Another major key learning point that my group was able to find was that even though fast food might taste very good, it comes with a risk. And one of those risks other than gaining inches on your waistline is eating the bacteria known as E. coli 0157:H7, more commonly it is just call E. coli. E. coli while in your system it releases a toxin called “verotoxin.” The toxins attack the lining of your intestines and it cause you to evacuate your bowels. There have been reported cases where young children get E. coli from eating fast food and there bodies are developed enough to fight against it so it ends up killing them. This was a key learning point to all of our group due to the fact that it is a real world possibility that anyone of us can get E. coli. There is a real world chance that you the reader could go to a fast food restaurant or any restaurant for that matter and leave with E. coli without even realizing it. Be careful with where you decide to eat next time you get hungry.

The last major key learning point our group read about was that McDonald's is just taking over the United States it's taking over the entire world. The even started a marketing campaign called, “Global Realization.” They open approximately 5 new McDonald's everyday, 4 of the 5 are owned overseas, stated in “Fast Food Nation.” We thought about this and learned that no matter what you create if you market it right and get enough people on board you can make it into the world wide market.
