If you want some fast food, then buy the following:
- A package of "wraps" or tortillas
- 1/2 pound of turkey
- A squeeze container of Hellman's bacon & tomator lite mayonaise.
Takes about 1 minute to make and won't kill ya' with all the grease.

what the hell is a Chick FilA? A place or a sandwich?
And of course, Taco Bell owns all fast food places

Why read such an anti-capitalist, anti-corporote book wrapped up to look like it actually cares about people's health? His main beef (excuse the pun) is not that fast food is unhealthy, but that fast food businesses make money. Yes, that's right, he hates capitalism.

Read that, instead... and save your money.
Not only that, but this guy went on national TV and said he would stop eating beef becuase of the Mad Cow hysteria.
Sorry, but why should anyone take advice from such an irrational person?

I read the book and didn't find it anti-capitalist. The guy is angry about greed, and from reading the book it's not very hard to see how greedy some of these fast food companies and their friends are. Just because he finds them greedy and such doesn't mean he hates capitalism.
He stops eating beef because of Mad Cow. That's irrational? How? He thinks it's a problem and so he doesn't eat it.

"Greed" is the battle cry of anti-capitalists. Fast food restaurants are BUSINESSES. They are there to MAKE MONEY. They sell a desireable product at a price consumers are willing to pay and make a profit. If that is "greed" anyone who sells for a profit is "greedy."
The fact that he thinks Mad Cow a problem shows that he is irrational.

Well I'm not anti-capitalist and I found them to be rather greedy. Making money is one thing, shady business practices and plain greed is another. Greed is "excessive or reprehensible acquisitiveness," I'd like to see examples of them not being greedy.
About the Mad Cow, I honestly don't know much about it. I skimmed over the chapter in the book and haven't read anything about it outside of the book.

As I said, if you are to classify them as greedy, then you would have to classify ANY for-proft company as greedy. The whole point of business is to minimize cost, and maximize profit.
Ayn Rand put it best when she said,
"Since time immemorial and pre-industrial, 'greed' has been the accusation hurled at the rich by the concrete-bound illiterates who were unable to conceive of the source of wealth or of the motivation of those who produce it."

According to the above definition of greed, I would call them greedy. I work at a for-profit company and we don't fit that description of greed. I realize business is business, but there's still a difference between "excessive or reprehensible acquisitiveness" and making profit.
His beef doesn't seem to be that they make money, it's the ripple effects of minimizing costs to the point that it can cost people their lives and their health.
People seem to love to label the book as socialist propaganda just because they don't like Schlosser's political agenda, or they can't see through the bias.
It's amusing that the link you posted is as equally reactionary and biased as it accuses Schlosser of being.
Maybe it's just because I've trained myself over the years to ignore the all the crybaby tactics that people use when they are pushing extremist agendas, but the book is a good read.
I don't know why it would make you stop eating fast food, though.
How come no one has mentioned Arby's or the forgotten Roy Rogers?
ROY ROGERS HAD ALL THE SAUCES FOR FREE!!
Summer of 04' in Flushing NY, the McD on Main Street/Roosevelt Ave.

McD cashier: ..... *gets my sauce*
BeeYoTcH! I left with a smile, just like how they wanted me to!
