Eric Schlosser

In listening to Eric Schlosser speech i found many things interesting. I found out that this story came about after an assignment Rolling Stone wanted him to do about fast food. They wanted Eric Schlosser to go behind a fast food counter and see how the food was made. He didn't want to take on the assignment because he loved fast food, but after finding out all the interesting research he took on the assignment. He started to need to know the other side of fast food; to make the people think and ask questions. One thing i thought was interesting was that cutting the poorest people pay out of 50% made the success of fast food. One other interesting fact was that in the 70's employees had to take a lie detective test to see if they wanted a union , majority ruled they would shut the restaurant down. The most interesting thing i found out was that every 3 months someone is getting fired or quitting and owners don't care because they know its easy to find another.
