 | | The British Dietetic Association has called the Fast Food Song unwelcome and irresponsible - but that, while true, doesn't matter: this insufferably catchy number could be the soundtrack of our summer. | | | On their website, the Fast Food Rockers insist they are keen to promote healthy eating and, when touring, that they will be raising the issue of healthy alternatives to fast food. | | | It's one in which the government, lamentably, hasn't authorised dawn raids on all households owning this single, even though that might be thoroughly justifiable in terms of improving the nation's health. |

| | Although some of this was covered by Eric Schlosser in his 2001 book Fast Food Nation, Spurlock puts his own quirky spin on the dry statistics. | | | We know it isn't the most healthful of foods, but as soon as a burger hits the grill, our hearts race and mouths water in anticipation. | | | Spurlock's target is the culture of consumerism and the advertising industry that encourages us to want more and more things, from the time we first listen to radio or watch TV. |

| | Blogcritics.org: Fast Food Nation - Eric Schlosser |
| | Schlosser's horrifying and telling examination of the meat-packing industry culminates Fast Food Nation, looking at the industrialization of the meat industry, the severe economic and health impacts on society, and the labor practices and the ever-increasing pace of work on "the Killing Floor". | | | None of these topics are examined in the same comprehensive detail as Schlosser exhibited in Fast Food Nation. | | | Fast Food Nation has that greasy, delicious taste of muckraker ambience, but it is just too well written, too comprehensive, and too well researched to be tarred lightly with that label. |

| | Author of the national bestsellers, Fast Food Nation and Reefer Madness, Eric Schlosser investigates hidden realms of American business and culture and their far-reaching effects on our lives. | | | In Fast Food Nation (over two years on the New York Times bestsellers list), Schlosser uncovers the inner workings of the fast food industry, from the appalling working conditions in American meat-packing plants to the flavor industry along the New Jersey Turnpike that gives fast food its taste. | | | Depicting the tremendous growth and success of the industry, Schlosser reveals how fast food has been a revolutionary force in American life, transforming our diet as well as our economy, workforce and popular culture. |

| | Schlosser has not crafted a scientific slam against fast food joints, but rather a thorough examination of their motives and histories, with a strong emphasis on the people - from both sides of the coin. | | | Values that this country was founded on helped to start what Schlosser calls this "fast food nation," but pushed to the extreme they have and will overrun those same values, replacing them with conformity and an economy where the few rule the many. | | | Fast Food Nation was a very compelling book and clear on the points it wanted to make. |

| | While Schlosser was completing his research for Fast Food Nation, he reports that he made repeated attempts to contact McDonalds to discuss his findings. | | | Interview with Eric Schlosser (requires subscription): includes a discussion of how Schlosser became interested in studying the fast food industry and his thoughts about how the industry might be changed for the better. | | | Schlosser's concerns, rather, are with how the fast-food industry treats its workers, what's in the food that those workers sell, and the dramatic changes that America's new eating habits have produced in the agricultural industry. |

| | Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal By Eric Schlosser review by Andrew Roe / San Francisco Chronicle 28jan01 |
| | Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation" is a good old-fashioned muckraking expose in the tradition of "The American Way of Death" that's as disturbing as it is irresistible, and that ultimately calls for the boycott of one of the most powerful and lucrative industries in the United States. | | | Today very few companies supply the vast majority of the nation's beef, poultry and potatoes, the staples of the fast food diet; small businesses, ranchers and farmers are disappearing. | | | With cattle and sheep carcasses being incinerated all over Europe, with fear of mad cow disease spreading, with obesity and diabetes on the rise, especially among children, the American allegiance to fast food was ripe to be challenged. |

| | The Austin Chronicle Cuisines: |
| | I considered taking a stopwatch, just for fun, to Eric Schlosser's reading at BookPeople on February 25, when the New York Times bestselling author talked about his book Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal (HarperCollins, $13.95), which is now in paperback. | | | Fast Food Nation reveals the sad facts about the American stomach: that in 1970, we spent approximately $6 billion on fast food, and more than $110 billion in 2001. | | | He said he wanted to "take this [predicament] out of the abstract and make it concrete with the names of individuals." Fast Food Nation is a classic muckraking text, but it's also an engaging read about specific people who toil in the inhumane conditions nurtured at beef processing plants. |

| | 'Fast Food Nation' by Eric Schlosser |
| | Thats the national average, says Eric Schlosser, author of this controversial look at the fast-food business. | | | Fast Food Nation, however, deals much more with what Schlosser calls the dark side of the All-American meal. He describes the work inside slaughterhouses -- where employees work ankle-deep in blood, and the just-killed animals swing upside-down on hooks above them -- in graphic detail. | | | On the good side, Schlosser tells some inspiring stories about the McDonald brothers, Harland Sanders (Kentucky Fried Chicken), Carl Karcher (Carls Jr.) and others who started with nothing and made fortunes as our appetites for their fast foods grew. |
