Chew On This!

The book I read is Chew On This by Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson. This book is basically a behind the scenes look at the fast food industry. It talks about how they market towards kids for more profit and overprice menu items. It also talks about employees at fast food places and how in 2000 two McDonalds employees wanted to get payed more for what they do so they fought with the manager, because the manager didn't want to raise the wage. They ended up shutting down that McDonald's and the manager denies it having to do anything with the protest for money but others speculate that it was because of that.

This book was actually interesting and I enjoyed reading it but there were some boring parts. I think the most boring part in the book was when they talked about the farms where they get the animals for food and stuff. Not trying to be rude here but that stuff doesn't really interest me. Then there's the semi interesting stuff like protesting for better wages. That kind of interests me because I like to see people make a change in the world. Then there's the stuff that really gets me hooked which is behind the scenes in restaurants. For example like how they make the food or telling what's in the food and stuff. Or how they overprice the food. But overall this was a good book.
