Eric Schlosser - Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American...

Eric Schlosser's extremely compelling, un-nerving attack on America's fast food industry is done with care and precision as he addresses different aspects of restaurants like McDonald's--from the meat-packing industry to how flavorings are chemically created in the lab.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in factory farming, the food industry, and the continuing transformation of America into a mono-culture.

First Line

CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN SITS on the eastern slope of Colorado's Front Range, rising steeply from the prairie and overlooking the city of Colorado Springs. From a distance, the mountain appears beautiful and serene, dotted with rocky outcroppings, scrub oak, and ponderosa pine. It looks like the backdrop of an old Hollywood western, just another gorgeous Rocky Mountain vista. And yet Cheyenne Mountain is hardly pristine.
