    Book Description

    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 malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled the juggernaut of American cultural imperialism abroad. That's a lengthy list of charges, but Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry wit, and careful reasoning.

    Each day, one-quarter of the adults in the United States visit fast food restaurants, spending more than $110 billion dollars in the year 2000. Schlosser examines the franchise arrangement, with its curious blend of protection, paternalism and profit as adeptly as he delves into the specifics of what's in the beef. Also on Schlosser's hit list: the susceptibility of meat to dangerous pathogens such as e. coli; the slaughter of nearly 600 cows per hour (this American packinghouse standard, he reveals, is nearly 6 times the rate of European slaughterhouses); an in-depth look into serious nutritional, environmental, and cultural questions. Fast Food Nation is a groundbreaking work of investigation and cultural history that has changed the way America thinks about the way it eats.

    Fast Food Nation the movie is slated to be released by Fox Searchlight on November 17, 2006. Starring Ethan Hawke, Avril Lavigne, Patricia Arquette, and Greg Kinnear.

    5 out of 5 stars Very well written - informative without being alarmist.......2007-07-15

    This book describes the growth of the fast food / burger industry in America, and the consequences from fast food's popularity. The author covers labor practices (and malpractices) in the cattle growing and food processing industries, food regulation, dietary effects, and health hazards like E.Coli and mad cow.

    The book is very well written, in my opinion. I found the opening stories about Cheyenne Mountain and the rise of the burger industry in California fascinating. Some of the personal stories of illegal immigrants in the food processing industry were also interesting, although I feel the author emphasized them too much. I personally was more interested in the larger history and practices of the industry and when the personal effects for me as a consumer could be. That was also covered - I just wish some other parts had been shorter.

    The book is not indiscriminate leftist McDonalds bashing -- in fact, at the end the author acknowledges some industry-changing positive steps McD has taken to insure better beef quality, and even goes on to praise In-N-Out Burger, my favorite burger chain in California :)

    Very good reading, you will not regret buying or borrowing it.

    5 out of 5 stars No zealot like a convert.......2007-07-10

    A modern-day "The Jungle", this book is powerful enough to change the eating habits of even the most indifferent consumer. The expose on the USDA and FDA is particularly chilling.

    4 out of 5 stars First half blah, second half must read.......2007-06-23

    After years of hearing about it from my mother I'm finally read this books. I'm glad I did but it wasn't perfect. The second half about the common practices of meat produces both in and out of the slaughterhouses was good and something everyone should read. The first half however I had a hard time getting through. I didn't find the part on the beginning/growth interesting, nor did I enjoy the discussion of the sociological and economic effects of the fast food industry. He just spend way too long whining about how big companies are killing off the "American farmer" relying almost entirely on the 'this is how it used to be so it's best' argument. The book breaks down into two parts; skip the first half but the second is a must read for everyone.

    I know kids that buy Taco Bell for lunch religiously at school, or domino's pizza; I was never fortunate enough to spend a $4 on lunch everday and came with packed carrots and a turkey sandwich. After reading Fast Food Nation I am so thankful that I am even limited to eating fast food on a rare weekend.I agree that it is very convenient for fast paced lives but Schlosser has released what people sacrifice for their bodies for their own convenience. I look back in disgust at the Hot Lunches I begged my parents for in school; us kids would complain that the fried chicken was sometimes purple or awkwardly brown; and now because of Schlosser's book I relize that its just not apparent in a bad kitchen staff. Fast Food Nation provides the trueth about what we put into our bodies and honestly is trying to help America not be the number one country with people with weight issues and Burger King, McDonalds or Taco Bell within every neighborhood. In addition, I've always loved $.89 tacos or buritto supremes at Taco Bell... but I've now decided to change my diet and stick to my own prepared food...or my mothers will be much much better for me and my body. I know kids that buy Taco Bell for lunch religiously at school, or domino's pizza; I was never fortunate enough to spend a $4 on lunch everday and came with packed carrots and a PB and J.

Fast Food Nation made me question where and how my hamberger meat traveled from its producer- why would I want to eat something when I dont know what it ate or how it was handled.

    5 out of 5 stars A Must-Read for anyone that eats fast food.......2007-01-09

    It's important to stay informed - to be armed with the knowledge to make the right choices as to what you put in your body and how you choose to stay healthy as you move forward in life... Sounds cheesy? or is it simply good common sense to do so? This book will arm you with what you need to know about fast food (and indeed the food industries generally), and what they have to do in order to get products to you. I read this a couple of years ago, and have been buying copies for friends ever since. I feel it is required reading...

