Chapter 5! =O

1. "Who Is J.R. Simplot? What Connection Does J.R. Simplot Have To The Fast Food Industry?"
J.R. Simplot is an 8th grade dropout, who is now one of the richest men in the United States. He was the first man to think of Frozen French Fries, and since the fries tasted better cooked in hot oil than being baked in an oven, he had to find restaurant owners who would recognize the tremendous labor-saving benefits of his frozen fries. Due to this he became the main supplier of french fries to McDonald's.
2. "What Is The Fallacy Of Composition?"
"The fallacy of composition" is a mistaken belief that what seems good for an individual will still be good when others do the same thing. Since around 1945, farmers have been persuaded to adopt one new technology after another, hoping to improve their yields, reduce their costs, and outsell their neighbors.
