Maddi Stock Of Bread Case Study

Summary After viewing the film “food Inc.” the way I now view the American food industry and our government has changed. I now see the food industry for what it really is, a corrupt business empire that is protected by government officials and policies. In the film it pinpoints many different areas where the food industry has become an injustice to the citizens of America, they have also been protected by laws and policies, and also have treated the cattle, chickens, and other farm animals with such cruelty for profitable gains. Some of the areas where the food industry has become an injustice to its citizens is in the processing of mass food products that are not healthy, the advertising of products to fit the description of farm grown food

Fry four on two, my mother would say as she clipped a check onto the metal wheel. Her tables were deuces, four-tops, or six-tops according to their size; seating areas also were nicknamed. The racetrack, for instance, was the fast turnover front section. Lingo conferred authority and signaled know-how” (280). Rose uses an expert testimony of his own to prove that the blue collar work force is intelligent. Many Americans have never worked at a restaurant. The way the orders and seating is arranged requires a lot of thought. Additionally the ways orders are recorded require a fair amount thought to know which order goes where. Moreover, delivering the orders require physical effort to get through the “turnover front section” quickly. Another instance of using expert testimony is shown with one of Rose’s mother’s brother. Rose states, “As a foreman, Joe constantly faced new problems and became a consummate multi- tasker, evaluating a flurry of demands quickly, parceling out physical and mental resources, keeping a of ongoing events in his mind, returning to whatever task had been interrupted and maintain a cool head under the pressure of grueling production schedules.

Rose helps the audience gather a mental image of what he experienced occasionally on a day to day basis; it was the 1950s in a Los Angeles family restaurant. Mrs. Mergalio would do more than just waitress, she could handle working the register and the counter with little to no help (Rose, 2017, p. 272).
