Tracie Campanella Sandra Miller English 090-05A Paper 1 10/28/2013 What I Bring to PPCC For many years I have worked and supported my family in the food service industry.

The law proposed by France in making the fast-food companies to either advertise with healthy food messages or be taxed by 1.5% on their ad budget was a bold but a very reasonable move.
