  1. Fast Food Nation Presentation Chapter 6 By Tera Hutto And Lynsey Young

  2. The Author’s Intent • To inform the reader of the current monopoly of the beef and poultry industry influenced by the fast food industry – McDonalds. • To tell the reader how such monopolies are destroying the independent hard-working rancher

  3. Major Assertions by Author • The cattle and poultry industries are becoming large company oriented and many small town ranchers and poultry farmers are being shut out of business, or go bankrupt. • The growers are determined and controlled by the processors, and many growers can not start a business without getting the consent of a processor.

  4. Point Proven? • Overall, the point made by the author was proven, and quite obvious to the general public if they take a look around at how the industry is shifting. • As larger companies keep growing, the small town growers are going disappear over time because they can not keep up with advancing times.

  5. Author Bias • The author spoke to a hometown grower, which has his own opinion on how industries are shutting him down and that they are mistreating the small growers. • The rancher (Hank) that the author spoke to committed suicide less then a year after he spoke with him. The stresses of maintaining a farm that was going downhill and supporting his family were too much for him to handle. The author may have related to this and found the subject more of a concern due to the serious actions that Hank had made.

  6. Relevance • As long as meat products remain at a fairly low price, the consumers are going to continue buying the cheaper products with no regard to the consequences for the hometown growers. • The economy is such a big issue that man people will continue to struggle to find new ways of supporting themselves and their families.

  7. The End!
