Book report #2: Chew On This

              The book I read was Chew on This by Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson.

     This book is about all the fast food
industry history, The Mcdonalds brothers first came up with the Idea of opening a restaurant, They decided to call it Mcdonalds, because their last name was Mcdonald. The Mcdonald brothers came up with the idea of having a speedy service restaurant. Many other restaurants started to copy their idea of having a speedy service restaurant. These are some of the restaurants that copied Mcdonalds' idea, KFC, Taco Bell, Burger king,Sonic, Dairy Queen, and Wendy's. Mcdonalds became a big hit for the fast food industry. Mcdonalds created a speedy service system where you would get your own food, and you would have to get out of your car and walk inside to get the food. Some people weren't used to the speedy service system because they were used to people coming out to take their order, then run back in the restaurant, get  their food, and then come back out and give it to them. Mac and Ron Mcdonald wanted Walt Disney to sell Mcdonalds food at Disneyworld, Walt did not agree to selling Mcdonalds food there. Ray Kroc (a business man) met with Mac Mcdonald and wanted to help the Mcdonald business since Ray was a good business man and had some ideas to help the Mcdonalds industry.
 Ray made a lot of good ideas and hopes for the Mcdonalds industry that helped Mcdonalds become what it is today.



     Think about what your eating.Do you know if it could be harmful to your body. I think the theme of this book is be careful what you eat and treat your body right.


        I would recommend this book to people in our grade because it was very fact filled. I think people would like this book because it's so gross but you can't stop reading it. I can relate this book with another book I read. This book contained a lot of secrets about the fast food industry, and people like secrets. I would recommend this book for all grades. 



     Eric Schlosser has written a few books, some of them are, fast food nation and chew on this. Eric Schlosser went to prison but got let out. When he got out he wrote two other books about nuclear weapons and the prison industry.


   Charles Wilson grew up in West Virginia and has written articles for numerous publications such as the, New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Economist.
