Non-fiction Book Talk

“Chew on This” by Charles Wilson is a non-fiction book that provides basic insight into the fast-food industry. It reveals the dirty doings of the CEOs as well as the “inhumane” actions for greater profit. One theme of this book is that people will commit morally understating actions for greater gain.

 

Two reasons why I think you should read this book is that this book reveals a lot of the “behind the curtain” information which is worth a read since they will influence our decisions when choosing a place to eat. Also, this book shows people who are fighting against the fast-food industry whether to be fairly paid or to just stop children from consuming fast food.

 

Something that I learned from this unit was how to analyses the text to find the author’s opinion on various topics.
