In the book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser he brings up three points that I thought were significant in the book. He talks about how “the organization cannot trust the individual; the individual must trust the organization” (p5). On page 172 he also talks about the slaughterhouses are not safe places for people to work. Schlosser also talks about what and how these animals are being feed and made bigger.
I think that the connection between the three things that stood out to me the most was what some of these companies do behind our backs. They feed animals other animals and other harmful thing; but this benefits them. Therefore many of these companies want the customers to trust them rather than the other way around. This way they can do whatever they want with the food and know that the customers won’t know. Also many people get hurt when it comes to producing the food. These slaughterhouses are not safe places.
You have a fine mind and really like the connections you made in the second paragraph. it was very shocking to hear some of the examples you gave. However the first paragraph confused me. It would expand your post if you explain each idea into separate paragraphs then make the connections in the final 4th paragraph. I didn’t get a full understanding on who the organizations where and who the individual was. I did however see that you made a connection on what was deliberately being hidden from us by corporations from these three factors. A slight expansion of the post will improve the message to the reading audience.
