Fast food has turned into a genuine fundamental of our everyday life and made a religion of establishments that reaches out to the millions of Americans across the country. The Fast Food industry in a few eyes has been one of the sharpest developments this world has seen. It has been driven by our stomachs and our wallets for 40 to 50 years it's as yet developing to this date. The man who make-believe it can be known as the best representative, this nation has ever observed. The Fast Food Industry is big to the point that it has influenced our wellbeing, changed our way of life, and misshaped our territory as far back as the very first moment.

How many of you have eaten fast food this month? I bet it tasted good, but what you didn't know is that you're promoting the production of low-quality food, feeding the obesity epidemic in America. According to recent statistics, of the 16 in this room, 7 will become obese in their lifetime. It's the Bojangles on the way home from school or the McDonalds on when you don't have much time for lunch, but does it really save you time when you die of obesity or cardiovascular disease at a young age.

Eric Schlossers book Fast Food Nation is not only an expose of the fast food industry but also shows how the fast food industry has shaped and defined society in America and other nations as the fast food culture spreads globally. He connects the social order of society to the kind of food it eats and the way it eats that food, and relates fast food to other social processes and institutions. His facts are based on years of research and study, and are presented in and easy to follow narrative. Schlosser is so thorough and convincing in his argument, it's impossible to

Fast Food Nation is a good literary nonfiction book as a result of Schlosser using relevant anecdotes that allow the reader to connect with the working conditions associated with fast food, and by providing a new perspective on the topic

Judging from the title of David Freedman’s “How Junk Food Can End Obesity” published in The Atlantic, Freeman's audience, the upper middle class of America, conjures up an image of a crazy Freedman throwing away every piece of scientific data that shows junk food is hazardous to your health. However, this is not the case. Freedman brings to light a more compromising approach to solving America’s obesity problem. His opinion is that by manufacturing healthier fast food we can solve America’s obesity issue and that his method would be able to be established nation-wide in a cheaper, fast and more effortless way than some other methods proposed. Not all, but the majority of The Atlantic’s audience cares about

North America in the last 15 years has become engulfed in the fast food trend creating enormous individuals. The billion dollar sales of the MacDonald’s burgers have invaded society and now are seen as a daily activity. Not only has the sale of fast food affected people weights the sheer size of each meal also contributes as well. This new concept of “bigger is better” has swept across North America forcing people to buy more fast food that is needed at each visited. I believe that something need to be done to stop this “growing” epidemic.

Many feel that the fast food industry is providing a valuable service by catering to consumer needs; that it is inexpensive and easily accessible. For people who don't have time to prepare meals, for households in which both parents work, there's no question it provides a service. But what is the true cost of this convenience? In the book, Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser reveals that the cost is the lives of the people who work in the meat processing plants. Meat packing is now the most dangerous job in the United States.

This book discusses the fast-food industry and seeks to describe the impact of the industry on the U.S. economy and society. Also, it talks about the guys who has been investigating the fast food industry for many years. From his broad research, he has uncovered an abundance of little-known, frequently unsettling truths about the fast food industry.

The story of the fast food industry and its effect on the world is well told in the book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. Schlosser makes the claim that, what started out as a special treat for the kids eventually ended up defining a way of life. During a brief period of time, the fast food industry has helped transform not only the American diet, but also our countryside, economy, workforce, and popular culture. The book thoroughly describes how important the two factors of money and power are in today's society. The book clearly establishes the broader thesis that as consumers, we should know what we eat even if it makes us uncomfortable by the knowledge.

This is exactly what the truth seeking author, Eric Schlosser, examines when viewing America’s growing fast food problem regarding the quality, conditions, and health of our citizens. His book published in 2001, Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal, discusses and provides evidence of our ongoing dilemma occurring in the United States today. Schlosser argues that the fast food chains and the slaughterhouses/meatpacking industries are run by consumerism and commercialism, two ideals and have become intrinsic to the American identity. Our society is so caught up in the fast food crave that we forget to question

Chlorine is on its own a chemical element of the periodic table as part of the halogen series salts and appears in a green-yellowish gas (Lenntech, 2018). Therefore, chlorine is naturally occurring when extracted from salt. Additionally, chlorine can have many adverse effects on people and the environment. According to NOAA’s CAMEO (2018), chlorine is highly toxic if inhaled, an oxidizing agent (may accelerate combustibles), and is water reactive. Therefore, if exposed in high concentrations, the result could be fatal or cause severe respiratory conditions. Moreover, the Emergency Response Guidebook (2016) recommends response personnel to be equipped with a self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing when responding to chlorine incidents. Essentially, the protective equipment should prevent physical exposure to the chlorine as well as supply response crews with clean air to allow for a proper response to the incident. Lastly, there are many variations of commercial detection equipment available to response crews for chlorine. According to DHS (2007), both the Draeger CDS kit and ChomAir Badge offer a commercial means to detect Chlorine gas is the 0.2 – 0.4 parts per million range. Fundamentally, both chemical detection pieces of equipment identified allow for a

Global influences of the fast food industry are shown in the health problems in society today. The cheap production of meat and grains for the fast food industry cause harm to the environment, humans, and animals. The fast food that is consumed is not only bad for the health of people but also for the environment. As food provides more than just sustenance; it increasingly has come to shape and mediate our understanding of ourselves and our culture.

Chlorine gas was used on a wide scale by the German forces at Ypres in April 1915. In its first uses, chlorine was deadly for soldiers who did not wear gas masks. In the first wide scale attack at Ypres, it was estimated that over 1,100 were killed. The German forces would not be ready for it’s level of effectiveness and they would delay in pressing into the gap formed in enemy lines, which caused them to gain very little ground. The effectiveness of chlorine would soon decline because its appearance and strong odor made it easy to spot. Also, because chlorine is water soluble, solders without gas masks could minimize its effect by placing water soaked rags over their mouths and nose. Releasing chlorine would be another problem because the

Traditionally, the fast food industry has been associated with the cause of this health-related issue (Boyle 2004). Major fast food companies have been called to Federal Government summits to improve the quality of junk food (Wright 2007). While most of these major companies have now taken
