Chapter 7 of Fast Food Nation discussed the starting of meatpacking industry and its downfalls. At first, Iowa Beef Packers (IBP) used the same principle as McDonald’s principle to make fast foods. IBP hired unskilled workers just to do simple and repeated work all day. However, competition with other companies made IBP low wages and health insurance options.

Companies try to create advertisements that leave a lasting impression of a certain product so that it can resonate in a consumer’s mind. Often, companies shape an advertisement based on the type of customers they want to attract. For example, McDonald 's, a fast food chain is likely to target children than adults. By attracting children, there is a likely chance that the children will will insist their parents or grandparents to bring them to the restaurant, which ultimately for the restaurant is about making thrice the profit.
The fast food industry started out very small, but once the industrialized way of producing food at a quick pace was innovated by the McDonald brothers, it exploded.

The sprawl of fast food chains has made the restaurants inescapable, and that is the goal of the franchisors. Coinciding with fast food chains, corporate factories have overtaken family owned farms and meatpackers.
