Summary: The Jungle part 2?
Review: It is easy to compare this book to "The Jungle", it is a fair but misleading comparison. Times have changed (since "The Jungle"), and the sins of the past are not emerging. These are new sins. This book is one sided, but it's the side almost no one talks about. There are a lot of facts in this book that everyone should know. If you read it you will be glad. You will ask yourself many questions (that's good). The book is will written. The facts and examples are will spaced and the author does a good job of making them come to life.

Summary: Most important book I've read this year
Review: This book reveals the scandalous information you MUST know before you buy ANY more food, especially fast food, AND before you send your child to school with lunch money.
The truth has been hidden from American consumers.
Our tax dollars have created a national welfare state for fast food producers rather than the best education and health care in the world for all our children.
Ronald McDonald exploits children. He should be removed from every children's television program, children's hospital and within 2 miles of any public school in the US.
We have been seduced, and now our children pay the price of our ignorance through poorer health.
READ THIS BOOK. It should change the way you eat.

Summary: Fast Food Nation
Review: I'm a dietitian and when I was given this book as a gift I was less than thrilled, it seemed like a workman's holiday. I was so impressed that I constantly recommend it to people. The author manages to take a very serious subject and make a page turner. Since reading this book I stopped eating at fast food restuarants and what is more have convinced my 11 year old son do the same. If you care about what you eat; you have to read this book.

Summary: Rhetoric Nation
Review: Pardon the shortness of this review, but this book is atrocious. Eric Schlosser should be hunted down and killed as painfully as possible. As my title indicates, this book is nothing but anti-meat, anti-freedom rhetoric. If you're the kind of person who supports the CSPI and is an active member of PETA, you'll just love this book. Of course, if you're a weak-willed sane person, you'll be effected by the lies and overstatements of this book. The nutrition ... food-nannies just LOVE this book. They finally have a chance to stain the minds of the world thruogh a widespread medium. Don't waste your time and money with this junk.

Summary: Informative and interesting...
Review: ...But too much of a manifesto. All together a fascinating and well researched read, but in parts becomes more of an examination of the American political system rather than the fast food industry. True, the two are linked, however the author indulges himself and at times uses his research to blast the Republican party. I would rather have read more about other elements of the fast food industry, such as the paper products and fresh produce. That said, though, I will never, ever fail to consider the 'big picture' when I sit down to eat. A must read for anyone interested in globalization issues, human nutrition, or the food service industry. I read it while on a trans-pacific trip and thus at the mercy of airport (fast) food, and rapidly lost my appetite, so I strongly recommned this book be read whilst you are at HOME.

Summary: Outstanding investigative journalism....
Review: I literally could not put this book down. It reminds me of a modern day The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Visit the meat packing industry of today and understand more clearly it's huge impact on people and all aspects of society, world wide, and the politics/politians that make this horror a reality. A real wake-up call! This book should be required reading.

Summary: All Americans Must Read This Book!
Review: I was shocked at the information in this book! Everyone should know where their food is coming from and how powerful the fast food, meatpacking and cola companies have become in our nation. It is extraordinarily eye-opening and should move all who read it to action!

Summary: The other side of fast food
Review: First off, let me say that I am a fast food fanatic, and nothing that I read in this book changed that fact. Until I find out that people are selling their souls to the devil for french fries, I will continue to consume them. That said, this book makes you see the fast food industry in a completely different light from that presented in advertising and PR. The author takes you "behind the scenes" to all aspects of the fast food phenomenon, including labor, unions (or the lack thereof), meatpacking, artificial flavoring, ranching, freezing...you name it. It gives background on the big names in fast food, like Ray Kroc and others. It was unbelievably interesting, gripping, and downright scary. But it won't stop me from munching a Big Mac anytime soon...
