Fast Food Nation Chapter 4

Some of the legal issues that fast food franchises have been involved were inflated prices charged by suppliers, terminations and bankruptcies that seemed unfair.

Fast Food Nation Chapter 3

I dont think they are unionized by the fact that Fast Food restaurant's workers are mostly teenager, people that didn't graduate or imigrants that are willing to accept to work in any kind of condition, wether their being treat fear or not, because they need this job to be able to sustent their families. Even if they tried this get harder because this are big corporations with power, the power that the workers need to unionize.

Fast Food Nation Chapter 2

In my opinion fast food industry's marketing to children is a great idea, because they are pointing to the right direction, parents don't really have time to decide were they want to eat, kids are able to manipulate their parents, if you ask me if this is ethical i would say yeah is their company and they would do whatever it takes to bring money to the table. In this days targeting childrens is really commun, Mc.Donalds giving toys in their happy meals, and Burgerking, and others.

Fast Food Nation Chapter 1

Intro:This book explain how Fast Food have become really common for American people, and how is growing more and more.
What elements of the southern California "culture" contributed to ans encouraged the development of fast food restaurants?
I think imigration was one of the biggest elements that contribute to the development of fast food restaurant, with more people needing work for cheap, and people willing to pay for fast food.
