Its odd, but for the most part I hate McDonalds and yet, I eat there sometimes. What could possible pull me into their doors?
The Dollar Menu.
Its horrible but this sort of thing completely works on me. Plenty of other places do this and it works on me!
See!!
Horrible!!
Anyways, I understand all the horrible implications of this though. Reduced prices means quality cuts. This often means that conditions are worse for workers and the industry suffers because of it.
But as a poor college student, its hard to argue with all of this cheep food.
This is why I'm still not sure how to feel about this.
This is a very interesting project. The politics of food are totally connected to issues we discuss in class. I suggest the reading of "The Omnivorous' Dilemma" by Pollan. See here http://michaelpollan.com/books/the-omnivores-dilemma/
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you. Fast food is a cheap and convenient option especially when you are working with a limited budget. I am also on the fence about it because I know that it is not the best quality but for some people its their only option to affordable food. I think this topic is very interesting.
