 "Once it became apparent that the steak was actually blue and the fries were actually green , some people became ill."

The production of having frozen potatoes delivered to restaurants had became a competitive business to many corporations. One of them who was the successful Simplot corporation,Lamb Weston, and McCaine who battled producing potatoes and giving them to famous restaurants.Those three frozen french fry providers control 80% of the french fries delivered to restaurants. Yet by doing so they have eliminated and acquired most of their smaller rivals. Yet by acquiring fries they make a huge profit off of farmers and told them to increase production and lowered prices like from every $1.50 someone would spend on a large fries the farmer would only receive 2 cents.Then the companies would tell the farmers to increase production which put them under pressure or not they would get out of business.Because of this the number of potato farmers had been decreasing though to this time the remaining farmers were given more land to harvest potatoes by the time only 1,100 farmers remained enough to fill a high school auditorium.one of the focuses of inputs and outputs that encourage in just one crop which is the potato that relied heavily on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, advanced harvesting and irrigation equipment by then American farmers had become the most productive farmers in the world at the time. Another thing that shocks me to know would be the chemicals that give off a tasty flavor, Like for every restaurant their fries and burgers would give off a distinctive flavor that would say "Oh those are McDonald's fries". or " That's Wendy's double cheese burger ".
What scientist would do is put artificial and natural flavors to the food we eat. As you see you would mostly see this on sodas, yogurts and desserts.  Scientist have discovered many different flavors in these Chemicals/ Potions as they put it, like Methyl anthranilate that would later be known as Grape kool aid and methyl-2-peridylketone makes a popcorn taste, and ethyl-3-hydroxybutanoate makes a marshmellow taste. Processors have tried hard in only using Natural flavors but have failed.
      Questions

1. Why do you think farmers were given such low amount of money?
2. How do you think people would react to the truth about our food?
3. Does this still go on today?

Their Way 2nd chunk part 1

"In recent years conflicts between franchises and franchisors have become much more common .As the American market for fast food grows more saturated".Pg 99 

As Then all fast food restaurants had began to climb up to success they began to spread and get even more richer that some people would try and oppose them.Though some people would try and make a franchise like Burger King, McDonalds, and Carls Jr though what they would do is buy a smaller business like Gumby Pizza, Hot Dog On A Stick, Chicken Shack, and Buddys Bar B-Q.Though most of the time these Fast Food chains would be sued for by other franchises who are upset by encroachment about inflated prices charged by suppliers.Also in 1998 a man named Dean sager said that Subway was one of the worst franchises in America and was the biggest problem in franchising and that other franchises were a success. Another franchise that was good is  the Little Caesars that was known to be the 4th best pizza franchise but it went on a downfall in 1992 when hundreds of restaurants began to close down, reasons because the employers were upset about the company's management. Another thing on where McDonalds, Burger King, and other restaurants would get their potatoes would be from a man named J.R Simplot Who produced potatoes in Idaho where the would be frozen, cut and assembled in a factory and shipped out to restaurants.First to start a potato business he rebelled against his domineering father, dropped out of school , found a job at a potato warehouse in Declo, Idaho were he sorted potatoes with a shaker sorter where he worked 9 to 10 hours a day and earned 30 cents.with his earnings he bought a rifle , a truck and 600 hogs, then at the age of 16 became a potato farmer. Then succeeded to be the largest shipper in potatoes in the west. They had become so popular because they were shipped to restaurants being the most consumed item on the menu.Then he met with Ray Kroc in 1965 and Simplot had the idea of switching to frozen fries than fresh instead of having crew members peeling potatoes for a bigger deal, Kroc had agreed to idea to try his fries and agreed with a handshake.
