Fast Food Nation Chapter 2 Questions

Discuss the fast food industry's marketing to children and explore the ethics of targeting children, especially as they relate to advertising in schools. To thoroughly address this prompt your response will need to be at least a paragraph long.

I honestly think that the way fast food buisnesses use very good methods to market their products to children because they use strategy and technique that they know for sure will rill in children. They market to children by advertising the toys they put in happy meals and by the advertisements they put on tv with the little cartoons. Most parents/guardians work all day so at the end of the day when their children wants fast foods of course parents are going to feed in and buy it because they are tired from working and being busy throughout the day.

Fast Food Nation-Chapter 1

Intro: How is the 'American world view' embodied in the fast food industry?

A lot of the American culture is reflected on fast foods. Fast food resturants make so much money in a day because we Americans can't get enough of the addicting products fast foods cast on every individual every day.

Chapter 1: What elements of Southern California "culture" contributed to and encouraged the development of fast food restaurants?

Southern California fast food resturants had a lot of advertisement to help guide people to their resturants and I think that those acts motivated people to create bigger and better advertisments that would run world wide and sell to as many people as possible.
