Reading the book Fast Food Nation put a lot more thoughts into my head about fast food. After reading over it I was shocked to read about all the different and nasty things that happen with the sanitation of the meat. I did not know that rats fall into the meat that I eat. I also did not know that when I eat a burger I have a high risk of becoming sick because of the way that the cattle are kept. Ever since I started reading the book I have also looked closer at all the advertising that the fast food restaurants have. And I noticed that things like that do get people addicted to it. For example, I find myself becoming too lazy to make a meal, or too impatient to wait for food to be cooked so when I see a commercial on McDonalds I jump up and get myself a burger. I think that every time I am in a fast food restaurant now I will start to think of all the different things that happen to the meat before it gets into the food that I order. Hopefully reading this book will now help me have a better reason to stay away from fast food places and just wait for home cooked meals to be made.
I know what you mean, sometimes I get too lazy to cook as well, or im simply too busy.
ReplyDeleteI was very shocked to read about all of the disgusting things.
ReplyDeleteI am actually to lazy to bother getting up and going to the fast food restuarant. The kitchen is so much closer....
ReplyDeleteTrue, advertising does make us want to buy a burger, but now we are more open minded about what it takes for us to have that burger. Kibd of makes you think twice about eating it.
