Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal
by
by
An update of an earlier book with a new afterwards, examining the history of fast food in America.
We may talk about fat food being bad for us nutritionally, but that discussion misses the larger issue of how fast food affects and shapes the American economy and politics as well as diet. Unionization, economics, federal subsidies, and more are part of the story.
We really are a Fast Food Nation.
Each chapter covers specific issues, times, and subjects, giving you both in depth knowledge and an understanding of how different issues come together. Our potato crops are shaped by the fast food industry, down to technological innovations for making fries. Our politics are shaped by the money in the industry.
In short, read the book.
