Response to "The French Fry Connection"

     This article was informative, to say the least! I appreciate the author’s choice in expressing the issues of Asian nations in the late 90’s. I did go into this piece knowing very, very little about Asian politics. While I wonder how things have changed within the last 14 years, I do feel that I got a taste of what was going on at the time of this narrative. In saying this, I wonder to Tanj & Saskia why you chose this piece from so long ago. How did you come across it?

     The piece at times held my attention, and at other times did not. For whatever reason, at times while reading this I had The Omnivore’s Dilemma in the back of my mind - particularly in Part 1 as we explored where the McDonald’s fries begin as spuds! Part 1 was a little less readable than say, the fire scene in Part 4, but we read at times for information, and this article presented much information!
