Blog Update 2/6

Welcome back Guys! I have now read 2/6 of the story, Fast Food Nation. Fast food is very important to our economy. Yet they take advantage of us. They post these commercials to hook in young kids and make there parents bring them in. They know parents will cave into a crying child. That is why most fast food joints have a Mascot, or someone of interest to do commercials so you would remember them. Such as Ronald McDonald. Not only do they do that. Some places, Such as Taco Bell or Subway, they make there workers work unreasonable hour and still not get paid overtime. Subway is the worst about this. Underpaid workers, mainly teenagers. Why cant they be like Dave Feamster, Owner of many Little Caesars in Colorado Springs. Work to the top on there own.

Fast Food Nation - 1/6

Hello my fellow peeps! My Name is Harley, From Mr. Dunn's English II. I am here, Entering this vast expanse of the informational highway because i would like to blog about a very interesting book called Fast Food Nation. Fast Food wasn't always a quick run through the Drive Thru. Car Hops would come to take your order then bring you back your food. The first restaurant to have a serve yourself style was McDonald's in 1940. Soon after Burger King and Carl Jr.'s (Hardees) was created. All self serve restaurants were based of McDonalds. This was a Breif Overveiw of the First 1/6 of this book. Come back later for more!
