Must Read witty book about the fast food industry...
This book is an excellent look on fast food's impact on society. The invention of the hamburger, the role of soda in toothless Yupik Eskimos, the people behind the counter of a McDonalds, the teen getting gastric bypass, how McNuggets are made...it's all here. Chew On Thishas some gross content like depiction of a slaughterhouse and organs that were damaged from fast food, but I really think that this book was awesome! Five stars, hands down!

Perfect Book
I think this book is very educational for kids and adults cause it teaches you some of the weirdest things but they are things that someone would never tell you in person plus you get the idea to not go to McDonald's cause you see how they treat there employees and how they treat there food. To me this may be the best book for kids ever. I think all kids all over the world should read this.

^__^ AMAZING!!!!
I *L*O*V*E*D* this book! It was amazing in my view, I feel that it took me where I wanted to go within fastfood places. It shows history, facts, causes, ect of fastfood. Not everyone will enjoy this book because it may ruin their view on the fastfood they loved, or it may get 'gross'. But for someone like me it was perfect, I like the truth and that is what it gave me ^__^

Very Interesting
I really liked this book,it tells you a lot about how fastfood harms us.The book amazed me when I first read it.Because I was younger and I had no idea how terrible fast food was.Sure I knew it was bad for you,but I did not know how bad.this really opens a window for kids my age.Read it!

Intriguing for anyone, but too watered down to be the best version for older readers
So far I am mostly liking this. I got it because I was like borderline-intrigued (WAY MORE THAN I EXPECTED) by Schlosser's previous work Fast Food Nation. This one is tamer in most ways (beside the million commercial references like before), but some stuff (i.e., factory dangers/risks of slaughtering, meth use, etc.) would belong but is too watered down (which is why it's 3 stars instead of 5, but at least it's OK for younger kids). If you are a adult or teen (let's say 12+) go with Fast Food Nation. It's a lot more explicit but you probably won't be offended or scared too much.

truth for fast-food fans
Incredible it is, how we know almost nothing about the food we eat almost every week.I have only eaten twice at a fast-food restaurant , but still I wanted to go back. I now know better and I know what the makers put in the food.

A Should Read for All Those Willing to Hear the Truth
This book really opens up children's eyes to advertisement as well as consumerism.
