Not just junk food
When Fast Food Nation came out all the reviews I read focussed on how terrible fast food is in terms of what's in it. This book actually looks much wider at the labour issues around unskilled and teenage employers, the anti-union nature of the fast food corporates, their anti-health and safety stance and the history of mass-production and how it ended up being used in food production. In the middle of reading it but it is excellent.
Rating: 9/10
