FFN

Reading Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser was a great learning experience. There were many things I wasn’t aware of. Before reading the book all I knew was that hamburgers where good and that is about it. I didn’t know how the fast food industry worked. I learned about how they advertise which I found really interesting. I also learned about different industries that are affected by the fast food industry. What surprised me the most where the slaughterhouses. I never knew that they were so dangerous. I personality love fast food but I try not to eat it a lot. After reading the book I will probably eat a little less fast food for a couple of weeks but then forget about what I learned. I have to think twice because what scared me the most is the diseases that animals have. I found chapter 9 very interesting and also very scary. That was the chapter that made me think twice about what I consume. The e-coli bacteria is something I never want to come near. Before this book I never really knew anything about fast food and now I do. I am more informed about the industry. I will always love junk food and I don’t think I am going to change but it is very good that at least now I know more about the meat and where it comes from.
