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?
Wow, 30 restaurants per average-sized city? Have you ever noticed that there are also multiples of the same restaurant? In Conway, there are six Sonics and five McDonald's. It's as if we have to have one for all parts of our city of 57,000. One of my students said that a McDonald's in a town of 8000 had nearly 2000 customers in one day, and that was a slow day. Now, if there are other fast food restaurants in that town, that means it's possible the entire population of the town eats at a fast food restaurant every day. It's no wonder Americans have such bulging waistlines.
