My Thoughts on Fast Food Nation

    The book was a very interesting read, I really liked how Schlosser expressed himself and his style of writing. I learned a lot from this book but unfortunately wont be taking too much information to the grave, the fact of the matter is YES! Fast food is very bad for you, and I know many people have come to that conclusion but day in and day out there we are at the drive through again ordering the number two with large fries and drink. The information given in the book is very helpful to understand that fast food is not only just food anymore but vast conglomerates who are using the most advanced sciences to keep us hooked on this food. The chapter that was very overwhelming for me was “What’s in the meat?” the two stories of the innocent little children that died because some dumb company wanted to get rich and spend less on making our food safe makes me angry and sad as well as scared. What if this had happened to me? Or someone else’ children? What then? Fast food is delicious but what is the price we have to pay for these burgers? I hope to someday completely eliminate fast food from my life and never having to eat those delicious burgers again but who am I kidding, I'm craving a burger as I type ahaha.
