Answer two of the following for Tuesday's class:
Q1: How has the workplace changed the eating mores of the average American? What eating choices have become hardwired into our food psyche? Why do you think this change occurred so rapidly--within a few years (since most mores take decades or more to become established?).
Q2: Even more than the workplace, technology has changed the way we eat and the way we think about food (and meals). What technology does Egan claim is the most revolutionary in changing our eating habits? Do you feel it's had the same impact on your own--or your family's?
Q3: Why do you think fast-food adopted the "Be Your Way" slogans and began selling a message along with their food? In other words, why did Burger King, McDonald's, etc., try to sell us a philosophy as well as a burger?
Q4: What is "fast casual," and why has this trend exploded in recent years all across the American fast food landscape? Why does it specially appeal to the American cultural psyche, in ways that it doesn't appeal to people in other countries?
