A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The jaw-dropping expose on how Americas fast food industry has shaped the landscape of America. This fascinating study reveals how the fast food industry has altered the landscape of America, widened the gap between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and transformed food production throughout the world. Eric Schlosser inspires readers to look beneath the surface of our food system, consider its impact on society and, most of all, think for themselves. This book has changed the way millions of people think about what they eat and helped to launch today’s food movement. Review ...Schlosser is a serious and diligent reporter... [Fast Food Nation] is a fine piece of muckraking, alarming without beling alarmist. - Rob Walker, NYTBR 1/21/01 The New York Times Eric Schlossers Fast Food Nation is a good old-fashioned muckraking expose in the tradition of The American Way of Death thats as disturbing as it is irresistible....Exhaustively researched, frighteningly convincing....channeling the spirits of Upton Sinclair and Rachel Carson....Schlossers research is impressive--statistics, reportage, first-person accounts and interviews, mixing the personal with the global. The San Francisco Chronicle An exemplary blend of polemic and journalism....A tale full of sound, fury, and popping grease. --starred review Kirkus Reviews Schlosser is part essayist, part investigative journalist. His eye is sharp, his profiles perceptive, his prose thoughtful but spare; this is John McPhee behind the counter.... The Washington Post ...everywhere in his thorough, gimlet-eyed, superbly told story, Mr. Schlosser offers up visionary glints....For pure, old-fashioned, Upton Sinclair-style muckraking, the chapters on the meatpacking industry are masterful. Observer Fast Food Nation is investigative journalism of a very high order. And the fit between the authors reporting and his narrative style is just about perfect. The prose moves gracefully between vignette and exposition, assembling great quantities of data in small areas without bursting at the seams. Newsday Schlosser establishes a seminal argument for the true wrongs at the core of modern America. Publishers Weekly, Starred ...reminiscent of Upton Sinclairs The Jungle..... Boston Globe ...Schlosser has done huge amounts of intense, on-the-scene reporting, and he backs up his concerns very convincingly. He presents incredibly resonant images and statistics and observations the reader is unlikely to forget. --San Jose Mercury News Fast Food Nation should be another wake-up call, a super-size serving of common sense.... Atlanta Journal Constitution Part cultural history, part investigative journalism and part polemic...intelligent and highly readable critique.... --Time Out New York Fast Food Nation is the kind of book that you hope young people read because it demonstrates far better than any social studies class the need for government regulation, the unchecked power of multinational corporations and the importance of our everyday decisions. USA Today Fast Food Nation presents these sometimes startling discoveries in a manner that manages to be both careful and fast-paced. Schlosser is a talented storyteller, and his reportorial skills are considerable. --Hartford Courant - From the Back Cover New York Times Bestseller “Schlosser has a flair for dazzling scene-setting and an arsenal of startling facts . . . Fast Food Nation points the way but, to resurrect an old fast food slogan, the choice is yours.”-Los Angeles Times In 2001, Fast Food Nation was published to critical acclaim and became an international bestseller. Eric Schlosser’s expose revealed how the fast food industry has altered the landscape of America, widened the gap between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and transformed food production throughout the world.
