Fast Food Nation

Just in case there's anyone who hasn't read Eric Schlosser's 2001 book, it's been through reprints and a new cover and is still widely available, including a version for children.

It's not the whole story, but it did seem to herald the start of an increased public awareness that all was not necessarily well with processed food provision- particularly with the ubiquitous fast-food chains.

Then there was Moragn Spurlock's surprise hit film in 2004, Supersize Me.

Does anyone really still think that a completely processed fast-food diet is ok?

I watched SuperSize Me last week and have since vowed to never eat another fast-food burger and/or fries. How disgusting was that show???? It really brings to light what our country is doing to itself!

And not just your country Nytro. There's a similar story here in Ireland and in the UK.
