Blog 4: Questions for Eric Schlosser

Look back over Chapters 1-5. Post one question based on your reading of Fast Food Nation thus far. What would you want to ask Schlosser ? Create a thought-provoking question that goes beyond what is written into other related topics that his book, perhaps, points toward but does not directly address.

    As a investigative journalist it is your job to ask questions and get the truth. When you discovered that corporations spend large amounts of money for "flavorists" to develop and perfect tastes did you expect to uncover something of this nature? And if so do you think this practice will ever cease in the food industry? Why? or why not?

    With "healthy" words like "fat-free" and "organic" being such an important part of the food industry today, do you think that word is important in the cost and sales of food?
