For the most part everything explained in this portion of the book utilized a specific source, data, or a proven event to prove how it was actually true and how it happened. For example, The McDonalds having more power than the FDA during the Mad Cow incident is illustrated by the actual regulation McDonalds sent to its suppliers. The year 2000 decline in fast-food sales is explained with actual figures and percentage lost in sales for the year.
