Chew On This: Everything You Don't Want to Know About Fast Food
reviewed on + 8 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


This book will make you think twice before grabbing a quick meal at a fast food restaurant. The author covers the terrible ways in which the animals are treated before being slaughtered, the near-impossible speeds by which the slaughter-house employees must work (causing serious injuries and even death); how fast food supports illegal immigration, the tricks used by the corporate giants to lure kids and thus their parents, and the terrible ways the employees--mostly high school teenagers--are treated, and not rewarded.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, as well as the movie "Fast Food Nation" which has an all-star cast and shows everything that this book talks about.
