Fast Food Nation

The New York Times bestselling book will soon be released as a movie.  If you haven't read the book, Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal (Harper Perennial P.S. Edition)by Eric Schlosser, I highly recommend it as a controversial look at fast food and its manufacturing, its effects on our health, and the very successful marketing of it to us, the consumers.  You will never look at a burger the same way again!

I was pleased to see that it will be released in Fall, 2006, as a movie with quite a notable cast.  The visual of this disturbing book should be memorable at the very least.  Also, if we are parents feeding this food to our children, we have a responsibility to know what we are feeding them.

Eric is also featured as an extended interview on the DVD of the movie, Super Size Me, another recommended movie about the fast food industry.
