In Chew On This, the authors starts explaining the
history of the hamburger. Then they start describing how restaurants like
McDonald's and KFC were started and how they grew. In the other chapters, they reveal the true ingredients contained in fast food
and talk about how many of these ingredients
lead to Type II Diabetes, heart attacks, obesity and more.
As many young people are concerned about how their actions can
affect not only themselves but also the world as a whole, The authors are quick to point out the impact that the fast food industry has
had on jobs, smaller businesses, and the global economy. They talk more about
the importance of healthy working environments and fair treatment for
workers and explain how places like McDonald's breed underpaid and
overworked employees who often barely last more than three months on the
job. Eric Schlosserand Charles Wilson describe the unsafe conditions of some of the beef
and chicken slaughterhouses that supply fast food restaurants with meat. They also talk about a little-known fact that most of us don't know that there is a danger of poop being in the beef
served at these places.

Bowling for Columbine
The film Bowling for Columbine was actually interesting and I would recommend it for other people to watch. I learned that some documentaries take their topic very seriously. I found interesting in the film that on the news every time someone gets shot it's always the black male and that everyone is scared of the black male, I don't know why they are scared but they are.
Chew on this chapter 1 review
In chapter one i9n the book Chew On This by Eric Schlosser & CHarles Wilson they talk about the first fast food restaurants and their history. They talked about how William Rosenberg dropped out of school at the age 14 and opened up a doughnut shop (Dunkin' Donuts) Some of the people that started the fast food restaurants dropped out of high school. Then some other people started to look at some other persons restaurant and started taking notes and wanted to open more across of America.
