Rating:  - Very grateful to have been encouraged to read this book
I was at a school-related conference (I work for a school district) and one part of it was led by a dietician. Her part lasted less than 30 minutes but during her discussion, she told the group to read this book if we wanted the real picture of how bad fast food is for children and the general public.

The book is so thorough and clear (and disturbing) that ... Read More
Rating: - A Fine Social Thriller.
Fast Food Nation is a fine "Social Thriller" bringing you to the edge of your seat right from beginning till the end.

Rating: - The true world of Fast Food opens before your eyes!
This book is truly interesting in that it explains a process that many consumers thought that they were already familiar with.
This book will explain why:
1) it always seems the person at the register is being "trained".
2) children flock to most fast food joints.
3) the fast food industry exploded with growth in the last 30 years.
4) This country needs an alternative to our current and growing feeding trends!

Outstanding You: Discover, Design and Achieve Ultimate Fitness
This book should be required reading at all American schools.The purpose behind this book is not to convert people to vegetarian/vegan diets, but instead to educate them about the disastrous state our food supply is in.Though I use this book for information to support my vegan/vegetarian diet, I found it incredibly detailed and thought provoking.Highly recommended for anyone seeking more information on where their food comes from. ...