    Amazon.com's Best of 2001

    On any given day, one out of four Americans opts for a quick and cheap meal at a fast-food restaurant, without giving either its speed or its thriftiness a second thought. Fast food is so ubiquitous that it now seems as American, and harmless, as apple pie. But the industry's drive for consolidation, homogenization, and speed has radically transformed America's diet, landscape, economy, and workforce, often in insidiously destructive ways. Eric Schlosser, an award-winning journalist, opens his ambitious and ultimately devastating exposé with an introduction to the iconoclasts and high school dropouts, such as Harlan Sanders and the McDonald brothers, who first applied the principles of a factory assembly line to a commercial kitchen. Quickly, however, he moves behind the counter with the overworked and underpaid teenage workers, onto the factory farms where the potatoes and beef are grown, and into the slaughterhouses run by giant meatpacking corporations. Schlosser wants you to know why those French fries taste so good (with a visit to the world's largest flavor company) and "what really lurks between those sesame-seed buns." Eater beware: forget your concerns about cholesterol, there is--literally--feces in your meat.

    Schlosser's investigation reaches its frightening peak in the meatpacking plants as he reveals the almost complete lack of federal oversight of a seemingly lawless industry. His searing portrayal of the industry is disturbingly similar to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, written in 1906: nightmare working conditions, union busting, and unsanitary practices that introduce E. coli and other pathogens into restaurants, public schools, and homes. Almost as disturbing is his description of how the industry "both feeds and feeds off the young," insinuating itself into all aspects of children's lives, even the pages of their school books, while leaving them prone to obesity and disease. Fortunately, Schlosser offers some eminently practical remedies. "Eating in the United States should no longer be a form of high-risk behavior," he writes. Where to begin? Ask yourself, is the true cost of having it "your way" really worth it? --Lesley Reed

    Book Description

    Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad. That's a lengthy list of charges, but here Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry wit, and careful reasoning.

    Schlosser's myth-shattering survey stretches from California's subdivisions where the business was born to the industrial corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike where many fast food's flavors are concocted. Along the way, he unearths a trove of fascinating, unsettling truths -- from the unholy alliance between fast food and Hollywood to the seismic changes the industry has wrought in food production, popular culture, and even real estate. He also uncovers the fast food chains' disturbing efforts to reel in the youngest, most susceptible consumers even while they hone their institutionalized exploitation of teenagers and minorities.

    5 out of 5 stars Fast Food Nation - Eye opening read.......2007-10-04

    This is a very well researched and written tome that I would recommend to anyone interested in how big agribusiness works. Cynical by nature, I'm even more so after reading the book, especially when it comes to politics and big business. If you read nothing else, check out the chapter on the slaughterhouse. Egad.

    I look forward to reading Schlosser's other book, Refer Madness.

    4 out of 5 stars Eye Opening.......2007-09-29

    After reading the book, I became so appalled at the thought of eating fast food again. It's not just about health either. The sad and horrific stories about how factory workers were treated and their working conditions will wake you up. One often knows how bad fast food is, but until you read this, you won't really know just how BAD it is.

    5 out of 5 stars Alarming!.......2007-09-28

    I could not put the book down. I found it so intriguing that I had to buy another copy to pass among my family and friends. I was, like the rest of the people who have read this, shocked to know exactly how the large agricultural companies operate and the feebleness with which the FDA and USDA operate.
    Being a government employee myself I feel the massive budget cuts and have experienced the mounds of work displaced to employees already overwhelmed. There's no way to catch up or catch anything that is not a blatant violation. So, I'm not surprised to find out that the majority of the time the agricultural business is left to police itself.
    I was skeptical by the amount of negative information in the book and wondered if this could indeed really be happening. The author, however, delivers facts and names which when investigated would have to be accurate for those details to be published -otherwise this book would have been shut down before publishing.
    That said I feel the book must be on the mark. Knowing that I am more cautious, than ever, about where I purchase my food. I could not stand fast food before I read the book, which gave me relief that not eating junk food is sensible advice. Knowing what I know now I choose to cook more meals at home. I have banned the supermarket for most items that I can purchase locally -meats and vegetables. Trust in the man at Winn Dixie or Food Lion is gone.
    My advice; educate yourself. Do not let this be the only source of information about the food industry. Buy locally if you can. Make a friend of your local butcher or farmer's market. Purchase in-season items -this reduces the miles your food has traveled which lessens the environmental impact of what you are eating. It'll guarantee a better quality product too. Know where your food is coming from.

    5 out of 5 stars If you've ever eaten a hamburger and can read, then you shouldn't go another day without reading this book........2007-09-20

    This book a little difficult to read in the first chapters as they tend to remind me of old text books from highschool filled with history and facts that don't seem to affect me, but I trudged on. I'm very grateful that I did. Once you begin to realize how these mundane somewhat trivial facts begin to turn into corporate deception, lack of humanity and a threat to our very way of life, your eyes will open and you'll begin to understand the need for everyone to be made aware of these atrocities against Americans and other cultures around the world. We spend our days backseat driving our politicians and football players while something we take for granted is quietly taking control of our diet and stealing our health from us while we pay them to do it.

    If you have ever eaten a hamburger or a french fry and you can read, you shouldn't go another day of your life with blinders on. READ THIS BOOK. It may save your life and the lives of your grandchildren someday.

