Fast Foof Nation Chapter 4&5

This reading was quite an eye opener because of the stories that were told about the people. The story that caught my attention the most was in chapter 4. The begining of chapter 5 was interesting because it gave a inside story on how things from small towns have a big effect on things.

When chapter 5 starts off it tells of the potatoes that the fries are made out of. The people of my home town can relate to this type of situation. We had a potatoe plant here and it was about the same size as the one in Idaho. We may not have had as much production but we still had the connections to the chains of food places.

In chapter four i found the steps to becoming and owner in a franchise was a strenuous process. When it explained how Kroc sold people into becoming a franchise owner i was dumbfounded. Who would have thought that you would have to pay the boss you work for every year just so you could work for him? In some fastfood chains you had to pay 15,000 dollars a year just to ouw part of the franchise. i think that is a little ridiculou myself. If i was going to be a franchise owner i would object to paying my boss.
