Fast Food Nation

            Fast Food Nation is definitely a book worth reading. I knew a lot of the stuff that is said in the book that was going on. The only difference between my ideas and Schlosser’s sayings is he first handedly experienced what it is like to walk through a slaughterhouse and see how the slaughter is truly performed. Also he saw the working conditions and heard stories from employees. Luckily, Schlosser publicized the issues and cruelty that happen throughout the meat packing industries and overall fast food corporations. Still, it may not seem like Schlosser has influenced the population with his information, but he surely has changed peoples’ minds about what they might be ordering when they are at the register choosing what they want. I know for a fact I have been passing more often on going to lunch with co-workers when they say they are going to (insert fast food restaurant).

            Any one who actually read the book will agree that it has somehow connected to their personal life. As I have said before, this book is a worth the read. It wasn’t too lengthy, especially since the reading was so spread out over a couple of months. Also, there is plenty of information to the read that much more interesting along with employees personal experiences of being affected by the fast food industry. Overall a good book.
