This website, posted by Forkitude, talks about how, "Sysco requires their produces to carry at least $4 million in insurance so that sysco doesnt have to worry momentarily if there is an E. Coli outbreak in the spinach they are distributing because they will be able to refund their customers with the insurance proceeds" (website). These companies put so much money into their insurance policies that they do not have to worry about getting the consumer sick because they will be able to pay them off with their millions of dollars. The author states with which i agree that its all about money$$$$$. These companies only care about getting their food into the consumers hand and getting the consumers money in theirs. People need to be "concerned about their meat and where it is coming from" (website). Most people do not research the quality of grocery stores meat let alone where the companies are getting it from. Our nation has mass amounts of meat and its pretty darn good, but we need to be careful about where we buy it from.

Margarita Tartakovsky writes about how most people are worried about what they are eating. She gives an example of a lady in a coffee shop asking the worker how many calories are in a danish. The worker responds by saying, "400"(website). There was a day when everybody ate for taste and enjoyed what they were eating without worrying about how many calories were in their food. She talks about how europeans dont watch the calories they eat and how they are still thinner and "healthier" than Americans are today. Tatakovsky writes about how she wishes for a perfect food world where no one cared about the amount of calories and enjoyed what they were eating.

This website talks about the fast food nation that we are living in today. The author talks about how buying fast food is so routine and how we dont even think about it anymore. We walk in, stand in line, read the colored lit up menu, order, hand over some cash, and watch teenagers push some buttons and out comes a tray with colored paper wrapping our food. The fast food industry has grown so rapidly mainly because the basic hourly wage has slowly and steadily declined for the last 20 or so years. Minimum wage just is not enough to support a family let alone one individual, so these people are forced to buy fast, cheap, food that is not the slightest bit healthy.
