Food HW#2

When we stepped into McDonalds their was a different atmosphere. Everything was pretty quiet and I couldn't help but notice that McDonalds was no longer the way it used to be. The walls were no longer filled with vibrant colors such as: orange, pink, or bright yellow but now the walls were lined with brown, black, and a very pale yellow. It was determined that this change had occured becase McDonalds was trying to show a more professional tone. There was music playing in the background, and everything was faced paced, alsmot robotic. Most of the workers were minorities and there was a mix of people. People enjoy coming to McDonalds because it's fast food made easy.

The quality of the food we eat is something that is very important to humans. Food is sacred because we are devoted to eating and maintaining our lifestyles. The origin of the food we eat is also a very important part to of our eating habits. When we split up we went to different booths to observe and ask the workers questions. There were many questions but the most interesting question that someone asked was: "How does one of your burgers differ than the burgers sold at McDonalds?". To which the worker replied that the cows are raised on a farm somewhere upstate New York and the way the cows are fed is the main difference. McDonalds burgers have more corn in them because these cows eat more genetically modified corn just so that they can get fat. These cows are not allowed to move because they would lose weight. The cows on the farm are given green leaves to eat and they have more freedom than the cows McDonalds uses for our burgers. Everything at the market was made fresh, homemade, and with no preservatives.

For this reason it may be more difficult for the poor and possibly working class to stay healthy. When you buy food some may notice that there are more meats than there are vegetables and they are a little more expensive. People that have more money are more prosperous because they are spending their money based on the quality of the food so they don't have to worry about the price of the food. However, a poor person can't afford to buy food because they are financially unstable. It is easier to buy food when you know how to plan so that you have money for groceries or whatever you may be doing.
