The Decline Of The Fast Food Industry In America

“fast food, the values it embodies, and the world it has made. Fast food has proven to be a revolutionary force in American life. “I” am interested in it both a commodity and as a metaphor” (Shrodes 2012). Eric Schlosser comments on fast food franchises and advertisements where not an overreaction. Fast food has become a plague on the American people. Not only can they be found on every corner, but the advertisements are everywhere. They go out of their way to captivate the attention on just about every race, gender, and age group.
Fast food has become popular and Americans have grown lazy. Hindering society has become a norm for fast food industries over the world. Don’t want to stand in those long lines or wait to be seated, no problem we’ll bring the food to you. All fast food industries deliver. Apps
Almost every facet of American life has now been franchised or chained. (Shrodes) How many stores or franchises can be identified with no recognition of ever visiting the store? According to an article written in 2013 by the Huffington post eight out of ten Americans order take out at least once a month. Four years later one wonders if those facts are still the same. Once a month, more like once a week! Fast food industries have taken over the minds of the children. Now instead of vegetables and healthy foods American children are now convinced that having a happy meal is better than moms cooking. The children now know the Mc Donald’s theme song better than their ABC’S and 1,2,3’S.
The typical American now consumes approximately three hamburgers and four orders of French fries each week. But a steady barrage of fast food Ads, full of thick juicy burgers and long golden fries, rarely mentions where these foods come from nowadays or what ingredients they contain.
