2. What does Schlosser mean when he says “the real price never appears on the menu”(9)? Use examples from the Intro and Chapter 1 to illustrate your answer.
Schlosser means that you are paying for the price of your health. Individulas that eat there on a regular basis will have greater health issues that they will have to face. People refuse to see the harm that fast food can cause to ones self because the food is quick and convenient. Also, there is the factor of putting the company over the individual. Such as in the book, when Carl was the founder of the company, but he when then kicked out because of a hostle takeover. Although he got back in, this just proves how the industry will choose the fast food over any individual. Another reason is that larger buisness shuts out small industries. The demand that large resturants have for standardized products has givin' many corporations a degree of power over the nation's food supply. This has lead to other industries to do the same and produce similar buisness'. Therefore, leading to the shut out of smaller buisnesses.

You're on to a number of things here, Tara, but your prose here is bordering on the incoherent. Work on ORGANIZING your thoughts and using TRANSITIONS to link your ideas. Don't submit hastily scratched out ideas to the blog. Write and then re-write. Take your time.
