Fast Food Nation

This article was very interesting. French fries are a food that almost every person has had and I, for one, never thought about where they came from or how they were invented. I can only imagine how much work went into making french fries in bulk before the invention of frozen fries. McDonald's did not seem to hesitate on purchasing Simplot's frozen fries. I think that it is amazing what he has done at such a young age. J.R. Simplot became an entrepreneur farmer after dropping out of school in the 8th grade. Even though Simplot became extremely wealthy, I find it very refreshing that he seems to be down to earth and just keeps going despite his age.
