Fair Foods Program
For my topic I would like to argue the importance of the Fair Foods Program (FFP). I attended law school and in a Peached and Justice class we read a book about the Fair Foods Program and how four out of five major food companies (Yum products [Taco Bell], McDonalds, Subway, Burger King) signed, and yet Wendy’s refuses to sign. Every year there is a major march from Florida to NYC to get Wendy’s to sign and every year they’re faced with tear gas and felonies. I want to highlight the major systematic flaws in farming and tomato harvesting that the FFP is intended to abolish. Such as: rape, slave labor, torture, cancer from the pesticides, murders, and human trafficking. I understand my stance is not to tell everyone to boycott Wendy’s, but I will be using Wendy’s as a major driving example. My intended audience would be the general public to inform them, agriculture involved persons, and immigrants, and hard-core capitalist. I can see the scope from the opposing side of: lower costs more revenue supply/demand With this paper I need 6-12 sources (I have two here: https://ciw-online.org/blog/2020/01/follow-the-money-march-announcement/ || https://www.fairfoodprogram.org/about-the-fair-food-program/ you may use them if you please, or you can just toss them aside.)
