An inside look on the beginnings of fast food industry and how it changed America forever. More suprising was the superb piece on meat packaging industry and food additives. Warning - this is serious gut wrenching reading and you might stop eating at fast food joints or even become a vegeterian!! I really loved author's excellent style of writing - it doesn't read like a typical piece of investigative non-fiction book. It reads more like a story that digs deeper by the page and keeps you engaged.

This book was on the recommended summer reading list for my son's high school. Initially I borrowed it from a library but ended up buying it so I could share it with my other family members.

I'd heard of this book/movie but wasn't too familiar. I found this to be very eye opening. It starts out with interesting history regarding the founding of the fast food concept in California in the 1940's. McDonalds and Carl's Jr. are covered extensively.

Then gets into the evolution of the industry into mass production to the point where the companies and presumably consumers want their burger and fast food outlet to be the same whether in Scranton, Seattle, or Shanghai. The drive to low cost and homogeniety has had devastating impact to the farmers, ranchers, fast food employees, migrant worker butchers, and food safety. The lack of regulation and oversight is extremely shocking and is going sideways at best.

Book pulls no punches. I would definitely consider purchasing other books by this author. And I will definitely think twice before entering that fast food outlet or buying hamburger at the supermarket.

Extremely informative; Almost to much information to digest in one reading. Nothing at all like the movie it spawned. A little to opinionated to be be considered unbiased but extremely informative. One that every Fast food eater, occasional or otherwise should read at least once.

I enjoy this purchasing. The product is just like what was described, not brand new, but is in good condition. very good!!

Great condition (accurately reported highlighting etc.), fast delivery, no problems. Thanks for saving me lots of money.

I can't believe that how great the book is. It looks really new. Although it take a long time to ship here.

We ordered it because the price was right. It arrived in a timely manner and was in excellent shape. THanks so much.

This book came in good time. It's an interesting book, especially if you consume Fast Food on a daily or even weekly basis! Very informative!!! I decided to buy this because it was a required book for one of my college classes, but was very well worth the money!

I've just skimmed through it, but it does seem to have reliable,informative information. There are things you will never have imagined. For instance, what goes on surreptiously in fast food restaurants' kitchens.

I love the book it was in great condition and excatky as described. I would definetly purchase this book again if i had too.

Great Product, Great condition. Fast Shipping. This book was in excellent condition. It was also a good read. I bought this for a Sociology Course @ SMC.

It's a long-winded and rather dull book, but it has some interesting information in it. I had to buy it for my English 101 class. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who doesn't absolutely have to read it.

ordered the book for my son for school, delivered fast and in great condition as described - thanks!

It was a great book to read. The author did a great amount of investigation before writing this book in order to inform his readers of the strategies involved in the fast food industry. It reveals more than you could ever imagine and will make you think twice before taking your children to get a happy meal. My only complaint was that the book began a little slow, with more of a description of the background of fast food. But in the end, it was well-worth it to read.

This item was never received I would not shop from this person, they are patently dishonest and will not return any requests for comments.

Very fast shipping, good condition. The product was as described. Great seller!! Thank you very much!!

I never received the book I purchased. I contacted the seller and it was determined there were shipping issues and the seller said they had resent the book to me; however, I NEVER received the book and a followup email.

I bought it because i needed it for class. it came in the condition it was said to be. It came pretty fast.

seller did not ship my book nor will he reply to my emails! i never had such a awful experience. i had to report this seller!

Actually I purchased the book for my brother who needed it for a class at his university, I really did not buy it for myself, however I have watched several documentary's on similiar topics that raise awareness and concerns to the broad pubic.
