  1. Why the Fries Taste Good Taylor Yates, Tristan Hagerman

  2. Author’s Intent • To inform the reader of the life of the French fry. • What happens during the production of French fries • The history of French fries/background.

  3. Major Assertions/Findings • A powerful potato magnate controlled the potato industry, today it is still controlled by a select few. • The French fry production process is exact and they are mass produced in factories. • The potato is adulterated with flavorings – artificial and “natural.”

  4. Was the author effective? • The author was effective. • The approach was educational and lacked bias. • Knowing the history of the French fry and how they are produced would lead many to avoid consuming them.

  5. Bias • The chapter seemed to be factual. • There wasn’t any noticeable amount of bias, although the author is naturally tilted away from the French fry producers.

  6. Connections • The production process of French fries can be compared to other manufactured goods. • Uncovering the flavoring industry adds an impersonal element to French fries. • The author’s intent is to turn people away from consuming French fries, and by removing the personal element to them, he does this.
