Some of these stereotypes consist of: high amounts of traffic, raised gas prices, and elevated housing costs. Traffic in Houston can be explained as an action reaction problem. Houston is a metropolis; it has a large population that needs a bunch of modes of transportation which results in high amounts of traffic. Similarly, New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago have the same problem in one way or another. Gasoline prices are an issue that stretches nationwide; however, Houston is known for its oil refineries as well as crude oil below the ground.
Chick-Fil-A’s chicken sandwiches may be healthier but McDonalds food overall is better. The only thing that Chick-Fil-A has to offer is chicken, chicken, and more chicken. At Mickey D’s, they offer chicken, burgers, salads, and even fish sandwiches. Why go to a restaurant that’s one sided in their food choices (chicken), when you can go to one that has chicken and more? From my perspective, I want variety in my food choices because it’s simply more food to choose from.
It's been reported that there have been at least six kidnappings here in El Paso, Texas, people abducted and taken back over the border.” It becomes evident that there is a constant high level of anxiety and worry in the air, perhaps, even, a feeling of loss of control. Because of El Paso’s close correspondence with Juarez, even in times like these, El Paso city officials still find reason to stay connected to the Mexican city. O’Rourke goes on to say, “the immigration problems that we have today and the nature of our relationship with Mexico that we have today is going to change significantly, and it will be for the worse. And so it really is a national security issue…” Dozens of Juarez shooting victims have been treated at Thomas General Hospital in El Paso at a cost to local taxpayers of more than $1 million. The hospital experienced several lockdowns because of fears that hit men would realize a victim was still alive, cross the border, and try and “finish the
Evidently there is an unequal relationship between the north and south, which could be mainly due to the fact many of the southern countries were owned by the north in the past. The level of consumption differs greatly between the north and south. The northern countries tend to be more developed, with larger and more stable economies, which result in most of the population sustaining a higher standard of living and having more money to spend on goods and services. The north also has an excess of Transnational Corporations which encourage the high consumption levels. Whereas in the south; large percentages of the population cannot afford to buy goods which are not absolutely necessary, as they live in poverty.
The other points are as important but more information needs to be gathered to properly identify and explain each point. Each “ * ” will be explained in the sub-headings below. 3.3.1 Strengths With successful brands such as Earls, Cactus Club, Joeys, and Saltlik, Stan Fuller has created a restaurant empire with a focus a “premium casual” dining.

Although The Front Porch Café and Cuevas Bistro are local favorites, the Front Porch Café turns out to be on top because of its wide variety of entrees, professionally trained staff, and soothing environment. In their menu, service, and atmosphere, both restaurants could not be more different but can be enjoyed all the same. As both of these amazing restaurants continue to serve new and regular customers, there can be nothing less than the great satisfaction of indulging in “out-of-this-world” seafood
Throughout the film a lot of images of obese people are shown. Spurlock shows images of overweight people at the beach, sitting at tables eating, walking around, employees working at fast food restaurants and the people who are interviewed on the street. These images are effective in sparking a conversation on obesity because they show the epidemic in reality instead of just talking about it. It is almost painful to watch these people go about their daily lives. These pictures demonstrate what the viewers of the documentary could look like if they keep consuming food provided by these fast food restaurants.

There are many other changes that both companies are doing to stay competitive with not only each other but with McDonald’s. These include adding a new line of salads for Burger King to Wendy’s offering an Angus burger in an effort to appeal to those consumers that want a better burger. Overall, they are doing a total revamp on how they are doing business, the food products that they serve and making a huge effort to hold on to their loyal customer base, while expanding and picking up new customer base from their competitors. To survive in the industry both of the companies need change, on an almost daily basis. The problem that they are going to run into is simple: have they made the changes soon enough to stay competitive with McDonald’s and will these changes bring back the return on the dollars spent to keep the doors open and the company alive.
