Fast Food Nation, a text by Eric Scholsser, expresses the rise to power of the great fast food chains that we have, fluent, throughout American society today(so far). Though his main topic is how these great corporations came to be, such as McDonalds, Carls Jr., as well as Burger King, an underlying theme is how these rich and powerful franchises have shaped our society today. He speaks of the influence that each some of these business have had on the government in shaping society-in terms of adding freeways and introducing new government policies dealing with the pay of employees-and even how they have negatively impacted those at the top of these large corporations. Schlosser’s informative tone, as well as his seemingly flawless assembly of information through somewhat comedic expression, throughout the reading is the main factor in how he holds and attains the reader’s attention. In the first chunk of the book Eric Schlosser’s main focus seems to be to inform the reader on what, first, needs to be known in order to understand the following information presented in his book. Overall it is written in a informational style, mimicking that of the way someone would speak when talking in a documentary (though this was later out into one I am in NO way referencing it)(I would’ve said this anyway).
What, if there are any in your opinion, are the positives of having the numerous fast food eatery locations throughout America?
How, for better or worse, would society change if there where less, or never any, fast food restaurants? Why?
