From
the Los Angeles suburb of Downey, California ,where the McDonalds brothers
opened their first restaurant, to basically every single street corner in the
globe in just a matter of a few decades, McDonald’s and other fast food
corporations have reshaped the landscape of human consumption in just a short
time period by simply selling hamburgers for $2 apiece. However, the vivid and
dark side of the industry is hidden within the colorful advertisements used by
these restaurants to stimulate one’s hunger. The book, Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser is about the shady side of the
fast food industry. The wide variety of stories and facts told in this
non-fiction book accurately describe exactly what the industry truly consists
of: fraud, cruelty, lies, abuse, etc. Overall, this book captivates your
attention because you can make connections with whatever the author is
indicating. However, you could get lost when the author talk about a town in
Colorado. And because of this I gave this book a rating of 9-10 out of 10. As a
result, I recommend this book to anyone who has at least once in their lifetime
visited a fast food restaurant to eat an item in the restaurant’s menu because
it forever changes one’s perspective of fast food restaurants.
