Within the excerpt, Fast Food Nation: Why the Fries Taste Good, Eric Scholosser starts off describing his experience to the J. R. Simplot plan in Idaho and how the potatoes are made in the factory. Then he leads into some background information on John Richard Simplot, one of the richest men who started it all from being main supplier of potatoes in the 1920’s up to frozen French fries starting in the 1950’s. He believed that the frozen food technology would be the food for the future, and looking at it now he was right. As the popularity increased, he then branched out and made a deal to supply the frozen fries to McDonalds. I found it very interesting to all of Simplot's accomplishments at such a young age and the success he achieved throughout his life.
