Spectacles, vegetables and watered dowm facts!!!

Hello every one! My quest is to find out how is it possible to make and sell a cheeseburger for a dollar when we all know it takes more than that to make a cheeseburger. Here are a few sites that may help us understand why. And even though these sites don't provide a straight forward answer as to why, they have some interesting facts. Also, amongst the sites, i found a video for a 4 year old cheeseburger. now that's a trip. If anybody has any suggestions or information that may assist me in finding out a probable answer to my enigma, feel free to contact me through the blog or in class. thanks in advance!

  1. I think this is a interesting topic to research because it is true that the cost of making a burger is way more than it cost to sell. We also went over this in class that all together the cost to make it is about $3, so what profit does the sellers make if they are losing money?
