Are Fast Food Corporations Taking Over?

      
    I have been wondering for a while now. There are multiple fast food restaurants all across the United States. Is that good or bad? Do we want to continue seeing corporations take over land that can be used to build homes for homeless people, or do we want to see corporations take over so they make even more money than they are already making. I think it’s wrong that corporations are taking over places that can be used for investing in future homes, and other businesses. There is an average of at least 30 fast food restaurants per major city in a state. If you go to a small neighborhood you will see a good amount of fast food stops. Instead of building all the fast food places. They can substitute that with a doctor, grocery store Park where little kids can play better schools, more places you can get jobs at. In an article by USA today, it was said that, "Fast food appears to be the sole truly international form of catering"http://findarticles.com/. This could mean a lot of things that the fast food industry could be trying to get on the good side of citizens, to get what they want and need. Some people think it’s a good idea. That it is bring more jobs in the community. Its helping people escape troubles that they are in. It could also be the turning point someone need s to start off a new life. What do you think?

Fast Food Corporations With Health Problems In America


Now we all know that after hard days at work, we wouldn't want to go home and slave in front of a hot oven for hours. The one thing we want to do when we get home is get something quick to eat. Today America is ran by fast food restaurants. While they were getting rich from sailing advertisement after advertisement. Some restaurants for example, are McDonalds, Burger King, Sonic, Wendy’s, Rally, and Chinese Restaurants. These corporations may have good commercials to persuade you to come there, when really they are setting you up for a unhealthy eating habit. The meals they be serving contain a lot of unhealthy ingredients. By going to the website www.criticalbench.com/unhealthy_fast_food.htm you can find out fast food is unhealthy, and that it can kill if you eat too much. Fast food is simply tasty, ready-cooked meals packed to go. There is absolutely nothing nutritional about fast food. Fast food simply feeds hunger and/or your immediate craving. The concept of fast food is obviously, food ready-to-eat and served quickly. The FDA Total Diet Study found that fast-food hamburgers, across the board, contained 113 different pesticide residues. This is not good, this grease is food that human beings are eating. They also contain a lot of grease and fats."
Synthetic chemicals added to processed food, including fast food, damage your body’s cells. Your body is made up of nutrients found in plants and animals you eat. Man-made food items loaded with pesticides, as well as aspartame, margarine, and other man-made chemicals do not nourish your body. If your body can’t use what you put into it you will gain fat and decrease health." All the information above is telling you how fast food is really unhealthy. i hope that you liked my topic .

corporations and politicsly

  1. The United States regulates corporation participation in politics. Some people think a corporation's political activity is illegal. The reason being,corporations advocate ever-increasing regulatory restrictions and support their analysis with empirical studies that purport to demonstrate the ability of corporate donors to buy favorable legislation by making political contributions to members of Congress.http://www.allbusiness.com/legal/3604586-1.html. The article examined one corporations political activity. One company suucessfully used its political influece shape legislation. This means it shaped its business strategy. Regulating is becomin bi, g in United States bussinesses. By understanding how and why corporations participate in politics, we can address concerns about the effect of corporate political influence.Poltics pay a big part in the business world.  They can also cause a few problem within your business. When corporations play politics, they're just playing self-defense against.http://www.professorbainbridge.com/professorbainbridgecom/2010/01/why-corporations-play-politics.html. This can mean numerous things. Politics are all over the world. It can be hard to dodge politics when it comes to corporations. To me the business world is ran by politics. In some of the ads croporations be advertising, they have to do with politics. Some companies will play defense to keep the company from getting in trouble. That is a major risk on politics in the world of business. What do you think?
