There has been a time when watching tv, suddenly a fast foor advertisement comes on and catches your attention. Automatically your mouth starts to water for the perfect, fresh looking, neat burger. You make a trip to the restauraunt and to your dissatisfaction your handed and messy, greasy burger that doesnt resemble the commercials version at all.
This happens all the time to people. These large fast food corporations target their consumers by portraying a delicious product, but they fail to convey the same look when you go to purchase it. Fast food is exactly what it sounds like...fast! The ad's are made to trick your mind into thinking your getting good quality food fast and cheap.
Employess don't care how they assemble your food, as long as they have you got of the driveway quick and easy to serve the next person. The main problem is that while there are few people who will demand a refund or their food to be remade, but the majority of us will still eat the sloppy food anyway.
"In SUPER SIZE ME, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a “McDonald’s only” diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it is horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death. “For 30 days, Morgan Spurlock consumed nothing but food from McDonald’s, an experiment in bad living that frames a jaunty critique of junk gastronomy and corporate power. Like a thinner, less aggressive Michael Moore, the director talks to consumers, experts and food-industry flacks, weaving alarming statistics about rampant obesity with visits to the doctor and double-quarter-pounder-with-cheese combo meals. The film is an entertaining statement of the obvious, though its big questions — do corporations serve our need or enslave our bodies and soul?, are public health problems caused by capitalist rapacity or personal choice? — are not as simple as Mr. Spurlock would have us believe.” — A. O. Scott, The New York Times
Michael’s dad wanted to do something special for his son. Michael had just gotten a straight A report card and it was a special occasion in the house. The family did not often go to fast food restaurants; Michael’s mom knew that fast food was not the best as a diet for her child. His dad thought it would be okay as a treat, so he drove through Jack in the Box and got three burgers. Michael thought the meat was a bit red, but his dad told him it was fine. Later that night, Michael’s parents had horrible stomach pains. By morning they had passed. They had been in too much pain to check on Michael. In the morning he did not come downstairs. They went up to check on him. He was holding his stomach in pain and his bed sheets were covered in bloody diarrhea. His parents quickly rushed him to the hospital. But it was too late. Michael had a heart attack on the way to the hospital and died. The doctors ruled that this had been a case of E. coli O157:H7 food poisoning. An innocent child’s life lost, due to one hamburger.
