Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser ($25.00, Houghton Mifflin) is subtitled “the dark side of the all-American meal,” and we guarantee this book will make you reconsider the next time you’re tempted to head for the closest drive-thru. Is it an indictment of American fast food? In a word, yes. It almost illustrates the power that McDonald’s et al have for good (i.e. nutritional Happy Meals, Earth-friendly farm policies) as well as bad. Let’s hope Ronald McDonald is reading. |
