Change of Mind: Fast Food



            The fist time I saw this book, I though it was going to be a boring book talking about McDonalds. At the beginning, it was not that interesting but as I started to read more chapters, it caught my attention. It started to change my perception towards junk food. I started to notice how the fast food industry is changing our society. All the marketing they did to get the people buying their food. How they looked for strategies to gain their costumers. Also how they got the teenager and the middle class people as their work forced and the children as their best consumers. On the other hand, there were the most important chapters of the book that change my minds towards fast food. These chapters describe how the beef are pressed. Reading what the cattle eat and also in what conditions they are killed. How many bacteria, the beef can bring is making me think twice before eating food at any fast food restaurant. Many diseases can be caused by eating all this unhealthy food. Personally, I would never eat fast food without thinking what I have read in this book. I do not want to put my health on risk by eating all this food.

  3. I thought it was going to be boring as well. Something like Super-size Me, but i was surprised on how good and informative it was.

  4. The book really made us aware of the real things behind fast foods. I guess I would never look at any fast food the same way ever again.
