Fast Food Nation The True Cost of America's Diet

This article is EXTREMELY useful to my senior project. Since my project has to do with conspiracy and a new world order brought about by fast food companies, so this article fits the bill. It talks in detail about how fast food companies don't like "individuality" in their organizations and stress on conformity in order for it to run smoothly. Also, it states that the only workers that make less money than fast food employees, McDonalds especially, are migrant farm workers.

Obesity in America: How America Junk food Created an Obesity Epidemic in the US.

This article has some use to me. It talks about how big fast food has gotten to the point where it's spreading to other countries. This helps my point of fast food companies slowly taking over all food industry. The article also continues to mention the fact that burgers do have addictive qualities, which can push my story further. Later in the article it states that a reason for fast food being so popular is that people don't really know what healthy food is. This can go straight into the story where fast food is all there is, most people don't know what healthy is so they have no motivation to rebel.

So over all my articles contribute considerably to my project. There were several bits of information that can fuel the story, such as the statement that recently Ronald McDonald has be come even more recognizable than Santa. This strengthens our point of the fast food companies taking over and running everything. But, I feel that if there is going to be a writing portion I may be in a bit of trouble as my sources don't list where they got their information from. I think that as of now my partner and I have an excellent idea, but executing it may be a challenge.
