To function properly, you need to eat enough meals per day to have the energy to do typical everyday tasks such as working at your job. One problem with these meals is due to a busy schedule, home-cooked meals that are specifically healthy and nutritious may not be offered for reasons regarding low income, inability to purchase healthy ingredients, or lack of a family member with enough time to cook. Because of this problem, people in the United States and many other parts of the world rely on fast food, because it is fast, easy, and convenient for the general public. Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, discusses the problems with the fast food industry and argues that Americans should change their nutritional values, take an interest in where certain foods come from, and understand what low-paid workers experience. Schlosser discusses the public and monetary consequences of the fast food industry, moving closer to the production process on farms and slaughterhouses. He is also troubled by our nation's fast food habit, and the reasons Schlosser sees fast food as a national plague have more to do with the sheer presence of these things in the way they have seeped into nearly every aspect of our culture. His argument against fast food is based on the fact that "the real price never appears on the menu." The "real price", according to Schlosser, goes from the abolition of small businesses, to the dispersion of pathogenic germs, to the abuse of workers, to the speeding up of urban routes, to the creation of a group fatter and less fit than ever. Schlosser firmly bases these claims on the countless facts, information and data he has accumulated. He has thoroughly researched the far-reaching effects of fast food, the Aston... middle of paper... with its useful features, warns of the risks of making a fuss about its profits. Stephen Budiansky, a local food advocate, told the newspaper four years ago that numerous groups in their association have provided vague/false evidence about vitality being protected through abundant local crops. He stated that the amount for the energy source was mandatory for the transportation of crops across the nation as a minor percentage of the entire mandatory energy source for harvesting the crops. Overall, as we can see, many groups of people, as we can understand from our sources, have different opinions regarding where food comes from, whether it is all natural or whether it is processed food with a lot of chemicals mixed with it. Schlosser believes that in both situations both positions pay in case of low income and that both practices are in one way or another dangerous.
