Going to fast food restaurants to prove his theory about how horrible fast food restaurants are for the human body. After going to a few restaurants David found that many employees at the establishments asked him "Would you like to super size that?". The super size option available is excessive amounts of food and drinks that people do not need in a single sitting for their breakfast, lunch, or dinner regardless of the circumstances. Zinczenko had a diet consisting a lot of the time fast food as a young child growing up and claimed that "by age 15, I had packed 212 pounds of torpid teenage tallow onto my once lanky 5-foot-10 frame." Sadly many Americans these days depend on fast food throughout their daily lives whether it is between not knowing how to cook, its fast easy
They’re rich and powerful. They promise good quality food at their restaurants, but instead their food harms others. Ads produced by fast food chains completely wash kid’s minds, making them believe some of the most ridiculous things. Workers that process they’re meat are taken advantage of and abused. Cattle that are slaughtered for their meat are fed each other’s manure.
In the novel One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich the main character, Ivan Denisovich also known as Shukhov is wrongfully convicted and is thrown in the Gulag. Throughout the novel he shows the skills needed to survive in the Gulag, his deep pride was one important attribute which allowed him to do so. Without Shukhov’s deep pride, he would not have survived the Gulag. The Gulag was a tough and demoralizing place, without anyone to help, all you had was yourself, and your pride. Shukhov was very hard working man, taking pride in all the work that he did.
The author analyses many aspects of this industry, from the inhumane treatment of the cattle in their feedlots to the overworked and underpaid employees at fast food restaurants. I believe that the fast food industry has used its political influence as a way of circumventing issues of health and working conditions, while greatly increasing profits and expansion. Although part of the industry's functions is to sell their products, I think the consumers play a large role in their profits to keep these restaurants in business. During a brief period of time, the fast food industry has helped transform not only the American diet, but also our countryside, economy, workforce, and popular culture. One of the parts of the American culture that are affected by the fast food industry, the idea of raising our children comes to mind.
Meat inspection is a part of everyone's daily lives, they eat meat at breakfast, lunch and at dinner, and the things put into the meat we consume daily is horrifying. “ Meat would be stored in great piled in rooms; and the water from the leaky roofs would drip over it, and thousands of rats would race about on it.” (Upton , Sinclair. "The Jungle." Viking Press 1905) 6000,000 is exactly what is needed to put these horrifyingly disgusting things behind us. Children from 5 to 18 in factories, coal mines, glass factories, textiles, agriculture, home industries, canneries and other horrible jobs.
Sherladrein Harris After seeing Food Inc it left me in shock. Seeing how animals are treated just so people can eat. The thing that stood out to me the most was the fact that you could even die from eating meat that comes from unhealthy animal. What frightened me the most was seeing what happened to Kevin – his death. Many people in the world eat meat – such as hamburgers- for lunch and dinner every day, yet I have never heard of someone dying from food poisoning.

In his article, “Don’t Blame the Eater” (New York Times, November 23, 2002), David Zinczenko asserts that fast food industries need to manage the weight because it is leading to obesity among people who are visiting them. He begins with his personal experience; how he used eat from fast food places. Zinczenko’s parents were split, mom was working long hours a day, and he was fed on fast food every day twice. The author uses statistic and example as an evidence to prove the down side of fast food industries therefore; the reader can understand and have sympathy for him. Initially, Zincenko is declaring that fast food companies are contributing to obesity because of lack of alternatives.
"Heatstroke with a Side of Burn Cream" I found "Heat stroke with a Side of Burn Cream" to be a funny and animated story but especially realistic only because I’ve worked in a restaurant before and I can relate to almost everything said in the essay. I worked at Wendy's for a whole year which was probably the most miserable year of my life. Being a restaurant employee has to be one of the most stressful and distasteful jobs for anyone. I can relate to the story in so many ways, from remaking orders to rushing to make orders, not only are you faced with angry customers who crave burgers and demands five star service, you're also faced with lazy
The article, "The battle against fast food begins in the home" by Daniel Weintraub, explains how people are blaming McDonalds and other fast food restaurants such as Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Starbucks, and Pizza Hut for their obesity. The author disagrees with the blaming that people are doing. I also disagree. People are blaming and sueing the fast food restaurants for the decision they have made of being unhealthy. They are making comments such as, "The problem of obesity is so staggering, so out of control, that we have to do something."
