Poorly Constructed Burgers

After reading an article about how a fast food restaurant, Jack in the Box, managed to kill four kids with their food, I was very surprised too see how this could happen. I did not know so much about how meat was processed and created in fast food restaurants. They make the meat so fast and use so many artificial and unhealthy ingredients that it can make people sick. What happened was the kids ate burgers that were under cooked, and they got so sick they died. I also did not know that the U.S Department of Agriculture had anything to do with how meat and food are supposed to be made. They put a zero-tolerance rule in that enforces certain laws fast food places must obey. I would like to learn more about how the chicken, beef, and poultry are made and why it is so popular to make them the way they do if so many people are getting sick.

Scavenger Hunt

During the scavenger hunt, having a partner helped in many ways. First, we were able to split up and look for different things that we were supposed to find. This helped because it made the process go a little bit faster. Also, having a partner helped because if one of us did not think of something, the other one might be able to come up with an answer. It was a good way of bouncing ideas off of each other.

Connections that I can make in my own life is that advertising is all around us all the time and even if there is not advertising somewhere, you can make it occur. We saw things like snack shacks and buildings that we see during everyday life and if you look at it in a different way there could be advertisement in it.
