Fast Food Nation

sfer · #1 10-21-2005, 10:30 AM

I have two copies laying around and I'm having trouble picking a new book to start so I might as well. I like fast food. Sometimes I eat fast food. I would prefer not getting grossed out to the point where I can't enjoy something greasy and overwhelmingly artificial in the future. Have other people who have read the book had their eating habits altered significantly afterward?

I've been wanting to read this for a while now. Let me know how it goes if you do decide to read it.

If I remember correctly Bruiser read this book and started a pretty long topic on this a few months ago.

nah it won't do that to you. It doesn't go that much into the gross details of ground beef, IIRC.

I definitely cut back on my fast food intake a little bit after reading it, but it wasn't because I could no longer stomach it.

Great book, one of my favorites.

edit: okay maybe it goes into more detail than I remembered. I got confused because I know I learned a lot of the really gross stuff elsewhere.

I know several people who will not have anything to do with fast food after reading this book. It has as much to do with the harm places like McD's are doing to the world in general (rain forests, etc) as with the health aspects of the food.

Let's put it this way, after reading this book, even I gave eating fast food a break. It's a great book. But it shines a horrible light on the beef industry.

OK... but I thought it was irrelevant once someone said they were 6'8".

My mom said it made her never want to eat fast food again.
