Health - 5

Another major part of the population that has been effected by the fast food industries is the population that needs to be moving fast weather its to get to work or to school on time, these people are effected negatively health wise because the fast food industries are not thinking about what would be the healthy choice for people, they are only thinking about the fast choice.  The other part of the population that is negatively effected  by the fast food industries is the people who don't have a choice because fast food is the cheeper option for them.  Because of these reasons the percentage of diabetes has risen significantly in America.

The Effect - 4

The fast food industries although delicious have throughout the years have created many problems for many people.  Not only did the industries slowly become corrupt and start using materials that should not be considered acceptable but they affected people who even chose not to eat there.  The fast food industries that were constantly popping up made it harder and harder for farmers that did not have enough produce to supply theses places.  these industries put fifty percent of American farmers out of business because they were never  given a chance to compete.

Different Tastes - 3

In the 1950's there was a new desire to see what delicacies other countries had to offer.  The most prominent food that was turned into a fast food franchise was Pizza.  Although this food had been around in Italy for many many years and was viewed as a "peasant food" (Tony Gemingnani) when it was brought to America it was instantly loved.  The first pizza franchise was created in 1961 and was called Pizza Hut, it was founded by two brother Dan and Frank Carney.  This business started out small like any other 

but with the change in America and the new found craving for different and new foods this industry (after looking at the assembly line tactic that the McDonald brothers used) also became one of the best known fast food franchises in America.

The Fast Food Industry in America - 2

After the change in supply and demand many restaurants knew that they would have to become more efficient  in their work if they wanted to continue to be successful.  Because of this the first fast food restaurant was opened.  Originally a small burger joint the McDonald brothers knew to continue to be successful with their business they would have to keep up with their young fast moving costumers.  The two brothers incorporated the assembly line technique into their industry and it wasn't long before their business was expanded to almost every major city.

The First McDonald's

After many small business owners visited and observed the success of the assembly line in a food business many industries such as White Castle, Berger King, and KFC took after the McDonald brothers and expanded their businesses  with the "Speedy Service System"

1950's 1

During the 1950's there was a huge surge in the population, this was because there were many soldiers coming back home from the war to live their lives again.  This new demand was the primary cause for many business expansions including food.  During the next few years people were living a more full life there was no more depression and people were able to spend more and make more.  This is one of the main reasons as to why there was a surge in the food industry, people could now afford to be fancy with what they bought.  because of the peacetime there were many different types of goods to buy that were not available during the war.

This change in the way people were living and how the excitement of this new view on food affected many peoples lives becomes even more clear when there are advertisements that can almost be seen as a timeline for the fast change that was occurring.
