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.
