Analysis

==Chapter 1- Carl worked on the farm with his dad but when he got older he moved out and went to california, where he met his wife margaret. Together they bought a hot dog stand but after awhile they got rid of the hot dog stand and bought a drive-thru barbecue restaraunt. I think that the restauraunt will become very successful.==

==Chapter 2- This chapter talks about Walt Disney and Ray Krocs similarities. Also it talks about how they are both geniuses at advertising to children. In the 1980's marketing was aimed at children because they were easy targets, and because they could make their parents buy them fast food. I think its wrong to use children like that because a child can get a parent to do pretty much whatever they want.==

==Chapter 3- This chapter talks about the workforces for the different fast food companies. It says that teenagers are the main people that work in fast food restaraunts. They hire teenagers because they din't need any skills and they will work for low wages. They keep lowing wages for the people that are actually working and are raising them for people that just sit in an office all day. This is just wrong but you see it happen in everyday life, people geting their wages cut in half even though they are working and the people that don't do anything get more money.==

==Chapter 4- This chapter talks about how a little town called pueblo and how it a lot of the differences that it has with calorado springs are disappearing very fast. t also talks about a Little ceasers that is owned by a guy named Dave, he is a former NHL player and he got injured so he couldn't play hockey anymore so he opened a little ceasers. I thnk this guy is very smart to open a restaraunt and didn't just not doing anything with the rest of his life.==

==Chapter 5- A new character is introduced in this chapter his name is J.R. Simplot. The chapter talks all about how he became the number one shipper of potatoes in the west side of the united states. He became this successful even though he dropped out of school. I think he must be very smart and strategic if he can create this huge business when he dropped out of high school when he was younger.==

==Chapter 6- In this chapter schlosser is touring a ranch owned by a guy named hank. Hank is trying to show to schlosser the difference between how people normally raise cattle and how he does it. Another part of the chapter talks about a monopoly between 5 different meatpacking companies. I think its good that hank trys to be different with the way he raises his cattle, and how it keeps his land more fertile.==

==Chapter 7-This chapter talks about how a town called Greeley in Colorado used to have prosperity and labor peace was destroyed when the IBP revolution started. This revolution was started by A.D. Anderson and Currier J. Holman. This ruined the city, the book says " You can smell Greeley, Colorado long before you can see it." Its saying that the smell of the slaughter houses is so strong that you can smell it before you get there. I think this is disgusting, the fact that they are murduring so many animals is so wrong and it needs to stop.==

==Chapter 8-This chapter is about Schlosser visiting one of the slaughterhouses in the high plains. The one that he is visiting is one of the nations largest. This job is considered one of the most dangerous because the workers have to wear 8 pounds of chainmail under their white coats. They have to wear this so that they don't get cut by one of the machines or by one of the other workers. The women that work there also have to worry about sexual harrassment. Basically this job is very dangerous. I think the conditions that these people have to work in are completley disgusting and wrong no one should ever have to work in that kind of a place.==

==Chapter 9- The beginning of this chapter talks about a guy named lee harding that went to a mexican restaurant and got e coli from eating some chicken tacos there, at least thats where he thinks he got it but he actually got it from some hamburgers he had at a barbecue with his family, the place that had manufactured the burgers had an outbreak of e coli. This company had the largest recall of food in history. They recalled 35 million pounds of ground beef. This is absolutely horrible and digusting, all of the people that had to go through food poisening because a factory doesn't know how to keep the place clean and healthy. I think this place should be shut down and never re-opened again.==

==Chapter 10- This chapter talks about how schlosser wanted to visit plauen, germany. He wanted to visit this city because it was the first city to host a Mcdonalds and its also the first city to become nazi's. It also talks about how his most surreal experience was when he was in Las Vegas in 1999. Its says that he spent 3 years researching for this book. I think its amazing that he spent 3 years working on this book. You can tell that he wanted to make sure that he had the correct information.==
