Schlosser is a talented storyteller, and his reportorial skills are considerable. At the very least, Schlosser makes it hard to go on eating fast food in blissful ignorance.įast Food Nation should be another wake-up call, a super-size serving of common sense.įast Food Nation presents these sometimes startling discoveries in a manner that manages to be both careful and fast-paced.
A fine piece of muckraking, alarming without being alarmist. Schlosser is a serious and diligent reporter. Fast Food Nation provides the reader with a vivid sense of how fast food has permeated contemporary life and a fascinating (and sometimes grisly) account of the process whereby cattle and potatoes are transformed into the burgers and fries served up by local fast food franchises. Eric Schlosser's compelling new book, Fast Food Nation, will not only make you think twice before eating your next hamburger, but it will also make you think about the fallout that the fast food industry has had on America's social and cultural landscape: how it has affected everything from ranching and farming to diets and health, from marketing and labor practices to larger economic trends.
