Fast foood!! Help me out..just asking for your opINION?

Question

im doing an assignment for reading class and its on fast food.

im choosing to say that it is bad for us.

one paragraph i wrote what happens in the slaughter houses and how they have to work consistently and how they kill te animal, its not a gruesome killing though i did put that they shoot them and then hang them by their feet and then the workers slice them. i'm wondering if that was a good thing to put in there, or it has nothing to do with the dangers of fast food.

its a persuasive speech..so ii put it in there to let them know how we get the meat that goes in the hamburger

and its for juniors in high school that im reading it to and my teacher.

thanx! also..wat else could i write about? and i have read fast food nation

Answer 1

nothing to worry about how do they slaughter. the main thing is to wash it before cooking.

Answer 2

First of all, the slaughtering isn't just for the fast food industry. It happens with all aspects of the meat industry. That's a bigger issue. The fast food industry just supports it with all of its marketing of burgers and things. It doesn't really apply to the dangers of fast food, but it's more of a negative aspect. The hard thing about this assignment is that we all know fast food isn't healthy, but people eat it anyway. You want to focus on the health problems, specifics. Try using the evidence from the documentary Supersize Me. That showed how strongly fast food can affect the human body. Focus on how it eliminates the need to cook and how it encourages people to live a more sedentary lifestyle. Hopefully that helps a little.

Answer 3

It has nothing to do with the dangers of fast food.  The animals will be killed the same way regardless of whether Mcdonalds is paying for the meat they are distributing or if the meat is going to some supermarket.  Fast food has nothing to do with how the slaughter house works.  leaving this section in your paper turns it into an issue of animal rights and has nothing  to do with fast food.  

Answer 4

You really need to re-work your ideas and theories regarding this report. First slaughtering happens to all animals processed for food. This has nothing to do why fast food is bad. Fast food is bad due to:

amount of calories per serving with little nutritional value

high sodium levels

high fat content

how easy it is to overeat caloric and fat % wise

low nutrition

Laziness of people in society

lack of education on eating healthy

lack of exercise

Take out the slaughtering info and replace with things that matter. Information. Compare different fast food restaurants fries for fat, sodium, chloresteral, calories, compare shakes, hamburgers, salds. Make a display board woith the info on it. Must better, or just read the comparisons. Explain how much exercise a person must get to burn those calories, how easy it is to reach the daily percentage of calories most people should eat (differnt for men/women) These are things to discuss

Answer 5

The animal cuelty is true in some places, but you should mention how the hydrogenated oils and saturated fats can lead to serious health problems such as obesiety, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.  Good Luck
