Fast Food Nation


I thought this was a fabu book although I don't like the socialism at the end...the last few pages was reminiscent of reading the Jungle. It talks about how the fast food industry has redefined much of the our nation's industries. The most fascinating one is how it describes the changes to the meat packing industry and what used to once be a highly paid and skilled union profession is now a dangerous and life threatening job that chews up and spits out illegal immigrants.

Is it true? You tell me, how else did a finger end up in the food?
