Schlosser's myth-shattering survey stretches from the California subdivisions where the business was born to the industrial corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike where many of fast food's flavors are concocted. He hangs out with the teenagers who make the restaurants run and communes with those unlucky enough to hold America's most dangerous job - meatpacker. He travels to Las Vegas for a giddily surreal franchisers' convention where Mikhail Gorbachev delivers the keynote address. He even ventures to England and Germany to clock the rate at which those countries are becoming fast food nations.
Fast Food Nation is a groundbreaking work of investigation and cultural history that may change the way America thinks about the way it eats.

"... a fierce indictment of the fast food industry." (The New York Times)

So what is a fast food nation? Apparently it has something to do with the American, homogenized, Disneyfied, McDonalised, oligopoly that we live in today. Drive down any main street in America, and you are likely to see the same retail stores, gas stations, and, yes, eating establishments. Urban sprawl seems to be driven by franchises, which function as military outposts on new suburban frontiers. Once they move in, the rest of the troops follow. And what is the cumulative effect of all of this blase cookie cutter culture on our standard of living here in the good old USA?
Well, something sinister, rest assured.
For example, our food supply is being controlled by huge corporations who have no respect for the American dream...NO respect, mister. Our children are being targeted from birth by an ungodly assortment of scientists, flavorists, and advertisers who will stop at nothing to add another body to the Matrix. Oh, yes, yes, it is all true. But, there is still time. You can walk out of that fast food restaurant before it gets you too -- you, you fat, overweight, obese, typical, American consumer. Put down that french fry! Put it down, I say!
Highly recommended. 4 stars = excellent.

I am critical of the author's biased approach to the material, but he clearly states his agenda at both the beginning and end of the book; so the material can be read with the knowledge that this book is a prosecution of the industry with no real defense.
enjoyable simply because it is so very disturbing
