Caryn Sweeney

i agree with Caryn Sweeney, because she thinks that people on food stamps should eat and spend their money on healthier foods. She also was also on a college budget therefore she had to get the most she could with the little bet of money that she had in her pocket. Sweeney admitted that "It’s hard work being poor" but she didn't let that stop her from buying what she needed with her food stamps. People that have food stamps have to be happy with this new coming law because its only going to better themselves.

fast food nation and super size me

Fast Food Nation was a bestselling nonfiction by Eric Schlosser's which talks about the behind the scene of food industry. Fast Food nation also tracks down the major history of big food industry which i think has taken over our every day food and transformed them into a major business money maker. The people that own these industry don't care about the people that are eating their food because to them its all about the money the more you buy the better it is for them. The same can be said about the film Super Size Me which was directed by Morgan Spurlock. Spurlock goes through a 31 day diet to see if fast food really is bad for people. At the end of the film Spurlock got really sick and had to be hospitalized. I believe that fast food industry should be more cautions about what they feed people but at the same time we need to watch out for what we eat, its easy to always point the finger at that obvious problem but we need to be real with ourself and understand that if we continue to eat these fast food we will be a victim to sickness
