Fast Food Nation

Chap.3
The area of research that I found is on p.60, the cluster of fast food joints that seems to repeat them selves, Burger Kings, Wendy’s, and Mc Donald’s, Subways, Pizza Huts, and Taco Bells. The keep appearing along the road, the same buildings and signage replaying like a tape loop. It relates to my life in the sense that when I am driving along the road, I keep on seeing so many fast food restaurant, I can drive for twenty minutes, pass another fast food cluster and feels like I’ve gotten nowhere.
2) Another area of research is on p.65. The building of large signs to attract motorists and look at cars the way predators views herds of prey. The chains thrive on traffic, and put new restaurants at intersections where traffic is likely to increase and where development is heading. It relates to my life in the way that fast food restaurants are every where and the prey on us. When a Mc Donald’s opens, other fast food restaurants soon open nearby on the assumption that it must be a good location.

In chap.7 the area of research that I found is the increase of hamburgers that Americans eats now has lead to industrialization of cattle-raising, and meatpacking over the past two decades has completely altered how beef is produced and the towns that produced it. It relate to Americans in general because responding to the demands of the fast food and supermarket chains, the meatpacking giants have cut costs by cutting wages. They have turned one of the nation’s best- paying manufacturing jobs into one of lowest-paying job in America.

Another area of research is the meatpacking industries eliminating the skill workers and employing the de-skilled workforce. It relates to all of us because we still see it going on today. The Mc Donald’s uses the same system that the meatpacking industries use, that is disassembly line to making hamburgers and also to cut wages and make more profit.
