“ Fast Food Nation” is a book written by Eric Schlosser. In chapter Seven, the author mentions that employees do not need a special skill to work in slaughterhouses. Because workers always do the same simple action during their working period, some of them may quit the job in short time. Lots of employees are working without permission, and they might cause problems in the company. Due to the poor working conditions, such as odors or pollution, most of time workers might want to find a job, which will pay good salaries to them. Some people who work in the slaughterhouse are illegal immigrants; consequently they might bring crime and drugs to U.S. communities.
Usually customers might not pay attention how the meat comes from, but in chapter seven of “Fast Food Nation” Eric Schlosser (2004) states, “The Company’s low wages and new production techniques transformed and entire beef industry, from the feedlot to the butcher counter.”(p.154) In other words, the employee gets low pay, and the company gets new techniques to make their products have been processed, it changes the environment. I disagree with the author. If the company treats those employees all right, they might have better performance in working. Low wages will not be a good way to cheer up the worker.
It is a shock to me by reading its context, and the author gives his reader an opportunity to see the truth. After I figure out how the meat becomes our food, I would like to eat more vegetables and fruits as a meal. It is great thing that the Iowa Beef Packers revolution had changed lives. In the end of this chapter, the IBP held a public forum at a junior high school. It would help the company to improve their images. In chapter seven of “Fast Food Nation” (Schlosser, 2004) Eric writes, “An IBP executive, a vice president of public relations, confirmed that assessment. ‘And people who work on our lines work hard,’ he told the gathering.’ As the chief of police said, they go home at night and go to bed rather than carouse around town.’”(p.166) Through this point of view, we can assume that the workers are working hard, and they have no time to take a rest or do other things. It is difficult to image this situation which happens in this world. No matter what kind of jobs which you are taking, you need time to relax.
The opening of chapter seven is set in Greeley, Colorado, there is a small meatpacking plant, but the final page of this chapter ends in the school. In other words, the setting begins with negative image from the surrounding countryside. However, it turns into positive way at the end. It revised my opinions of this company. The author gives me different image of this industry.
