There May be Danger in our Food by Bernardo Saldana Garcia


An entire family has been killed, and there appears to be sign of a struggle, but the one to blame is unable to use any sort of weapon! It may have been those burgers they each ate a few days ago--the food seemed decent enough, or maybe it wasn’t. Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser is a book about the dangers that may be lurking within the fast food that millions of people consume just about every day.

The book provides a sufficient amount of information about the fast food business and the fast food chains that are well known today. The author, Schlosser, also informs the reader about the secret behind the fast food business, as he goes from what happens behind the counter to what occurs inside the slaughterhouse. As an overall rating, I would give the book an 8 from a scale of 1 to 10. The reason why I gave it an 8 is because of the amount of intriguing information given throughout the book. Although it isn’t perfect (no book is), it is convincing about why the fast food industry is as bad as its food is for one’s health. I highly recommend the book to readers concerned about what is packed within the food we eat, such as athletic individuals or anybody that’s interested in muckraking, but the book is not limited to just those people; anyone may read it and it is guaranteed not to be a waste of time.
