A New York Times Bestseller by Eric Schlosser. This year Americans will spend more money on fast food than on higher education...this book shows how the fast food industry conquered both appetite and landscape. Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled and epidemic of obesity and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad. You'll learn first hand about where the business was born and how many of the fast food flavors are concocted in industrial/chemical plants along the New Jersey Turnpike. An avalanche of facts and observations, wryly and engagingly written, will make it hard for you to go on eating fast food in blissful ignorance!
