The article “Fast Food Nation” is about different people who work in fast food restaurants and have experience with the products used. The audience for this article is teenagers because many teenagers work at fast food places. The article says that many teenagers work there because it is low pay and does not require that much skill, so it is an easy job. The topic was very clear and well researched. The author is biased against the food sold at these restaurants and how they are operated. This topic helps me understand why teenagers work in fast food restaurants. I never knew that people who worked at fast food restaurants expecially tennagers sometimes get taken advantage of. Schlosser, Eric.
