The Role Of Fast Food In Upton Sinclair's The Jungle

Schlosser mentions advertising Fast Food for kids and how that increases customers coming in. He also mentions the high rates of teenagers working for Fast Food restaurants with little wages and that it distracts them from their education. Schlosser starts a new part of the book where he talks about the food. He starts with the French fries and how it is made by flavor industries and that it puts a lot of potato farmers out of work because of the small number of buyers exerting power over a large number of sellers, a market he describes as “oligopsony”. Schlosser then talks about the IBP revolution, how it changed the meatpacking industry and applying the same labor principle as McDonalds; requiring unskilled workers for low wages.

Firstly, the author discusses how In-N-Out is an over hyped product with nothing to show for all the fans the restaurant has. Olmsted states “The food: Despite its very passionate loyal following, the actual burgers at In-N-Out are not especially good. The very basic, thin fast-food patties housed in generic buns are nearly identical to those at McDonald 's or Burger King.” (Olmsted 1). I don’t agree with the author of the article when he states this. Being an avid fan of In-N-Out I believe that they are by far the greatest fast food restaurant in the Unites states.

“Fast food restaurants have us hooked on to their tasty food. You See a lot of people buying fast food because how good it tastes. Well let me tell you it is not good for your health. Why do fast food places lower their prices because they know people will buy it if it doesn’t cost that much and most people buy it cause that`s how much they can afford”. Fast food places is a way to not cook every week I feel bad for people when I go to McDonald’s and ask them, do you know what you’re eating in they say yes so I ask them, is that burger real such as real beef’ they say yes so I have to explain to them that you’re not eating real beef you’re eating a burger that has a lot of chemicals in it.

According to him, “People who smoke crack know the potential dangers; most people who eat hamburgers don’t”(Schlosser 264). He juxtaposes the example of a drug user and their understanding of the risks associated with their consumption to a fast food consumer . By Schlosser having sympathy towards the audience, he seems to be credible to society that it is not their fault of getting ill through the fast food they consume as well as the diverse problems that the fast food industry has

Therefore, Spurlock’s findings for his one-sided experiment were too exaggerated and not scalable to the general population. Clinical studies were created to prevent Spurlock’s biased style of procedures. In the third case, Spurlock has too broad of an argument, focused on too many subjects, and ultimately did not demonstrate (per the lawsuit) how McDonald’s intended for its customers to eat a McDiet three times a day, every day, and that McDonald’s was aware that the specified regimen was dangerous. Indeed, fast food is harmful to our health when consumed in excess; however, Spurlock’s ceaseless bingeing overstates the good point. Today, we are inundated with information related to life’s dangers, but we should not follow these messages

Those who are not concerned say that Chipotle is generally fresh and has better quality food than many other fast food restaurants. They also believe that the chances of getting food poisoning at a restaurant are slim . Nevertheless, Chipotle was not able to avoid criticism. Earlier this month, a group known as the Center for Consumer Freedom went on the New York Post. There, the group posted an ad that mocked Chipotle by saying, “You can't spell Chipotle without E. coli.” Of course, the victims of the illnesses were not pleased with Chipotle.

Nancy Cohen states that common food safety is overlooked in cooking shows. A lot of the issues she raises mainly involve hygienic practices not performed by the chefs in the shows. She states, “Bare-hand contact contributes to 35% of foodborne outbreaks from restaurants; thus, avoiding bare-hand contact, washing hands, and using gloves are critical steps in preventing foodborne illness” (Cohen). Washing hands is a huge concern to keep bacteria from infecting the food; however, in the show none of the chefs wash their hands before making the food. In the show, the chefs marinated the steaks with their bare-hands.

One of the problematic vagueness was when the author was trying to describe that McDonald's foods are dangerous or unhealthy. For example, the author had an image with the text "Eat Fast, Die Young" which is vague since the readers do not know what causes death. In fact, the image brings several questions: What food makes people die young? Was it the salad? The hamburger?

First in china, the supplier that provide food to MacDonald the food was it date finish and the company must to be aware about the supplier. Second in japan, many number of Japanese consumer found things such as plastic in their burgers which can be solved by regular checking the ingredients of the burger. Finally, in the middle east countries MacDonald cook without fresh oil which leads to big number in obesity percentage so the company need to apply the healthy requirements of the cooking food

Millions of those same frozen hamburgers had already been sold and most likely eaten. The middle of the chapter begins to go more in depth about the deadly germs living within the meat that most people consume on a daily basis. According to the book, foodborne illnesses are now more easily transmitted due to, feedlots, sanitation issues in slaughterhouses, and meat grinders. Although there is mass distribution of meat that may possibly be infected with dangerous bacteria, the government has no political influence on whether or not the meat will be recalled or not. Recalling meat is all up to the company and they most likely won’t recall their meat unless it is a very serious

There are so many fast food restaurants in every town or city, they’re everywhere and the food is prepared and quick so the kids want that because it taste good and the parents buy it because they have no time to make them a meal at home. They may not be able to afford many good foods so their kids buy some junk food or something cheap from a fast food restaurant like McDonald’s. Fast food restaurants are always to blame though or the food companies. The parents keep their children away from that. When the kid asks for it they could simply say no.

Obesity happens because many people tend to consume fast food because it is the easiest option than taking time to make a nutritional meal. Schlosser mentions why people do not care much for healthy options, “Consumers savor the flavor while operators embrace [the] profit margin”(241). That is pretty much saying that the even if they do have a healthier option, it does not necessary mean that it is healthy at all. Another article from natural news mentions what obesity because of processed foods does to the body. The article says that although many people do not eat at any fast food restaurant they can still find processed foods in grocery markets, that

McDonald’s salads, introduced in 1987, make up just 2 percent to 3 percent of U.S. sales” (520). So, a conclusion could be drawn that consumers will and do choose the unhealthy option a majority of the time. However, it does not address the disconnect, or why people are still consuming foods that are unhealthy for them even when given other options. One reason prominently stands out above the rest and that is the lack of education on the real effects the American diet, a highly addictive diet comprised of processed foods, high in sugar and fat, and void of fresh produce and other

Evaluation on Tumbleweed When going to a restaurant a smiling face, knowledgeable staff members, a clean space, and flavorful food is expected.

The cleanliness of Tumbleweed was a huge problem.
