Students see more clearly the effects of what is happening at UNO then those at LSU who are more concerned with their personal tribulations around the campus. A poll taken by LSU’s newspaper, the Daily Reveille, showed that out of thirty students on LSU’s campus twenty-nine guessed that there was about a million dollars worth of budget cuts, while only one knew that the real answer was actually sixty-two million dollars (Grillot 2). While LSU students can barely understand the effects of the cuts, UNO students are outraged. This past year UNO students rallied across the campus furious because of a fourteen and half million-dollar budget cut to the university. The protest turned sour when students marched up to chancellor Timothy Ryan’s office with one student punching the campus chief of police.

Business executives of fast food restaurants do not consider the well being of their consumers because that same greed they have, doesn’t allow them to worry about them. In chapter two of the book, “Welcome to Fatland,” there is a focus on how executives came up with different ways to earn more profits and entice customers to buy their products. The best marketing strategy they have developed is “bigness.” Basically, this strategy consists of offering larger quantities to consumers. The cost to the company to produce bigger goods is only slightly different than producing the regular sized, and they could charge consumers a higher amount.
This causes a problem because fruits and vegetables do not stay ripe forever. Therefore many families will buy foods that are able to be froze or have a longer shelf life. These foods are normally processed or unhealthy. Another issue for families that live in a food desert is the money it takes to travel to a grocery store.
