing and peeling potatoes. J.R. Simplot was an 8th grade drop out and is now rich beyond imagine because, he helped the fast food nation. Frozen French fires became extremely trendy in fast food nations. McDonalds cook their French fries in oil and beef tallow. Also this chapter talks about how our taste buds work and the scents and oils in perfumes used to make our food. So many people try to open a fast food nation but only 9 out of 10 people succeed. Also studies have shown that the color of foods can affect of food tastes! Most of the food at fast food is made of favoring not natural flavor it’s all fake!

Chapter 6- The Author meets Hank, the first person he meet in Colorado Springs and explains farming and how their ranch in run. Also cattle are a huge profit and large meat packing industries own many cattle which supply some meat for fast food restaurants. The mcnuggets were introduced and made a huge profit, they were healthier. But he uncovered that they were made of a fat acid profile and more beef then chicken! They cooked them in beef tallow. They contain twice as much fat per ounce as a hamburger. The beef consumption has nearly grown by three times the amount since 1978, maybe even more. Hank was a very hard worker and came out successful.

Chapter 7- Greenly was the home to a meat packing company, and a slaughter house. Crime, poverty and drugs are all around this town. It is extremely hostile. Slaughterhouses are usual brick builds that are four to five stories high. Cattle are usually taken to the top and their head are cut off then, the different parts of the cattle are assembled to different workers. The workers and even the owners could be very racist, they look down upon Mexicans. They would give them the job no one wanted, the hardest job out of everyone’s. And these jobs where not good jobs to have. Many workers that work at slaughterhouses are illegal immigrants! At least a third of the percent can not speak or write in any language. These immigrants would work hard, long, harsh hours for a very low wage pay. Some are even homeless. Slaughterhouses are so dangerous even the air is toxic at points! I believe that the next chapter will be about the workers and the jobs that they have to do.

Chapter 8- Eric, the author now takes a tour though the slaughterhouse, he has to wear rubber boots and hard hats. He will also have to walk though tons of blood. The workers have to wear gloves and suits almost made of armor, it’s that dangerous! There is no talking at all; they are too busy focusing on cutting the meat right. Even with the armor on fingers and arms are lost in the process. Humans are even sometimes caught I the belt of a machine and are ground to nothing! EW! Eric takes you throughout the entire process to pack the meat; it’s very disturbing and disgusting. There are many injuries that occur during this job. Most injuries aren’t even reported! Working at a slaughterhouse as a woman is very dangerous. Women are sexually abused and harassed on the job, constantly. This is not the best job for women. Even throughout these hardships, people continue to work, and never give up! They are extremely hard workers. The next chapter I believe will be about the meat and how it is processed.

Chapter 9- Meat can have very dangerous diseases and infections in it that can make you extremely ill or even kill you. In The United States roughly 200,000 people are sickened by a food borne disease, 900 hundred are hospitalized and 14 die. These outbreaks can happen anywhere at anytime. Even if the meat looks okay is can still be infected. A common infection is //E. coli O157:H7// in fast food restaurants doctors have found poop in their meat! Food poisoning is becoming more common in fast food restaurants. Also there was a huge outbreak of "mad cow disease" where the cows were being fed dirt! Cattle were abused a lot. More abused more dangerous the meat can be. This chapter also explains how cattle are taken apart to make the meat. Sometimes even rats would get mixed up in the machines. The restaurant Jack in the Box had a huge outbreak in food poisoning. This hamburger meat was disturbed to at least 25 states. Concern of health is not important. Fast food at one time was also served in schools. I believe the next chapter will be about the world realizing the truth about fast food.

Chapter 10- The golden arches are huge symbol of McDonalds, which is talked about in this chapter. Also they talk about Hitler and the Hitler youth group. Also about bombs and part of Germany. Also coke products are explained. This chapter is mainly reviewing the entire book. McDonalds has become popular world wide, all around the world and serves millions everyday! Also they talk about how America is a country that people look up to. The author talked about how their is a McDonalds located near a concentration camp from the holocaust. Fast Food Nation has made a huge impact on my decisions of fast food.
