Fast Food Nation (the movie)

I just finished wacthing the movie, "Fast Food Nation" and I was very disturbed and I could not believe my eyes when I watched this movie. The movie was not on the whole book (the book is two parts and the movie was on the second part). The movie showed the meat factory and how the workers and the meat are treated within the factory.  The workers and the meat are both treated with no respect. There is so many germs within the factory and the workers do wear golves and helmets, but that does not stop the workers from getting cut from the machines or the knives they use to cut the meat. I have not decided if I am changing my focus on the workers in the meat factory or keeping to my original topic about Americans and fast food. This movie shows the viewers inside the meat factory and was a good movie, but if you want to watch it I will warn you it is violate and there is a reason the movie is rated R. This movie turned around my views about fast food.

Further into Fast Food

I am still trying to decide how I am going to write this paper.  There is some many ideas I have, and some much I can talk about I need to figure out a way to organize and condense my information.  I really want to interview 3-4 people about how they feel about fast food, do they eat fast food (how often), and why they think Americans today rely on fast food today. I hope to start on those and put it on my blog soon (probably start it this week and hopefully get it on my blog by Easter break).  I think it would be cool to interview people and see there point of view.  I also would like to have someone try eating just fast food for a few days, but I will have to find someone to complete this task.  I really am intrigued by this topic and I hope I can pull off a good paper.  With the help from my friends and family, and the research and reading I do, this paper could be interesting and a good paper to end this semester.

My PI Essay

My tab for my PI essay is on the side of my page. Just wanted to let everyone know just in case people could not find it. =)

Fast Food Nation

I read the book Fast Food Nation, but I did not know there was a movie made based on the book. Here is the trailer and I do plan on watching the movie to see how it compares to the book.

Super Size Me

As I continue to research about fast food and obesity I found a trailer for Super Size Me.  This movie was very interesting and shows how people today have fast food every day; they depend on fast food. Here is the trailer of Super Size Me which explains about the movie.

Brainstorming my Thoughts

I have a few ideas on what I want my paper to include, but I do not know exactly what style or how I am going to approach this paper.  In my economics class in high school I read the book Fast Food Nation and watched the movie "Super Size Me."  I want to somehow include both the book and the movie.  The book talks more about how fast food started and the movie is more about how fast food is bad for you.  I am thinking about starting my paper off about how the food fast chain started and then go into how Americans see it today; how everyone eats it almost everyday since it is quick and cheap.  As I research more I hope to figure out the style and angle I will write this paper.  Fast food has grown throguhout the years, and is getting bigger as more years past. There is not anyday when you go out of your house that you do not see at least one fast food place.
