'Fast Food Nation'

[Ferocious]

Anybody read this book yet? There are dozens of reviews on the internet and it seems like a good one.

One short review
Another review with some links to other ones.

I may have just ate my last fast food hamburger....at least for now anyways.:frown:

All these fat pizza-eaters need is a little moderation. I love eating a big mac meal. The reason I'm not obese is because I do it quite infrequently.

The author was on CNN's Spin Room yesterday

When the author can come up with a way to provide paying jobs to several million people without a college degree, let alone a high school diploma, and that offers a service to the rest of the nation, send him my way.

BTW- I work for a company that owns over 20 fast food restaurants across Iowa and Wisconsin. We do offer health and dental insurance to all of our full time employees, and our average salary is a $1.50 over min wage. Our starting managers make more a year than most starting out school teachers do in the state.

Oh and about that murder BS. I could say the same thing about high school students, post office employees, and construction workers. This guy is arguing on emotion, not logic. Sorry buddy, got to do better than that.

Frankly, this just goes to show the greed of many corporations.

Fast food wasn't made this bad (with poop, etc.) before the vast deregulation of the '80s.

And McDonalds, BK, etc. prospered just fine before Reagan.
