Chapter 8 Fast Food Nation

This book keeps on getting more interesting as it goes on. The text is really making me turn against eating fast food. Although it tastes good it is gross. This chapter was mainly about the safety restrictions in the beef producig plants. It is just sad to know what some people went through just trying to support thier families.

The chapter was filled with things i didnt want to hear. For example it talks about how if a worker got hurt while working the company would tell them not to report that they got hurt. Why would you do that? If i was a worker there i would report it and hope the company got shut down. The workers are already getting paid at an extremly low rate for how many hours they put in and the risk of the job. Those people put thier lives in danger just so they would continue to be paid for work. To me that isnt fair to the workers. They deserve to be treated like normal people and not slaves. I sometimes wonder if companies are still doing this to keep the safety inspectors away for the plants.
