"Look, it is ridiculous to call this an industry," Kroc told a reporter in 1972, dismissing any high-minded analysis of the fast food business. "This is not. This is rat eat rat, dog eat dog.

Answer 2

Answer:

The quote provides memorable insight into Kroc’s personality and attitude.

Explanation:

One of the main reasons why authors might quote a person directly is because we can tell a lot from the way a person expresses himself. Each person speaks in a completely unique way, and we can get to know someone better based on the words that they employ, the pace that they use and their attitude when talking to others. In this example, the way in which Kroc expresses himself provides memorable insight into his personality and attitude.
