Government Subsidies
I want to take the time to comment on the government subsidies mentioned in chapter 3. I am surprised to hear about how a large percentage of the money granted by the government for training was spent in research to eliminate workers. Although I think in some cases the government is too involved, there are some like these where the money they give out should be more regulated. Schlosser says that many of the employees of these fast food giants are inexperienced and obviously taken advantage of by their superiors. Possibly a shift in where the focus lies, like to the employees doing their job well and receiving recognition, a change would be seen in the productivity and quality of output.

I agree that in some cases the government does get too involved in business in America. However, when it comes to government subsidies given to fast food giants, I believe the government should make sure the money they give to these corporations is put into the right places. They should have proper training for supervisors, similar to the training most restaurants outside of the fast food chains do. If the supervisors are hardly trained there is little chance the employees will be properly trained.
