Chapter 7:Fast Food Nation

Precis: The smell of Greeley Colorado gives itself away before anyone knows that it is there. People usually don't recognize the smell there, because they are so used to it. The industialization of cattle-raising and meatpacking has gone from one of the nation's best paying manufacturing jobs, to the lowest. ConAgra runs the biggest meatpacking complex in Greeley, and owns both a sheep and beef slaughterhouse.

Gems:"They have turned one of the nation's best-paying manufacturing jobs into one of the lowest paying."(p.149)

Thoughts:I thought it was crazy that you could smeel a place before you actually see the place. That doesn't make sense. That means that the place is basically known for one thing...slaughtering animals.
