Well, Lila, Adolfo, Michael, and Jessica answer these questions in their essays! The answers are surprising, disgusting, and gross! Don't believe us? Well, what if I told you the chemicals go into fast food. CHEMICALS! I'm pretty sure you believe us now. But wait, there's more! The animals we eat are not even allowed to go outside!

He doesn't care about us, only our parents money! In fact, he doesn't even care about our health! And you don't even want to know what Burger King and Wendy's puts in their chicken! Let's just say aluminum tastes good, if you like Burger King and Wendy's. Now how coud we put a stop to this? What can we do? Read our pages to find out!
