Fast Food Nation

The Dark Side of the All-American Meal
To a degree both engrossing and alarming, the story of fast food is the story of postwar America. Though created by a handful of mavericks, the fast food industry has triggered the homogenization of our society. Fast food has hastened the milling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, and fueled an epidemic of American cultural imperialism abroad. That's a lengthy list of charges, but Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix o first-rate reportage, wry wit, and careful reasoning.
