I've advocated it before, but Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser is a real eye-opener. The opening chapters cover the history of the meat industry and the origins of McDonalds and it's absolutely fascinating stuff even if you're not vegetarian. Another one that I've read good reports about ...

KromesTomes: Fast Food Nation is the book that convinced me to never, ever eat at McDonald's again. Or any other fast food joint, for that matter. But if you prefer fiction, try My year of meats, by Ruth L. Ozeki. It's all about cattle farms and hormones and... truly scary. I've been ...

Yep, I've read Fast Food Nation. I was fascinated though I must admit I still eat fast food hamburgers.

I am currently reading The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving and Fast Food Nation. I am also trying to slug through Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Next up will be Special Topics in Calamity Physics.

BoPeep: I haven't been to a McDonald's or a Burger King since I read Fast Food Nation when it came out. A parallel fiction book that complements it perfectly is My Year of Meats by Ruth L. Ozeki. I highly recommend it. beckbart: I don't know if it's urban legend, but Hero with a Thousand ...
