Eric Schlosser Review

The most important thing I learn from Eric Schlosser’s speech was when he said that the food we eat determine how we are going to live, whether to live or to die. He also said that he didn’t write the Fast Food Nation for people to hate fast food or to think like him rather he wrote it for people to educate and think for them selves because knowledge is power. He points out that the fast food mentality is uniformity and control and Ray Kroc is a good example of that method. He also said that the McDonald brothers brought the factory method to the kitchen there by making money by taken advantage of the poorest workers and fought against union. Eric Schlosser ended his speech with a quote “Once there is seeing there must be acting, otherwise what is the important of seeing”. That means we as a society should do our part by not buying foods from those fast food restaurant that treat their workers poorly.
