Second blog post


The most interesting source I have found is a book by Eric Schlosser by the name of “The Dark side of the All-American Meal”. I found the source to be interesting because I have always wondered how fast food is made and if it is really bad for us or why our parents always wanted us to stay away from it. I haven’t had time to read the whole book but from what I have understood the book explains the details about the fast food restaurant industry and its food and how it is really made and it talks about the amount of money that is wasted on it when it is really not worth it in my opinion. When I started reading this book online it attracted me immediately because it was mentioning facts about how much money is spent on the fast food industry, the numbers were shocking and it made me settle on thinking about the title of my assignment.

During my research I realized that it would be more interesting if I talked about fast food facts and to focus on trying to keep people away from fast food restaurants and I will be looking for other sources that I could find that would help me find healthier food that I could grab right off the shelf and that I could replace with and I would also be helping myself on keeping a healthier diet and I would get personal advantage from completing this assignment. At the beginning of the assignment I placed the title as ”Eat Healthy to Stay Healthy” but I think I would like to change it to “I Wonder Why it’s so Cheap” because that is a question I’ve always asked myself.

The only challenge I think I will be facing is that I am not a fast reader and I think that most of the sources I am going to find will be long sources and it might take a while to read the chapters I am going to be researching about. I think that if I start looking for shorter articles and start checking out some magazines then I would make this assignment easier to deal with and the only advice I would give to my peers is get your read on!
