In Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser explains the history behind these major companies, revealing truths that kids, even aults aren't aware of. Eric Schlosser tells us how these billionaire companies such as Disney, target young kids as a cover up for their own benefit. Little do we know the money that we spend recycles upon these huge companies leaving us empty hande and clueless.
Schlosser points out that parents always want their children to be happy, which is a main reason why companies target younger children. Parents do whatever it takes, whether its a happy meal, a railroad trip across the country to Disney world, parents do just whatever to have their child feel satisfied and loved. As said on page 43 - "Major ad agencies now have children's divisions, and a variety of marketing firmsfocus solely onkids". The more money spent, the larger and wider these companies expand through out the world and the more power they have among us.
In my opinion, i find this to be absolutely absurd and unacceptable. As sad as it is, these companies grow gradually day by day making enormous amounts of salaries. It's like a game of chess, these companies know our every move and all we do is spend. Knowing that McDonalds doesn't care for their customers, causing kids as young as 5 to be obese and unhealthy, who would of thought "friendly" Ronald McDonald could be so greedy ?
