Fast Food Nation: Chunk 2

The second chunk of Eric Schlosser’s text, Fat Food Nation, is just as interesting and entertaining as the first. With this part of the book he pieces together the history of where the foods used in the fast food industry originate from. The main feel of the read is someone is telling you a story passed down from earlier generations. In the most basic sense, this part of the text is an entertaining, as well as informative, anecdote. He presents information, in this section, that many people may not have known, in a chronological order that follows the life of the producers of the products of fast food. All together it is an interesting read that supports the idea that American culture in society is based off of trends set up by the advertisers and fast food industry.

What would change if fast food was marketed toward adults?

How would society be different if fast food chains were only state wide? Why?