    5 out of 5 stars THIS is your McWake Up Call.......2007-09-17

    I am still amazed at the lines I see in the lines of fast food restaurants as I drive past many of them. Obviously, this book still has a lot of minds to change. In retrospect, it may even be preaching to the choir. That certainly does not diminish the importance of some of the statements in this book.

    With over a thousand reviews, I trust that most of the reviews has already done an adequate job of reviewing the facts of this book. So I will make some general comments about the work. First even before this book, it would be ignorant to think healthy food comes from a fast food restaurant. By itself, any fried food is generally bad for you. Second, I was expecting the theme of this book to focus more on fast food establishments. Yet Schlosser's statements about the meat packing industry are staggering and frightening. I really do not have much of a desire to eat ground beef again. My third comment is more of a rhetorical question. How long will it be before the American public gets tired of the Republicans bending over backwards for business just because they continually stump for religion? The malaise of the American electorate frightens me.

    The people that need to read this book most are probably waiting in line at the drive thru as we speak. When Americans learn that Ronald McDonald's food is not healthy food, perhaps the obesity epidemic in this country will dissolve. At least it will be a good first step.

    4 out of 5 stars Fast- Food: Gone with it!.......2007-03-26

    I really enjoyed reading Schlosser's Fast- Food Nation. He really explained and elaborated the history and evolution of the industry, with pro's and con's. As well as focusing on the history of the fast- food industry, he connects with Upton Sinclair's, "The Jungle," talking about the meat- packing industry and how it effects the fast food industry today. Personally, I don't eat fast- food but it was very interesting to read about how it got started and how today, it's gotten to the point that there is a McDonald's in almost every state in the U.S. as well as in Europe.
    Overall, I rate this book 4 stars and look forward to read more of Schlosser's books in the future.

    4 out of 5 stars Fast Food Nation.......2006-01-11

    Fast Food Nation chronicles the history of what have become today's largest and most successful fast food chains. He uncovers the dark secrets that lie behind the "all-american meal"
    Schlosser does a great job of keeping the reader entertained with interesting facts and he makes it hard for the reader to put the book down. This being Schlosser's first book is acutely reminiscant of Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" it takes a direct look at meat packing plants and tells us "why the fries taste so good." After reading this book, the reader may or may not have a hard time even looking at fast food restaurants.

    5 out of 5 stars Very detailed history and facts about the fastfood industry.......2005-07-01

    Fastfood Nation is a detailed research into the fastfood industry. It appears to be marketed as an expose detailing how fastfood makes you fat and ruins the world. Happily it isn't that. Instead it is a thorough fact based description of all aspects of the fastfood industry.

    Schlosser obsessively details: The history of fastfood in general, dwelling on histories of the nation wide chains, and with references to interviews with founders if the founders were still alive to interview. Case studies of workers at all levels of the industry and discussion of the economics that make franchises work. Where the ingredients in the food come from, including the farmers, the corporations that distribute food to the various fastfood companies and how the flavors are designed and mass produced. And finally how the fastfood industry is changing and expanding globally today.

    I am curious as to what kind of field research Schlosser did for this book. His descriptions of how the fastfood world works as far as hows and whys of worker treatment are dead on. (I have worked enough fastfood to leave sizable gaps of "seasonal worker" on my resume.) Obviously he interviewed people, but it seems like he also did follow up interviews over a longer period of time perhaps a couple of years. It is good to see someone with a job that presumably comes with benefits who has a firm grasp of the situation.

    I recommend this book to the curious. If you are looking for a 200 page essay on why fastfood is bad then look elsewhere. This isn't that book and doesn't even push that conclusion. However, if you are looking for a well written report on all aspects of the history and workings of the fastfood industry then you will love this. It is obsessively detailed. Clearly Schlosser has a grasp of the subject.

            Book Description

            It is the year 2364. War rages across the Ætherverse. Armies open gates between parallel universes and fall upon the worlds within. They come in search of resources, plunder, or slaves. Worlds raise what defense they can: some technological, some diplomatic, and some even attempt to turn back invaders through more mystical means.

            Some succeed.

            Ætherverse is a 25-30mm scale tabletop miniatures war game of infinite futures. Set in a time when the existence of parallel universes has been shown to be true, Ætherverse provides you with a limitless backdrop against which to fight out battles between armies and worlds of boundless possibility. No matter what wars the future holds in your imagination, you will be able to play these out on your tabletop.

            In some dimensions, the Roman Empire never collapsed, instead growing to conquer the western world and expanding into space. In others humanity evolved among a slightly different path, and in some primates were not the species to become dominant on Earth. Some futures have humankind being wiped out by an alien race or, worse, by their own warmongering ways.

            You are free to use whatever your imagination creates.
            Infinite Worlds. Infinite Armies. Infinite Possibilities.

            5 out of 5 stars New, interesting, and best of all FUN new wargame........2005-04-03

            By far the most intuitive, fun to play, and original wargame I have played (and I've played a lot). Not only that, but there are LIMITLESS possibilities, since every player can make their own armies!
