Much detail is provided in regards to the chemical flavoring of the food, cattle and chicken farms, the working conditions, the dangers of eating the meat and the rapidly growing fast food industry. As the book opens, it discusses how the veterans of the fast food industry came to be in so-cal. Some of those discussed were the brothers of McDonalds and Carl Karcher. At the time of the rise in the fast food industry is a time when one of Disney’s most prominent figures Ray Kroc was having complicated relationships with the McDonalds brothers as they were all rising to fame. Schlosser goes into detail about the methods of a marketing and advertising to children. The authors’ main focus of study while conducting his observations was Colorado Springs, CO. Eric observes the employees of the fast food industry, turnover rates. He believes through his study that the fast food industry employs the largest rate of minimum wage workers. In the second portion of the book, it begins to go into detail on the chemical substances contained in the food arguing that this is what makes the food taste so good.

An industry that began with a handful of modest hot dog and hamburger stands in Medan, Jakarta, Bandung, and other cities has spread to every corner of the nation, selling a broad range of foods wherever paying customers could be found. Erik Schlosser (American investigative journalist) states that: “Fast food is now served at restaurants and drive-throughs, airports, zoos, high schools, elementary schools and universities, on cruise ships, trains and airplanes, K-marts, gas stations and even hospital cafeterias.” This trend is sustained by the innovative ways in which marketers target the ever growing sector of the food market. Twenty five years ago, only a handful of Indonesian companies directed their marketing at children. Today children are being targeted by phone companies, clothing stores and restaurant chains as well. The growth in children’s advertising has been driven by efforts to increase not...

...Fast food Fast Calories One of the basic strategies of food companies is availability. There are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S. alone. In our society the normal typical Friday outing would be taking the family to a fast food joint and getting a burger meal and providing the kids a happy meal. Having a full fast food meal has become something weekly to the average family today. Every month almost nine out of 10 American children visit a McDonald's restaurant. The fast-food industry has always been a controversial topic, because of all the toxins and health issues such as diabetes and heart disease. Some people say that the solution is to get rid of the fast food companies, yet is that truly a proper solution? Should all the blame be put on the companies or should the people be blamed for making bad decisions? Fast food companies provide relatively delicious, unhealthy food that are too tempting to be avoided; people irresponsibly eat too much of it causing them to blame the companies for their sick bodies. One main strategy that aids temptation is the use of images to increase the consumption of unhealthy food. We are showered with plenty of ads that easily brainwash us and persuade us into buying. Because the burger is perfectly put together, the fries look perfectly salted and at the best temperature, and the coke has the perfect amount of ice, the advertisement does nothing but make you imagine how good a bite, or sip would taste like. The food industry...

...Chapter 1 The Problem and Review of Related Literature Introduction Fastfood is a growing business centralized on the idea that not everyone can cook. There are days, especially when there is work overflow that people tend to forget that they have enough tools in their own kitchen therefore they opt for the easier solution which is to purchase from establishments that sell cooked food. A fastfood follows a standard time, from taking the orders of the customers until the food has been served. People have always enjoyed eating good food and it has become a challenge for fastfood chains to come up with menus that will provide food which will be appreciated by their targeted consumers. Fastfood differs from a restaurant in terms of service and food. When ordering food from a fastfood establishment, an individual has to fall in line at a counter to order, which is the beginning of the process. On the other hand, when diners go to a restaurant, they are seated and a server is present to take the order of the customer. In terms of food, fastfood offers food which doesn’t usually take a lot of time to prepare and is significantly of lower cost compared to the food served in a restaurant. According to the review of “Food Service Industry in the Philippines” (2010), fastfoods requires more than just good food. Though important, good food is only a part of the total dining experience. Equally important is believed to be the way people feel while in the...

Modern society with piles of work pushes people to be busy at any time, especially businessmen and officials. Even students are also up to ears with exercises and examination. Fast food, therefore, becomes a popular choice of many people. By coming to restaurants, which sell fastfood, the customers are quickly served; they can save a lot of time to do other things instead of cooking at home or waiting for the meal to be cooked at restaurant. In addition, cooking at home, means you need to buy food in the super market, clean vegetables, prepare things ready to be cooked,...

...much. INTRODUCTION Company Profile Edgar Sia II, then 20 years old, took the entrepreneurial path when he founded Mang Inasal and began its operations in Iloilo City, Philippines on December 12, 2003. The restaurant initially offered chicken inasal to its clientele which was well-received by the Ilonggo people. As time went on, it offered more Filipino-inspired cuisine to the mass market. As such, the driving force behind Mang Inasal’s exponential growth lies in its uniquely Filipino food offerings, its value for money and its serving of unlimited rice for customers. All these factors add up to create Mang Inasal’s distinct brand identity, which has led to its becoming one of the country’s fastest growing fastfood chains. Fast forward to seven years later, the company currently has 223 branches around the country, with its management aiming to expand to 500 branches by the year 2012, with a hundred new stores...

Globalization raises awareness of both domestic and foreign culture, which in turn could help prevent prejudice and conflicts that may arise from cultural misunderstanding (Tandon, 2004). Evidence could be seen that even though, our world is in the stage of globalizing, there are still many religious conflicts. Imagined what would happen if globalization does not take place, you might unintentionally offended someone either by words or actions, thus leading to cultural misunderstanding. Though some people might argue that globalization post threats to cultural diversity, but “the forces of globalization are actually encouraging the proliferation of cultural diversity” (Lynton, 2007).
