In chapter two of Fast Food Nation, readers gain insight to how some of the nation’s public schools receive extra funding. For example students are not allowed to have cell phones in school because it can distract them but they can be bombarded by advertisements in classrooms and lunchrooms. “Today the nation’s fast food chains are marketing their products in public schools through conventional ad campaigns, classroom teaching material”(Schlosser pg.52). Fast food companies are now advertising to students in school. This is a contradiction because the whole point in children attending school is to learn and be focused. This type of marketing school officials are allowing to take place within the school is distracting and maybe the reason some students don’t pay attention.
