Norman & other resource

I thought this article was extremely boring, I could hardly get through it all. I’m not really interested in biotechnology, so I don’t really care to read about it. Norman’s ideas were different and I think they’re on the right track. Genetically modified food is a scary thought, but the way he talks about it is pretty convincing. It also seems like an effective way to help stop world hunger and to feel poor people who can’t provide for themselves or their families.
The resource I chose for my paper is Eric Schlosser’s book “Fast Food Nation”. I’ve already read part of his book and I think there is a lot of information in it that I can use for my paper. His book is (obviously) all about fast food, which is a food community of its own. He goes into lots of detail of ethics and how it is affected by class, race, and access. Fast food is cheap and accessible, therefore, lower class buys it more often than other classes. He also talks about how fast food as become the norm of our nation, everybody eats it. It is even a normal occurrence for some people to eat fast food on a daily bases.
