I mean 40 points, not 4. Also don't forget to cite two page numbers in
your discussion. Also - check out the intro.

i have to say even though i don't necassarily agree with the food
conditions of todays fast food restaurant, i applaud these
entrepreneurs. For the simple fact that they were able to take
something such as buying a hot dog stand, (pg.15),'Carl thought ,after
buying the cart,"I'm on my way."' Then they expand to something in
which they have beautiful ladies, with similar qualities, wearing
bright costumes,and catering to a person's food needs. Attracting
bunches of teenage boys who not only were hoping to get lucky but were
swooned into buying food as well, whether they were hungry or not.
However, these women were soon terminated from a restaraunt's
requirements as entrepreneurs began to look for ways to sell more food
in a more efficient way, began to revert to a factory like way of
making food. They would teach specific people how to do one skill over
and over again, making them replaceable if anything were to go wrong.
There was also the demand from the company owners to have everything
taste the same where ever it was sold, and the desire to expand this
supposed success. So far it has proved pretty efficient considering
how successful Mcdonalds has been in all aspects of the word.

In the beginning of FFN, I was wondering what does the Cheynne
Mountain have to do with food? But after i continued reading I grasped
the concept of how it was all tied together.I really found it amazing
was that while at this secluded government facity Domino's was
available for delivery, when its sometimes hard to get the to deliver
a pizza in some parts of Memphis! Lastly I TOTALY AGREE with this book
about people having fast food 3(+) times a week, making these fast
foood places richer and richer, and diffusing these pre packaged,virus
infected foods part of the pop culture of America.
