Answer 2

Answer: By providing specific reasons why teenagers are ideal candidates, such as their acceptance of lower wages

Step-by-step explanation:

Eric Schlosser, the author of Fast Food Nation, claims that the fast food industry's influence on the federal government favours the industry rather than the worker. These employees are frequently from lower socioeconomic classes or are of a younger age (like teenagers), and they may be in the country on visas or illegally. According to the author, all of these factors give the industry a competitive advantage over employees. They do not protest because they do not want to lose their jobs, and the fast food sector does not supply more than is required to maintain profit margins. These grounds help you reach the judgment that the fast food sector is more concerned with profit than with the safety or financial stability of its employees.
