Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Fine Social Thriller.
Fast Food Nation is a fine "Social Thriller" bringing you to the edge of your seat right from beginning till the end.
If "Erin Brockowich" is for P&G, then "Fast Food Nation" is for MacDonald's.Author has not spared a single stone unturned to make this book an "encyclopedia" of fast food "facts"( read evils)

4) This country needs an alternative to our current and growing feeding trends!

Highly recommended for anyone seeking more information on where their food comes from. ... Read More
