Question:

I am working on researching to give an infomative speech on fast food. What would be 3 great points to cover?

OK here's what I plan to do. Have my 5 min. informative college speech be on fast food. And my 8 min. persuasive be on why we shouldn't eat fast food. But I am not sure how to start on my informative speech. Any ideas? I'm thinking I need to provide history of fast food -from the automat-to McDonald's etc. but I am not sure what my other points should be? Should I inform about the working conditions/low pay in the fast food industry or keep that for the persuasive speech? Any ideas would be wonderful, as I need to get this done and quick! Thanks!

Ty for all of the answers so far. I just got done watching supersizeme for the 2nd time. I have a feeling my persuasive speech with the health aspects will be easy. I'm just not sure what else to include in my infomative speech aside from the history of fast food.. I need to do a powerpoint too and this will be like the 1st infomative speech *aside from one in highschool* that I've ever done! AHH so I'm scared


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

There was a popular documentary called Supersize Me. One man ate McDonald's for 30 days and nearly died. Go to
http://www.supersizeme.com/ for more information. Also, on the McDonald's website, they offer the nutrition facts here:http://www.mcdonalds.com/usa/eat/nutriti...
Mention the high levels of fats and calories. And, research the health risks that follows eating unhealthy, like fast food. Adding the U.S's obesity problems will also help.

For your first five minutes, talk about the history of fast food and the most famous fast food restaurants: McDonald's and Wendy's.
