I’m just waiting for a reviewer to say, “Fast Food Nation does to greasy hamburgers what No Logo did for globalization” - as lame as that sounds, it’s an accurate description of this excellent book. Author Eric Schlosser rips apart the black box that is the American fast food and meat industry, and it’s at times lucid, enlightening, and digusting… sometimes all at once. (Thank goodness I don’t eat red meat.) A great, compelling read that will change the way you look at “1 billion served” forever.
