Fast Food Industry

The Unit 7 Discussions are based on the reading of the material in Schlosser, Chapter 10: “Global Realization.” Therefore, you will need to complete the Unit 7 Reading in order to answer the three topic questions. These three questions will focus on the globalization of world food markets.

• Why has the U.S. fast-food industry looked to overseas markets for future growth? Is there a moral or ethical issue involved?
• What is "McWorld" and what does the "McWorld" culture promote? What are some issues with fast food restaurants in relation to globalization?
• How does the fast-food industry influence foreign food markets? What are some of the pros and cons for the host cities?
