Eric Schlosser presents a deeper, desperately needed, perspective on the fast food industry. The writing style strikes a good balance between simple facts and narratives that convey the emotional and human aspects of the impact of fast food while presenting information in an honest way. I was impressed with the breadth of this book. Schlosser reveals the far reaching influence of the fast food nation, covering such topics as the environmental impact, the economics of the franchise and enormous agribusiness, the human right's and food safety issues within the meatpacking industry, and the impact on the health of the world as obesity and diabetes grow as the consumption of fast food becomes more commonplace. A well written and informative book, this is mandatory reading for all who participate in the fast food nation and those with the capability to change it.
