Throughout part I of Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser writes about the ins and outs of the fast food industry. From the founding fathers to the dirty little secrets that fast food corporations would never want us to know, he reveals it all. As corporations look for every opportunity to cut costs and increase profits, we start to reexamine what type of behavior governs businesses in America. As the days of traditional ‘sit down restaurants’ dominating the market quickly disappeared, large corporations are making use of new machinery and money saving business strategies. The drawback to these business tactics is that the burden lies on another individual.
They start spending that money on a lot of things except for anything educational which is a very alarming situation for them and for their parents as well. Their parents need to know how they are spending that money and how they should be sending that money. Most of the time the only reason why teenagers start working is because they want to save money for their college studies. Studies revealed that teenagers have considered working here as a great learning experience for them but the writer has completely ignored that aspect as well. According to him, most teens working at places like McDonalds is not provoking sense of responsibility instead it is giving them a shortcut to avoid studies and start earning with little or no education at all.

Have you ever seen a 7 year old busboy at a restaurant? At that age I became one at my family's Caribbean restaurant. Yes being a 7 year old busboy is a bit crazy, but it is very much realistic. Working at that age up until now has given me many experiences both socially and economically. I found it easy walking up to a total stranger and starting a conversation.
Michelle Chen’s fourth myth about fast food work was the point I connected to the most. While in high school, most of my friends worked in fast food or at a local restaurant as a waitress or cook. At first they loved getting free or almost free food because they worked at their favorite fast food place. However, after a couple of months most of them quit or tried looking for a different job because it was difficult doing the same task over and over again. They said just the smell of the food made them sick to their stomach a few weeks after working there.
In 2010, 30 percent of teenagers in high school had jobs. The idea of earning money is the main reason teenagers seek employment, whether they need it or want it; however, getting a job while in high school is bad for their health and academic life. Teenagers in high school shouldn't have jobs because of their homework, sleep, and stress. Although the government set limitations on the teenaged work force, their tiring jobs are causing them to not complete homework assignments.
To take action I will begin to speak with grocery stores and see if we can come up with a plan, where grocery stores can donate their extra food that is going to waste to certain “food deserts”. Possibly we can make a deal with one chain grocery store particularly. Grocery stores have a great deal of foods that goes to waste, so why not donate to a good cause? Then I will work to make food trucks out of school buses, where we can find volunteers to drive the trucks into low-income areas and offer the fruits and vegetables, as well as easy meals. I am sure we would have no problem finding volunteers, I believe many of my social work friends would be interested in driving the food truck once in a while, and then the average middle-class person
According to the article, when the employers have to pay teens the same as the adults, it often makes more sense for them to hire the adult, more-skilled worker instead of the teen.

Second, according to the research, “unemployed teens are more likely to drop out of high school and become
A report was done by the Research Center of Immigration Studies according to the report the RCOI found a correlation between the decline in American youth (16-24 years of age) employment and a significant increase in the amount of immigrant employment over the last decade. This means Illegal immigrants are taking jobs and there are no jobs left for the youth to take. The reason for this is the youth must then take wages lower than the immigrants to get the jobs which is little to none. Since most job immigrants take are unskilled, low end jobs these usually do not require a lot of experience. An example, usually jobs that don’t require a high school education, now guess who is an unskilled and doesn’t not have a high school diploma the youth of America.

Panera Bread Company operates the signature restaurant chain Panera Bread, selling hand-crafted breads, sandwiches, salads, and drinks. Panera Bread bakery-cafes are often associated with the concept of “fast casual”, a mixture between fast food and more upscale casual dining.

Most Panera Bread restaurants are located in suburban strip malls and regional malls. Traditionally, companies like Panera have suffered in recessions, which decrease the frequency with which consumers eat out at restaurants.

Teens should not be able to hold after-school jobs. This is worthy of discussing because it is important to keep our future generation safe.
