Analysis+and+Prediction

Chapter 1: The Founding Fathers My thoughts was that McDonalds have been around for decades. I liked the fact that i got to find out who founded it, Richard and Maurice McDonald. I liked the fact that i got to find out who all the people were who made all of these fast food chains today. The main one who started it all is Carl N. Karcher. I think in the next chapter it will talk about all the different people that America's youth has come to love and talk about toys, games, etc.. that have become our trusted "friends"

Chapter 2: Your Trusted Friends My thoughts was that i liked that I found out about Ronald McDonald being born becasue kids were the main consumers at this time. Especially with DisneyLand/World opening up and being created. So I had a really good reaction to that becasue I love Ronald McDonald myself. I also liked the fact that PlayLand was founeded in McDonalds. They also started selling drinks like "coke" there now. My prediction for the next chapter is that it will talk alot about teenagers working behind the counters at these fast food chains.

Chapter 3: Behind the Counter My reaction to this was suprised becasue alot of the "white" population left during 1998 becasue of being republicans. I mean they left the sunny state of California to go to the Rocky Mts. My other reaction was that teenagers sure do get worked a whole lot, we dominate the fast food chains/retail becasue we do pretty much accept anything becasue we are young an inexperienced. My prediciton is that the next chapter will talk about all these fast food chains really becoming extremely successful in the U.S., around the world, an in our economy.

Chapter 4: Success My thoguhts were happy because it talked about when Little Casears was made and Little Casers is my favorite pizza place. I also liked the fact that i found out when Subway was founded and who it was founded by. My reactions to the franchising was that it's smart that you can defintley make alot of money off of it but you defintley have to be willing to put alot of money/work in it to get it. My prediction for the next chapter is that it's going to be about why all the fast food chains fries taste good. I think that they are going to explain how they make them.

Chapter 5: Why the Fries taste good My thoughts were that I thought it was very interesting to see who founded Idaho potatos and that McDonalds was the main fast food place to start selling them. I also saw how they make these fries, very unhealthy. My reaction on how they test most of their food by using babies taste-buds was very interesting. My prediciton for the next chapter is that a local ranch will make a whole lot of money off of the fast food chain.

Chapter 6: On the Range My thoughts on this chapter was that it talked alot about McDonalds makin deals with Ranches and buying their cattle to make their burgers. An then them also buying alot of poultry farms to make alot of their chicken nuggets an alot of their other chicken products. My reactions to when Hank killed himself was curiousity because why would he do that he had everything that he could ever want and he seemed very happy but I guess looks can be very decieving. My prediction for the next chapter is that this is where slaughterhouses start to really come about and make money.

Chapter 7: Cogs in the great machine My thoughts on this chapter was that it talked alot about slaughterhouses and how much money/work it takes to run it. My reactions were really good when I found out that working at these places paid good money so people could feed their families and make a living. My prediction on the next chapter is that it will talk about how dangerous it is to work at these slaughterhouses.

Chapter 8: The most dangerous Job My reactions to what these people have to go throuhg at these slaughterhouses was that it was down right disgusting. Who wants to have blood being poured on them all day. Not also mentioning the trauma that they can get from working at these jobs. It's horrible, so I was defintley happy when I saw that people were starting to sue the slaughterhouses for their injuries. My prediction for the next chapter is that it will talk about what's in all rhis meat that we are eating.

Chapter 9: What's in the meat My thoughts on this chapter were that meat is very tricky an you defintley have to make sure that you clean/cook it properly or you defintley could get E.coli which sadly can kill you. It mainly kills kids under the age of 5, and the elderly. My reactions to that is that it is very sad. My prediction for the next chapter is that people are starting to realize that fast food is very unhealthy for you and that you shouldn;t eat it all the time.

Chapter 10: Global realization My thoughts on this chapter were that i thought it was very smart for McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, etc.. to move/exand thier compaines overseas. So my reaction to that is good becasue i would like to be able to go over to Germany and still eat or order some Wendys
