Fries with that? I don't think so!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH FAST FOOD?
This book is about far more than most people assume. The hardcover's subtitle, "The Dark Side of the All-American Meal" instantly conjures up images of worms in beef patties and teenage kitchen staff spitting in milkshakes. Yes, greasy food is bad for you...

"WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR E-COLI FOR HERE OR TO GO?"
As a person who has recently decided to change their eating and lifestyle habits to lose some weight (20 pounds lost since mid February, giddy), one of the first things that I cut out of my diet was fast food. I can honestly say that I haven?t had a burger or fries in months, and after reading Fast... Read full review »

A few Good Takes On The Fast Food Industry
You are not the only one who has read some of Eric Schlosser's articles in Atlantic Monthly and other magazines. I read his article on fast food in Rolling Stone a few months ago. It was a long article, the kind of work that the author usually puts out. It now makes sense that Schlosser develops... Read full review »
A modern treatise on why to become a vegetarian
Fast food nation is not a book about the fast food industry. It's not even a book about food. It's rather a mirror of American society and how the industrial revolution has naturally progressed and evolved to encompass all aspects of our politics, industry, habits and desires.
