Fast Food Nation Chapter 6: On the Range @profjsm #code71

This chapter starts out with the main character, Hank who lives out on a farm not very far from a raceway. He was a typical farmer with a family, wife and kids. This chapter reveals a lot of shocking truth to what is becoming of the fast food business and meat products. The food business is going down the drain. Meat is becoming processed and very unhealthy to eat. These companies are putting chemicals into the cows, chickens, pigs, etc., foods. These chemicals they are putting into the food is to speed up the growth and the hormones, which results into bigger and fatter animals. That does not necessarily mean it is a good practice. These huge companies like tyson are abusing the animals and employees. These companies are trapping the farmers into these contracts so they can never escape. The farmers have to spend so much money to get these farm houses set up but they will never go out of debt for their very little amount of money they earn.  These companies are becoming a very bad business which is changing the food business. Hank later shocked everyone later in the chapter. Hank committed suicide shocking the world. Everything was going perfect for him, had a family and a career but nobody knows what made him commit to those actions.
