The things you should know about fast food is that its not good for you because it can make you become obese or can give you diabetes. In class we watched "Super size Me" and we are now reading "Chew on This". In "Super size Me", Morgan is going to try an experiment and try to eat McDonald's for a whole month! After living a life of only vegan food, since his wife is a vegan chef, Morgan will try and eat fast food everyday for a month. The night before his big experiment his wife cooks him all the vegan and healthy things she can possibly think of and he has that. In the end of the movie he survives long enough to have all the McDonald's any kid would want, and he only suffered from physical and emotional pain and almost getting diabetes. In "Chew on This", we are reading about who made what restaurant. The people who made McDonald's were the Macdonald brothers, they became rich off the idea and then there came along Ray Kroc who was only in love with money and himself. He decided to become apart of their corporation and once they let him in, it became bad. When they kept making more McDonald's, Ray Kroc told them that they should change one of the names of the McDonald's restaurants and once they did it,not considering what the impact was, they lost business and McDonald's became Ray Kroc's. We finished reading about people thinking Disney got less publicity than McDonald's. Our class didn't think so because everyone knows who Mickey Mouse is rather than Ronald McDonald's. The way it was proven was that Disney came out with its own park and for they grand opening there wasn't a McDonald's in site, and no one complained because they were at the place where dreams came true, Because of this McDonald's and Disney got into a clash but they became friends again and then finally McDonald's was in Disney's theme park.
