Fast Food Nation

Fast Food Nation
Written by: Eric Schlosser

This is a well-reasoned book that while drawing out strong emotions, is primarily factual and lets listeners reach their own conclusions about the fast food industry. It isn’t “evil” corporations abusing the poor, it’s just people doing their thing and unfortunately at certain scales things just get nasty. The food safety and worker conditions will grab you more than the animal welfare issues. Definitely no preaching, and a good education to help people understand aspects of modern society and the effects of choices they can make on themselves and others.

3/2003: Definitely depressed me a little since although eye opening it was apparent the fast food industry is here to stay whether I eat it or not.
