Review of "Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of The All-american Meal" by Eric Schlosser

Do most Americans have a healthy meal? Well an average American spends more than 1,000 dollars only on junk food or fast food. Today's history there is so much obesity just because of junk food or fast food, thanks to the founders of the fast food restaurants. These founders didn’t only find fast-food restaurants but also caused effect in Americans lives. The Fast Food Nation got better when McDonalds first built the assembly line, which everyone was impressed and it started to get national. The reason that families started to go there is because these fast food restaurants are building playgrounds, bringing toys, and having a new menus for the kids. Which attracts kids to come with their parents. That's not only it the food that these parents get for their kids comes from an unclean place, and this might cause you and your child to get sick. The Fast Food Nation grew really fast it first start really small people would be selling hamburgers, hot dogs, sodas, and etc. in food carts. Then as time passed it started to get bigger and bigger, McDonalds started to build the assembly line, then the drive thru came along and when all these inventions came out every fast-food restaurants started to use it too.

McDonalds wasn’t the only fast food restaurant there was Dominos, Wendy's, Burger King, Taco Bell, and etc., but from all these fast food restaurants McDonalds was the top leading restaurant. When kids and their parents enter any fast food restaurant they don’t know what process all these fast food go through. The french fries that this children and their parents eat are all frozen, in one day there is a total of million pounds of fries produced. The meat that is between your two breads comes from a place where there is poverty, homelessness, drug abuse, but the company that produces all of these meats is the nation’s biggest meatpacking company. But that's not only it about meat products and their industry the most dangerous job out there is the cutting of the meats. The reason that this job is one of the dangerous jobs out there is because when these meats are being cut they are cut by knives which make it dangerous. In the United States of America roughly 200,000 people get sick a day because of disease named foodborne, 900 people are hospitalized, and even worse 14 people die. The Author’s objective here was to tells us the really world out there about the Fast Food Industry. The Author wants us to spread the truth about the Fast Food Industry.

A universal lesson that really affected me is these Fast Food Restaurants hid these secrets that not everyone knew too much, and which affected lots of people's lives the lesson from here is that hiding a secret doesn’t help everyone it always affects the person opposite of you. Telling the truth would always help you and the person opposite of you. Always be who you are and tell the truth even if it will help your life. Fast Food Nation The Dark Side of the All-American Meal was one of the best books to be read. It gives you life lessons, tells what is actually behind the Fast Food Industry.
