Fries With That?
I just finished "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser. Aside from an occasional guilty craving for chicken McNuggets, I don't eat a lot of fast food. It's unhealthy, tasteless, and tacky. But occasionally there's that guilty craving, or the unfortunate situation of being starving and trapped on the interstate with nothing but rest stops to choose from. So I do ingest the occasional burger or two.
About 3 chapters into this book I was determined never to touch fast food ever again.
About halfway through, I started seriously considering shopping at Whole Foods and buying all organic meats and dairy products. If you decide to read "Fast Food Nation," for the love of god, don't read the chapters on the meatpacking industry and e. coli contamination while you're eating. (Unless it's while you're eating a McDonald's cheeseburger--in that case, the poetic irony might be worth it.)
