The author refutes option A, "People would demand change in the fast-food industry if they could see behind the scenes".

Nowadays all it takes is an online search to find out how sausages, hamburgers, french fries are made to know there are some ethical as well as hygiene problems in the fast food industry; however, most people doesn't really want to think about it because these foods are cheap, and affordable and sometimes that is simply more important: if you're hungry, you'll eat whatever is easier to get, instead of the healthiest or innocuous choice.
