Rating: Summary: My Goodness, I Had a Slight Idea! Review: For all of you fast food eaters, read this book, you'll never want to see a McDonald's hamburger again. For all of you health food nuts, you'll be that much more justified. This is an extremely informative and intelligent piece of writing. Sure, the writing is boring, and not terribly creative. Sure the captivating subject matter is soon ganged up upon and then malled by a monotonous writing style, but the message it gets through is one of the, "I really needed to know that" kind. You'll learn about everything from the origins of fast food, to its modern day equivalent. A rather tedious, but must read

After reading about the dark side of fast food, I may never eat it again.
Rating: Summary: Fast Food Nation Review Review: If you enjoyed Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" than this is a must read. Like Sinclair he speaks about the meat packing plants, but takes it to another level. He talks about the whole industry from its humble beginings to its dominating the landscape and appetites of America. A fine pice of work in any genre, but one of the best as fare as Muckraking. -Doug Ross

Rating: Summary: The fast food industry Review: If eating at a fast food restaurant was something normal and that you did frequently, I assure you that it won't be that way after reading "Fast Food Nation". It provides in depth analysis of the things happening behind fast food industries, that us as costumers don't know. It takes you to the ranches where the cattle and chickens are grown, and to where potatoes are grown to later be sold to the fast food industries. It allows you to see the dangers of working in slaughterhouses and how people get injured; the injuries in slaughterhouses are three times higher than in a typical American factories. It also lets the reader know how the food gets its particular taste and how it's obtained. It provides information on how the food is cooked and what they put in it to keep it "fresh".
Rating: Summary: Very Fascinating Review: This book really opens your eyes and shows you what you really eat every time you go to a fast food place. Although it may be quick it may not be healthy. Once you really know what goes on behind the counter, you'll think twice about ordering.

Rating: Summary: Think twice before you eat out!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I think the book was ok. I really liked how he went back and did research on how all the major food chain got started. It was amazing how to see how much people were getting paid to work at a fast food chain. When you read the book you see that there's more to then flipping burgers and cooking fries!!!!!!!!!
