 ... association to a picture was ?McDonalds? after seeing a picture of the Golden arches on the side of a van. I think I need to apologise, I feel I?ve mentioned McDonalds too much already. Much of the book is about people, not companies. Real stories that illustrate how the industry works and treats its employees, showing they really do only seem to care about profits. Much of this focuses on the meatpacking industry, showing the shocking amount and scale of injury that occurs i...more

Crowned Review Fast Food Nation - Eric Schlosser: Not Lovin' It Anymore (1159 words)
by - written on 19/04/04 (Very useful, 346 readings)
Rating:

Britain is getting fatter according to numerous recent publications and shock TV documentaries. Apparently we eat more fast food than any other country in Europe. But we are still nowhere near as fat as America. I believe one half of Americans are now overweight or obese. This situation has resulted from a massive shift in lifestyle involving eating more and worse foods and exercising less. And the prime culprit is fast food. My own personal experience of driving through America is being able to find nothing but fast food joints for lunch. Driving into a small town or a drive in shopping centre it is often ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review The Real Cost of Fast Food  (1570 words)
by - written on 29/06/02 (Very useful, 1874 readings)
Rating:

It's lunchtime, you're hungry, and you need something quick. You walk through the doors of one of the popular fast food 'restaurants'. It's busy, there are lots of people around from all walks of life. Businessmen in suits, mothers with pushchairs and screaming children, men with big muscles and tattoos, adolescents with green hair and rings through every conceivable part of their body. You approach the counter and join one of the fast moving queues. No need to look at the menu - you already know what you want. Finally it's your turn and you are face-to-face with a kid who really looks like they ought to be at school. They flash an ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Fast Food Nation - Eric Schlosser: Burger me! (695 words)
by - written on 18/06/02 (Very useful, 546 readings)
Rating:

Now, as my regular reader might remember I joined a gym a few months ago and going there, coupled with a healthier diet is starting to pay dividends for me. However, my willpower isn’t always the greatest – how many times have you driven past a KFC, Burger King or McDonalds and thought you’d pop in for a bite to eat? I was determined to stop going to these fast food places however and so thought a purchase of ‘Fast Food Nation’ would help me no end. Written by Eric Schlosser, Fast Food Nation looks at the early beginnings, growth and success of McDonalds primarily (although he also looks at places such as Wendy’s, Taco Bell ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Do you want fries with that? (871 words)
by - written on 29/06/04 (Very useful, 229 readings)
Rating:

Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser I bought this book a while ago on recommendation from my old economics teacher at school. Knowing him, I expected the book to be mainly a 289 page McBashing, which would show horror stories of what has been found in fast food and dodgy ethics practised by the big fast food companies. However as I started reading I found there was far more to this book than I expected. The focus of this book is much more on individual parts of the supply chain that are involved in creating the ingredients necessary for fast food restaurants rather than the restaurants ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Fast Food Nation - Eric Schlosser: Vegetarian Rabbit Food, Anyone? (856 words)
by - written on 06/03/03 (Very useful, 317 readings)
Rating:

It was with a certain amount of schadenfreude that I approached this book. Even before I cracked the cover, I knew what it was about, and had ideas of the horror stories it would tell. And I for one knew that I would enjoy it in a way only those who have never, ever, eaten a fast food burger can. (For the record, I am vegetarian, but don’t eat the rabbit food often associated with this dietary choice. I’m more of a chocolate and bread kinda girl, but that as a title wouldn’t have had the same appeal, would it?) You’d be forgiven for thinking Fast Food Nation is one long rant at McDonalds. They’re the most well known of the fast food ...  Read the complete review
